T-ara announced that it had turned down a 100 million won-worth offer from an alcohol company, and that it will continue to turn down such offers in the future.
A rep from T-ara′s agency Core Contents Media told enews on December 18, "We recently turned down politely a giant offer from a certain alcohol company which offered to pay hundreds of millions of won."
Although all of the members, except the group′s youngest member Ah Reum at age 19, are adults, the group decided that it would be inappropriate for it to star in a commercial for alcohol considering how it wields a great influence over teenagers. It took into consideration how teenagers often imitate the dance, songs, fashion and actions of idol stars, and decided that their appearance in a commercial could promote drinking among them.
The T-ara members said through their agency, "We will continue to decline appearances in alcohol commercials that can promote drinking among teenagers."
