Another freaking BIG announcement! I'm kinda getting tired of hearing something like this from CCM regarding T-ara. Can't they make up their mind for once which direction they are going to head with this group?!
Personally, I would be really happy if they announce that Dani won't join T-ara anymore and not about removal of members, reprimanding the girls and shaming them publicly, again.
Just read the AKP article about the tweets. Antis and bashers are having a feast in there, but since no one really knows what happens off stage and off cam, no one is in any position to pass judgment on the girls.
I feel like us fans have gone through so much also while supporting T-ara. I'm sure we'll also get past this.
Supporting Boram, Qri, Soyeon, Eunjung, Hyomin, Hwayoung and Jiyeon all the way!

sleepystudent So true, CCM's damage control sucks BIG TIME!
SKream I don't have any notion that T-ara will stay as a group after they hit 5 years in the industry, they are only in their 3rd year now but because of the way they are treated by their management, breaking up seems not so far from them. But I will always hope that they will stay and treat each other like family. As for me, if ever this happens, I'll try to still be active in this forum as I am now and continue to support the girls the way I know how.
T-ara fighting! T-ara fans fighting!

Wow I just read the Twitter thing. While I really hope it's just things blown out of proportion, I don't believe in coincidences. Being a self-taught pessimist doesn't help either. KKS would know better than to outright terminate any of the girls, but the idea of splitting up cripples both sides. I really hope it's an announcement of the dude giving them a real 1-2 week break, not for promos or babysitting Gangkiz or w/e, to cool off. T-ara's been crashing and burning for too long.
Yeah simultaneously hacked, with no other tweets before or after being out of the ordinary and the questionable tweets still exist. That's what happened lol. I get mad at friends and family all the time, don't mean I seriously hate them. Hope it's just a vent for the group's overall frustration. Sucks that it's directed toward Hwayoung though...
It's tough being a T-ara fan.

Thanks for the vids! I watched Ep 103 and so happy to see the preview for next episode at the end.
I'm sooooooo excited for this! I'm sure all the 7 idols had lots of fun doing the show. They're all pretty competitive. I see Eunjung's got her chingus there. Siwan, Lee Joon and Nickhun are all born in 1988 as well. I love Eunjung and Nickhun! Talk about body language, they seem to have loads of chemistry there. Or maybe I'm just biased cause I love the 2 of them together.
I love Running Man but I always watch it only after the subs come out.. will definitely watch raw for this on sunday. Can't wait!

Thanks for sharing the article!
For me, Eunjung is an actress through and through. I love that she is continually growing and improving as she walks the path of an actress. I'm not doubtful at all that she will become a great actress in the future.
I'm always excited to see her acting projects and I think it's fair to say that Eunjung and Joo Won in a drama will definitely be interesting.
I think Eunjung is really lucky to also get positive response through music. T-ara is well loved by the people, she has her members who love and support her, and her fans who grew by number when she debuted as a singer. I'm a bit sad though that she hardly gets any decent lines in their songs now because she does have a powerful voice. Oh well, I could always listen to Good Person, TTL and Falling U.
Eunjung fighting!

Been waiting for this! Big big thanks for sharing.
I'm glad they started this off with just 7-ara. It's even more precious seeing them together like because we all know it'll never happen again. (Personally I hope when their contract expires with CCM they would eventually go back to being 7-ara, in another company.) I kept on hearing maknae Jiyeon from the narrator. Sigh. But didn't Boram said in her twitter birthday greetings to Jiyeon that Jiyeon is their maknae forever?! She is so well loved by her unnies.
EunJiMin is and will always be solid. The food that Hyomin prepared looks delicous.
Happy to see Eunjung enjoying a meal with her friend.
And I saw Tiffany and Hyomin clasping hands when they saw each other at the hallway. Hyomin must be well acquainted with SNSD because of Sunny, and most of them are 89ers anyway so they are chingus.
Can't wait to see this with subs, and can't wait to see the next installment tomorrow!

