  1. I've read through it all and decided to ignored most of it. I respect your opinion on the "what-if" situation, but can't say that I agree to them or anything. I don't like to speculate what would have happened "if some other actions was made" etc. because the what if situation never account the possibility that an alternative route within that what-if could have happened.

    I can't even agree on the comeback of SL. It's simply a haste consider there was only 2 months between DBD and SL, even worse 1 month between the scandal and SL. Had CCM handled the scandal better like Scatter_88mil mentioned, the comeback would have been reasonable. At least then there would be a good chance that a portion of the public would no longer misunderstood T-Ara and contributed to the SL comeback. But since that didn't happen, so SL to me is still just a hasty move. But personally I wouldn't even bother talking about this whole what-if anymore. Like T-Ara said, the only thing they can do now is to acknowledge that they made a mistake and will try to work hard to regain the love. And so I also moved on.

  2. Awesome. A lot of improvements over the last time I've tried the beta.

    Bugs & Suggestions:

    Bugs:
    1. Windowed screen didn't work on my Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Not sure what the problem is. Tabbing out of the game while in fullscreen might cause the game to crash.
    2. A small typo in the T-Ara group picture. When you click on Jiyeon, it says "There's a dinosaur in out photo". should be OUR ^^
    3. Not sure if it's intentional, but I've unlocked Jiyeon from the washing machine and the Rilakkuma head came out. The cursor flashed up, but I couldn't pick it up. I assume I have to pick that up, put it together, then give it to Eunjung, then everyone will unite to finish off the cake to help Boram. But yeah couldn't pick up the head.

    Suggestion:
    1. Allow the game to be wide-screen on fullscreen mode.

    2. Allow the cursor to activate the command as long as it's in the general area of the text (ie. Play, Load, Save, Tutorial, etc). Like for every word, it should be bounded by a rectangle and as long as the cursor is clicked within that rectangle, that command will be activate instead of having to click on the text itself. (It's more of a noticeable problem to play when I'm using my not-so-good mousepad instead of a mouse.

    3. Allow right-click on an object to pick it up faster.

    Other:

    1. The Number 9 video stuttered a few times for me. Not sure if it's because my graphics card is weak or not since I'm playing the game on my laptop with the integrated Intel HD 3000.

    That is all I've noticed so far after getting stuck trying out the game :)

    Wish I could have help with the developing process but I got no experience working with flash :)

  3. I think the "true" fan label is quite cliche. We all have our own definition of what a fans is. Slapping the "true" to it just to make sure that we are included in this "true" fans categories when in fact no fan know whats is best for the girls but the girls themselves (and most likely their family). How do I know? Because I was guilty of this, and it's no shame to admits it. Otherwise you will never grow as a person. Anyway, I personally only say now that there are good fans and not-so-good fans out there. There are different factors, purely opinionated, that determines it, but I wouldn't say the good fans are true fans while the not-so-good are not true fans because none of us are true fans.

    P.S: Take everything I said simply as an opinion and don't let my opinion offend you if it's not what you believe.

  4. I've never heard of Crayon Pop.. should probably go check out their video or something :P

    They're getting pretty popular in Korea nowadays it seems. But it's normal if you haven't heard of them since their influence on the international scale is still very lacking (very small international fan forum; and it's hardly active. Also watching their performances on KCON LA 2013 recently said it all. Not much cheering whatsoever). Crayon Pop music style seems to be that of a fun party with catchy beats kind of songs. I wouldn't suggest going to explore Crayon Pop hoping for stuff like "meaningful lyrics" and what not lol.

    @OP: What exactly is baidu anyway? Is there a specific link to an article where this Chrome CEO spoke these words?

  5. Putting skepticism aside, I hope their ventures in the States will be a success. There's no point in saying if it's possible or not when it's clearly uncertain. The music industry is constantly changing, so adaptation is the key. If they learn to adapt they will achieve popularity.

    The only thing that I kept saying about idol groups venturing in the States is hoping that they will not neglect South Korea activities altogether.

  6. Yupp~ The whole album is animated~ i think its really cute and a fresh theme! Can't wait to get my hands on the three upcoming Treasure Boxes!! Have you pre-ordered them yet?

