Another freaking BIG announcement! I'm kinda getting tired of hearing something like this from CCM regarding T-ara. Can't they make up their mind for once which direction they are going to head with this group?! Personally, I would be really happy if they announce that Dani won't join T-ara anymore and not about removal of members, reprimanding the girls and shaming them publicly, again. Just read the AKP article about the tweets. Antis and bashers are having a feast in there, but since no one really knows what happens off stage and off cam, no one is in any position to pass judgment on the girls. I feel like us fans have gone through so much also while supporting T-ara. I'm sure we'll also get past this. Supporting Boram, Qri, Soyeon, Eunjung, Hyomin, Hwayoung and Jiyeon all the way!

Let's be a strong fanbase for T-ara no matter what.

Omg... I don't like this feeling at all... "big announcement"?? It could be good... or very bad... I don't like the wait >.< STRESS!

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post links to external websites, but if you guys want to know about the tweets, check out Oniontaker's blog, he has them all translated. And let's not be too concerned with netizens blowing this out of proportion. Most of them are likely anti-fans of T-ara, and they will use anything they can to try and ruin T-ara's reputation. Most of them don't even care about these tweets or anything else, they're just having fun trolling us fans. T-ara's current popularity just makes them a bigger target. Just ignore the stupid comments.

Eh, guys... All of them talk about ''determination'' Hyomin: ''Let us all have more determination'' - Who must let them? A leader. Jiyeon: ''The differences in levels of determination ^^, Always be humble ^^ and sensible ^^ I applaud you, acting genius ^^” - A leader has to be humble. Eunjung: “A position can make or break a person, but determination can make a person too. Sigh, it’s unfortunate. You have to know to take care of the people around you.” - Position: Leader. / You HAVE TO know how to take care of the people around you. Hwayoung: “Sometimes, even determination alone is not enough. At times like these, I feel upset but I trust that it’s a blessing in disguise from the heavens. God, you know everything right? 2 things come to my mind. 1.-Maybe Hwayoung's time to be the leader has come. 2.-Maybe they're not talking about Hwayoung... maybe they're talking about someone with more power there. Maybe they didn't want Hwayoung to perform in her state and they're acting sarcastic with the one who let her perform like that. Whatever, Hwayoung tweeted something about fans and her family. T-ara is like a family. I've just read the whole tweets and I think that netizens are overreacting. It looks like they are talking about the concert. Well, except Eunjung XD. Jiyeon and Hyomin talked about having more determination for their next concert.

I'm not Korean and not read Korean statement about the matter. And I know people start bashing Jiyeon, Eunjung & Hyomin about the twitter......Before you all start saying that i'm bias for the big 3 just read it first. This isn’t a biased opinion at all. As much as I may like T-ara but I’m not a die hard fan of them. i've just starting as Jiyeon, eunjung & hyomin fan and I have nothing against Hwayoung. This is what I personally think on the matter. The CEO should had left T-ara as just the 6 of them. If he really wanted more girls in a group, he should had created another girl group instead of bringing in additional members. Let them make their own name for themselves. Plus, it seems like Hwayoung is playing victim role right now and seeking support for something the fans aren’t even sure what’s going on. Instead of being on twitter, she should just wait until their CEO makes a statement. Wait until everything cools off and hope for the better. Then why is this happened? We should think about it..... hwa posting all those tweets when they’re already in a somewhat controversy right now? If she really think about T-ara she Shouldn’t post anything on those social media and the rest of the members just lay low for awhile? Or maybe Hwayoung misunderstood and thought it was for her... and I don't personally think that it was addressed to Hwayoung. That’s just make more war between their fans since the fans don’t really have a clue what’s going on, and what does 3 member really meant when they were writing those tweets. Also, those who are bashing Eunjung,Hyomin and Jiyeon right now, do you even know the whole story about the tweets and What they meant and who they were for? We are only assuming things right now because of Hwayoung’s injury. So we bash them now, but what if we were wrong? I surely hope that we don’t try to be hypocrite and say that we knew that they wouldn’t say something like that after all the bashing we were doing. Hwayoungahhhhhh you should clear & explain the whole thing, so the fans can calm down and for them to decide what side to take regarding this matter. I'm sure Eunjung, Jiyeon and Hyomin cry about this matter.....Jiyeon as always got bashing............and got hard time since debut as her fan i'm always.........Hwaiting....May god bless...just wait until the CEO makes whatever statement he has to make regarding this twitter controversy.

