xbot Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Can somebody tell me if this is true or just a hoax? There's alot of tweets saying that T-ara just ranked as the Kpop girl band with the second largest revenue in 2013. A sub of the Forbes Korea article which be much loved. Thanks https://twitter.com/furrychan/status/412229754117312512/photo/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scatter_88mil Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I'd be curious as to where that list actually came from. I tried Google searching, but haven't found anything in Forbes itself, nor is there any mention of it in their Twitter page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomomiazhari Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Done some research with some of our SB friends yesterday. The results suggest that the post most probably is a fraud. The most recent article in Forbes that have anything to do with T-ara is this. Nothing could be found other that that. It's a little sad when people start circulating "information" like this that may lead towards confusion among fans. I'm simply hoping that people will start investigating first before continue giving others wrong information. BTW, a praise for you for asking other's opinion. Good day stranger... p/s: This is my opinion on this matter based on all pieces of information I could gather on internet. If by any chances someone bring me the proof that the post is real, I'll humbly apologise and gladly accept the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbot Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I guess so.. there is also a list of Forbes top Kpop boy band earners out there which probably came out from the same unreliable source. The only thing about top kpop earners is this article from The Qoo last month: http://theqoo.net/bbs/board.php?bo_table=square&wr_id=245010 (T-ara is #9 by the way) There are english translation of this at several kpop english sites. It broke down album & dvd sales, but don't mention digital downloads, concerts, CFs and other revenues so don't know if it is also reliable or not.

tomomiazhari Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 hmm...in term of physical selling huh?? that looks much more reliable than random number represent their revenue for the year. Tx for the info. BTW, i found the translation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
