    Emperor Ryu got a reaction from Sleeping Ham in [13.07.30] Video HD - T-ARA With DAVICHI Feat SKULL "비키니" M/V   
    Who knows if there will another version of the music video, and it's always an option for them to make one showing them in it. I find nothing wrong with them singing the chorus lines majority of the song, and they're singing nonetheless. Group singing together is still good. This just shows they are just plainly enjoying themselves vocally.
    It's a fun, laid back song, as depicted by the girls in the music video. It's not like they were gunning for an award with this song, since it was announced that they won't be promoting this song anyway. It's a summer fun song. Nothing more or less.
    I just can't believe people are trying to take this song so seriously? I mean, granted they are outstanding vocalists and have sweet, beautiful voices, but they can have some fun of their own too. They clearly weren't going to perform this song on the music shows. It's just a summer song to enjoy, like going to the beach to relax.
    If you ask me, T-ara can be heard in the chorus along with Davichi, and I like the song too. It's a very nice song.
    Why so serious? They are beautiful women, right? I like to think they are beautiful women, and I'm sure others agree on this too. I think they would look beautiful wearing bikinis and enjoying themselves at the beach. I don't see any issues about their body parts, when women in general, wear such attires at the beach anyway. Girls, women, want to have fun sometimes. Let them.
    T-ara is known for many things, including their dancing and previous performances, and I'm quite sure there's nothing to be serious about for this song and music video. It's just a fun song to enjoy. Nothing more or less.
    I don't blame Kim Kwang Soo for letting the girls enjoy some vocal fun, even when majority of the song is a chorus. Reminds me of those classic children songs that's nothing but chorus. I would even dare to say this is one way for them relax, since they love to sing.

    This song is good! The beat, Skull's part, I really like his voice (:
    It gave me that beach summer vibe they'd promised, and combined with the MV... now I really wanna go to the beach, even though it's winter here >.<

    Wow it's actually felt so good when some one like your post..hhehe..
    i think it's the same for me too...as a matter of fact i started to become their fan when i watched their DBD MV..and it's was only half a year...
    and it is also after hwayoung is disbanded from the group...and that's not gonna stop me from loving her...
    so, for me it's not a big matter whether they are 5-ara or 6-ara or 7-ara or 8-ara as i'm still loving them the way they all are and in the name of T-ARA itself...
    that's why whatever may happen after this, i'll always support them...

    i remember watching this but never thought anything of it! thanks for bringing it up.. *0*
    i think t-ara is 5 members originally because they announced it that way and released a debut (first) music video. they debuted on stage as 6. i don't think it matters that much though to me at least.. haha i think what you call original t-ara is also depends when you joined the fandom.. i consider 5-ara as original because that's when i first started liking them, but i think some may have the view 6-ara is original because that's when they started promoting themselves and got fans

    Emperor Ryu got a reaction from nagemay in [SPAZZ] It's Over!   
    It doesn't amaze me that antis are using the Las Vegas pool party as an excuse to go after Core Contents Media, when they weren't even the ones who set up the event. Antis are still desperate to go after T-ara, Core Contents Media, and Kim Kwang Soo, simply because they couldn't handle the truth from them. Good thing there were T-ara fans there to support them. And due to Chris Brown's invite to the U.S., T-ara got to meet up with some other artists and producers. They actually gained more from this. T-ara at least starting somewhere in the U.S., which is better than none. Kim Kwang Soo listened to the T-ara fans here in the U.S., which is saying something positive, and hopes he continues on making things better, despite spiteful antis, and vengeful media reporters who uses rumors to pass on as fact, which is so unprofessional and no better than a useless tabloid.

At least Qri got a solo song and a duet with Boram for their Bunny Style! Album, and soon she'll debut in QBS in Japan.
    


    

Good points here. Core Contents Media try their very best with what they got, for their employees. Sure, it's not easy to maintain when someone cuts out the rug from under them here and there from underneath sometimes, or when something unexpectedly happens that pushes them back in their schedules, or having to change somethings here and there because of new opportunities, but they still march on. That's respect all by itself. I've seen my fair share of tough obstacles that artists go through with some behind-the-scenes coverages, and there's really that much work that they all have to accomplish, which isn't an easy task. Some people who are just incapable of handling that amount of workload would say that's way too much, but given that through support and providing a means to accomplish that many responsibilities, they are quite capable in succeeding.