To be honest, I'm a person who aren't looking forward to that announcement. It can't be a good news. I got very worried about the tweeting incident since last night.

Whenever KKS will have an announcement like this, it makes me really nervous. I'm getting a bad feeling about this.

If you read the tweets translated by oniontaker the t-ara members tweet wasn't an issue or joke they were just talking. Only after you read Hwayoung tweet does the previous tweet's become an issue, regardless of if they were tweeting about her or not I think Hwayoung should've just kept silent and nothing would've happened. I'm not blaming Hwayoung but if your a public figure you should think before you post stuff because different people will read your words and think of a different meaning to the one you wrote.

Honestly I think the people saying the tweets are not insults are being very unrealistic. Hwayoung's reaciton, her sister's reaction and the multiple tweets they made about Hwayoung feeling hurt about them show that the tweets were insults. The fact that CCM then said the T-ara girls who tweeted that to Hwayoung had their twitter accounts hacked is CCM saying "Yes these are insults...but they weren't by the members since their accounts were hacked." So that settles for me whether they were 'jokes' or 'insults'. They were insults. Whether you want to believe someone managed to hack 5 T-ara member accounts and posted all around the same time, that's up to you. So in my opinion this all comes down to whether Hwayoung is at fault or the other T-ara members(excluding Qri who didn't tweet) are at fault. I think there's really only two possible reasons for those tweets to have happened. Reason #1: Hwayoung is at fault and deserves what was said on twitter. Hwayoung really is lazy and doesn't work hard. She joined a top idol group after they worked hard to get to this point and she has just kind of coasted and not worked as hard as the other members feel she could. She immediately put herself out there like she was an original member of T-ara even though she was new. Eunjung took painkillers with a screwed up ankle just to be able to perform on regular Korean music shows for Lovey Dovey and Hwayoung would not do something similar for a lesser injury in order to perform on a very important Japanese concert. The members finally hit their max frustration levels and attacked her on twitter for that reason. Reason #2: Hwayoung isn't at fault and has been bullied by the other members. T-ara did not want a new member and has never accepted Hwayoung. She has been ostracized and bullied since joining the group and feels more comfortable with other trainees or members in other groups because T-ara hasn't made her feel welcome. T-ara already had a 3:3 split (Hyomin/Jiyeon/Eunjung and Soyeon/Qri/Boram) and so she was never able to fit into either group. Hwayoung got hurt and couldn't perform and the members saw it as a chance to once again attack her and make her look bad and maybe even get her kicked out of the group by making her look unprofesional. Personally I think it is more #2 than #1. I think the members didn't like Hwayoung being added to the group and I think they resented Kim Kwang Soo for adding her (and now more members to T-ara and calling the original members 'lazy'). I think this twitter attack against Hwa Young was more of an attack against Kim Kwang Soo sort of like "See? You called us lazy and told us we didn't work hard enough and you keep adding members because of it. Well one of these members didn't even perform at our Japanese concert because she's 'hurt' while we have had members take painkillers to perform hurt."

I don't buy that especially Soyeon would publicly insult any member on twitter. Apart from being the current leader, she's rather mature and a good speaker, she knows better than this. I just don't buy the whole incident. Haters gonna hate.