    I did :| But I was hoping that the card itself would have at least a real picture of them lol...I know the animate is cute and all but yeah...I prefer to have a picture of a real person x_x

  7. YesAsia does tend to be pricey a bit and CDJapan doesn't count to any Korean charts unfortunately.

    Currently, I may as well share, as it's YesAsia's 15th Anniversary, they are offering free shipping on all products above $25. Learn more here: http://www.yesasia.com/global/customer-support/0-0-0-hti.1574-en/question-answer.html

    CDJapan is quite popular and many recommend it. I can't personally recommend it as I have never used it but I can at least suggest it based on many positive reviews from others. YesAsia; I've had issues with my orders getting lost (twice) however I can at least say their Support are very helpful and see to reshipping your order asap if there any problem.

    This, is also the reason why I started ordering from yesasia again. Just order 1-2 albums and you're qualify for free-shipping instead of over $39 from before. My friends and I never really had any problem regarding delivery with Yesasia (living in California). The only problem he has was that Yesasia kept denying his card payment.

  8. My 2cents. It doesn't even look like a poll from any major news/media sites. Spamming this random poll will only benefits the creator of the poll. Even if T-Ara won 1st place for this poll, is it going to be recognized anywhere? I highly doubt it. That's just me. You're welcome to keep voting.

  9. LOL ppl chill chill... ok, i made a mistake its Queen's !! i had forgotten about the 's... :lol:

    but i was wondering..how do u guys ans qn like these ? would u say im a queen's ? or a fan of t-ara or something else ?

    Depending on the situation. If a person who has rarely any knowledge of kpop, obviously I would say I'm a fan of T-Ara since they wouldn't know what QUEEN's means if they don't even know T-Ara in the first place.

    Among the people in the kpop fandom world, I refer myself as both. It's not that big of a deal to me personally.

  10. So after the the contro started, what did he lied to us?

    Twitter accounts were hacked

    - Are u kidding me? U think we are kids?

    To me personally this is where it went wrong. We can't say for sure whether KKS lied or not. We simply can't. Unless the hacker claimed to did it (or reportedly did it, can't remember if they found the "suspect") can demonstrate it publicly OR KKS admits to lying, we can't know otherwise. This is also speculation.

    Some, if not most, of the fans agreed that the tweets are so super light and indirect in nature, it won't even be considered bullying, and as they stated in the interview, it was a argument.

    Precisely. An argument sparked by one person making that one person seems to be picked on from a group does not qualify as bullying. There's a legitimate reason for them to be pointing fingers. This is where we can all agree on and drop the bullying topic.

    Now whether it was professional of them to handle the issue in such way, that's an entirely different topic.

    And about the future, I stated it very clear that I predict it, everyone is welcome to spazz about that topic. Like normal :)

    @Ryu: This. I don't know why you keep getting into the same argument over the "future" with Timtam since he already mentioned that it's his prediction. Sure, maybe your reasoning is more sound (based on the history citing), but then again your reasoning also leads to the "future" talk, which ends up being a prediction as well. No need to poke each other unnecessarily over it.

    Here's all that I care about this situation:

    1. I (and the so called QUEEN's should, as well) believe there's no bullying.

    2. Hwayoung may/may not return to T-Ara. It may/may not heal everything/anything.

    3. There's nothing wrong about thinking positively/negatively, the uncertainty about T-Ara's future is there regardless of your belief.

    4. Antis will just continue to be antis. Talking/convincing them is pointless.

    From my #3, you can see that I don't really like to debate over the future topic. You guys are welcome to discuss your points, but hopefully there's a mutual respect between each side of the argument.

    This is really my last post in this topic.

    P.S.: I'm glad your uncertainty about T-Ara's "bullying" cleared up Timtam. Although I don't share the same opinion on this "war" between "us", since I didn't really considered those who abandoned the fandom over such speculation a part of this "us", and so there was no war to me personally. But that's just me. I'm a bit harsh to the wishy-washy fans. Assuming those people are still lurking in the fandom, then I do wish you the best in accomplishing that goal of yours.

  11. Going the SNSD, 2en1 route...korea, why are you so mental about the US.

    Well the US music industry is one of the largest out there, so that's why. Although I don't think it's right for them to try to break in the US music scene either, it also doesn't hurt to try and see the actual outcome for themselves instead of fearing it because of previous attempts from different people in the same related-field.

    If they ended up not getting the success in their US attempt, as long as they keep being active back in their own scenes instead of ignoring their dominant scenes + keep trying to break in the US market, it should be fine.

    On a side note (not toward you migger), the multiple versions of the same song is so typical of CCM...idk if I'll be able to enjoy all of them, but I already have some sort of idea the version with Snoop Dogg lol...