    T-ara members are employees of Core Contents Media and part of the K-Pop genre and South Korean Entertainment Industry, who work with others and help the communities, and sometimes compete in friendly games. Core Contents Media sometimes change their stance and opinions, just like everyone else, from time to time. It doesn't make them liars, even when they explain why the change all of the sudden. Sure, the company, like any other company in the business, have their bouts with the media, there's no surprise there really. The families of the T-ara members, and other artists, work alongside the company, and even go as far as to help out too, like Boram's father in the Roly Poly music video. Family is really the best when it comes to the members, even though there's some rocky moments between them on rare occasions. They still pulled through together, which says a lot on its own again. T-ara is unique in their own right, and are quite capable in working things out, which is a plus in their career outlook.


    That last part is true, people sometimes do believe in everything, or even anything, about them. Sometimes there are mistakes that happen in both reporting and the source material, but that shouldn't even be a reason to hate them needlessly, given that we are all mortal human beings with flaws and at least try to learn and grow from them. Can't live in a society where a simple, innocent mistake warrants an execution of a child. Only sick-minded monsters would draw on that kind of conclusion.


    Antis can't let go of the past, even though such misfortunes were forgiven and apologized for, and have allowed them to risen above them with newer heights of successes in their careers. They still delude themselves into thinking that they're on the inside Walls of Core Contents Media, when for a fact that they are not, or even worse, think that they can be Core Contents Media's public relations managers. I'm willing to assume that most of them couldn't turn a bad situation into a positive comeback situation, due to their inept abilities to do so when the chips are down, while staying firmly in their very own personal Hells. They don't appear to have a clear grasp on reality, nor enough brain power to figure out what's happening to all parties involved in the situations either, judging from their comments on T-ara coverage from the media. They just focus on attacking the members and the company, like belittling them and continue to label them as pitiful, disposable, ingrates, which makes them even more idiotic and that more dumb in their narrow-minded views of the world and life. They even try to spin media stories so out of context, and pass it along as if it were creditable evidence, when it's truthfully not. Someone would truly say, "That has nothing to do with this topic at all." So sad these antis.

    At least some of those antis are intelligent enough to stop being antis, in which they're no longer called antis, once they've learned the ugly truth about the real antis and their unjustified contempt against the members and the company. And those returning to the fandom knows the truth, after that recent interview with T-ara N4, that there wasn't any bullying, and their tweets was about a disagreement amongst them. Only antis would actually think and consider those indirect, harmless tweets was in some kind of form of bullying. Again, so sad these antis who can't handle the truth. There are plenty of members here who saw right through the fabricated nonsense antis were trying to do to bring the members, the company, and the entire fandom down. They all failed, epically.
    
Again, good points there in your posting. Core Contents Media's T-ara will be strong for many years to come for all of us.




    This civil war is will continue on for some time, seeing that some antis aren't able to let go of the past at all. I understand how you feel about this, and we shouldn't lost our hearts and faith in them, because we know the antis are losing badly, and are in their desperate mode as their numbers dwindle even more. Their trying to recruit by spreading lies to everybody about the members, the company, and about Kim Kwang Soo. So stay strong over there. You're not alone.



    In a way, maybe this could be true, even though there's still a strong fanbase, and new fans joining in, who still continue to support the members through thick and thin.



    It's quite understandable for this sentiment, seeing and knowing that South Korea is where it all started and built over the years. But given how things are becoming more global, like the internet, including this form site, there are new bridges being built, like the one between South Korea and the U.S. Surely, and even expected, that there will be some bumpy circumstances along the way, but still yet, that shouldn't mean we should give up though. We just need to work at it more to establish a good flow internationally around the world.



    This is understandable as well, but seeing how it is possible for member reunions to happen later on, and it's not really a requirement to officially announce a disbandment, it is quite possible for T-ara to endure together through the years.

    1. CB has some anger/violence issue and t-ara has a bullying scandal and ppl goes of shooting their mouth a match made in heaven bla bla bla..
    - Haters gonna hate and fans gonna support but I, too, am not happy about this Collaboration to be honest but I will support w/e T-ara is doing or will do at the end of the day and I believe every Queen's share same feeling as mine if not more.
    2. n4 song is awesome and im sure many will agree not just fans but their song/album is not doing well and i personally think its due to the fact that haters/ppl still cant get over the scandal..in the pass t-ara albums/songs all have decent rankings and wins but no more after the scandal....
    -As for this number, the info below may be helpful. If our girls are able to surpass the stated number then yeah, they are still going strong but by any means, if they didnt even reach their previous sales then yeah, we should really worry about them and their future. Its SL's Gaon Chart Ranking for the month of September when the controversy was at its peak but still it did really well while Rural Life hasnt shown anything like that. We still have to wait and see what chart ranking will it have in this month.