My Japanese isn't the best so if I'm wrong or if there's a better translation, please correct me. Never studied Japanese so I can't read kanji, heh.
When T-ara picked Jiyeon as the worst cook, Soyeon said that because she's still a kid, the taste is a little weird.
Hyomin quickly fired back, "Out of all of them, you (Soyeon) can't cook." * (rough translation)
Soyeon retorted, "it's not that I can't cook, I just don't cook."
Ok, this next line is basically me guessing since I can't read the kanji, but I think I'm right or close. If only they speak Japanese, instead of Korean. OTL
Soyeon also said, "have you even seen me cook?"
Hyomin replied, "You don't even cook/boil ramen!"
Edited: Realized there were more parts to this scene...here's the rest.
MC asks, "(Soyeon) can't cook?"
Soyeon says, "I don't...I just don't cook." Also added, "Hyomin never saw (me cook)!"
Hyomin replied, "No, no way (you can cook)!"
Soyeon coolly says, "I just never cook!" ╮(─▽─)╭
Then Soyeon confidently says, "If I make something, it should taste really good!" (⌒▽⌒)
* I'm guessing she means that even though Jiyeon knows how to cook, the taste is awful...which is why Jiyeon is the worst cook. Whereas Soyeon doesn't even know how to cook.

First question was "who's the scariest member when angry?"
T-ara members picked Qri, hehe.
Then they asked T-ara fans who they think is the scariest member when angry.
Hyomin won. (╥_╥) Since she was picked, she had to do a punishment game, where she had to do a sexy pose.
I would have picked Qri. She seems to bottle up her emotions a lot. Seeing her snap might be a scary thing.
Second question was "who oversleeps/sleeps in the most?"
T-ara members picked Eunjung.
Last question was "who's the worst at cooking?"
T-ara members picked Jiyeon.
I hope they do more shows like this. It's hilarious.

Thanks for the vid! I love the song! Can't wait to see their live performance for this. Not liking the video though. IMO, the best part was Jiyeon being so badass, and the BTS showing their practices for their sword fights.
There would be other MV versions for this song right?!

Yall are tripping. Brave Bros FTW. At least three of those tracks look appealing just by producers alone. Though T-ara has a VERY good track record for having good "filler" tracks that, IMO, can be better than their promoted singles. Cmon son Brave Bros put Sistar on the map. Keep our head up cause we're mighty Sistar!

I wonder if this is just a publicity...
Well, whatever, "T-ara unnies are working hard to learn their choreography recently." i guess the current 7 have to relearn the choreography for their older hits songs to accompany the 2 extras new members, although i don't know how this has anything to do with her refusing the CF. I'm just assume that she's relating this to her practicing instead of accepting the CF

I seriously had a migraine after reading a couple of weeks back that the new T-ara member is 14 year old. Now I'm having a migraine again while typing this.
Just when I'm about to warm up to the idea of the additional member, we get a news like this. This is like an INSULT ADDING TO INJURY. Because CCM wants to run after the position of SNSD, it's like T-ara ended up being AFTER SCHOOL 2.0. What a shame.
This really makes me sad. And heartbroken. And bitter. So bitter that I'll also play into the "let's wait and see game".
But right now, as heartbroken as a fan I am, I know I'll support Boram, Qri, Soyeon, Eunjung, Hyomin, Hwayoung and Jiyeon always.

Ha, I must admit I'm still relatively new to K-Pop...I got into it after I discovered BoA in 2009 and began following T-ara the same year. They're the one group I've really stuck by since discovering K-Pop. One reason I don't say very much is because I feel a certain level of disconnect from other fans due to the age difference, so I generally keep to myself or post at The Prophet Blog since there are several people around my age with my sensibilities that post there as well. As far as what you said about AKF, I agree that a lot of what AKF himself talks about is on-point and hilarious, but it puts me off that I have to wade through all of the fapping jokes, misogynistic comments, and the rank smell of bullsh!t just to find it. Plus some of the new contributors are downright wankers. Lol
As far as what makes me a T-ara fan, I admit that I'm a gay man, so their looks really aren't the reason I enjoy them (although I must admit I've always found them to be one of the prettiest groups in K-Pop; even "ugly" members like Bo Ram and Hwayoung are lovely in my opinion)...I think they put out some of the best pop music in the world right now, while their concepts and style/image is some of the most unique I've seen from a pop act in years. T-ara doesn't xxxx foot around; they go hard and take it all the way. It doesn't work all the time, but I commend them for making the effort and trying out new things. They go out of their comfort zones, and I like that.
My biggest gripe with Dani's addition (besides just feeling strange listening to a prepubescent girl's music) is that I believe she's going to limit T-ara's plasticity when it comes to concepts and sounds. They aren't going to be able to do concepts like sexy or adult without it feeling strange and forced, meaning stuff like "Cry Cry" and IGCBOY won't fit them anymore. Furthermore, I actually just read that she's still 13, meaning she hasn't even turned 14 yet, meaning she still very well could limit T-ara's ability to promote on music shows. The jury's still out on whether or not that's a blessing in disguise, as it could mean that T-ara will just perform without her or they won't perform at all (and I'm guessing it won't be the latter).
Ultimately my position is that T-ara would be a million times better off if they broke ranks and left CCM; hell, JYPE needs a girl group that can move albums, I'm sure they'd be happy to have them. YGE would be a great fit as T-ara could help them diversify their image beyond edgy, hip-hop groups. Just stay away from SME as I have a feeling they'd bury T-ara to prevent them from becoming any more of a threat to SNSD. They seem to do that with their groups. I'd also avoid Pledis since they'd probably encourage the admission/graduation system and stay the HELL away from DSP because of what they did to KARA.

