    Kuraudo reacted to Scatter_88mil in [12.10.24] T-ara reveal their lunchboxes, Jiyeon "fruit diet" vs. Hyomin "meat diet"   
    "Their agency said, "T-ara eats and diets according to their varying types of bodies. They don't go on extreme diets, but they all choose to diet specific ways. Often times they get tempted to eat from each others lunchboxes."
    Yea, that's rich. So why did Soyeon recently say in "T-ara: Confession" that the girls were starved by an extreme diet so badly during the BPBP promotions that they even grabbed leftovers after performances and ate them at the toilets to avoid getting caught?
    Even Hyomin has confessed about being poorly fed on TV before, where Hyuna joked to her that Hyomin should move over to Cube because the latter feeds its idols decently.
    And if they're chosen to diet specific ways, then why does Boram look like she's been released from a labor camp?
    CCM, if you're gonna lie, at least make it believable or don't say anything at all.

    Kuraudo reacted to Scatter_88mil in [12.08.05] True or not, the public will only believe what they want about T-ara's bullying situation   
    I think both sides are really taking their own beliefs a bit far too the extreme here - and from this, I mean the fans vs antis/netizens.
    I've already seen fans here getting far too comfy with the debunking of the gifs and photos used by antis and netizens to defame T-ara, even as going as far to outright claim no form of bullying ever occurred - problem is, that a lot of that stuff is from stuff filmed in front of the camera - idols are expected to act fake in front of the camera and 90% of the time, you can't really believe everything what they say and do reveals their true selves. The 'evidence' used to debunk the stuff from the antis and netizens merely counters what the latter had used - it's as simple as that. It doesn't fully erase the strong possibility bullying and conflict occurred within the group behind the scenes. Not even a bit, for me anyways.
    As for the antis and netizens along with the media, they're aiming and firing their weapons at the wrong people. If anything, rather than going lengths to bash T-ara, they ought to be going up against CCM and KKS instead, who are the real nutcases responsible for everything - even as early as 2010. Demanding T-ara to speak out is more or less not going to work for the time being and even so, they won't believe a word because the chances are that the girls would say scripted crap from You-Know-Who. Not from their own minds and hearts.
    This is why I believe more communication between Int'l fans and K-fans needs to be a big priority and from that point on, possibly even with T-Jinyo. Both sides have a common enemy here - and that's KKS himself. Hasn't anyone thought that by now, KKS has simply gone way too far with his antics? It's a whole new level of low.
    As much as I feel uneasy with having to deal with antis and netizens as a whole, I think it's worth a shot that talking out with them should be put into consideration here.
    This isn't the time for getting in a war against them because KKS FEEDS from that kind of crap.

    Kuraudo reacted to Scatter_88mil in [12.08.04] Backlash after T-ara appears on "Sebakwi", "We demand an apology"   
    While the bashing for pre-recording is quite unwarranted for, I think people here are getting a bit too comfortable with the possibility Hwayoung WASN'T bullied for sure and are defending them a bit too blindly.
    People, sh!t happens behind the scenes and while the 'evidence' that netizens and antis had gained has been debunked/countered for the most part, we can't really/actually fully deny the possibility some type of bullying may have occurred. I could easily say the evidence gained by fans that absolutely no form of bullying occurring is just as flimsy and circumstantial as much like what the netizens and antis had used - they're from variety shows - stuff in FRONT of the CAMERA. And idols are expected to act like fakes in front of the camera.
    This isn't the land of unicorns, fairies and the like. Kpop is a bloody cutthroat industry here and looking at CCM's past record, group conflict has been around for sure - SeeYa and 5dolls in particular. What makes T-ara such a special exception to this? Think about it. T-ara ain't saintly angels themselves either and honestly, people are back to treating them to such. That's why fanwars and conflict between fans and antis exist, ungratefully so.
    For those laughing down on T-Jinyo's efforts at current, stay off the high horse. While their recent activities/actions are laughable, keep in mind that the organization's only been around for a week or so. There's still a lot of uncertainty on what kind of stuff they can pull off. After all, Tajinyo's antics all lasted over a period of several MONTHs. Stay steady and observant, people. T-Jinyo is far from over.

    Things are growing worse by every passing hour.
    CCM making crap up, drama roles being called for boycott, the police making their statement and now this.
    I don't even know what to say. This looks like something out of a movie or a drama - only that it's really happening for sure.

    Kuraudo reacted to That Guy in [12.07.30] Kim Kwangsoo, "There is a possibility for Hwayoung to re-join.."   
    If HwaYoung comes back to T-ara, then netizens will speculate that this incident was all the publicity stunt and the bullying, and mistreatment was all fake. They'll then start hating on HwaYoung too.

    Kuraudo reacted to Scatter_88mil in [12.03.15] T-ara to become 7~9 members, including replacing members   
    You make a very good point that it's possibly a fear tactic to keep the members 100% compliant to his own ass.
    But even then, having done constant work for 3 years with no break till recently, I doubt T-ara's going to stay compliant for long. As said by G-Dragon of Big Bang, idols get the tendency to rebel against their agencies at their third year since debut - Big Bang did almost exactly that when they planned on running away from YG - result? YG eventually heard about this and as compensation, gave them a 2-month break. T-ara's members since last year have suffered from a series of injuries, fainting and looking like zombies on screen (simply, dead tired). Regardless, KKS's further tightening group is bound to make the girls more discontent and rebellious.
    However, I doubt other agencies would make second thoughts about taking T-ara in if they leave CCM - unless the CEOs of the other agencies are no better or even worse than KKS himself (and frankly, KKS is probably subject to a lot of jokes by the Big Three). Personally, the guy sometimes even makes SM look like saints.
    One of Korea's oldest groups, Shinhwa also managed to transfer agencies quite safe and sound with no loss of members and even name, even though it was SM that was its opposition at the court. If SM can't win lawsuits filed by its own idols, neither will CCM. Kara's DSP also took a major blow when three of the members filed a lawsuit against it - and it took close to a full year for the whole issue to be settled and resolved. SM with DBSK also lost its reputation very much, not to mention the court sided with JYJ - hell, SM's excuses and claims on the reasons why JYJ filed a lawsuit against them were downright laughable.
    The last thing agencies would want is their own idols rebelling and filing a lawsuit against them - because chances are they're very likely to lose. There's a reason why YG gave Big Bang a 2 month break rather than using intimidation and threats as KKS is seemingly using currently. What KKS is doing is hardly any different to what mafia bosses do, minus using physical violence.
    Needless to say, the clock is already ticking and things are likely to get real ugly later this year. With the second album and solo concert scheduled for summer, the timing is also very critical.
