Well, I'm going to just be thankful none of the current members are removed.

i'm speechless...why add 2 more members when t-ara was doing fine with 7....

Well at least the amount of flak KKS got from the public has managed to scrap any plans of replacing any of the current 7 members. But of all people, why add more? Hwa Young has only been with the group since 2010 and she sure as hell didn't get any popularity until at least several months ago. Most of all, the profit distribution and even lines in title tracks is going to grow even smaller. Boram and Qri, and even Ji Yeon and Eun Jung to an extent haven't had much lines with Cry Cry and Lovey Dovey. Maintaining 7 members is expensive but 9? CCM isn't as financially better off as SM, which shows little to no problem with maintaining SNSD and SuJu. Also, adding foreign members will not only create a language barrier but also in the long run, a potential case similar to Han Geng of SuJu a while back. We don't even know if any of T-ara's members are even possibly racist or simply don't bode well with foreigners. This just goes to prove that KKS is hellbent on trying to create his own SNSD-style group and dethrone SNSD itself as Korea's top national idol girl group, as well as taking on SM Entertainment itself. The man's gone delusional. It's like saying Justin Bieber will beat Hitler in terms of being a well known historical figure.

"Why adding new members when 7-member T-ara is doing just fine?" No! the question should be, "Why adding new members when with 7 members right now they can't fully showcase each member equally?" Is everyone going to be able to get better spotlight, with more members in the group?

oh man i would LOVE to see what is going on inside KKS's brain.

=[ they are flawless as 7. i don't like change. i don't know if i can support them like this, sobs. ccm should just focus on their new girl group and leave t-ara as is

No this couldn't be happening!! It dosen't make sense why do they even need to add or removed any members.T-ara are already popular. If they changed it,I think half of the fans will in disappointment. If they want to make it big in Europe,the company can always hired an english teacher for them.But not adding foreign. We love T-ara for who they are.

T-ara are 9 angels !! 지금은 티아라 Right Now It's T-ara

O M G!!!! WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY!!!! does he not see that the girls are doing really well right now!!!! i love SNSD but i can just sense some immature SONES preparing to bash the girls down.. T______T

Power of 9!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo On 2 member addition.. But i guess it's better than having a replacement.. so D-3 changed into D-2.. @_@

Yea, I was thinking the same thing. He says he wants to improve the current T-ara but what does sticking two newbies into a group, who obviously already has a large fan base and popular, have anything to do with improving T-ara? I'm sure that T-ara isn't lacking in any of the entertainment departments. We know they all can sing, they just aren't given the opportunities to showcase it. And with the addition of those two new members, it's obvious that those opportunities just flew out the window. As a fan, my thoughts are just that. I can't and probably won't be able to accept these new members because i feel like they're getting a free ride to popularity, endorsements and what nots because they got put into T-ara, who worked their asses off. And frankly, they should've moved dorms when Hwayoung joined... >-> I don't think KKS worries about the workload he place on the girls. It shows when he called them lazy and what not, when they hadn't had a vacation in 3 years. Also, he could lessen their workload if he wanted. ANd i agree with you (the last part). If he wanted to better/improve T-ara, he should just focus them as a girl group. Put off all the drama acting, musicals, and what nots. Let them focus more on singing and dancing. I'm pretty sure they'll live up to his (retarded) expectations. She probably got popular because of her participations to recent hits and her rap in their collaboration with Davichi was awwwesome! I can already imagine it now.. Qri, Boram, probably Jiyeon and maybe Eunjung (because she's a rapper, unless one of the other girls is also a rapper...) would become the chorus background singers and background dancers.. =_= If CCM had the money to add 2 members, why can't he just start off a new 2 member group along with that new 7 member group or something? If they're (the 2 members they want to add) that good, then i don't see any problem with them making money for CCM in the music industry as a duo or in another girl group. There is no need to add them to T-ara imo. This whole thing is a whole bunch of bologna, mixed in with a couple of rotten eggs.

