Yeah, I know it hurts to hear people booing T-ARA because you all, WE all, like(d) them, but you can't really blame those people. NOBODY knows the truth. EVERYONE is just basing their view on what they hear and what THEY think, feel, and WANT to believe. This could be relatable to the whole Chris Brown and Rhianna abuse. Many people's first and continued reactions were like how it is now with T-ARA: "OMG! HOW COULD HE DO THAT!?" And then die-hard, committed fans of Chris Brown thought, like many of you guys, US, toward T-ARA were and are like, "NO!!!! IT WASN'T HIS FAULT!!!! MAYBE SHE DESERVED TO GET HIT!!!!" UM...WHAT? "DESERVED" to get hit? I swear - I can't BELIEVE that people would be DUMB enough to think that she, that ANYONE in what is supposed to be a loving and caring relationship, DESERVED to get abused. That is just the same as how some might be letting it pass that Hwayoung DID get BULLIED by the other members. If not bullied, then left out or behind a lot. Like someone else had mentioned before, I ALWAYS felt uncomfortable watching T-ARA videos, as Hwayoung was ALWAYS SOOOO to herself and to the side a lot. Indeed it has been said that everything was just a big mistake, but since they are idols and are taught to be "nice" in and to the public, we will never know. We can only accept their apology and explanation because that's all we're shown and given; we can only believe that it really all was just a big mistake and continue to support them (if we want to). Unlike the Chris Brown situation, though, I heard that he admitted to beating her, yet...I was going to say that there was no real consequence because his career is still up and going. It didn't even take that long. Girls are still flinging themselves at him, which possibly includes Rhianna herself still if rumors are accurate, even though he is singing about how they "look better with the lights off" and how he wants to sex them in the back of his car, including the fact that he just came back from beating a woman out of anger issues. Is he better? Nobody really knows, and after THAT, why would any woman even WANT to know? He got away because he's cute, T-ARA is being supported by us because we believe in them too much. My point is...WE DON'T KNOW THE TRUTH. We can only HOPE for the better. We're FANS - we will NEVER reach them upclose. In the case of T-ARA and Chris Brown, people wouldn't be angry if a bit of these happenings weren't true, and I'm sure they got out to be this way because some portions of it ARE true (even if they're exaggerated or given in weird scenarios). So, to make it easier, this is what everyone sees: Chris Brown = abused Rhianna; T-ARA = left Hwayoung out. Whether their careers should continue...that's for us to decided. Fans decided that Chris Brown is still worthy of continuing, and as for T-ARA...well, "Sexy Love" is doing well, isn't it? We're choosing to let them be human and to learn from their mistakes because WE are all human. Everyone else who has chosen to oppose them finds it harder to do that because they are idolized stars and have crossed the moral way of behaving, what they believe idols shouldn't and CAN'T do. And don't lie - there's a part of you that feels that way about idols, too, as do I. Let them believe what they want to believe - it IS a hard decision, but that doesn't mean that they should never be forgiven. We ARE human, and we DO make mistakes. Also - I'm pretty sure ALL of us has bullied somone, even a little bit, before. These things just take time because it IS shocking when it happens, especally when stars do it. I'll admit, though - if you guys have ever watched "Eat Your Kimchi's" view on T-ARA's scandal, I was proud of them at the end for saying that they will never support Chris Brown ever again (even though they completely contradicted themselves). =)

You guys are telling them "FIGHTING!", right? Well, this is their way of doing that; to come back with a new single, smashing MV and performances with smiles and OOMPH. As someone said before, smiling KILLS your haters - performing normally and being polite about the situation will probably work. If T-ARA were to wait the situation out, their popularity might go down even more. The only way to go is forward and they are doing that. They were going to have to do that sooner or later anyway, whether it meant staying together or disbanding, and disbanding is still possible.

Just now I saw Areum Lee through that article and noticed something - she similarly looks like Dani! Amd guess what? They both SIMILARLY have that JIYEON look! I mean, we all know Jiyeon is pretty and all, but come on; if she's already the 'face' of T-ara, do we really need more of her face? I'm just wishing that they would have recruited girls who didn't look so similar to each other. One of the things that makes T-ara, I think, is that each of them look different from one another. I'm sure that if they're as talented as they sound, they'll help T-ara loads, but why do they have to have that SAME Jiyeon look? Come on! 0_o

WOW - a FREE concert? I would give ANYTHING to attend that, but you know - I'm not a big fan of their Japanese. I'm guessing this free concert would only be held in Japan...? I would rather them perform in Korean. But, nonetheless, T-ara is T-ara; I hope they sell up to this much "Jewlery Box" records not just for the fans in Japan who receive a free concert as a gift, but for T-ara to take away as a gift, too, since it seems like, from what you guys said, it would be a big surprise to even see it reach 100k. Good luck, T-ara!
