TiJinYo may have started as an internet cafe, but the members are taking their act offline.

The anti T-ara internet cafe "We Request The Truth From T-ara" (called TiJinYo for short) announced plans to hold a protest outside of T-ara’s agency, Core Contents Media, on August 4th at 5 PM. The group has submitted an official notice to the police of their plans to assemble and rally, making this a legal, legitimate protest.

TiJinYo clarified that this protest will not be one simply against member Hwayoung leaving the group. It will target the bigger issue of bullying that is arising among young idol stars, that the youth of public look up to.

On a side note, Core Contents Media continues to deny these accusations of group bullying. The agency is sticking to their explanation of Hwayoung being out of the group due to her
uncooperative behavior.

The expected turnout for that day is roughly 100 protestors.

As of 11 AM on August 2nd, TiJinYo had about 336,800 members.

Actress Lee Mi-sook’s former agency, The Contents Media, revealed on Tuesday that it had paid large amounts of money to a male escort Lee was seeing some time ago in order to uphold Lee’s image in public.

During a court proceeding that took place at the Seoul High Court, the agency said its former talent was in a relationship with a male escort 17 years her junior.

In order to keep the man from talking, the agency said that it bribed him with millions of won.

The agency has remained tight-lipped about the ordeal, saying it won’t make an official statement until the final court proceeding that will take place on June 28.

The Contents Media sued Lee back in November of last year for breaching the exclusive contract she signed.

The court agreed that Lee was guilty and ordered her to pay 100 million won ($85,349) in penalties.

However, The Contents Media said that the agency was owed at least double the amount of the fine and appealed for a second trial.
