Chris Brown's idea of redeeming himself involves pushing the blame onto others, tatooing the image of Rihanna's beaten up face on his neck and looking down on women in most of his songs. If he had tried, I would not hate him as much as I do but he has not unless he has an album coming or something. Don't call us, the ones who see through all his PR stunts, antis because that would take up a lot of energy. In fact, had he not done what he did with T-ara (the pool party included because it sounded like he took advantage of their ignorance) I would be ignoring his existence. He is not pure evil, I'm not going to damn him since I have no power and yes, I'll continue to judge him because as a human being I think he is scum.
T-ara never bash anyone in their interviews. They pretend KKS is a good fatherly figure even though everyone has evidence to the contrary. They never speak bad about their antis despite how hard the latter tried to mess them up. That's T-ara for you-professional. Don't use that aspect as them forgiving Chris Brown. The decision to work with him has never been in their hands.
I don't know where you looked but more responses were sympathy (the kind no one wants) and racism. This is from the hiphop community who would be their target audience since they are doing hiphop music. Every culture has a preference for it's own and has a hard time accepting outsides especially those who don't prove themselves. T-ara can not learn the language fast enough considering how long it takes use non-natives. Not mention that Chris Brown isn't exactly loved. Look at the odds. This isn't me belittling them. this is me being downright afraid for them.
Of course that isn't an official release. It <i>could</i> get better and I'm hoping for that. Until I hear that song, I'll stick with what I have said. Chris Brown has gotten to the top of the charts way less than before he attacked Rihanna. He isn't a good rapper, period. The fact that he isn't anticipating the song as being good enough for anyone to consider means that he won't be making it as best as he could. I think you misunderstand the man here. He is not a fan of T-ara and he is probably, at the best, using them to get in with the Asian community. If this is fine by you, that's OK I guess but I don't want the girls to get the short end of a stick just because of that guy or any person for that matter.
I have a huge problem with that. Since when did earning money come before the well being of the T-ara? The risks they are taking have a huge effect on not just the girls, but how they are seen in Korea. The positive side of me wants to see that there would be an improvement in their image especially since it seems like Koreans think highly of the Americans. If this fails, it would just another nail being hammered into their coffin.
What T-ara say in an interview, imo, is either from the heart or just a tactful reply as they have been trained. Dani is just a child remember and I hope she doesn't get exploited and overworked. That's my concern for her. And I don't want Ahreum joining T-ara because I feel that going solo is all she ever want and Hwayoung... is an argument for another day.
T-ara haven't given up hope and I love them for that. Just because I am scared about this advancement does not mean I don't want them to do well. In fact I'll buy that album even though I never spend a cent on music. Life can be about anything.