    3. black ocean just shows that many ppl are still hating on them due to the scandal..even if its not true about the dream concert black ocean...in the past nothing of this sort will ever surface online..t-ara was well liked by so many but now it has been greatly reduce....

    - Tara was accused of having Black Ocean back in September when they preformed SL at Kpop Nature + Jeju Island Concert but later it was proved to be false. As far as BO is concerned, well, I have seen plenty of videos in YT to be convinced that there wasnt BO. Yeah, almost majority of the fandom didnt support them but few of the fandom supported them so rest assured in this case.
    I'm a big t-ara fan and will stand with them through thick and thin but all these that should not be happening to them is seriously breaking my heart...all these rumours and hateful comments were rarely seen in the past but now they are too common. t-ara was once a top tier group but i doubt so now...
    the main thing i want to say is this..no matter how bad or good t-ara becomes we should forever stand by them and support them.. only this will then allow t-ara to break free of whats happening now and regain their throne that they were once sitting on. every idol has its good and bad times and every idol has scandals..
    We have to support them no matter what

    - :Lots of Queen's defended them through out the scandal while some new joined the forum here in TD, who knows how many worldwide. Queen's are gonna support them no matter what and that's the very reason why all of us are here together and have been through all those ups and downs. Good times pass away but the good thing about Bad times is they, too, pass away. Though T-ara wont remain forever nor they can be idol for life time or they can promote as a group as life-time but they will always remain as T-ara in the hearts of all fans and those feelings for them are ones that wont fade away with time.

    @FreakyFlyBri:
    I was going to post something, then I realized you pretty much made my points already. Spot on post, especially the part about no one in the US caring about the scandal lmao
    edit:
    For anyone curious, the physical mini-album on Hanteo debuted at number 2 with about 3500 sold, then rose to number 1 the next day. Apparently, the Gaon numbers are always bigger (total physical album sales for May should be revealed early next month).
    So even if it sells half of Mirage and ends up with about 20k in physical sales, that's not a bomb. It's less than what they used to achieve, but I feel everyone and their dog figured this would happen, even if they hoped otherwise.
    So that, coupled with their recent TV appearances (which all finished without any significant backlash), upcoming TV gigs, and even Boram in a new CF, even if it's all tiny compared to what they used to have, it's pretty much a certainty that CCM won't view this comeback as a failure, regardless of the opinions of fans and antis.

    Wiz Khalifa is indeed one of the newest additions to the game in the U.S., and he's doing his very best in what he likes to do, and I'm certain that he'll give that respect and honor to the girls when they work together, and won't offend, nor impose anything the girls won't do. I respect this man, who has a son already, and when he started hitting the charts high back in 2010, and won the BET Awards in 2011, and then the Billboard Music Awards in 2012, both for Best New Artist, I expect a good collaboration between him and T-ara N4.

