i am not really sure if this was good news or bad news.. i guess it's kind of both.. good news because of course Chris Brown is a big name he could totally help T-ara be more recognize & well known worldwide but this could also be a bad news since CB has a really bad reputation because he beat Rihanna up and was proven guilty.. i am sure all the knetizens will bash T-ara more (well not that they aren't already).. this may end up by them having more bad image in Korea but this could also mean them having the opportunity to widen their fan base internationally.. so it's kind of a double edge sword..
but i wanna stay positive so maybe this will bring good.. i mean who knows after their collab w/ Chris Brown maybe some other Hollywood stars will take notice & interest in them.. that could atleast be the start.. plus even though i don't like Chris as a person (because he beat up Rihanna then cheat on her) i still like some of him music & even listens to them.. proves that international fans don't really care much about image if they like the song they buy it.. so if they like T-ara's music then they will buy it no matter what scandal they hear or no matter what knetizens bash them..
well according to allkpop article..
"According to Core Contents Media, the T-ara members were able to get in touch with Chris Brown thanks to their upcoming member Dani. Dani has apparently known Chris Brown since her elementary school days, and hearing that she is currently in the States, Chris Brown invited her to his performance in San Jose, California for a radio station concert event, ‘94.9 Wild Jam‘.

After the concert, Dani met up with Brown and when she mentioned that she’s training as a member of T-ara, he showed immediate interest as he’s been taking a closer look at K-pop lately thanks to Psy."

so apparently she knows him since elementary (just don't know how) and upon learning that Dani is in states, Chris invited her to 94.9 Wild Jam.. so there must be where she showed the T-ara N4 video since Ryan Lewis & Macklemore and Trey Songz also watched the MV..

hmm i has to be either Jiyeon or Eunjung.. On portraying role both portray a guy role good but in real life or reality i have to say i voted for Eunjung because i have always see Jiyeon as the sweet, cute & pretty maknae of T-ara & a girly one while Eunjung is the boyish type.. The more tough & has a manlier aura.. Some fans even call her "oppa" LOL.. So that's saying something..

i think the reason MuBank was not allowing T-ara to perform was because their controversy all started in MuBank when Hwayoung refuses to perform in a MuBank performance & T-ara members (except Qri) all tweeted about determination referring to that performance..

Yes plus ranking have change just now.. 7 MVs of T-ara is now on Top 20!!

Why is everybody against Day & Night? Am I the only one anticipating it? Give Areum a chance. If we're going to be so divided, the Queen's fandom will fall apart eventually. Besides, I have listened to Shannon's cover of Phantom of the Opera, and I must say she is definitely a talent.

is it just me but Jiyeon's piercing eyes is so scary,, she's like saying "f*ck you all haters, if you want a b*tch then i'll give you one".. LOL

Actress Kim Hye Eun "Soyeon staying on Haeundae Lovers, please applaud!"





“It is not an issue that can be solved by leaving the drama. Ostracizing/bullying is clearly a serious societal problem, but where there is debate but no confirmed facts or truth, to unconditionally accuse and criticize young adults is not right. To push the young into a difficult situation because of the existence of a debate, is this something that adults should do?”
Actress Kim Hye Eun, who also appears in Haeundae Lovers with Soyeon, candidly expressed her thoughts about the T-ara issue. On the 28th with an interview with Daily Economy Star Today, Kim Hye Eun said “There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the drama, including Soyeon’s appearance on the drama and the Busan dialect, but on set, the atmosphere is still happy and enjoyable.” “It is true that there are many unfavorable aspects, but they have to be solved wisely one by one.”
Kim Hye Eun said that day: “To already have promised to appear in the drama, and to have already participated in over 5 filmings, behaviour like ‘Because of your response, I will cut you out’ is wrong.” “In the T-ara incident, most importantly, it is the adults who have made the bigger errors. I want to applaud the decision of the production team to continue working together under circumstances of debate in order to not disappoint the hardworking actors.”
She continued: “Partial conversations over twitter or SMS between young adults cannot be used to make judgments on everything.” “One cannot say who was at fault, but to avoid similar situations and to prevent kids from getting hurt, care and wise judgments are needed from adults. In particular, if the agency can take some action on behalf of the children, that would be great. Very anxious”
At the same time, she expressed: “No matter what the problem is, to just solve the superficial issue is not the way to resolve the problem.” She added, “Right now, Soyeon, as the object of anger, is in a dilemma. If she ignores the situation and chooses to leave the drama unconditionally, then the viewers’ wounds might feel more comfortable, but the heart will not be cured. Even if the surrounding circumstances are loud and noisy, isn’t it a good thing that the actors’ acting and the production team’s hardwork together receive praise for the drama?”
On the other hand, Kim Hye Eun’s charismatic acting as the wife of President Yang in Haeundae Lover has received praise.

