It hasn’t even been a full day since the announcement of Hwayoung’s departure from T-ara hit the ears of fans and the reactions have been explosive. From the official statement from CCM to the press conference that Kim Kwang Soo gave and to him later allowing Hwayoung to even come back, everything has been a jumbled mess.

And now fans are showing their support for Hwayoung and letting her know that they have her back. And Twitter has become a shining spotlight of their work. When the news was first announcement, the words ‘T-ara‘, ‘Hwayoung‘, and ‘CCM‘ immediately captured spots on the world-wide trends chart. Her name managed to stay on the trending list for more than 6 hours.

Not only that but Hwayoung has managed to almost double the amount of followers she has on Twitter! Ever since the press release, she’s gained around 80-90K followers and the number continues to climb. She’s gone from the least-followed member in T-ara to surpassing members Qri and Boram.

In related news, it’s been said that all of the members of T-ara have unfollowed Hwayoung and also that T-ara’s official fan cafe has lost around 6,500 people.