SEE CCM THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MESS WITH THE ORIGINAL 7ARA . ADDING IN 2 UNNEEDED MEMBERS TO T-ARA . I WILL LAUGH AT YOUR FACE IF T-ARA ACTUALLY ENDS BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID ACTIONS OF THEM 'NOT WORKING HARD AND WANT THEM TO WORK HARD' LETS SEE HOW YOU ARE GONNA MILK MONEY FROM GANGKIZ AND 5DOLLS . stupid ccm is stupid

It was apparently a twitter issue you can look online some people translated the tweets but again for me is not insulting I don't get the messages. But netizens say they (members) were insulting Hwayoung in a sarcastic way for not being able to perform with them

wth is a very big announcement ... why the heck will he wait three days to make it ... such a jerk of a ceo

Honestly, I'm not really thrilled with anybody right now, save for Qri and Areum, who wisely decided to sit this one out. Eunjung, Jiyeon and Hyomin should've known better than to make comments that could've been taken out of context on a social networking site like Twitter, Boram and Soyeon should've taken the mature route and not said anything at all (especially since they went ahead and deleted their tweets anyways), and Hwayoung shouldn't have added fuel to the fire by calling for a bid for public sympathy. None of them are impressing me right now, their behavior is reminiscent of twelve-year-old girls, so maybe Dani's inclusion shouldn't be such a shock anymore since their mentality is probably closer to her than we thought. And before anybody says anything, I still love them and will continue supporting them, but this whole ordeal is just ridiculous. Anyways, back on topic...I agree that maybe this is all a blessing in disguise. As I sat last night thinking about everything, the one thing that kept crossing my mind is how when idols get involved in scandals too big to be swept under the rug, they are usually put on an extended hiatus to let things cool down. If ever there was a time that such an action was appropriate, it's now. Day By Day showed us that T-ara has enough power to their name that they can withstand some controversy, what with the member changes and everything, but for KKS to keep them on track for two or more comebacks for this year alone isn't going to help matters. Sexy Love/Mirage and T-ara's Effect need to be put on the backburner until next year, and these 8 (maybe soon to be 9, who knows at this point) need to sit down, have a pow-wow, sing a couple of bars of Kumbaya, and GROW UP. All of them. As far as a member leaving goes, I've heard some interesting theories about Hwayoung...that she's actually been rumored to want to leave for some time, and that the member's tweets are actually in reply to her deciding that she's going to leave, and them questioning her level of dedication to the group. If that IS the case, I can somehow understand their frustration with her, but even then all of this Twitter mess is just driving me crazy. It's not that they had problems with each other, that's understandable, it's that all of their dirty laundry is being aired out in public, and they're the ones who seem to be responsible. Sorry, I'm just venting right now. I guess it's all of my frustrations over the past few months finally coming out all at once. I still love T-ara and hope for the best for them and will continue to support them, but I seriously hope they get put on an extended break, both for their sake and for the fan's sake. It's just not fair to keep f*cking with the fandom like this. EDIT: I was so busy ranting that I forgot to say apology accepted lol. But yeah, we're good, if there's anything good that's come out of this mess it's that I've realized that it's time for me to wake up. T-ara had a good run but they're just as fallible and prone to error as anyone else; time to be realistic about their current situation. You're absolutely right about one thing; Queen's need to brace themselves, the proverbial sh!t is about to hit the fan.

I hope this fansite of T-ARA didn'd look like any other site that always bashing our girls !!! but I realize NO ! many fans without concern in our T-ARA, please don't make any terrible comment about any member in T-ARA just like AKP or any other site!!!!!!! are you still considered as Queen's ??? T-ARA hwaiting!!!

If T-ara had stayed a 6 members group, none of this would have ever happened and the bond between the members (without this competition thing) would have never ceased to increase. Who's the one responsible of the crazy schedule, the concepts, the lines distribution, the new members addition, in short, responsible of everything ? Not Hyomin, not Jiyeon, not Eunjung etc. but KKS.

