[Updated]Petition asking for the disbandment of T-ara gains over 71,700 signatures

With more and more individuals growing frustrated over the controversy that first surfaced with the controversial tweets of the T-ara members and the announcement of Hwayoung's contract termination with Core Contents Media, criticisms have been pouring in for the girl group.

A petition has even been created online asking for the disbanding of the group, with the title, "Petition for the Disbanding of T-ara". The petition's description states, "As a group who does not take the stage seriously, and as a group who is taking the lead in the spread of bullying, a big social problem, we ask for the disbanding of this group. It seems the time has come for T-ara, a group who doesn't even greet their sunbaes if they don't believe the other artist to be popular enough, to face the verdict of the public. Please dissolve this group."

The petition has so far gained over 71,700 online signatures with numbers rising quickly.
