Personally, this sounds like another typical trolling from KKS. The only thing that could worry me is removing an existing member, but no business man in their right mind is dumb enough to do such action knowing that it will definitely reduce the support of that group. I haven't been a T-ara fan for long, but I already got the impression that KKS loves public attention (hence the constant troll every album release)

Like I said in the first article (idk, what happened to it), If another member is added, then I think CCM Kim Kwang Su is trying to build T-ara into SNSD. If he can add 6 to 7 to possibly 8, then what's gonna stop him to getting to 9 where SNSD, the top girl group is at. I have theories that he's fast-tracking to build T-ara into SNSD. If another member is not added, then it could be that sub-units are being considered like After School and how they did the Red/Blue/ and Orange Caramel. It was interesting to see them try new genres, but After School hasn't really gotten back together after splitting up like that. Now, they're just not as relevant and when people don't see you, you fade fast. If Kim Kwang Su is going into this route he has to be really careful to keep them together, unlike what he's done with Co-Ed. They went into 5dolls, then SPEED, but we don't see signs of Co-Ed coming back together. Last possibility is that we could see solo debuts. This would be really awesome like how Big Bang did it. They had individual ones, then GD & TOP came out and we hear a fresh new sound that we couldn't hear in Big Bang. I could really see a Soyeon x Eunjung collab or some kind of suave R&B sounds. Seriously though, Kim Kwang Su, whatever you're planning, PLEASE don't mess up T-ara as a whole.

You know what, F- Kim Kwang Soo. If another member is added that will seriously drive me to believe my theory that KKS is trying to make T-ara into SNSD. If he can do 7, then, 8, why not push it to 9, where the top girl group is at. Then sooner or later, he'll want to push into US Market and find a Teddy Riley-like guy to help him. Wake up, Kim Kwang Soo! If another member is not added, then I hope that it's not breaking into sub-units like After School did with their Red/Blue/Orange Caramel. Yes, it was kind of interesting to see them submerge into different genres, but After School did it for so long without actually coming back together to make a comeback that it's like "Wtf happened to A.S.?" Lastly, I hope this "member shift" is positive like a "solo debut", like Big Bang does with their members. They all separated for a while to do their own thing, but remained relevant and came back as Big Bang eventually. I could see a Soyeon x Eunjung collab like GD & Top did their thing. Please Kim Kwang Soo, whatever you're thinking/ doing, don't mess up T-ara.

After all the news of getting an official fanclub name, doing a major 3rd anniversary concert in July, stopping all acting activities for the rest of the year so the 7 girls could focus more in their music, then they are gonna throw a STUPID announcement such as this?! T-ara right now is one of the top groups in Korea... they are very much relevant in the entertainment industry... shaking up that definitely will do no good for the group. Someone here mentioned consistency... this is the reason why T-ara does not have that quality yet despite being so successful the past year. I really don't like to worry about this so if I'm gonna take it lightly, maybe they just meant T-ara will do a different concept again, and there would be another leadership change.. and hopefully those who doesn't get much singing lines will have more and maybe bringing a more mature image and sound to the table... We all know KKS is such a sucker for limelight and it only impacts T-ara negatively. T-ara deserves so much more respect and consideration from KKS and CCM. A change for the better is always good, but I also hope they get the opinion of the girls about things... they have done so much for their company. T-ara, Eunjung, Hyomin, Jiyeon, Soyeon, Boram, Qri, Hwayoung fighting!

adding 8th and reducing their lines? Should we just shooted KKS head?!

[12.02.14] Video - Hyomin + Soyeon Interview *** cr lmj1019@yt

actually... there are some criticisms to the translation by allkpop... it might simply just mean "This change not only includes group concept, but also the members' ". *take note of the apostrophe after the word, it might have been missed out in the translation* Note that probably they misinterpreted it in that way, and what was meant was that not only the group concept will change but also each individual member's concept will as well. so... relax!