Like I said, I meant no offense, and I appreciate your levelheaded reply, which alone tells me that you've got a better head on your shoulders than 99% of most K-Pop fans. Lol. As far as what I read on AKFG goes, I just have a really low opinion of that site as it seems run primarily by a bunch of young men trying their hardest to divert attention away from their latent homosexual tendencies by making crude and obnoxious comments about women (not anything I read by you, just by the majority of the people I see posting there). So I may have been a bit biased in my assumptions there, lol.
As far as what comprises a "true" fan of T-ara...that was my gaffe. I'm one of those people that believe that being a fan of a group is something that's different for each person, so questioning your dedication as a fan was wrong. I apologize.
It's just so sad to see the fanbase being torn apart like this...it really felt like we were starting to come together as a group after Lovey-Dovey dropped. We had a lot to be proud of, we all seemed to have the same ideals regarding what the girls needed (a break), and now it just seems like no one can agree on anything. It's like KKS is trying to obliterate the group and its existing fanbase from the ground up and start completely from scratch. I had finally come to terms with the member additions before learning that one of them was 14. As a 28 year-old man from the U.S.A. I know that I personally feel strange about listening to music made by a tween. I like T-ara for members like Boram, Qri, and Soyeon, who are a bit older than the average idol and bring a bit of maturity to the group; for some reason I can't shake the feeling that Dani was added to the group for similar reasons to Hwayoung, to lower the group's average age, because I KNOW it can't be to connect with their Anglo fans. Right now they're the ones that have the biggest issue with the addition and will probably be the ones withdrawing their support for the girls first. *Sigh*

Correction, Seohyun debuted at the age of 16. 2NE1 may be an exception but in the case of SNSD, do note that the age gap between the members isn't very wide itself - 6 of the members alone are all 89'ers, Seohyun only 2 years below while Soo Young and Yoona are 90'ers.
If KKS's claims that the new members are 'talented' is correct, this can be seen as a jab towards the current older members to leave on their own will - kicking them out for whatever reason will bring even more negative publicity regardless of the reason. Plus, we don't even know how the current members would react to this behind-the-scenes - considering they worked tooth-and-nail for 3 years to get to where they are now, it's doubtful they'd be easy on some newbie who's practically going to ride their popularity.
Why fix something that's not broken? The only person who needs to be fixed is KKS himself along with whoever in CCM's management agrees with him.
After School actually was actually fairly popular in its earlier days but all things considered, with the whole graduation concept and the influx of new members, they pretty much sank and Pledis Ent. doesn't look like it's doing much of a good job either (debuting multiple groups at a short period of time - arguably can be seen that AS hasn't brought them enough revenue to stay afloat in the long run).
I wouldn't even go as far to compare 2NE1 and T-ara as they're entirely different groups in concept, member line-up etc. You might as well be comparing apples and oranges. Both are fruits, but wholly different in color, taste, shape etc.

I like SNSD too but is it really necessary to say that she's Girls' Generation Yuri look-alike?(is it just me or she don't resembles Yuri?).Publicity much,huh CCM??
Sigh,I was really hoping the 14 year-old addition news was a joke but it seems that my nightmare has come true.T-ara's schedules are really harsh,tight,murderous and there are almost no gap in between.I'm not looking down on her but I doubt she manage to "survive" without collapsing twice or more during her time with the girls.
Like Scatter-88mil said,I too can see the potential of Boram and Qri leaving the group - either by their own will or been forced by that scumbag.IF what KKS claimed that these two girls are really good singers is true (which I doubt),Soyeon might leaves the group too.
I'm starting to worry if T-ara might be a laughing stock from netizens for having a Mother-Daughter years gap a.k.a Auntie Boram and Auntie Qri.
