Core Contents Media appealed to the public to stop speculating about the health condition of former T-ara member, Ahreum
It was November 9, when Ahreum posted on her Instagram, "My Birthday! One minute has already passed ahh TT TT TT People of Korea! Please Wait! Please!!! Korea! The thing I want to kill the most is the hurt of the heart in every individual!!! Everyone is having a hard time because of that right!? Day by Day!! Please wait a little bit. I, Lee Ahreum, do things that she says she will do. I have lived by working hard through the best confirmation! The wish that I wished for this time was, 'World Happiness.' Keep smiling because it will happen in due time. Certainly!! I will promise you. Give me your promise. Smile for now."
The message made fans speculate since the singer's birthday is in April and not in November. Netizens wondered if her messages are pertaining to her current health condition.
Then on Novemebr 10 Ahreum again posted on Instagram saying, "I, too, have feelings so I cry as much as I want to. I'm warning you. I like people who love me, but I don't need things like fans. If you're not going to treat me like human, don't write any comments. When I'm speaking nicely."
The said message again was decoded by the fans, which they have ben guessing that the singer is suffering from mental health illness.
However on November 10, Core Contents Media responded to the allegations, saying, "We ask that people would stop speculating untrue claims about Ahreum. She is only 20 years old, and is a young child, which is why we ask that you all will cherish her. And for the sake of one young person's life, we ask that you stop the speculations."
Ahreum withdrew form T-ara back in July. In that time the agency stated, "Ahreum, who was more in to hip hop, expressed that she wanted to go solo to show her music style in a different way and the other members respected her decision."
Presently, T-ara retured as a six member group while Ahreum is preparing for her solo activities.