WHAT THE FARK!!!!! CCM's brain has problems izit?!!!! If is only few months after they debuted, member changes still can be accepted. BUT now is already 3 years and their popularity is already SKY-HIGH in Korea and also Japan!!!! Hope is just to give us heart attack for awhile and not real... or I SHALL BOMB CCM AFTER SAVING T-ARA AND OTHER GROUPS.. YO, CCM!! U KNOW WAD NEED TO CHANGE?! CEO IN CHARGE (YOU).. I P-R-O-T-E-S-T the change of MEMBERS!!!! And what concept changes izit gonna be? I think they're just fine being a chameleon of the Kpop industry which takes on any concept and NEVER fails to pull it off PERFECTLY!!

... this better be a joke or a publicity stunt. adding a new member to the 7 = more dance rehearsals, change of dance/singing line up to accomodate her. removing a current member = unthinkable. >:/ unless he means splitting into them sub-units? this will be a dreadful idea as they are having their solo concert/2 albums/official fan club soon. no matter how i look at it, it looks more like a downgrade than an upgrade. :/ is he trying to do an after school? most fans of AS - including me don't even like the entry/leaving concept. *sigh* hey kks, do you want more money in your bank account? why don't you take a leaf out of sm's snsd. they stuck with the original 9 members since debut. kthanksbye!

The moderator of this website should create a petition. All members can sign and spread it around the web then we can send it to the most idiotic CEO possible.

Like I don't get it, the group is super popular and succesful now. They were even getting a fan name and their own solo concert and then they're just gonna throw everything away like that? Yeah, real great move KKS, solid managing. Aren't companies aware by now that consistency is key? I don't want to sound like a d-bag but look at After School (even though I love them) their ever shifting member system is rather confusing, really hard to keep up with and the difference in skill level is highly noticiable. It's like putting freshman to perform with seniors. And it doesn't work. Why they would even CONSIDER changing anyone or anything about T-ARA, specially at this point is beyond me. It's like building a successful empire and then going like, you know what, no, change everything lol - It's stupid. I hope, for their own good, that they see that.

It's good to see people are starting to see that Kim Kwang Su is a rather despicable scumbag now. Even my dad and his friends who are businessmen (or at least former businessmen) believe this is a very, VERY bad move - one of them even went as far as to say that KKS is an awfully inept, incompetent and even corrupt and power-abusing businessman - this is pretty evident with the fact that KKS hasn't bothered seriously promoting T-ara anywhere beyond Korea and Japan in a level comparable to SM, YG and JYP. CCM doesn't even have foreign branches overseas - most of the money T-ara makes is either going to CCM or to KKS himself. It's understandable CCM does need a portion of T-ara's income so it can pay its own employees (cleaners, receptionists, composers, managers and other staff), maintain equipment and structure and other sorts of logistics but KKS doesn't deserve anything after what he's done. Replacing the members at say, 2009 or 2010 would have a much smaller impact since T-ara wasn't all-mighty popular at the time - but ever since Roly Poly kicked off, such a move in the present would be completely detrimental to T-ara AND CCM itself. Added with the fact KKS hasn't even bothered giving T-ara even one decent vacation since debut - the current one, which is barely a week, is a complete half-assed attempt. 3 years of constant work and that's all they get - and Ji Yeon doesn't even get it due to her drama filming for DH2. KKs is a scumbag, to put it simply - even when KARA had their lawsuit against their agency DSP, KKS even attempted to interfere with the whole issue and personally said that the KARA members shouldn't even be in the entertainment agency. Even further in, SeeYa's Nam Gyuri also referred to KKS as a 'devil', only roughly a month before T-ara's debut in 2009. Oh yea - last note to one who says KKS needs a bullet in the head: He gets it in my fan-fic - titled, 'Concert of the Dead'. You may be interested

OMG!!! what the . . . . *spechless. . . if something wrong abt T-Ara in the future! i'll curse CCM for sure!

Reading the news make me really nervous.I hope CCM don't add nor remove any members.I like the way they are now! If they really add another members,that sucks because some barely had lines to sing! Gee,what concept they will be using next....I hope I don't l hate T-ARA just because of the new concept.. Rather than changing the members and concept,I want the CEO to be change. Seriously,he brings trouble to everyone.

If they really change the members!!!!! Let's see how the fans (we) will do.... May be I am myself will deactivate this account I really can't say anything!!!! I saw all of them complain "why don't they change the CEO???" better than the members???????" 야!!!!! CCM 미처서 아니야??? 정말 싫어요!!!!!!!

hoping the "potential shift in member" remains as a "potential" and will never ever happen!

