T-ara's agency Core Contents Media said on the 16th, "There seems to be a misunderstanding in what Eunjung and Soyeon said."

According to officials, during KBS2's "Music Bank in Paris" on the 8th, there were reporters at the location from sveral different countries when T-ara was there.

The controversy that arose was that Eunjung said in French, "À bientôt" (See you later) and then spoke in Japanese by saying, "Arigatou" (Thank you). According to their agency, they were concerned of being disrespectful for not greeting the Japanese reports during the press conference, so Soyeon spoke in Japanese by saying, "Arigato gozaimasu" (Thank you very much). Reporters were confused to hear this, since they assumed that only Korean and French reporters were there.

The agency's official continued, "The T-ara members are upset to hear of the news that came out. It's a pity that people who do not know the real facts and exact circumstances are the ones making it a big deal."

T-ara are currently promoting "Roly-Poly" in Japan.
