Don't blame yourself. I know EXACTLY who is to blame.
I pretty much almost never post here, I prefer just to read, but I had to break my usual rule to tell you this:
For the information of all T-ara fans: Scatter_88mil posts comments under Netizenbuzz under the name Black Plague and if you scout most articles with the tag T-ara on that site and look for his input you'll see him consistently making pro-netizen comments and defending netizens' cyberbullying of T-ara. He did it over such a consistent period over such a length of time since the scandal that he got a reputation with Queen's as a T-ara anti (many of you will recognise the name Black Plague I'm sure) and other T-ara fans such as Jacques Peterson (who runs the site Arcadey and has always been pro T-ara) now just see him as only a concern-troll interested in spreading hate for T-ara and tear him to shreds at every opportunity. Example:

Ouch! The perfect response to the "Hyomin is an iljin" complaints, by the way. Remember it.
Anyway I wouldn't believe any claims from Scatter about being "impartial", and "weighing the two sides", it's well documented which side he's on. Anyone in doubt, do some searching. Scatter, I'm not saying you're NOT a fan somewhere deep down (all antis are), but if you're going to participate in a fan forum, you should try acting like a fan, at least out of politeness and respect for the other members.

I disagree. T-ara is third most popular Korean girl group in Japan. They're still profitable in Japan, unlike many other Korean artists who debuted there. But I wouldn't be surprised if J-Rock decided not to renew the contract (which was a record-breaking 4.3 million when they signed it) due to Hallyu wave dying and T-ara's scandal. When T-ara signed with J-rock they were on the path to becoming the second biggest girl group in Korea (and Asia) after Girls' Generation, but after the scandal they were knocked down to mid-tier.
Still, I think they are profitable in Japan and any agency would be lucky to have them over there. Especially now that their Korean popularity is rising again, and Hyomin was able to headline her own Japanese movie.

It's not there fault. Japan isn't really letting Korean artists promote on TV any more. The only people who can are KARA, TVXQ, and sometimes SNSD, but in general they won't let K-pop artists promote except in hallyu magazines and programs

Thanks so much for your replies everyone! This helped a lot. I hope T-ara promotes more in China soon so they can become one of China's top stars

Wow, I want to go to Korea just for Caffenne!

I've read conflicting reports about how popular T-ara is in China/Taiwan (and neighbouring areas). Some places say T-ara is the most popular Korean girl group in Chinese region, some say that are third most popular after miss A and f(x) (who have Chinese members), and some rankings say they aren't even in the top five most popular.
Does anybody have any idea of their popularity there? If T-ara is big in China then it basically means they are one of Asia's top girl groups (besides SNSD) since we know they are third most popular Korean girl group in Japan, and already know they have many QUEEN's in Vietnam and places like that.

This was the most stunning photoshoot and concept.

Stunning interview. Thank you for translating this, it must have taken a long time

So happy to hear some wisdom and maturity from Eunjung T-ara is truly one of a kind. A group that can't be matched or brought down by negativity and hate, no matter how hard people try to destroy them.
T-ara fighting!

omg im crying tears of joy omg!!!! T-ARA TIME TO SLAY

Love seeing Soyeon and Boram's surgeries up close! They look good.
And omg, Eunjung is stunning. Such a gorgeous face she has. Even with minimal makeup she glows

This is incredible. Who would have thought? Even if nothing comes from this (I don't really see T-ara becoming famous outside of Asia) the publicity this is bringing them back home is really helping them. "Countryside Life" has bounced up the charts ever since this whole Chris Brown thing was announced.
