Judge Suspends All Girls' Revolution Activities for the Forseeable Future

 

Today a judge in Seoul's high court ruled for the temporary suspension of all of Girls' Revolution's group activities pending an investigation into the members' individual contracts. 

Following HyunA Knowles' recent actions to have her contract terminated, news has emerged that Jessica Jiyeon has also followed suit, recently filing to have the allegedly "unfair" terms of her contract reviewed.

According to sources, HyunA is currently in talks with White Entertainment CEO Trina Villota about withdrawing her legal action and returning to the label, but Jessica is standing firm and refusing to budge on the issue.

Similar to Ga-In's arrangement with Nega Network and LOEN Entertainment, Jessica is only signed to White Entertainment as part of Girls' Revolution. Her solo activities are handled by KRS Media, so until the courts rule for Girls' Revolution's activities to resume, Jessica won't legally be able to work with White Entertainment or any of its artists, despite technically still being a member of the group.

A source close to the situation exclusively reveals, "Suzy and Tiffany are on amicable terms with Jessica, and they understand that business is just business, and shouldn't impact on their friendship. They're also trying to reach out to HyunA, as they've heard that she's currently being controlled and lied to by some money-hungry lawyers, and that her betrayal isn't really her fault. Since all of the members have established solo careers, nobody in the group is particularly upset that Girls' Revolution will be unable to promote. There's already talk within White Entertainment of launching a brand new trio with the remaining members once HyunA's issues are sorted out, anway."

Legal experts predict that the current contract dispute will likely last for several years, mirroring the dispute between JYJ and S.M. Entertainment. 

Naturally, netizens are disappointed by the news, writing: "I thought with Tiffany back that Girls' Revolution would return next year and surpass 2NE1 in popularity. I'm so heartbroken," "I'm excited for the new trio. A fresh start is what they need," and "Jessica will be better at KRS Media, as she's had lots of success under KellyRose's management."

Tiffany Taeyeon and Jessica Jiyeon's bitter feud featured in 'Yes! Weekend' magazine


Mere days after being discovered alive, Tiffany Tayeon is already making headlines again, and as usual, it's for all the wrong reasons.

Instead of focusing on her miraculous return and heroic tale of survival, top tabloid magazine Yes! Weekend has run a scandalous story about Tiffany's fight with her Girls' Revolution bandmate, Jessica Jiyeon.

According to the magazine, their falling started when Jessica refused to visit Tiffany in the hospital after she was was found alive 10 months after her plane went missing over the Bermuda Triangle. An exclusive excerpt from the magazine reads:
"Jessica didn't want to be dragged into the media circus surrounding Tiffany's suspicious return, and wanted to wait for the scandal to die down before reaching out to Tiffany in private," says a source close to the situation. "But Tiffany was enraged and distraught that her friend didn't immediately rush to be by her side like Suzy Sooyoung did, and when Jessica wouldn't return her frantic calls, she started trashing her on Twitter."
"When Jess saw Tiffany's angry reaction, it reminded her of all the drama they went through last year," continued the source. "She doesn't want to be affiliated with it any longer, and is worried that she'll be overshadowed by Tiffany again, just like when they were promoting in Heathers and Girls' Revolution. Jessica's career has skyrocketed since Tiffany's supposed death, and she isn't ready to go back to being a backup singer just because Tiffany has inconveniently turned up alive."
Yes! Weekend also has an exclusive interview with HyunA Knowles, who recently filed a lawsuit for contract termination against White Entertainment and is currently threatening to release a tell-all book about the scandal.

The magazine is also claiming that Suzy Sooyoung is using drugs again after a stint to rehab last year, citing an anonymous source for the tip.

Netizens have had a lot to say about the scandalous magazine article, commenting: "Team Tiff! Jessica is jealous and was cruel to not visit her in hospital", "Tiffany is filth. She's been trash-tweeting Jess constantly, while Jess has kept a mature and dignified silence like a true lady", "What does fame whore HyunA Knowles have to do with any of this?" and "HEATHERS HWAITING!!!".

BREAKING: HyunA Knowles files lawsuit against White Entertainment, Tiffany Taeyeon -- accuses White of terrorism and more

(Above) HyunA poses for photographers before the press conference
Idol singer HyunA Knowles has filed lawsuits against White Entertainment and plane crash survivor Tiffany Taeyeon, who was just discovered alive late last week after being missing for 10 months in the Bermuda Triangle.

Knowles made the shock announcement at a press conference held today in the ballroom of the Hilton Hotel in Seoul. The controversial singer arrived three hours late for the conference, blaming paparazzi for the delay. She stepped out of a hot pink limousine wearing a traditional hanbok while accompanied by large team of lawyers, and was quickly swarmed by screaming reporters and photographers. The songstress pushed her way through the crowd and made her way to the hotel's garden area, where she posed for photos for twenty minutes before heading into the ballroom to begin the conference.


"Hello. My name is HyunA Knowles, best known as the world's first 'supermodel idol', member of Korea's biggest group Girls' Revolution, and as K-pop's #1 superstar diva," she said, a serious tone in her voice as she bowed and introduced herself. She then continued, "Thank you to everyone for coming out and showing your concern and support. As my legal team previously stated through my official twitter account, this conference is to set the record straight on Tiffany Taeyeon's sudden return."


"I've been with White Entertainment for over a year now, and I've witnessed some outrageous things, but I've never seen such a wickedness and villainy before. It's too much for me and I refuse to remain a silent victim while these crimes take place. I've trusted Tiffany and Trina unnies with my life, which is what made it so easy for them to trick me. But they forgot that I'm no longer the innocent little Indian girl that they found begging on the street all those years ago."


