Areum (T-ara) 'ends' career behind bars, private life details revealed causing a stir

Areum (former member of T-ara) has just been sentenced to prison for a deplorable violation of the law. Accordingly, the Suwon District Court has just opened the first trial of Areum and her boyfriend on charges of fraud.o 37 million won (666 million VND) from fans and acquaintances.

Here, the court sentenced the former T-ara member to 6 months in prison but suspended the sentence, with a probation period of 2 years. During the investigation, the authorities determined that the singer's boyfriend was the mastermind. Remember, Seo Dong Hoon was previously detained while awaiting trial, while Areum was prosecuted without detention late last year on charges of fraud.

The legal battle between Areum and her ex-husband - businessman Kim Young Geul - broke out after the former T-ara member accuse.d him of abusing her and her children. The female idol affirmed that her ex-husband had 'interacted', spat and defecated in the faces of the children.

However, the investigation results showed that there was not enough evidence to convict Kim Young Geul of chil.d abus.e. The analysis results also overturned the case, causing the former T-ara member to be accuse.d of prompting her son to give a statement favorable to the female singer.

The testimon.y from Ahreum's son was inconsistent, and the injuries on the children's bodies did not match Areum's accusations. Later, her ex-husband countersued Areum and the singer was prosecuted for chil.d abus.e. Also during this time, the former T-ara member and her boyfriend Seo Dong Hoon were accuse.d of borrowing 37 million won (666 million VND) from fans and acquaintances but not paying it back.

Areum married businessman Kim Young Geul in 2019. The artist and her ex-husband have two sons together. During the divorc.e process with Kim Young Geul, Areum shocked everyone when she announced that she was remarrying and pregnant with her new boyfriend Seo Dong Hoon's chil.d.

Recently, Areum's marriage crisis has been all over the news with accusations of adulter.y and blackmail. Recently, Areum also publicly admitted that she was abused by her ex-husband and hinted at "saying goodbye to the world". The former T-ARA member's unstable mental state has made fans extremely worried.

Areum's full name is Lee Areum, born on April 19, 1994. The female idol was the last piece added to the T-ARA love team in 2012, first appearing through the Day By Day project. At the time Areum debuted, T-ARA was at its peak with a series of national hits such as Roly Poly, Cry Cry, Lovey Dovey and the explosive comeback Day By Day. Areum was added as the 8th member, taking on the position of main vocalist and rapper. Born in 1994 and joining last, Areum became the youngest member of the group, alongside her same-age friend Jiyeon.

Areum is a "family heiress" with both parents working in the music industry. With a favorable starting point, she did not have to go through the difficult time when T-ARA first debuted but immediately entered the ranks of top gir.l groups. Although T-ARA came from a small company, they quickly became famous thanks to good music, diverse concepts, and an extremely talented and even lineup. In their heyday, T-ARA was a formidable rival of SNSD. It was thought that their career would continue to flourish, but Areum encountered trouble shortly after joining T-ARA.

Right during the Day By Day promotion, member Hwayoung's absence due to a leg injury started a "wrongful accusatio.n" that ruined the career of the top gir.l group. The bullying scanda.l broke out with images of Hwayoung in a wheelchair all over the newspapers. T-ARA was heavily criticized for status lines that hinted at "a member lacking determination". Hwayoung and her sister created a drama of isolation that made the beloved T-ARA become the "national stepchild", boycotted by the public.

T-ARA's peak career collapsed shortly after Areum's promotion. Despite her talent and visual, Areum could not rise to prominence after that. Areum was also added to the sub-unit T-ARA N4 to promote in 2013. She made people regret her bad luck.

In July 2013, Areum suddenly announced that she was leaving T-ARA to pursue her personal career. However, during the six months she left the group, Areum had no musical activities. On social media, she constantly revealed her unstable mental state. Her confusing messages, sometimes extreme, abstract or superstitious, scared many netizens. The female idol stopped working between 2014 and 2016.

In 2017, Areum participated in the survival show The Unit. This was her first activity since leaving T-ARA. But her journey here was not very smooth. Areum was soon eliminated from the show. In an interview after her elimination, Areum revealed that her relationship with Hwayoung when they were still a member of T-ARA was not as bad as everyone thought and that she felt grateful to Hwayoung.

This statement caused the remaining fans who had followed Areum since she was a member of the group to turn their backs on her. Areum faced heavy opposition and criticism. Since then, Areum has not had any significant musical activities. In 2019, she got married to a businessman, opening up a series of events that have lasted until now, along with a series of endless accusations.

Regarding the members of the group T - Ara, in 2017, T-ARA was cleared of all charges. The drama of the Hwayoung sisters ended but the consequences were irreparable. T-ARA was drowne.d in the harshness of public opinion, their careers were past their peak. In May 2017, main vocalist Soyeon and eldest sister Boram did not renew their contracts with their management company. T-ARA only had 4 members left: Qri, Eunjung, Hyomin and Jiyeon. T-ARA's concert in Taiwan was the last event the group performed with all 6 "first generation" members after being cleared of all charges.

With two members leaving, T-ARA only made one more comeback on November 15, 2021, with the single album Re:T-ARA including two songs All Kil.l and Tiki Tika. From here, T-ARA dispersed, each member pursuing their own career.

Jiyeon is currently living the most fulfilling life. She is married to soccer player Hwang Jae Gyun and often shows off her happy marriage on social media. Jiyeon is still active, promoting her acting career and solo music activities.

However, Jiyeon's career was interrupted by a bullying scanda.l, which made her unable to stand out from her contemporaries despite her talent and beauty. Jiyeon's first thriller film - Angry Woman is causing mixed opinions because of its "poor" revenue.

Eunjung, Hyomin and Qri's solo careers are not doing much better. Currently, Eunjung is still focusing on acting but has no outstanding works. Qri has turned to business and no longer appears much in showbiz. Hyomin is the most regrettable member because she has both talent and beauty but luck has not smiled on her. She often makes ho.t topics thanks to her visuals, her body is getting better and better, suitable for luxury brands.
