Regius Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Some people do. But unless we could petition for a name change, then that i how things are. Or, you could just say you're a 'fan' or 'supporter', though I'm against the tag of "fan", due to its connotation. Personally, being labeled as belonging to a fandom is awkward, but then again, it's an easier way to say, especially in relations with other fandoms. And for the record, it's "Queen's".

Felixng Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 It's actually Queen's, not queens. T-ara is the Queen and we fans belong to them, hence the possessive form. Sleeping Ham, Soostal, Faedra and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Thomas Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Queen's is the possessive form of Queen. So if someone says "You are a Queen's." or if you said "I am a Queen's." both of you are saying that you are Property of T-ara, not that you are a queen. You could just say you are a fan if you wanted to. I don't mind either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeezee15 Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 LOL ppl chill chill... ok, i made a mistake its Queen's !! i had forgotten about the 's... but i was wondering..how do u guys ans qn like these ? would u say im a queen's ? or a fan of t-ara or something else ? Simple.

Toan Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 LOL ppl chill chill... ok, i made a mistake its Queen's !! i had forgotten about the 's... but i was wondering..how do u guys ans qn like these ? would u say im a queen's ? or a fan of t-ara or something else ? Depending on the situation. If a person who has rarely any knowledge of kpop, obviously I would say I'm a fan of T-Ara since they wouldn't know what QUEEN's means if they don't even know T-Ara in the first place. Among the people in the kpop fandom world, I refer myself as both. It's not that big of a deal to me personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timtam Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 I'll just show them a picture of Tiara...enough said On the other side.....I feel proud when I call myself that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Ryu Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 For myself, I took it as a blank space to fill in right after the fandom name. Leaving it up to the fans to decide what they wanted to be called. This is what I mean, . . . Queens' _____(Please fill in)_____. The "Queens'" part are the T-ara members, and we as fans, are right after them in the space that needs to be filled in. All because of the plural possessive form of the word "Queen", which is added with "s'". I would say Kings (males) and Queens (females) in general. But other titles and names can be used, like Princes (males) and Princesses (females), or Knights, Soldiers, Warriors (Which can be used for both genders). Most of the fandom just leaves it blank and stick to the T-ara part, "Queens'", which is completely fine, although I won't really call myself the T-ara members in the sense.

RabbitDoubt Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 No Im Not. Im proud of It even though im a guy... Correction QUEEN'S not queens ^^ Exactly. It's not that you're a queen, but that you are the queen's. Like, a servant or something to royalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frederick36 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 yeah i used to think it's weird, actually i prefer 'diadem'. but now i take it fully heartedly [?] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scatter_88mil Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Generally only prefer myself as a casual fan of the group (and more specifically, a bigger fan of certain members). I'm more than happy to just label myself as a 'fan'. I get the meaning behind Queen's, but it still somehow feels...I don't know, tacky? Reminds me, someone brought up of the name 'Tiramisu' when people were thinking of what names could be used for the official fandom name. Exactly. It's not that you're a queen, but that you are the queen's. Like, a servant or something to royalty. I think 'admirer' would better fit lol. 'Servant', somehow brings up images of people being worked to the bone :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
