"To see how the public, without understanding the circumstances, became so sure that there must have been bullying between them. I don't understand, there have been incidents in the past that were much worse, idols who have done illegal things, but why only treat T-ara with such harshness?" "Although we should criticise acts that are wrong, but to see people carelessly criticise and condemn acts that are right simply because of their own subjectivity and bias, I really could not carrying on living pretending that I did not see this in our society." Aah,I simply love these quotes.I hate it when T-ara's scandal were never confirmed but received hatred from almost all citizens in Korea (another example is Tablo) while some who involved in scandals that are far more serious can easily get away with that (but of course,it's not 100% true). Although more than half of Korean citizens and KPOP fans still haven't forgive T-ara,I'm glad to see that these people (e.g: him and Hyomin's 1000th Man PD) still support T-ara through highs and lows.They know that even though they will get a lot of bashing for backing them up,they're not afraid to do so and I respect them for doing that. We,QUEEN'S,just want to say thank you for still supporting our girls.I'm sure they really appreciate that. "After Eunjung was forced out of I had once worried that she would do something stupid." Whoa,that line scares me....Luckily she didn't.

[12.10.08] Director Cha Euntaek talks about T-ara & Eunjung in an interview with News 2 Day "The T-ara incident made me detest even more the way Korean society does not tell right from wrong" Reporter: Recently, you've supported Eunjung through twitter and this became a hot topic. You didn't expect that right? What are your thoughts about the T-ara incident? In response to the question that the reporter asked mindfully, Director Cha Euntaek surprisingly gave a calm and sharp response. Because of his message of support to Eunjung, Director Cha was also criticised by some netizens. Director Cha was the director for T-ara's MV's like Lovey Dovey, and so have known Eunjung for a long time. He understands Eunjung more than anybody else and truly feels sad and worried about Eunjung. "Although my message wasn't left simply without thought nor was it left simply just to cheer her on, it still represented my worry and care for her. When she knew that she was casted for "Five Fingers", you wouldn't know how happy she was and how hard she worked in preparation. If I was a member of T-ara, I might have hidden away somewhere because of the pain. T-ara being ostracised by the public, this has made me really detest Korean society. I really detest those who, after someone's mistake, add insult to injury without first determining right from wrong. To be honest, I thought "Should I gamble my career in the entertainment industry and just say it all [and argue]? Just say it all on twitter?" I was really angry at the time." "I've watched them grow since the T-ara members were still trainees. They are kids who have worked hard to become singers, and I was really hurt to see them criticised like that. Eunjung's message on twitter was actually really simple and pure. They cannot go out and play like other teenagers, but have to practise with all their might, running around to complete their activities. They cannot live like other kids of the same age, but are constrained by their work. They are kids who are more simple and pure than others of their age." "At the time, I was really very upset. To see how the public, without understanding the circumstances, became so sure that there must have been bullying between them. I don't understand, there have been incidents in the past that were much worse, idols who have done illegal things, but why only treat T-ara with such harshness?" About how his message of support for Eunjung caused a stir amongst netizens, Director Cha said: "Although we should criticise acts that are wrong, but to see people carelessly criticise and condemn acts that are right simply because of their own subjectivity and bias, I really could not carrying on living pretending that I did not see this in our society." "Eunjung ah, you have to live with strength" "I always talk with Eunjung, and she told me 'Because of Director-nim, I've gained a lot of strength." She cannot clarify everything that has happened, simply for the reason that they are all very close. In reality, their relationship is not what outsiders have portrayed it to be like, and they do not want each other to be criticised or blamed because of themselves. Because of this incident, they really cried a lot. I really can't bear to see them cry like that. I tried to find ways to comfort them, but I couldn't come up with any good ways but to say to them to live with strength. After Eunjung was forced out of "Five Fingers" I had once worried that she would do something stupid."

[12.10.24] T-ara reveal their lunchboxes, Jiyeon "fruit diet" vs. Hyomin "meat diet" Girl group T-ara members Jiyeon and Hyomin have shown their contrasting "fruit diet" and "meat diet" diets. T-ara's agency Core Contents Media released pictures of Jiyeon eating a lunchbox full of fruit, while Hyomin was eating a lunch full of meat. The lunchboxes were gifts that were given to the members by fans. Their agency said, "T-ara eats and diets according to their varying types of bodies. They don't go on extreme diets, but they all choose to diet specific ways. Often times they get tempted to eat from each others lunchboxes." T-ara is preparing for their Asian Tour beginning in early 2013. *** Source: http://news.nate.com/view/20121024n39809 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem

A heartful of respect to Director Cha Euntaek!! This human(me) salutes you with respect not as fan of T-ara but as a human who really admire you mature and positive thoughts!! Not all people can gamble their career and DARE to speak like you!! A 90 degree blow from me!! Grand salute to you and Proud to be a Queen's!! Just glad to see that many people(kpop staffs) are supporting My Princess and T-ara!!

Okay to be honest probably Tatiseo/SNSD & Troublemaker would win the awards... but on the other hand isn't this proof that T-ara right now is considered one of the top 5 girl bands? PS: Lovey Dovey not being nominated for best song of the year sucks, but I'll accept it .... BUT how the hell did Hyuna's Ice Cream get to be nominated for this category& for best dance solo when she only has started promoting this week? Also with all of their international promotions & Japanese albums why isn't T-ara nominated for Global Group Female, while F(x) is nominated?

YES.Something is fishy though.Lovey Dovey was undeniably Song of the Year for the first 6 months of 2012 (until the recent scandal struck them so bad and the fact that Day by Day didn't really do really well certainly did not help either) and I was extremely taken aback when I noticed that LD wasn't nominated for that category.Their Black Eyes and Funky Town albums sold more than 120,000 thanks to the epic flawless Cry Cry,We Were In Love and Lovey Dovey.They have won 12 number one awards on various music shows but......... Whoever did this was so bias. And yes,once again I agree with both of you.We're really sorry to any 4 Minute's fans,but Ice Cream was only recently released not even more than 1 week and suddenly POFF! it was nominated in one of the most important category in MAMA Award.Regarding f(x) and T-ara's popularity,I guess T-ara isn't popular enough globally and f(x) being in one of South Korea Biggest Entertainment Company,more or less help f(x) to boost their popularity.But to be honest,T-ara is way more popular in my country.Oh well,I guess,it's just in my country. *shrugged* But of course,all these happen probably due to their scandal that shocked the whole KPOP fans especially in SK so maybe the authorities don't want citizens to complaint about how they are been nominated in too much categories.I guess they gonna take a lot of time for the Roly Poly era to return. EDIT:People say it didn't only happen to T-ara but a few huge names in Korea also weren't nominated in Song of the Year while songs that didn't even manage to get to TOP 100 are there.

Agree with xbot. Lovey Dovey was huge, so I'm baffled it wasn't nominated. Not hating on Hyuna, and I like Ice Cream, but the song has just been released. Did it get overwhelming critical acclaim to be nominated? And yes, the Global Girl Group. I thought T-ara's success in a global scale was far better than f(x)? They received gold status in Japan recently, and they had some sold-out concerts, so why are they not in the nominations?
