In a significant turn of events, former T-ara member Ah-reum has welcomed a daughter, putting to rest ongoing speculation regarding her personal life.
On the 1st of last month, Ah-reum announced the birth of her daughter on her personal social media account, expressing relief that all inquiries about her child would now be satisfied. She voiced her distress over the unfounded rumors that circulated, such as claims of having undergone an abortion. Ah-reum, who had previously married a businessman in 2018 and has two sons from that union, revealed her current relationship with boyfriend A, amidst ongoing discussions about her past.
In her recent post, she shared not only the joyous news of her daughter's birth but also announced that she is pregnant with her second child, stating, "We just had our beautiful daughter, and I'm already eight weeks into my second pregnancy." This announcement coincided with boyfriend A's request for the public to refrain from questioning him about the controversies surrounding T-ara, which had resurfaced in the media.
The discussion around T-ara intensified after former company representative Kim Kwang-soo referenced the notorious "bullying incident" from over a decade ago during a recent television appearance. This incident has sparked renewed interest and controversy, especially following a resurfaced message sent by Hyoyeon to Ah-reum, declaring her intent to "scratch her face to prevent her from appearing on TV." Hyoyeon later expressed regret over her actions, acknowledging her mistakes and apologizing for the past behavior she now deeply regrets.
Amidst this backdrop, A has asked for understanding, noting that the events being discussed are over ten years old and that both he and Ah-reum prefer to move on from past controversies. He emphasized that the memories of the past should not overshadow the present, highlighting the importance of focusing on the future instead.
Ah-reum entered the entertainment industry as a member of T-ara in 2012 but left the group after a year of activity, marking a notable chapter in her career.
