Ichon Station

Yeah I'd be a little scurred if I was Dani getting ready to take my first steps into...a maelstrom of crap. Dani fighting! You don't have to listen to those folks. You've got plenty of support here.

Strong legal action? While it's harsh, it makes sense because he was about to ruin an company and an entire industry. I'm not saying CCM is in the right on any of this, but people shouldn't be adding to the fire like that, no matter how fervently they disagree with CCM's decisions.

Realistically, the fans that want to will create a new site instantly. Again, there's 2 sides to this. On one hand, it definitely sucks to see their biggest fan community shut down (On their comeback? Really? Perhaps a protest to CCM...). On the other hand, what good is that site doing if it's just serving as a warzone for anti-CCM pro-Hwayoung flames? Arguements for both. Such sadness. To the members....Diadem's not going anywhere, guys.

Better the images get taken down than suffer criticism and descration. It's extremely unfortnate that so many contracts have to be suspended or cancelled over this, but since T-ara has a fanbase that is significant and is a solid group, I'm sure they'll be able to make up for all of this when it's over. For now, it's pretty much a flame war between Pro-Hwayoung's and CCM.

And now the whole company is tripping over itself to cover up the cover ups and patch the EXTREMELY leaky dam that is their public relations department. Chaos, no? Everyone remain calm and take news with a grain of salt. Hell, even what the company says should be carefully scrutinized.

It might be easier this way so that the members themselves (as well as the coordinators and PD's that have to follow them around) won't get direct hits from the public as I know people can do. Now is the time to regroup and figure out what's going to happen next. Everyone stay strong...this has to end eventually.

God this is messy. I feel like the more that they say, the more people are not going to believe them. But at the same time, they can't just sit and do nothing. So it'll cycle like this until everyone's ruined. I'm not the only one wishing none of this happened. It'd be so much easier that way.

I'm unsurprised that CCM would retract their statement, or at least give her an opportunity to return. This feeds into my other comments about what could really be going on. SUre, if the decision is really up to her, she should make it. We just don't know enough for sure to say anything solid about what she should do. As fans, we should just be behind the decisions T-ara makes as a whole.

While the PD's are entitled to their opinion, there are times when it's best not to say anything publicly. At any rate, it doesn't change anything. Keep on your toes....

On a side note, shout out to translators and mods for keeping order and bringing us up-to-date news about this whole thing.

This is ridiculous. To think that the ramifications of a single decision would ripple out to even there...It's not right for Eunjung to receive any heat for this stuff. We got to stay strong and ultimately, whatever happens happens. Queens till the end, everyone...

We can't expect this to get better or any less messy with the announcements and rumors floating around. It really sucks that the group (that is still paid by revenue from CCM) has to take a hit on behalf of any party; it doesn't matter which. Hope the flame war stops.

I hope nothing more drastic happens. They're a good group with a solid fanbase, but I believe there are a few options here. 1) This actually happened. If that's the case, there's nothing we can do. The group can't be affected by a member who doesn't want to do it anymore. It'd be a burden on everyone, really. 2) This is a cover up for something else involving Hwayoung. It's not uncommon nor unbelievable for an agency to make up something drastic like this to distract the public from something else that may be happening. Information that circles the internet can be crazy and inaccurate as we all know. It could well be that Hwayoung had some other reason she wanted to leave the group and the agency handled the request and ensuing arguements extremely poorly. Also not uncommon. 3) The agency decided she was out and she didn't want to be. I also don't find it out of the realm of possibilty for a Korean music agency to not allow a member who either has low ratings or is deemed unfit for the position in the group to continue on contract. If the member decides to try and fight the system, the company may whip up some controversy that places blame on the member, thus forcing her out. Regardless of any number of possiblities, all we can do is speculate and support whomever we want to support. As a side note, props to the members for stepping up to the plate.

Yessssss Eunjung. I like her so much! I'm happy to see that she's beginning to step up to the big time, and I hope this opens the way for more acting opportunities.

I agree. Let's hope the choreography is good. I thought the MV was good and I'm looking forward to seeing them dance again!