You're right, Boram never did follow Hwayoung to begin with. Most people just automatically assumed that she followed her because they were members of the same group, lol. Honestly, this situation has become nothing short of frustrating to watch unfold. The ambiguity of it all is what's driving me crazy. To begin with, I don't know what to make of the five who originally started the Twit convo in the first place. When it was just the five of them it seemed like a relatively innocent conversation, nothing horrible or out of the ordinary...they just sounded like they were trying to give someone a pep talk. Then Hwayoung and Hyoyoung chimed in, then Hwayoung's rap teacher, and that's where it all went to hell in a handbasket. If the five of them were guilty of bullying (and reading their messages I still have a hard time seeing it) they need to face the music and stop acting like children. I understand they're all tired and on edge, but now is NOT the time to be sniping at each other, regardless of the circumstances. And this might get me flamed but I don't care, Hwayoung should've known better than to stir the pot by continuing to tweet those additional messages in a bid to gain public sympathy. She's only made this one hundred times worse than it already is, so I hold her just as accountable as I do the members who allegedly bullied her. They're all acting ridiculously immature, which is sad considering the majority of them are in their twenties and should be acting like adults. At any rate, ALL of them are old enough to know better. If they have problems or issues, that's fine. They obviously need some help sorting everything out. But to go about handling their issues like this is downright stupid, I'm quite disappointed in everyone who took part. Good on Areum and Qri for being adults and staying out of what is obviously a VERY messy situation.

If we only read all of T-ara's members tweets,it does seems like nothing serious and they were just talking to each other like always.However,what does make me worry it that: 1:Hyoyoung tweeted something about what's the use of having a pretty face when you're not on the inside?It's obvious she's describing someone from T-ara.I'm sure she won't say that to KKS. 2:Tarae,Hyoyoung's rap coach (and Hwayoung's too,if I'm not mistaken) said something like "They are big headed now.They forgot that they used to be a nobody..." 3:Hyoyoung also tweet about people should treat a person fairly and and s(he) is sick,treat them as a person. 4:Boram stop following her on Twitter and like crabmeatrangoon said,a few of Hwayoung's pictures on their twitter had been deleted. 5:Soyeon deleted her tweet about the whole determination thing.She must has realised that thing got worse and as a leader she should step aside. And yes,rather than tweeting a new post,Hwayoung should has stay low.Now thing got worse and worse. If you put two and two together,it does seems like the 6-ara and Hwayoung have something going on between them- and it's serious.

because of this I wrote that we just know one side of this and we are unaware of the other side!!! I just see them as discussion between friends I my self didn't like Hwayoung's recent tweet! it seems she wants to gain attention during this mess instead of adjusting things.... it's just ruining their friendship! it's not good! I hope this problem get solved & see all of them together laughing!

i dont really stay up to date with t-ara as much as i used to. i wasnt even aware hwayoung was hurt, but i guess thats why i wasnt seeing her in any pictures of their recent japan performances. makes sense now. when i first heard their was an anouncement being made (from their facebook page) i had no idea that this was the reason behind it. i was hoping it would be some kind of anouncement on future tour dates. (possibly america! keeping my fingers crossed for the future!) im still not sure whats going on. iread the story and the tweets, but i dont know korean and have to keep in mind when translated may not come off with the same tone and context as english. so it could be mistaken as harsh. or maybe it is harsh. i dont know, so i cant say for sure. but what i do know is : Hwayoung has come a long way after joining t-ara late. since her debut with the group she has changed the most out of any member. not only looks of course, but as far as stage presence, her rapping potential, (potential as a performer in general voice, dance) and her attitude in front of a camera is much more lively and fan friendly. if it's one thing i have seen from hwayoung its that she has been one of thee most hard working and dedicated members of t-ara. and not only t-ara but in all of the k-pop scene. so much that hwayoung has become my favorite member. i know there is alot that goes on that we dont see as fans. and i know there are times when even the best of friends have disagreements. so if these remarks are meant to be hurtful and to question hwayoungs dedication it comes off shocking to me, who as a fan has seen nothing but the opposite from her. thats all i can really say. ill just remain in good faith and hope its all just a misunderstanding. keep your head up hwayoung your fans will support you no matter what! same for the rest of t-ara! we're always with you.