It's a relief that T-ara members line up doesn't change. I hope that's decision doesnt turn bad later. T-ara Fighting !!

only hoping the best for the members hope it turns out to be something good for them though i don't like the decision to turn t-ara to 9 members

adding 2 more members are burdening... now the girls parts are decreasing when the parts are already not fairly split among themselves... nonetheless, lets hope for the best...t-ara hwaiting...

CCM is really sick! i thought KKS too obsessed with other nine-members.. it's better to give him rest.. and let the seven girls improve their skill with amazing concept and performance.. and i can't imagine how T-ara will get line for sing if this's really happen..

=.= i think it is pretty obsolete to add in new members. unless they are worried that increasing the current members' workload (like filming for jieyon and eunjung) will cause a pathetic handful of them in music program performances. maybe that's why the rest of the members dont get the opportunity to venture into areas like filming and varieties as well. in a nutshell, it is the greed of the company that couldnt be blamed because money seems to be everything to life ): moreover to better T-ara, there are others ways. just focus on music and make the best music, be the best dance and performance girl group. make them a perfect 7, with equal standings. adding members dont really provide a solution to becoming the best when focus is divided and the distributions gets so unbalanced. it's better to have a whole rounded 7 than a messed up 9. oh well, and i dont think anyone would ever read this, especially the most crucial one who needs to know this.

I agree, there aren't enough lines given to Qri and Boram already. I love them no matter what but I want people to notice them as well. Then there comes in 2 more members. >.>

With current 7 members,there's some members that don't have lines and can't show their full potential,Imagine if T-ara became 9 members girl bands . This ain't solution but more problems . But I have to admit it,it's better than replacing the members .

Idle thoughts... will Mr. Kim throw a wrench in the so-called Hallyu Wave? I just wonder if his messing with a relatively high-profile group like T-ara will arouse certain suspicions, especially in those areas only recently picking up on K-pop. And then, of course where that will lead. Well, not being privy to their in-house dealings, I guess I won't comment on all the fear-mongering I was doing before, but really, that June album better be awesome in quality - and show much improvement, both in general musical quality and in accommodating all the members - or this is all gonna go over really stupidly. I don't know how it went when they introduced Hwayoung, but they're also gonna need to really look good - that is, credible - on TV with the new members too. Like, Mr. Kim's gonna have to pull some favors or something to get good press and pull for positive spin to be applied to this admittedly lazy idea. To be honest, I thought this all was gonna be tied into that as-yet-unnamed rookie group from the Europe trip somehow, like that was gonna be the "B-team" he was talking about before. Freedom... do right by your girls, Soyeon.

To be honest, I don't think they should add or remove any members since T-ara is doing fine as they are now. Also, by adding two members each person in the group gets less exposure in singing and screen time. Overall, it's going to do more harm then good in my opinion.

The best surpirse = no changes at all. I'm relieved that there are no removals but come on...2 more members equals to less singing lines for the others - except Soyeon and new/more dance rehearsals to accomodate the new members. KKS "30 years of experience" counts for naught as he can barely gasp what the fans want. Possible foreign country members? A Korean speaking or a Korean descendant from America and China perhaps? I would assume those are the markets that they wanna conquer next after Japan.

Honestly, I'm just happy that they are not removing any of the members. I know that new members will sick at first, but they will eventually grow on me like Hwayoung did. I can't imagine T-ara without her now. The only thing that bothers me is the inevitable SNSD comparisons. I can just imagine all of that hate that they will be getting from obsessed SONEs.... :-/

i cant accept thisnews ...i want T-ar to remain the same ..i like them as they are now there is no need for an addition of 2 new members that will only bring the group down

Why do they wanna add 2 more members then they are already perfect 7?? That would really mean each and everyone of them would be getting lesser lines in the future and that sucks pretty much.

no one has brought up snsd though. just gonna wait for the official news~

Adding member isn't changing their level..Their level is up to music!!!You know it,KKS??

No, this is a big no. I'm glad that no one leave the group, but adding to new members? T-ara is successful with 7 members, and hell, each member doesn't receive equal attention now, so what will happen if there are nine? I love T7 because of my SEVEN Angels!

What ze heck? Until 10pm? Do they expect kids to sleep at 10pm now? Hell no, we sleep at 12!..

i waiting this for eunjung...fighting