    Emperor Ryu reacted to xbot in [13.05.23] T-ara to return to Budokan arena and perform 11 concerts throughout in Japan   
    Sorry but I actually don't agree with this sentiment..
    First of all I actually support KKS' strategy of keeping them busy with work despite the scandal. You got to understand that T-ara members actually love to perform and be active. Being a entertainers is their profession and long time dream. Keeping them in self imposed exile in their own houses doing nothing will only be harder on their mental states. Most of them are in their 20s & not having a work related thing to do everyday is hell for people in working age who have drive & ambition.
    Personally I think what killed them in the past is not because they had continued comebacks every several months, but because in each comebacks they had too much schedules per day (dramas, variety shows, live TV performances + rehearsals, and non-TV live events). Back then a news site compared that while even top groups like 2PM & SNSD had 2-3 or 6 at tops events per day, T-ara could have 12-13 events! That superhuman scheduling will kill you no matter how much you love your job. However, just preparing & promoting songs with Eunjeung doing the occasional MC work is actually easy-peasy compared to what they used to do.
    Second, the work actually shielded & sometimes energizes them after all the beating they get. When they made the Sexy Love MV, they were shielded from the impact of the height of the scandal. When Sexy Love came out, it showed them that people actually still chanted for them & bought their songs. If you followed the Mainichi T-ara, you can see that the Bunny Style promotions which should've been a grueling multi-city tour was actually enjoyed by the girls like a refreshing vacation, with just a few a couple of hours of work on the side. And the trip to LA? You can see how excited they were with it & how amazing they performed at Music Core during the same day they arrived back in Korea, jet lag and all.
    Third, their careers? If T-ara stopped performing for a year they will become just another group that was broken by a scandal & I bet CCM will shelved them or even break the group apart. And now look what happened to their careers after the scandal with T-ara toughing it out & facing the haters head on:
    Sexy Love got top 5 in both GAON & Oricon. It placed #46 of Billboard Korea's 2012 Top 100 Song of the Year despite only being released on September AFTER the scandal (just a comparison: Miss A's I don't Need a Man was #49). Bunny Style: Members were given a chance to sing solo and in groups (This is a BIG jump for their careers especially for Ahreum, Boram & Qri). It got #2 on Oricon, would've been #1 if it just didn't came out at the same time with the debut of AKB48's sister group HKT48. Eunjeung got back in TV as MC for Show Champion. From Vitamain to Dream Team to Gag Concert etc.. the girls are once again in mainstream TV outside of Mnet. N4 released a song so AWESOME it was heard round the world to the US! QBS is preparing for their debut with Boram & Qri FINALLY getting more of a push in the group. Yes 4Minute sold more songs than N4 but hey it still got into top 20 & Jeon Won Diary was more of a statement & rally call for their fans than just for "making money" (even CCM realized this & only made 40,000 copies of the physical CDs). Seriously without the scandal T-ara will always be the group that we love but they will always be considered Tier 2 after SNSD and 2NE1 for various reasons.. after the scandal for me T-ara became the group who are, borrowing from Popdust, actually "flipping the K-Pop script on its head." This is a historic milestone! In the past a group had to stop activities after a scandal no matter how much their ACTUAL fans still wanted them to continue on...
    Keeping busy just after a scandal, selling top 20 songs, going on with different sub-units, performing in various countries, working with another "scandalized" artist in the US may seem unnatural for the average Korean band... but this is T-ara, and that is why I respect & love them even more.. and hope for more activities this year (just don't stack it all up in a single time period like in the past, CCM)

    Hey there once again, Queens. In case some of you didn't know until now, just yesterday, T-ara N4 officially announced that they're entering the American music market in a press conference in Los Angeles, CA. They're now signed to Empire Records and they are set to kick off their American activities this Saturday by holding a opening performance at Chris Brown's concert in Las Vegas, NV. And if that wasn't enough, T-ara N4 will release a remake of their debut hit, "Jeon Won Diary" and the five versions of the remake will feature raps by artists including Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, T-Pain and of course, Chris Brown.
    So today, i'm asking all of you Queens out there, especially all of you in the United States, to send out messages to all of the T-ara N4 members, congratulating on their American advancement and wishing them the best of luck. Let's all gather love and support as T-ara N4 is about to take on the American music market. Let's show T-ara N4 our endless support for the girls and give them a extremely warm welcome back to the United States. We're gonna let the quartet know that we warmly love and also support their big US debut