The hate that EunJiMin and Soyeon are getting is so terrible. I can't believe that people are saying such terrible things about them when nothing has been confirmed; everything is just pure speculation. I specially feel bad for Jiyeon. She is getting torn apart on Korean sites like Naver and Instiz. The comments about her are disgusting. Most comments are hating on T-ARA members and supporting Hwayoung. I really want this announcement to come soon. This is getting out of control. I'm so upset that this is how T-ARA have to spend their 3rd anniversary day. Poor Hyomin, Jiyeon, Eunjung, Soyeon, Boram, and Qri. You 6 worked so hard to make it this far and now some people are completely ruining all of your hard earned success. My heart is breaking for them.

UGH! He is such an ass. This is not looking good. He better not punish any of the ORIGINAL 6 girls... I'm really disappointed with Hwayoung. She is making this situation so much worse by posting those things on twitter...

[12.07.28] Video HD - T-ara "Day by Day" @ Music Core + MC Cuts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gODdP4GQ1_k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay63pxpIZ-M&feature=player_embedded *** cr ; pp5408/namchn709

We will just have to wait for the news when it comes. Speculating will just make things worse in my opinion. Many times the speculations have been wrong. What I cannot stand right now are the naysayers especially the ones bashing T-ara members who do not even follow them. Reading comments "Oh, i don't really follow T-ara" yet feeling their opinions matter is ridiculous to me and I hate the thought that people will read comments and blogs and believe it as true. T-ara did not just start a few months ago, they have been in the industry for three years. I believe they are smart enough to know what to post on a social site. People are just twisting things around to have news to gossip about. I'm staying faithful to the group and will wait to see what unravels.

What about boram applauding hwayoungs acting skills on twitter right before she stopped following her?

I feel so, so, so depressed today. I´m afraid they disband them (but i think CCM has so much money into this, and they wont do it), so i think they are going to kick out someone or someone is going to leave the group, I´m very concerned about Eunjung´s reputation, because she is my bias, and i know she is marvelous, i don´t mind what other people think but this is a big moment for her i don´t want anything to ruin her carreer, and i want to have T-ara singing and dancing as always. one more thing if the tweets were indeed about Hwayoung. A few mesages can be named bulling? for me it would be a discussion, disagreement, but not bullining. THIS IS NOT FAIR TO MY T-ARA. And whatever that happed, Hwayoung tweets are not helping, and i´m really mad about her.

Time has come for KKS to reap what he sow... He's the very man who, since the end of Lovey Dovey's promotion especially, has torn apart T-ara with his stupids statements.

omfg i cant watch/interact with anything that involves T-ara anywhere or else this topic is brought up and unlike how its being discussed here, theres just all this hate towards EunJiMin ;_; This website us the only place i can go to for T-ara related things now without seeing all the hate and being at the verge of tears because of how many fans T-ara probably lost because of this incident...

sleepystudent So true, CCM's damage control sucks BIG TIME! SKream I don't have any notion that T-ara will stay as a group after they hit 5 years in the industry, they are only in their 3rd year now but because of the way they are treated by their management, breaking up seems not so far from them. But I will always hope that they will stay and treat each other like family. As for me, if ever this happens, I'll try to still be active in this forum as I am now and continue to support the girls the way I know how. T-ara fighting! T-ara fans fighting!

