There’s been a lot of controversy surrounding the group T-Ara, member Hwayoung’s contract was terminated, now to add another spin to group many fans have demanded that Eunjung be removed from the cast of “Five Fingers.”
The SBS drama has revealed that shooting will continue as scheduled. They expressed they have no plans to cut off Eunjung.
Already a familiar face in the drama realm, T-ara‘s Ham Eun-jeong has been cast in another new role for the upcoming drama “Five Fingers“.
Ham Eun-jeong was a name on the list for the role, but confirmations weren’t made. Until now. Core Contents Media confirmed on June 29th that the idol star will be playing the role of Hong Dami, a girl that is forced to give up on her own personal dreams due to difficult family circumstances.
“Five Fingers” is about youth that struggle to overcome their tragic pasts and obstacles, fighting to reach for the stars and see their dreams come true. Joo Ji-hoon is another name confirmed; he will be playing the main male lead.
Ham Eun-jeong was debating on whether she should take the role or not, due to plans for T-ara‘s new album and ensuing promotions slated for the near future. However, she has decided to juggle both acts.
Ham Eun-jeong‘s previous drama projects include “Dream High” and “Coffee House“.
“Five Fingers” will start airing on August 4th, following the currently running “A Gentleman’s Dignity“.
T-ara’s Eun Jung suffered another injury, this time she injured her left knee when she was on her way home from dance practice, somehow, she slipped and fell in the slippery snowy road.
The previous injury was a sprained ankle which was for the second time.
The singer’s agency said she “ruptured the supporting structures in her knee-cap” and that she received treatment at the hospital where “she underwent a joint aspiration procedure.” Furthermore, she went back to get her knee checked out on January 25, 2012.
The estimated time for recovery is about six weeks according to the doctors.
The singer’s schedule will be rearranged depending on her recovery.
It seems that Eun Jung is having the worst luck of trying to stay healthy which has caused the group to postpone K-POP Power & Beauty held in San Francisco. Although, there are media reports that said the group had performance visa issues which allows them to perform in the U.S. Either way, fans may not get a chance to see a live performance. Fans and the media must wait and see what happens with T-ara.