    Emperor Ryu got a reaction from Trancis in [13.05.20] T-ara N4 Announces Plans to Enter the US Market   
    I already know and understand that in everything there is a chance for things to go wrong, but that doesn't mean it should be something to aspire towards all the time. Reality encompasses a great many aspects in life, definitely including the vast, infinite positives. Please allow me to present some measures that can, or at least try to, ease such burdensome concerns, . . .
    1. Language - They are currently improving on it. Sure, we know how much they've tried before in the past, but still yet, that was back then, and they are taking some time to improve their current language skills right now. And yes, it all depends on how well they acquire and learn from the new lessons, and their abilities to use it well. Plus, they have Dani. Sure, she hasn't officially debuted, but she is an employee of Core Contents Media, and that at least still helps the rest of the members for having her right there. We're very thankful for Dani for making this even possible, and I hope, and others as well, that they will improve their English to communicate and understand well with their fans here, in the U.S.
    2. Chris Brown and Other Artists - Here, in the U.S., it is sometimes possible for artists to correct and redeem himself/herself by first apologizing and taking responsibility for the actions that were taken, as well as learning from them. And then do many tasks that has positive results and feedback. Chris Brown apologized, then pleaded guilty in a court of law. He didn't try to hide his mistakes. He didn't deny the wrongs he committed. He became a better man by accepting his very own actions and accepted the consequences given by the judge. It is true, he will be attending another court hearing about whether or not he successfully completed his community service portion of his sentencing, but that shouldn't negate the better side of himself for doing what he can to redeem himself. With such noted goodness on his part, his comeback yielded enough good responses from all over the world. Sure, not number 1 all around great, but good enough to at least give him a chance to keep a career he enjoys doing in his life. Yes, we all know about him getting officially dumped by Rihanna again for cheating on her with another woman, but still, at least they broke up understanding one another, and moving on without having to resort to any violence, which is a testament to his court ordered completion on domestic violence courses. And let's be clear though, Chris Brown is not one of my favorite artists, but I do respect the man, and hope he is able to improve himself in his life. He makes some good music, that should be enough to move on for better things ahead for everybody. Same goes for Snoop Lion.
    3. Previous K-Pop Artists in the U.S. - Since the early 2000s, K-Pop artists struggled very, very hard to get into the U.S., until ground was broken in 2008 with BoA releasing a full length English Album and collaborating with U.S. artists. None of the previous artists couldn't do that before. Thus, making her a success, even though the outcome did not meet goals and expectations from the higher ups. She didn't give up on her fans here in the U.S., that's for sure. Wonder Girls had a cross country tour with a popular U.S. boy group. They most definitely did not give up on their fans either, and came back with more music, and even got to be in an episode length movie, that was aired in the U.S. Again, none other K-Pop artists accomplished that much in the U.S. Girls' Generation got on popular U.S. talk shows, like oh my goodness, nobody didn't expect that to happen. Yet again, none of the previous artists achieved this much. 2NE1 won an MTV international competition. That alone speaks volumes of success. Even though the expectations were running quite high, that doesn't mean it's a failure, not by a long shot. Currently, we're trying to guess what T-ara's outcome will be without having T-ara performing yet. Doesn't that sound weird? Sure, success can be a gradual means, by building and building the fan base. There's nothing wrong with that. It is best to wait and see, and at the most, support and stay positive, and maybe even help out a bit so they can be more successful. Just like the staff members here on Diadem. ( Much love Diadem! )
    4. QBS - I like Qri, Boram, and Soyeon too. Their talented and wonderful members of the group as well. Yes, they will be debuting their sub-unit in Japan, but that doesn't mean they can't join the rest of the members in the U.S. afterward. Let's see how well they do in Japan. And don't forget, T-ara as a whole group will be making a comeback together later on too. Who knows if T-ara will include U.S. promotions as well and include more collaborations from other artists for that album. Schedules could change in the future too, after all they had to rearrange their previous schedule to accommodate Chris Brown's invitation. So there shouldn't be that much worries. It's a work in progress.
    Best to be patient now, and then see their teasers and full releases later on, so we can be more accurate in our own expressions.

    I don't think it's rushed, more like rearranging their schedules. I don't believe they were expecting love calls from the U.S. producers and artists not long after T-ara N4's debut. Sometimes this can happen in the business and entertainment worlds.
    Beside the whole "Blaming Kim Kwang Soo Thingy", I think he's doing the best he can right now. Opportunity knocking on the company doors from the U.S., he's wise enough to talk things out to see if working with them is possible, thanks to Dani. And so far, the news lately are quite positive, as antis continue to desperately try to bring the fandom down and their sad lame attempts to attack Core Contents Media and T-ara.
    Yes, I hope their collaboration becomes a success too.
    That's understandable, but please consider it this way, Chris Brown will be one the few in the U.S. who will be able to truthfully witness and testify how capable they are, and recommend T-ara to other U.S. artists and producers, because he has worked with them. Plus, there are other potential artists, like T.I., who could be next after, or same with Chris Brown, to collaborate with T-ara as well. Please remember, this is like building workable creditability in the U.S. by having artists and producers to say T-ara is great to work with and make good and/or great music together. But we shall see how it comes together.
    Yes, that is possible, however, if things are shaping up to be truthfully to what is being reported, it seems more unlikely that this is hype. Language shouldn't be that much of a problem, and Dani is learning and doing well so far.
    Well, it is their first time making such a trip to the U.S.
    I agree, it will be interesting. It will be very wise to wait and see what will happen, and continue to support them.