Wow I just read the Twitter thing. While I really hope it's just things blown out of proportion, I don't believe in coincidences. Being a self-taught pessimist doesn't help either. KKS would know better than to outright terminate any of the girls, but the idea of splitting up cripples both sides. I really hope it's an announcement of the dude giving them a real 1-2 week break, not for promos or babysitting Gangkiz or w/e, to cool off. T-ara's been crashing and burning for too long. Yeah simultaneously hacked, with no other tweets before or after being out of the ordinary and the questionable tweets still exist. That's what happened lol. I get mad at friends and family all the time, don't mean I seriously hate them. Hope it's just a vent for the group's overall frustration. Sucks that it's directed toward Hwayoung though... It's tough being a T-ara fan.

I got a bad feeling about this,please don't mess up with our Queens. And for their twitter "incident" I don't see any insult in their conversations,what's the big deal?get over it! True that netizens tends to exagerrate things.

[12.07.27] Video - T-ara Eunjung + Hwayoung @ KBS Vitamin 120725 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBNLiXZ3C7I *** cr:tiaragosubs5

omg I just read the twitter situation.....translations can never be TRULY accurate. Have Eunjung, Hyomin, Boram, Jiyeon, or Soyeon made a statement about this?

If that's the reason. It will actually be the first time I really appreciate Dani joining in early. I'm going to live in torture for the next two days .... :( :(

I hope it's not about the Twitter thingy, cos that's just dumb speculations by netizens who have nothing better to do. Gow in the world do those look like insults?! Hopefully, it's about Dani, or even better, KKS gonna leave CCM.

It's probably Dani joining T-ara officially. She did want to join with them sooner rather than later..even though KKS mentioned he wasn't sure if it was the right time maybe seeing a good reaction from fans during the concerts made him think this is the perfect time for her to join even if she isn't well prepared. Hopefully it has nothing to do with what some of us our worried about.. T_T

I'm so freaking scared & confused right now. That issue is getting bigger and bigger, netizens are even dissing Jiyeon about her ancient scandal FOR GOD'S SAKE, WHAT IS HAPPENING TO T-ara T__T it's a nightmare! Today is their 3rd anniversary; poor girls! they sure have a lot to deal with

I don't have a good feeling about this seriously CCM is not famous for giving "good" news about T-ARA and about the twitter issue I still don't get how it was an insult it is really confusing to me

I doubt it'll have anything to do with kicking any members out, which seems to be a rumor going around. Especially with all their success in Japan at the moment, I don't think CCM will risk anything that drastic. Still, I'm confused, if it's an apology for the tweets, wouldn't they have to retract their whole "hacked accounts" statement? I guess we'll see what happens.

hope this is really a good news... but that's KKS, when he is the one in charge of announcements, everything goes wrong, *facepalm* I'm really worried about Soyeon the most, aside from the hectic schedule of T-ara as a whole, and her as individual, This year has tons of issues of health, adding members, and now Youngie issue is really something... as a leader, i believe she is affected the most... T.T fighting Ssyo, fighting T-ara!

Yea, I'd have to agree with you on this one. I personally find Jiyeon, Hyomin and Eunjung to be the most guilty of this bullying case but in the long shot and in the wide picture, KKS is to blame for along with whatever cootheads in management supported him. If more popular groups like SNSD or 2NE1 were in a situation like this, I can't even begin to imagine how much worse the chaos would be. It would be unthinkable - hell, Kpop as a whole would take what can be seen as an almost unrecoverable damage. Honestly, the more I think about it, T-ara seems much better off in its 6-ara days.

today so many article about t-ara !!! very sad day for me . but anything happen to them the blame must be to KKS ! anyway t-ara perform as 8 mmbr is happy for me ! they all look pretty !

i will support hyomin no matter what....because i believe hyomin not evil person but i'm crying right now...bad thing will happen...t-ara will lost their fan tsktsktsk

For some reason I think that KKS will not kick out members but possibly put them on hiatus and say that they are focusing on their dramas that they are filming.. They can't afford to do something drastic by removing members.

wait what happen? insulting by members? o.0 wae? wait i didn't get it!!!! o.0 hope it is not a bad news!!! i dislike surprises, especially if it is from our most hateful CEO!!!! >.<
