  2. [14.03.10] T-ara Jiyeon-Hyomin to reveal distinct personalities in solo activities in April

    in News

    Posted

    Hyomin I expected, but Jiyeon too? I would've preferred her moving further in an actress direction, but this is great as well!

    Yeah I suppossed her and Eunjung would pursue acting, but as long as she enjoys this! Maybe this could open some doors, who knows.

    Excited for this :)

    I know I may be dreaming but I wish we could hear some good news about Eunjung in a drama soon.

  10. [13.01.22] T-ara Soyeon's agency, "Just friends talking about friends, not celebrities"

    in News

    I just don't get why T-ara or CCM have to go out of their ways to please them haters. Before the scandal and before CCM screwed everything it'd been good to have someone capable but now people are just biased against them and will find every little thing to turn it into a big issue. No matter what they say or do they'll just continue being hated on. So yeah even saying she'll be reflecting or whatever is useless (idek what's there to 'reflect' about though, the one reflecting should be the reporter who blew this out of proportion and made a news article about something private but hey that's just my opinion).

    Idek I just find this controversy so mindbogglingly stupid but I guess that's Korea for u.

  13. [DISC] Anti-Hwayoung and Bashing

    I have to say, I actually agree with Scatter_88mil's point. When you're trying to defend one side (I'm using you as in general you xD), you often get lost in the heat of an argument, trying to explain why one side did what they did and often end up 'bashing' the other side.. but the fact is, the real target of criticism should be Kim Kwangsoo and CCM. Yes, both Hwayoung and T-ara have their share of responsibility in this issue and one side's wrongdoing doesn't cancel the other's, but if you think about it the way this blew up out of proportion can't be described in other way than utterly ridiculous. It's pointless to try and lay the blame on Hwayoung or T-ara, this wouldn't have happened in a competent management company. Actually, what surprises me given CCM's management and PR history, is that a f**k up of this magnitude didn't happen sooner. They really screwed up by saying the 'twitters were hacked', thus not giving them the chance to fix the issue or explain themselves through twitter asap.

  16. [SPAZZ] Do you want T-ara to go solo or do sub-unit?

    in Discussions

    Posted

    I used to be against this because I thought that if CCM did this, they'd just forget about the rest of the members, but then I realized they kinda already do it. First it was TTL and then WWIL, and both worked.

    The thing about a Soyeon-Hyomin-Eunjung sub-unit is that since dancing is not Soyeon's forte, they'd probably give them an OST ballad or something. Which is great to show off their vocals, but they already did it with WWIL.

    A Jiyeon-Eunjung-Hyomin one would be probably awesome, but they're the most popular members already and I'd prefer it if they muixed it up, one unpopular member + one popular member to help them grab the spotlight. Like... a Jiyeon/Hwayoung sub-unit? idek lol (I don't care if they aren't the best singers, Hyuna goes solo all the time for example, and she's succesful).

    If it's a solo project, I wouldn't mind Eunjung, Jiyeon, Hyomin, or Soyeon solo songs... they'd probably give Soyeon another ballad though... I'm already seeing it LOL

    Ooooh, if it's a rapper thing, maybe include Boram as one of the rappers. Her rap voice is so good, seriously, I love her in TTL T-ara version and in Ma Boo. CCM should really consider giving her that focus.

  21. [12.05.23] T-ara's new members to be revealed on May 31st and June 7th

    in News

    See, I really hate this attitude of "people have to get over it". No, they don't have to. Everyone is entitled their own opinions, everyone needs their time to cope with the changes and I don't think people have a right to decide who is a true fan and who isn't. Just because someone is ok with this it doesn't mean the rest must be. I'm not going to hate on the new girls because it's not their fault and they're too young to be dealing with this, but that doesn't mean I'm ok with CCM's decision.

    This is completely different from when they added BoSoRi and even Hwayoung. The first change was pre-debut and they had to do it because Jsquared left the group. It's normal for rookies to have lineup changes, they're rookies. The second change was made one year after T-ara's debut, when they weren't nearly as popular and established as they are now. It still was unnecessary because they already had two rappers and Hwa can't sing, but the group wasn't a top group like they are at the moment. But even now, there are people who still don't accept her in the group (I mean, if KKS really got rid of a member like he said he might, and that member was Hwayoung, I doubt the outrage would be the same as if they kicked out someone else). She still gets a LOT less screentime than the rest of the members. Roly Poly era was especially bad for her, and it was only recently that she was allowed to shine. But now, T-ara has reached a status in which they are considered one of the top girl groups in Korea, and they were even the second girlgroup behind SNSD in the 2011 Gallup poll. You don't see established groups having totally random lineup changes (Afterschool -who isn't nearly as popular as T-ara- does it but the graduation system is their concept, so it's not random), You won't see 2ne1, SNSD or Big Bang adding new members at this stage, because anyone with common sense can see that you don't change what is already working, especially when you are at the top. It's especially unfair for the current members because they went through A LOT to reach this status. It could be completely understandable if someone was leaving the group and they had to look for a replacement, but in T-ara's case no one is leaving so there's no reason for this lineup change. I think that's what makes people upset.

    But anyway, even now, I really hope the new members are the omg amazing vocalists the CEO says they are for the sake of the group. They don't need another Hwayoung (in the sense that they don't need yet another member that will be underutilized and pushed back) and more importantly, I really hope this is not a case of "adding people because their English skills only". In any case, I hope the 14-year-old girl is not one of the members. I don't think someone that young has a place in T-ara, it will completely change the way the group is in order to accomodate the youngest member, not to mention that someone that young shouldn't deal with the schedules and level of stress T-ara gets. Besides, they won't be able to do mature or sexy concepts in the future, and lately most T-ara tracks have a mature element to them, not to mention how awkward the group dynamycs will get. Even Cry Cry and Lovey Dovey have guns and clubbing, Really, I hope this works out in the end because I love the current members and they've put way too much into this to achieve success, but I'm not too optimistic :/