    A huge THANK YOU to Diadem and fans in California for helping out T-ara in the U.S.!
    I don't think it's rushed, more like rearranging their schedules. I don't believe they were expecting love calls from the U.S. producers and artists not long after T-ara N4's debut. Sometimes this can happen in the business and entertainment worlds.
    Beside the whole "Blaming Kim Kwang Soo Thingy", I think he's doing the best he can right now. Opportunity knocking on the company doors from the U.S., he's wise enough to talk things out to see if working with them is possible, thanks to Dani. And so far, the news lately are quite positive, as antis continue to desperately try to bring the fandom down and their sad lame attempts to attack Core Contents Media and T-ara.
    Yes, I hope their collaboration becomes a success too.
    That's understandable, but please consider it this way, Chris Brown will be one the few in the U.S. who will be able to truthfully witness and testify how capable they are, and recommend T-ara to other U.S. artists and producers, because he has worked with them. Plus, there are other potential artists, like T.I., who could be next after, or same with Chris Brown, to collaborate with T-ara as well. Please remember, this is like building workable creditability in the U.S. by having artists and producers to say T-ara is great to work with and make good and/or great music together. But we shall see how it comes together.

    I can't wait for the official press conference for more details. And yes, they are most definitely welcome to comeback to the U.S.
    As for working with Chris Brown, let's see how well they can make music together. Let us all hope it will come together very good.
    I just love that last part in the article.

    you are right, absolutely right.. we dont know yet if this move gonna turn out bad or good or if this gonna really help t-ara in the future.. the problem is some of the Queens already think in a negative way.. you should know better coz negative thinking can really attract negative effects.. even if Chris brown had done scandalous acts in the past that doesnt mean that he cant change as time goes by.. there are a lot of singers or artist have been in more worst scandals than him and yet they still stand tall against his/her wrongful doings in their past.. as long as they learn from those mistakes and make a better image in the future.. Queens chill, relax and just wait wat will happen, everything happens for a reason, it might be a reason to learn or improve himself and a reason to make us be more stronger than ever..

    Scatter, mate no offense to you at all but your post is so random and all over the place. Who said that if Big 3 couldnt make it then none other company stands a chance?? Given that, Big 3 has more chances of being successful than other agencies but still doesnt legit your statement that other agencies will fall-flat if they arent big 3, themselves.

    First of all, SNSD has had a full-length English album in the works for a couple of years now. There's no telling when or if that album will ever be released, and even if they do release albums in the same year, it's an entirely different ball game in the states...you said so yourself. SNSD and T-ara will more or less be on the same playing field. And I don't care that two SNSD members speak English fluently, it's not going to really help them all THAT much.
    Secondly, making it in the American music industry is all about who you know and how much faith your contacts have in you...nobody gives a damn how big somebody was back in their home country, it won't do them any good when they're trying to promote in the states. That has absolutely no bearing whatsoever when it comes to making it stateside; YG, JYPE, or SME make chump change compared to what labels such as Island Def Jam, Interscope, Epic Records, or RCA can take home. They can't help their artists when trying to make a U.S. advancement. Very few artists make it on pure talent or charisma alone, they have somebody behind them, pulling strings and opening doors for them. As much as I loathe Chris Brown, it is absolutely undeniable that he is the biggest star to have possibly voiced his interest in a K-Pop act thus far...far more relevant than will.i.am, Snoop Dogg, Akon, or any of the other current stars who have mentioned a Korean idol act (if CCM's stories are to be believed).
    As far as what Chris Brown did...I admit that I loathe him with a passion, but I'm also discerning enough to know that PLENTY of U.S. artists have collaborated with him recently and been none the worse for it...Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, the list goes on. The U.S. music industry isn't really like Korea in that if you're seen with an unlikeable figure you're automatically blacklisted due to guilt by association; business is, ultimately, business. Furthermore, nobody in the U.S. is going to give two flying ***** about T-ara's bullying scandal. That ridiculous excuse for a hater orgy never would have exploded the way it did, I can guarantee you that. That's what's so bass-ackwards about Korea...they focus on a scandal full of unsubstantiated allegations, yet when it comes to something that probably would be incredibly sensationalized by U.S. media outlets, such as Nichkuhn's drunk driving accident, it almost goes by completely unnoticed...for a bullying controversy? I mean, come on. That xxxx would have been pegged exactly like it was...discord within the group. Nothing more, nothing less.
    Ultimately, at this point I don't think T-ara have anything to lose by focusing on activities outside of Korea. JWD's poor performance on the Korean charts show that Korea's just not ready to forgive them right now, if ever. I doubt this collaboration will interfere much with their Japanese activities, as so far nothing has even been confirmed. Instead of focusing on a plethora of possible negatives, let's just see how it plays out. Ultimately this could just be more media play on CCM's part, but it's REALLY important to take into consideration the fact that, if something does indeed happen for the group in the U.S., it's not even remotely similar to anything in Korea.