T-ara release handwritten announcement of apology





"We write this letter after much deliberation.The past month has felt longer than the time it took us to debut and the time we've promoted under all of your love.First, we would like to honestly apologize for making so many concerned.We admit that we were immature in not being able to resolve our differences in opinions within the group and letting it out publicly, and we are all reflecting on it together.We deeply apologize for acting without thought.If we had understood each other, shared, and acted more maturely, none of this would have happened..We think that thought every day in misery.Looking back, we've always overcome any hardships together while chasing the same dream, and it breaks our heart to think that all of those good memories are being seen in a bad light.We also think that Hwayoung must have gone through a hard time for being misunderstood as being ostracized.We were all surprised at a result none of us thought or wanted and feel upset that we can no longer be together again.We hope that Hwayoung no longer has to face any pain again.We apologize to everyone for concerning everyone with this issue and disappointing those that loved our music.This hardship was an opportunity of learning for us.We are supposed to be the strength of many, and have now learned how much responsibility we have on our shoulders, as well as how responsibly we must act.To our parents, who live for us, and our fans, who will remain by us until the end to love our music...And to everyone we disappointed, we want to work hard so that our apology will be accepted.We are genuinely sorry. We ask that you also give your everlasting support and love to Hwayoung, who must have had a harder time than us.We will always support Hwayoung no matter what.From all of T-ara.

i'm glad she tweeted but as usual netizens always come up with something to twist her tweet which is so annoying.. i still prefer Hwayoung & T-ara to have their own press conference (w/out CCM interfering please) and tell what exactly happened that day.. EVERYTHING from the reason why Hwayoung refuse to perform from how T-ara felt that pushed them to tweet like that.. the whole thing that happened that day on music bank where all of this started.. Then if there was indeed no bullying then completely deny it on the conference and tell what relationship & friendship they had during those 20 months Hwayoung became T-ara.. After that they could answer some of reporters follow up questions like they're thought on the 'evidence' netizens came up etc..
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I AM SEEING THEY COULD BE SAVE!! TO TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH TOGETHER AS A GROUP AGAIN!! ofcourse some antis would probably not believe it & still hate, but this could stop netizens from cyber bullying them & spreading false rumors..

is this news posted already?!

Korean Broadcast Actors Union Demands Exit of SBS ‘Five Fingers’ Director Over Ham Eun Jung’s Departure







The Korean Broadcast Actors Union (KBAU) has released a press release calling for director Choi Young Hoon of SBS’ Five Fingers to step down.
KBAU released a press release on August 28 in which it sided with T-ara’s Ham Eun Jung saying, “This incident goes beyond a matter simply involving Ham Eun Jung alone but reveals a bigger problem at the casting system level and we are closely monitoring the stance of SBS and the production company Yein E&M.”
The press release added, “SBS and Yein E&M have been attempting to arouse public opinion to make it seem as though this incident was caused by labor union member, Ham Eun Jung and attempting to relate the T-ara incident to this case while trying to cover up the improper one-sided termination of the contract.
KBAU then alleged that Ham Eun Jung had initially shown discomfort on set in doing product placement advertisement with her wardrobe, accessories and other items. This didn’t sit too well with Five Fingers’ investors and producers who secretly met with SBS and director Choi Young Hoon behind closed doors.
Ultimately the director then turned to Core Contents Media’s CEO, Kim Kwang Soo, asking for Ham Eun Jung to exit on her own and claiming he would take care of everything.
However, KBAU accuses SBS and 'Five Fingers’ director of attempting to spin the T-ara outcast controversy as the issue behind Ham Eun Jung’s departure and not the actual issue, which KBAU says was due ultimately to product placement.
KBAU also made accusations that Yein E&M attempted to sign another contract with Ham Eun Jung on top of the contract she had already signed, in which the new contract stated that if the T-ara outcast incident negatively affected the drama’s investors and the companies behind the product placement in any way Ham Eun Jung’s side would have to compensate the drama as well as its investments.
According to KBAU the original contract was signed with Ham Eun Jung on July 17 but the new contract with the additional clause was attempted to be signed on August 21.
KBAU called on Ham Eun Jung to be reinstated to the drama according to the original contract, that director Choi Young Hoon step down from the drama and that Yein E&M issue an official apology.

