Following Seoyeon and Hyomin, Eunjung will be making her appearance on SBS ‘Five Fingers‘ which will air on the 18th. And unlike Soyeon and Hyomin who were cast as supporting characters, Eunjung was cast as the main role. Eunjung will be the second to appear in front of the public through a press conference on August 16th.
Meanwhile netizens are still strongly requesting for T-ara members to be dropped out of the drama(s). Whether or not the bullying incidents were true, netizens continue to state that they do not want to see the drama that features those who were involved in such controversy.