    Chris Brown was arrested on March 5, 2009, which is much longer than T-ara's incident last year, so there's a difference beside the level of severity and consequences that was taken between both parties here. I do not believe you're correct about Kim Kwang Soo only keeping Hyomin, Eunjung, Jiyeon, because Areum is right there with them as a sub-unit, and Jiyeon informing everybody about the Soyeon-Boram-Qri sub-unit later on.
    I was told that Girls' Generation will be releasing an English Album this year. 2NE1 is rumored to release one as well, including the Wonder Girls, although that seems like it'll happen next year for them. I remember reading about Rania making a push into the U.S. sometime this month and rumors about talks with signing with a label company. Not sure which one, but I do recall someone mentioning one of Chris Brown's labels. I'm not going to jump to conclusions about any of their works, because I haven't heard and/or seen any of the works to make an accurate assessment. In fact, none of us can make such conclusions until we've seen officially released promotional materials for them. Best to wait for their releases and watch the results unfold. Psy is helping to pave K-Pop a way more accessible into the U.S. market, thanks to previous K-Pop artists before in their attempts to get in as well, even though it didn't yield as much, but in the larger picture, it is progressing better than before.
    We're not sure how good their level of English is right now, but Dani is from the U.S., and if I can recall, Tiffany from Girls' Generation did most of the interviews while in our nation.
    Again, K-Pop since the late 1990s has vastly improved presently. Even though the measure of success is not on par with the local prominent U.S. artists, that doesn't mean that they're failures, because without such attempts, Psy, Girls' Generation, Wonder Girls, and 2NE1 won't have gotten that much opportunities to perform here. Given how other K-Pop artists are getting into the U.S., like f(x), Rania, and Sistar, K-Pop has been working progressively over the years, because there are fans here. There are way more K-Pop artists getting into the U.S. since the early 2000s, and that alone speaks just how much the genre has improved and still improving.
    Please remember that T-ara incident is actually the biggest farce by antis ever in K-Pop history.

    His fourth album did top the Billboard 200 upon its release and sold around 270,000 copies during its first week, in early 2011. His "Yeah 3x" single did well too, even internationally, which was rather surprising, but did signify that we've moved on from his wrongful ordeal with Rihanna, even though this incident is already permanent on his life record. Given the positive feedbacks that was received on his comeback, I still believe there's redemption for him to achieve, but still open for debate because of the potential backlash for an alleged accusation that he violated his court sentencing term, and his second break up Rihanna by classically cheating on her with another woman recently. I'll give Chris Brown the benefit to improve himself. As for T-ara working with him, I still do believe it'll be more in favor of T-ara. But, we'll just have to wait and see, because it's still in the negotiation phase and nothing has been finalized on this collaboration.

    Well, he did complete his domestic violence courses and was psychologically approved to deal with his own anger management by court order, so I won't overly exaggerate, but will be cautious to be safe when working with him and keep things professional as singers and co-workers, that is, should they complete their negotiations and decide on working together, and have him assist T-ara debuting in the U.S. Please keep in mind, we still don't know when T-ara's U.S. debut will happen. It could next year, or the year after, and there's lots of things that could change during that amount of time.

    I don't believe any of those options are viable given the circumstances Chris Brown is currently facing from both the court and the public. He knows if he screws up this opportunity, an international one, he'll be struggling much worse than before in terms of his career and public image. He won't be able to make the level of comeback like his fourth album, should he screw up this one with T-ara.
    When his fourth album was released back in 2011, to much of everybody's surprise here in the U.S., international communities sprang forth in support of his single. European countries more notably. But his single with Justin Bieber, "Next To You" peaked at 95 on the GAON Chart, and his "Strip" song reached 43 later on during that year. Suffice to say, South Korea is aware of Chris Brown. As for the reactions here, everybody is reliving the events that happened back in 2009, despite efforts to remind others what has changed since then and what's happening right now. There's a possibility that it could work out for T-ara more than Chris Brown, should this become officially agreed that both him and T-ara will be working together in the U.S., which would be T-ara's debut in our country. We'll just have to wait and see what happens next.

