I WILL NOT COME BACK UNTIL HWAYOUNG DOES (ok i lied big deal wana fight about it?)


my name is james, i am from new york.


t-ara was the 2nd k-pop group i stumbled across. (1st being SNSD :3).
i heard their song bo-peep and was instantly a fan.


i listened to t-ara and their first album for some time without knowing much about the group itself. (the members names or who was who stuff like that) Absolute first album (breaking heart) is still my favorite korean pop album and one of my favorite albums in general overall.

i eventually started learning more about t-ara. and even though my "favorite" member has switched here and there since i became a fan, t-ara is a group in which i truly love their music and each member. i have grown to enjoy them more than SNSD.

i became a soyeon fan thanks to oh my school but i am starting to like hwayoung more and more as time goes on. i hope to see her on more shows in the future to get to know her better.

'im really hurt' is my fave kpop song of all time.




since hwayoungs removal i have come to care less about t-ara. i still love them but i cannot say i feel the same way that i did when hwayoung was there. its a shame T-ara, a group that had potential to be one of the best korean groups ever was damaged and has to suffer because of CCM / KKS.

it was a good 3 years while it lasted. but nothing lasts forever.

KKS/CCM can try to make me forget but, hwayoung was a core and vital member of t-ara. trying to get us to forget her will not work. hwayoung will always be a part of t-ara whether she is on stage with them or not.

ive posted how i feel in the hwayoung forum and my reasons are justifed. do not give me grief for feeling the way i do. respect the fact that there are t-ara fans who loved hwayoung and miss her and want her back, so t-ara can be t-ara again. but more importantly respect hwayoung and t-ara. they still consider each other family and support each other, so we should do the same.

and who knows, maybe one day in the future, hwayoung will be able to reunite with them.


well, with the release of "so crazy" it would seem like t-ara's popularity certainly will never be what is was. the song is, let's be honest, not very good, and the video is sadly, a "genie" knockoff. the fanbase is dying out as well. i will always be a fan and support them but i can certainly see t-ara's glory days are long behind them. with that said, i will cherish all the memories over the years not only of t-ara, but here, with the truly loyal fans as well. it was a pleasure meeting you all and sharing the joy over the years. i have moved onto the red velvet forum, because red velvet is the future. i'll continue to support t-ara of course and hope to create more memories with them as well. it's just time to move on. Thank you all for welcoming me . always believe. HWAYOUNG FOREVER.