Thank you Hwayoung. Thank you for to twitting something when other members can't.
As for those antis, the simple fact they've forgotten was, Hwayoung never said anything about "bullying" in the first place.
If they can't take that as "There's no bullying", just let them be idiots like they want to be.
I've read about conflicts in many idol groups recently. It's everywhere.
The only difference they have and T-ara doesn't have is good management.
Those antis are the one living in the dream world and can't see the real truth. So I'll let them be ..

Isn't he's the same person who support T-ara a while back (1-2 weeks ago)?I'm glad to see some sane people who truly support T-ara.First it was Hyomin's PD,then KEMA shows their support and now him.Well,if only Korean netizens and reporters think like them,all these craps won't happen.They do love to exaggerate things,huh?
If this whole controversy didn't happen,we might enjoy ourselves listening to T-ara's Sexy Love by now.Eunjung,Soyeon,Hyomin,Boram,Qri and Jiyeon,please have faith in yourself.I really hope they can get through this hell and not having a mental breakdown
Be strong QUEENS.Every cloud has a silver shining.

LOL she's the one who insisted on taking 'Five Fingers', what's there to sympathize?? I guess she's happy because even before Bridal Mask end she already got another drama.. BM production team is even disappointed at her for accepting this drama when BM haven't even ended yet.. Joo Won got a lot of offer too to star in their drama even before BM ends yet he still haven't accepted any because he choose to focus in BM since their taping & BM haven't ended yet..

GOOD!!! this news bring some rainbow after the storm. Fighting EunJung, You go girl!!

"To restore Eunjung's reputation, we will advocate her rights!"





Regarding Tara Eunjung's receiving of an unilateral notice of termination from the drama production company, the Korean Entertainment Management Association (KEMA) has expressed its position.
The KEMA on the 23rd published to the media an article titled "Opinion on the Unreasonable Unilateral Breach of TV Drama Contract"
According to this article, for the success of Five Fingers, Eunjung had given up her other schedules, including overseas activities, showing her sincerity to fully participate in the drama production, but the production team of "Five Fingers" on the 21st, requested with no legitimate reason, that Eunjung leave the drama on her own accord, mentioning that if she did not comply with the request, they would put pressure on Eunjung and her agency.
Eunjung's side did not understand this, and requested for a reason for withdrawal, but the production team only referred to the modification clause of the contract stating that the situation was not in the best interests of the drama production.
The KEMA stated "If it is necessary to change the cast during drama production, it should be be discussed with the actor under the premise of mutual understanding and negotiation, but the production team and SBS on the 22nd did not relate any information to Eunjung about her withdrawal, but announced her termination through the media"
It also stated "Through various evidence and proof, this association has verified and is shocked by this oppressive act of the production team."
The KEMA said "This association works to improve the practices of drama production and to develop a healthy industry by eradicating old practices. Therefore, from a few years ago, starting with the problems of unpaid acting fees, this association has worked to improve such unreasonable contracts and practices." "Such efforts can been seen in the 'Drama Production Standard Acting Contract' project developed along with the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism.
KEMA's article concluded by stating "We will advocate for Ham Eunjung's rights to restore her reputation as she has been unreasonably harmed as described above. To ensure that all relevant parties in this incident will not be harmed, we anticipate a reasonable solution from the drama production team."

i'm glad the PD of Hyomin's drama 1000th Man is a man of his word.. Like he said even if 1000th Man sponsorship is zero he didn't kick Hyomin out of the drama just to get more sponsors & money.. i know there were also antis who petition for Hyomin's removal & maybe some sponsors back out too but he still stick to Hyomin & didn't replace her.. He didn't even edit out Jiyeon's cameo appearance in 1000th Man i am glad that even maybe he was also a bit afraid that 1000th Man won't rate at all,, he still stick to the cast & continued the drama with Hyomin as the lead..
I just hope 'Five Fingers' PD is like this too.. not just 1000th Man PD but Heundae Lovers PD too, he stick with Soyeon & didn't replace her no matter what.. Soyeon's role & appearance might have lessen but i don't think it's because of the T-ara issue but because Soyeon got into an accident & need more rest..