    All of us are not sure just how successful this possible T-ara and Chris Brown collaboration is going to be, given the positive results from their comebacks. Image wise, and reputation, aside, it is possible to create a workable collaborative music together. Everybody in the entertainment industry faces that possibility of falling short in their works. The K-Pop industry are actually making more better progression into the U.S. market gradually, seeing how successful BoA, Wonder Girls, 2NE1, Girls' Generation were able to perform way more than previous K-Pop artists.

    When searching Chris Brown's earlier days it wasn't this bad, at least he's striving to redeem himself now than never, which is a good thing. As for T-ara, some of the antis still can't handle the truth from the members themselves, which still makes them rather pathetic. Some of other antis have changed for the better, which is good.

    They are still in the negotiating phase in light of these media reports on it. Nothing is finalized yet. I don't think it would tarnish T-ara's image, considering Chris Brown has his own to worry about. Since lots people don't believe in the antis against T-ara, and some antis becoming fans again, thanks to N4, T-ara is in a much better position to gain from this.

    Lots of things that could happen in the future for everybody, but considering the positive feedbacks for both T-ara N4's and Chris Brown's comebacks there might be a possible workable collaboration that could be beneficial for T-ara. In the actual scope of the K-Pop genre in the U.S., it has been gradually getting better and better, seeing how successful Psy has become recently. Other K-Pop artists before Girls' Generation, Wonder Girls, and 2NE1 helped open the possibilities for the genre's future prospects to become even more co-existent in the U.S. than previously. T-ara does study other languages, including English, because there are significant amount of U.S. fans of K-Pop artists.
    Chris Rock? That would be quite an surprising and interesting collaboration right here.

    Considering that T-ara has improved their image and reputation recently since N4's interview, and antis still running amok with their insanity, while their numbers are decreasing and T-ara support increased, and still increasing, T-ara is in a far better position than Chris Brown, who has a criminal record. Everybody knows that the bullying scandal was a sham and fabricated by antis. Compare that to the irrefutable proof of Rihanna's 911 call and facial injury photos, and his plead of guilty in a court of law, there's a huge, and quite massive difference between our T-ara and Chris Brown. There's no mistake about that. Common sense right now is that they are discussing the possibilities of working together. Nothing is finalized on this. But it does signify that T-ara does have possibilities to work with other artists and promote here in the U.S., which is very good to hear.
    Common sense will always remind all of us that human dignity of forgiveness and redemption will prevail so long as the person(s) actions, beliefs, and understanding is unwavering in the face of such life challenges ahead of them. Please remember, humans have the ability to learn from their own mistakes, and by encouraging this, will aide a better possibility for our future. Kim Kwang Soo knows what he's doing by talking things out with Chris Brown first, before making a decision on this. T-ara probably has a mutual respect and understanding on how well Chris Brown is trying to improve himself, and learning from his mistakes, which could help them out. There's also that possibility that Chris Brown could help T-ara in working with other artists too, like Rihanna. We all just have to wait and see what will happen next.
    If this collaboration does happen, I believe it'll work more in favor of T-ara and possibly improve a little bit on Chris Brown.
    Please note that Psychology and Physics are 2 different fields of study. If both were one in the same field and were true, there will be way more wars throughout our history and justify any unwarranted hatred as a just cause to murder someone, even if that person was simply ugly or made an idiotic comment.

    Emperor Ryu got a reaction from tah-ryin in [SPAZZ] T-ara will still stand strong for many years to come   
    The potential collaboration with Chris Brown is still in the negotiation stages, and nothing has been officially confirmed if this will happen or not. It looks promising and very beneficial for T-ara should it happen, but there are other possibilities to look forward to as well, so there is always hope for T-ara to debut in the U.S. T-ara is still doing well on M! Countdown Chart for the week of May 5th, at the 4th spot. There's still a good chance to reach the top as long as support continues to grow. The Dream Concert was very good for them, after watching a few fancam video uploads of their performance.

    Antis are in their desperate mode now, seeing their ranks crumble, forcing themselves to making-up hopeless and idiotic scenarios to justify their ways of twisted, illogical thinking in order to somewhat remain relevant. Because they are unable to cope with the sheer support T-ara has and continue to gain. T-ara N4's debut song is a testament to the antis failure to bring down the fandom, Core Contents Media, and T-ara themselves. Antis lost and are still on the run, and T-ara shall endure for a good many more years to come, which I very much agree with.
