Correct me if I'm wrong because I've never seen any of these Mnet "rude shows" before. But I think what Mnet is trying to do is to show the viewers the rude comments towards Jiyeon both offline and online, but after that, showing that these people have changed their perspectives towards her. I just have a feeling this is what they're trying to do. I mean, it doesn't make any sense that her parent company would want to bash their own idol in the midst of all the promotions and stuff right? It just doesn't add up. The only logical thing I can think of, is to attract the attention of the viewers with this 'teaser' then show how strong Jiyeon is now. What more to attract than to dig some 'dirty past scandal' of an idol that has been the target of offline and online bashing. You cannot deny that titillation always sells. And of course, it just shows that Jiyeon is really to face this problem that has been really the problem to some of their journeys to making their comebacks etc a success. Afterall, Mnet has full control of what is shown anyway, and the last thing they would do is shoot themselves in the foot. Keeping fingers crossed for our dear girl and her sisters supporting her off screen.

ok i feel the need to cut some people................ anyways KARA's Gyuri is known for saying that haters will only hate you behind your back but if they see you in real life they will come up to you and ask for your autograph. Jiyeon be strong!!

It looks to me like they are getting opinions of her from people off the street and they all say bad things. She is upset at the end by their opinions. She's still a very young woman and not as mature as she looks. Those kind of comments do sting. But being in the performing arts she definitely needs to develop a thicker skin if that is what upset her. You will never get 100% of the people to love you no matter how hard you try. Take solace in the fact that your real fans love you and think only good thoughts when we think about you!!

[14.05.14] Info - Gossip Girls debuts at #3 on Oricon Daily album sales chart! T-ara’s third Japanese album has debuted at #3 on the Oricon daily album sales chart behind Jun.K’s LOVE & HATE and the Frozen soundtrack respectively! Gossip Girls debuted on Oricon (Japanese equivalent of America’s Billboard and Korea’s Gaon) with 6,554 copies sold in the first day. Compared to T-ara’s previous Japanese albums, Jewelry Box sold 23,796 copies in the first day while Treasure Box managed to sell 10,056 copies in the first day. Although it is a decline, selling over 6,500 copies in the first day with virtually no promotions is still an accomplishment for any group and helps hold still T-ara’s position as the #3 girl group in Japan right now. If you compare T-ara’s most recent album sales (Gossip Girls) with their best selling album’s first day sales (Jewelry Box), the change in sales is sadly a 72% decrease. While if you look at KARA, who are largely considered the most popular K-pop group in Japan, and their sales, they also have the exactly same decrease in sales — 72%! Their most recent album (Fantastic Girls) sold 20,081 copies in the first day compared with their best selling album (Super Girl) selling 73,076 copies on the first day. The same exact decrease in sales for both of the groups is just proof of the Hallyu Wave’s diminishing popularity overseas in Japan. Despite that, the sales for T-ara’s recent album is good for any group for one day in the Japanese market – and who knows what the rest of the week and the final weekly sales will be?! *** Source: http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/2014-05-13/ Credit: Nathaniel @ Diadem

[14.05.13] Video - Mnet 4 Next week cut w/ Jiyeon teaser CR: Kim Io @ Youtube

Although I mentioned this might be a tactic that Mnet employed to get viewers to actually pay attention to the show and see how Jiyeon and T-ara have changed, I still think it is hurting for them. I mean, I wouldn't want to put the girls through this pain once again, especially when Jiyeon seems to be the main target most of time because of her naturally 'cold look'. But we must have faith in Jiyeon's strength in fending off these criticisms and bashing, and emerge only as a stronger girl.

I dont like seeing Jiyeon cry. Context is important here but this video reminds me of GaIn's teaser for Truth or Dare earlier this year except it's celebs being asked to say things about her. It seems like this is a sort of social experiment where people say what's on their mind in an effort to show how ridiculous they've been.