Eunjung and all T-ara should be cameo in "SHUT UP NETIZENS"

I am so disappointed with SBS and to think i always thought SBS was way better than MBC & KBS but i guess i am wrong..
Jin Se Yeon is currently really famous in Korea because of Bridal Mask and i get it why they wanted to get her because she may get BM fans after it ended to transfer watching 'Five Fingers' but i wasn't even that impress on her acting in Bridal Mask i actually think Han Chae Ah acting is way better..
Plus Bridal Mask is successful because of it's awesome story and because of JOO WON!!!

Oh well this was just it.. i am so not watching 'Five Fingers' anymore.. i love Changwook & want to support him but after what 5F production did to Eunjung i could no longer support them even if baby Changwook is still in the cast..
How the hell could they be so disrespectful to Eunjung?! The least thing they could have done was be honest to her & tell her DIRECTLY that they were replacing her not make her rehearse her lines then replace her the next morning.. Or better they should have replace her BEFORE the press conference.. Imagine how hurt Eunjung is feeling now.. i even felt betrayed how much more to her??
i know that it's all about MONEY & RATINGS,, so what i'm saying is atleast they should have done this way before the drama started airing & way before the press con & please atleast inform the person you're replacing.. 5F rating for the first 2 episode was really good actually (they were first on their timeslot) so they maybe afraid it'll go down if Eunjung appear..

i've been so angry today and i thought i was finally calming down now but whenever i read the words 'five fingers' i feel like punching a wall or something. i had been waiting for this drama for so long and i was so happy when they decided to keep eunjung as part of the cast.... i was hoping that focusing on the drama will help her forget what happened -well it's not like forgetting is really an option right now but you know, thinking of it less and focusing on something else would have helped.
they even let her go to the press con...and those interviews.... gosh i'm so worried about her right now, i wonder what she's doing. i hope she gets through this and someday she'll finally get what she deserves. she's so talented and beautiful and amazing and even though they found someone to replace her i could never ever think of anyone who could replace ham eunjung in my heart. oh how i miss our bubbly, naughty, happy baekgu

Okay what the hell is happening?! And what is the truth?! I just read an article in Starnews about SBS saying they don't know anything about Eunjung's dismissal from the cast.. If it's true that Eunjung is indeed removed from the cast how came SBS wasn't informed & Eunjung wasn't informed as well.. I know Eunjung won't quit the drama voluntarily because if she indeed wanted to quit she could have done so before the drama started airing & she wouldn't even bother attending the Press Conference & all the interviews.. And she just attended the script reading yesterday do you expect her to quit after that plus she was suppose to start filming today w/ Changwook..
'Five Fingers Production' better clear this out.. The way i see it SBS & Eunjung's camp don't know anything about the possible dismissal instead it was the 5F production that were discussing this.. Maybe it was still on discussion when the news suddenly leak out that's why SBS & Eunjung doesn't know all about this because it was still under discussion & wasn't confirmed..
I just find it so disrespectful on Eunjung's side if they suddenly removed her after asking her to attend all the Script reading, photoshoots, learning piano, learning to cook in a restaurant, prayer meeting,press conference, all the interviews etc. They could have atleast dismissed her early not like this were she was suppose to have her first shooting today already..
i am so disappointed with Five Fingers that even if Changwook is there i won't watch it because of what they did to Eunjung. They get a high rating on the first 2 episode beating 'May Queen' then they suddenly get scared that the rating might drop if Eunjung is still on the production?! That's bullsh*t.. 5F viewers were adults who doesn't even care about T-ara's incident & not some 12 years old netizens who talk crap on the internet.. Anyway like i said before i already love May Queen's pilot more than 5F so i may as well watch that instead of 5F. i am so much disappointed in them, i would have continue watching if it's Eunjung who drop out & not them removing her..
BE STONG EUNJUNG!!! FIGHTING!!

I am so disappointed with SBS and to think i always thought SBS was way better than MBC & KBS but i guess i am wrong..
