On the 5th, T-ara's agency said, "We received an offer of 10 billion won (~10 million USD) to do a project tour next year in Southeast Asian countries such as China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, etc." But T-ara plan to do a Japan Arena Tour at the same time as the offer as well as do domestic activities in Korea. T-ara's Japanese Arena Tour would be able to reach over 150,000 people. T-ara's agency said, "We will think hard about the offer and reveal if we will go through with the Southeast Asian tour in January."

come to china! I want to meet Eun Jung so bad. hope their controversy doesn't really affect their spirit

Here is another Xmas greeting on Core Media.. since its official CCM, why not send a greeting back to them on the Youtube comments? Who knows who will read it..

well congrats T-ara For me, Lovey Dovey is really the best kpop song for the year ^^

I remember Choi Jin Sil passing. Good actress, I was told. She has 2 kids, if I remember what I was told. Having a good reason to react is one thing, but having a photo-shopped, edited, fabricated bunch of evidence is certainly not cutting it, especially when it comes to assuming what is happening behind the walls of Core Contents Media, as if they witnessed the events when in fact they did not, and never is this lame excuse on the machines worth going head over heels on either. I've asked for this before, if such claiming accusations are true about the management breaking any laws and abusing their employees, get a police investigation going. No amount of torment, let alone blackmail, for that long, is going to stop a victim who finally stands up and says, "That's enough!". Since none of the members did that, how do these antis expect anyone to take their claims seriously? The judicial system is not just there to serve the public, but to be that example to uphold and teach that truth and justice is what assures peace and stability in the community. Not going around the internet like some digital lynch mob with an idiotic, misplaced, egotistical assumptions. If hatred is a door that swings both ways, and forgiveness is the means to stop it swinging, than the antis are the ones who want this hellish atmosphere to continue coming in and going out, even after the company and the girls apologized and took responsibility for their very own actions. Did the antis respond in kind? No. they dismissed it. Isn't it wise to say that things get moving in the right direction with a kind word, rather than a bad one? Being silent only lingers on as nothingness, nor accomplishing any sort of progression for their careers, and with technology currently, such recorded pains will definitely not be forgotten any time soon. T-ara and Core Contents Media are trying to give reasons to like them, but as those fabricated evidence are what makes it logical that these antis have no justification for their voice and that they truly are hating for no good reason at all. The antis have to back off, or they get rolled over by their own vindictiveness and live the rest of their lives finally realizing that they missed opportunities to make things better.

lol I know what you mean, but who's saying they do everything right? They screw up more than any company I can think of. But then again, I can't think of any company that's been put in the position they're in now. And through hindsight, many now blame CCM for not predicting this idiotic controversy.And it's only hypocritical if they are equivalent, but to most South Koreans who know the culture differences between Japan and Korea, they are not. Isn't this all about what T-ara's homeland thinks of them? Some of the biggest stars of the Hallyu Wave (Winter Sonata, Dae Jang Geum, KARA) all had pachinko deals in Japan, and netizens said nothing. Even Goo Hara actually had a soju ad, and there was no backlash. This further proves netizens are creating an illusion of what is acceptable behavior for an idol, simply to bash T-ara. So if the statement is not hypocritical, why should CCM be blamed for it? I for one hope CCM continues to release statements which anger netizens, all while T-ara is invited to more events and gathers more public supporters (which is happening right now). More and more people will see how deranged the netizens are, and maybe it will set an example to the industry and diminish netizen influence (not likely, but I can hope).

This is starting to get childish to continue this sophismata that Core Contents Media did the ads knowing that they were going to use for gambling, when to the contrary they did not do it for that reason, in the first place. Sure, the machine is known for being used in gambling purposes since the 1980s, but that doesn't mean the company was going to do the job because they wanted to be part of it. That's spitefully presumptuous. Especially when the fault of using them for gambling purposes are the gamblers, not Core Contents Media, nor T-ara. Reality check here, . . . so playing cards, also known for being used for gambling, the federal government of the U.S. decided to place the most wanted Al-Qaeda members on it, a few years ago, so does that mean the U.S. military and law enforcement agencies endorsed gambling as part of its policies, rather than to inform the public to be on the look out for them? The Pachinko machine is originally a child's toy, and still used for sanctioned recreational arcade games. I even heard there are PlayStation console versions. I'm starting to think the antis/netizens are trying to pull the Kamilias into this civil war we're still in amongst the fandom, right now. I'm very positive to believe the Kamilias realize the utter futility of this insulting gesture to start ranting like a bunch of idiots. Understanding the Kamilias, they'll apathetically decline their tasteless invitation. Companies, including Core Contents Media, all struggle through challenges, and definitely SM Entertainment, J.Y.P. Entertainment, YG Entertainment, and many more, all have their difficult times to overcome. When these circumstances occur, it falls on everybody to decide whether to be supportive, turning into a lynch mob member, or be indecisive and do nothing. I rather be supportive of the girls and the company they're employees of, because I know well enough about these difficult times, even when the employees start murdering, literally.