"I'm a woman now, and it's time for me to speak up!" she cried, pounding her fists on the table as the room gasped. Her lawyers quickly swarmed around the singer to calm her down, beckoning a makeup artist to come and touch her up before continuing the conference.


"I believe that Tiffany's return was timed specifically to sabotage my upcoming Christmas single. Trina [Villota] and Suzy [Sooyoung] both accused my marketing strategy of back-to-back releases during Tiffany's absense as my way of trying to replace her. I think White Entertainment faked Tiffany's disappearance with the help of the Illuminati, just like what happened to Tupac. But then they grew jealous of my growing success, so they brought Tiffany back to destroy my career!"


Media in the room looked surprised at the news, whispering amongst each other and tapping away on their phones and tablet devices to tweet the news to their followers.


"We need proof!" Yes Weekend magazine reporter Anthony Bea Arthur finally shouted out.


"Proof?" HyunA replied defiantly. "I'll give you proof! I was rushing to the hospital yesterday, ready to support Tiffany, when an anonymous source texted my cell phone from a private number telling me that White Entertainment has been laundering money and funding terrorist organizations, and that Tiffany is directly involved. I refuse to remain at an agency that is not only inadvertently involving me in criminal activity and terrorism, but also forcing me to work with a known drug user, a mentally-unstable bully, and an ex-prostitute!"


An audible gasp of shock was heard in the room at HyunA's outrageous accusations.


"Tiffany couldn't handle being out of the spotlight so she came back to ruin me. My confidential source informed me that Tiffany found out that I've been working with American hitmaker Sia on my new Christmas single, which must have been the catalyst for her return. By the way, the song will be available for pre-order once this conference is over."


"In summary," said HyunA, reading off of a piece of paper her lawyer gave her. "I am filing a restraining order against Tiffany Taeyeon, and a motion to have my slave contract with White Entertainment terminated immediately so I can transfer to a different agency and release my new single."


She continued: "I'm currently in talks with KRS Media. After I received the anonymous text message tipping me off on White's activities, I randomly ran into KellyRose out the front of Tiffany's hospital, and she drove me back to my dorm and told me to meet with her for lunch so we could discuss a potential signing. I hope that the courts take the side of justice and emancipate me from White Entertainment as soon as possible. Thank you."

Suddenly, the ballroom was full of shouting and yelling as the reporters demanding for a question-and-answer session. HyunA's lawyers and bodyguards were quick to escort the singer out of the hotel, with the singer only stopping to pose for photos on the sidewalk before driving off to the luxury Kimchi Kafe for drinks, a cafe in Seoul that is owned by T-ara Eunjung's mother and is a well-known celebrity hotspot and magnet for paparazzi.


Moments after the conference ended, "HyunA press conference" became the most-talked topic on every Korean search portal, with "Tiffany Taeyeon", "HyunA hanbok", and "White Entertainment terrorism" trailing close behind.


Fans have been flooding our forums to share their thoughts, comments included: "OMG! This is even bigger than IU's sextape and T-ara's bullying scandal.", "HyunA sounded delusional and just wants attention", "Is Katy Perry also involved since she's following Illuminati on twitter?", "I think she just watches too much of Revenge. This story is ridiculous!"

BREAKING NEWS: Tiffany Taeyeon Found Alive!

Tiffany in happier times, before her shock disappearance
Tiffany Taeyeon has been found alive 10 months after her plane went missing over the Bermuda Triangle.

The popular singer was airlifted to Busan Medical Center earlier this afternoon, and was then mobbed by an army of paparazzi as she was transferred to a private health facility in Gangnam Hills.


Official details on Tiffany's whereabouts have yet to be revealed, but according to a statement from the her agency, the Friday Night Fever singer is currently under the care of medical professionals who are running tests to evaluate her current condition.

"I can confirm that Tiffany Taeyeon has been found alive and in reasonably good health," said White Entertainment CEO Trina Villota. "She's currently recovering in a private health facility, where doctors are evaluating her condition. Unfortunately, the other passengers from her plane are still missing."

Villota continued, revealing that Taeyeon's Girls' Revolution bandmates rushed to be by her side after hearing the news.

Jessica is currently filming the drama 'Company'
"Suzy arrived from Beijing an hour ago and is currently at the hospital with Tiffany. HyunA is currently on a flight back from India where she was scheduled to shoot a cameo in a new Bollywood film. Her plane gets in tomorrow morning, and she will head straight to the hospital to be with Tiffany. I've been unable to reach Jessica so far, as she's on a closed-set filming a drama series. I've left several messages with her manager KellyRose, and I hope to hear from her soon." 

While Villota declined to go into detail about Tiffany's current state, a source from the hospital revealed some potentially scandalous details on the singer's condition.

"She's in shock right now," revealed a source close to the situation. "Her physical health seems fine, but she refuses to speak to any of the staff at the facility. Doctors think she could be suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, but it's difficult to tell at this early stage."

The source continued: "Both Suzy and Trina have been extremely uncooperative. A nurse claims to have seen Tiffany talking to them both, but when she went in to check on them, they all went quiet. Police have been trying to question all three of them, but Suzy and Trina are saying they don't know anything, while Tiffany won't utter a single word. It's very confusing, and frankly, a bit suspicious."

Since news of Tiffany's return broke, the singer is currently ranked #1 on all of Korea's major search portals except Daum, where "jessica jiyeon before and after" is still leading.

Netizens have been quick to share their thoughts on shocking breakthrough, writing: "Damnit, I hoped she was dead", "I'm glad Jessica didn't stop filming because 'Company' is my favorite show", "I don't think there is anything suspicious about her disappearance at all", and "Does this mean they won't do another season of Idol Investigations?".