Yes, but that was back then, January of 2011, if I remember correctly, and I doubt he's in a position to hold a grudge now, nor does he have any influence over the Kamilias to forsake the girls. During that time, I was surprised to hear that from him, but I didn't believe he was being an extremist about it, and still don't, because it felt like to me that he's a die hard Kamilia himself, who just took it things differently. Yeah, I know about the whole requesting to ban the 3 members from the industry, after Hara joined Gyuri. But still yet, it was not really the 3 members' fault, it was Landmark's problem with the administration under Lee Ho Yeon's wife after he was hospitalized and had to go to surgery, if I recall. Kim Kwang Soo is on the outside of DSP Media's walls and didn't have the full info on what was going on inside of it. He's like the rest of us, therefore, I didn't take his comments seriously, and only as his feelings being expressed, that's it. If anyone believes to presume he has any say in DSP Media, is downright outlandish and easily dismissive by others. I believe he knows this already and understood what happened soon after. No doubt relieved that Nicole, Seungyeon, and Jiyoung were about to reestablish themselves with little or no backlashes about it. He's passionate about K-Pop, no different than the rest of us. He has shown that he's capable of change too and quite responsibly apologetic and forgiving. So I doubt he's holding a grudge against Kara for mentioning them on the machines. It was more or less likely to point out other artists whom participated in the same fashion to better relate with them and state they're still part of the Hallyu Wave, rather than endeavoring to be the 1st group to do something new in a venue in Japan. I would dare to even say the company, in a way, is calling for support from the Kamilias and fans of the actors through the Pachinko. Don't forget that Southeast Asia Tour offer that Core Contents Media has still yet to counter-propose on, to allow the Japanese activities to move on firstly. I believe they'll do some promotions here and there in Korea, as a reminder that they're still in the top echelon of idols, and still able to perform on stage there as well. I still hope and believe that having Hwayoung rejoin the group will improve the group's current circumstances greatly, given just how many people in Korea and the rest of the world wanted her back with them so badly back then, and even now. I sincerely hope the group will be able to venture and perform in other countries around the world as well. I found it completely idiotic to find out that some of those antis/netizens actually believed that by destroying the company will allow the girls to have more break time, without realizing that this is their "careers", their very livelihoods, not to mention their legacy, as if changing jobs is as easy as flipping a coin in the air all the time. If majority of the fandom are indeed underage workers who believe in such a thing, than they'll learn it the hard way when they do become of age to work. Hopefully they won't have to, depending on how capable they are in their respective companies and their business is able to thrive and survive the ever changing markets.

Do netizens really have nothing else better to do than bash T-ara? And what is CCM doing? They really should just switch companies

I sense overwork and hectic schedule coming their way. But its still a good news if the girls are going to held a tour to be able to see their Queen's.I just hope they don't overwork and rest more.

Loophole: So WHO actually offered CCM about this 10 billion won offer, eh? WHO? Even if this isn't a publicity stunt (seeing the money amount, it's goes to show CCM's up with its typical antics and overexaggerated crap again - not even other agencies go on bragging about stuff like this), it all goes to show that the ones who made the offer don't realize or care that they're potentially putting an even larger pile of work on T-ara's shoulders. This tour can wait long after the one in Japan's finished. Not during or before it. That's just overkill. Sidenote - anyone with even a hint of geography would know that China and Taiwan are not SEA countries, nor are they even considered part of SEA itself. Fail of geography there. Mate, how are you sure this money is going to go to T-ara, or even a majority or fair share of it? Chances are CCM will probably take the bulk of this money and leave the scraps for the members (which will also have to be divided in between 8 members, assuming this tour takes place after Dani's in), considering T-ara doesn't decide where to promote or how much money is distributed between the two. If you're going to favor increasing their workload while putting more risk to their mental and physical health after all the hell they've gone through in the past months, then I suggest you take a strong reconsideration. Promoting overseas as a long-term substitute for promotions in Korea isn't going to cut everything as with the majority of Kpop idol groups, Korea's always the most important source of income, followed by Japan. T-ara ain't SNSD. The validity of CCM's claims aren't even reliable and known to be full of outright lies and contradictions too. Well, with CCM known to be the most notorious and incompetent (not to mention unreliable) agency in Kpop, you can't expect people in the Kpop community to give them an easy nod. From the Nam Gyuri incident in mid 2009, KKS's unwarranted opinion of KARA's lawsuit against DSP, T-ara being overworked with visits to the hospital, new member additions over unjustified and illogical reasons and now the scandal back in July, 5dolls' bullying scandal etc, I don't think it's difficult to wonder why people heavily dislike CCM and won't hesitate to drop crap on it.

Me: Ok.. Korea Queen's doesn't love them like last time anymore so what? They got International Queen's on their back. Combine other country Queen's together surely more than Korea's anti. Let them roll on other country! Me: "Plan" means not confirm.. So it could be Japan Tour before or after Asia tour. (though i got a feeling it might be before Asia Tour) Promoting in Korea = new comeback which also means the last member adds in. Which will be another sail in the sea of storm. Though I want them release new album soon but still with all this "discussed plan", even I myself who is just reading the article could imagine how tired it can be. Just imagine yourself working your dream job like there's no tomorrow. Always overtime and lack of sleep. So, on top of everything, their health comes first. Knowing CCM is a cheapskate, wherever country they go, Queen's give them some food and a lot of vitamin supplements!!! They NEED IT!!

Hope they will come to Malaysia again... M-Queen will be right here waiting for them..