Omg I hope nobody leaves the group... I really like them all together! :(

[12.03.13] T-ara finally receives their long deserved vacation Girl group T-ara is finally enjoying their vacation. T-ara's agency Core Contents Media said to Sar News on the 13th, "T-ara's Boram, Qri, Eunjung, Hyomin, Soyeon and Hwayoung all began their holiday yesterday (12th). Because Jiyeon is shooting for the KBS 2TV drama 'Dream High 2', it was was inevitable that she couldn't take a full vacation. The members will be on a break until the weekend." "This is the first long period of time for vacation for T-ara since their debut in the summer of 2009. T-ara members are using it as an opportunity to recharge. T-ara promoted consecutively with their hits since last summer and have show strength overseas with their "Roly-Poly" placing #3 on the Oricon Daily Single Chart. T-ara will begin to prepare for a large concert in Korea and fanclub this summer soon. *** Source: http://news.nate.com/view/20120313n18272 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem

So true, like you said it, I couldn't agree more, friend. Some morons out there think one can be popular just by pure talents??? There are so many talented junior groups out there that mastered both vocal and dancing. But do you see them raised rapidly like the rest? NO Of Course~!! Most of them gained popularity through Dramas, Variety/Reality programs. That's the Fact. Like come on guys, all of us fans who followed T-ara from the day they debuted as a 6 member group. When did you guys ever see BORAM or QRI being placed individually in any Variety/Reality Shows??? Only Eunjung(WGM), Hyomin(Invincible Youth S1), Jiyeon(Hero), and finally Soyeon (100 Points Out Of 100 a.k.a. Oh My School; this took CCM long enough to decide placing Soyeon in a Variety show...= =''). Like Soyeon was the Main Vocalist. She was also one of the least popular group members. But after doing her best in "Oh My Shool / 100 Points Out Of 100" she gradually gain more popularity. I started liking her even more after that show. Only Qri, Boram and Hwayoung weren't given any "Individual" opportunities to shine. If they were placed alone individually in a Variety/Reality show. To do their best and not to get edited out by the PDs, they will do what ever it takes to survive in that. So definitely it's their Stupid CEO and CCM fault. Go screw yourselves, Kim Kwang Soo, and CCM.

I seriously hope you're right if not i dont know what I will do. I can jus say NO NO NO!!! I demand the CEO to be changed asap. T-ARA is a 7 member group and it's composed of Hyomin, Soyeon, Eunjung, Hwayoung, Boram, Qri and Jiyeon if one is removed or added it's not T-ARA anymore. CCM needs a better marketing strategy or someone who is intelligent enough to stop saying such things, it's the worst idea EVER

So work three years straight, non-stop, and get less than a week off. CCM are awful.

geez....wtf! KKS is digging his own grave!! good job KKS you sure get into my list the-most-person-that-i-want-to-kill..hoho~ trying to upgrade or whatsoever...annoying! it just wayyyy to upgrade.lol. BIG NO adding nor replacing members..T-7ara forever!

Is this a serious matter? I mean what is KKS thinking?!!! I don't wanna see them split!!! Even adding a new member won't do any good!!! T-ara is in the best condition right now!!! T.T I hope it's just rumors....

I don't think the member line up means there are going to be new member in and old member out... I think what CCM's CEO said is their position or something (like the main singer and main dancer)... They're not stupid enough to drop a member from their most rising star, aren't they???

T-ara is forever Qri,Boram,Soyeon,Eunjung,Hyomin,Jiyeon,and Hwayoung nuff said! Why they even bother change the members while they already solid and have the chemistry. If this true,It'll be too much for T-ara's fans to handle (including me)

i think if KKS change T-ara member...T-ara fans will be craZy and burn their office,as we know T-ara really popular right now,how can he think to change the member that ridiculous....it okey if he add member but if he remove the member...he must stupid CEO in the world...but it is ALL about fans,if fans show that they don't like this,i think KKS don't dare to change T-ara member....

No....I just started to like T-Ara and I like them as they are now. What in the world is the CEO thinking? They are at the peak of their popularity right now. If they take out or add members, it would just ruin everything. If they take out members, the fans will be divided. If they add new member (s), their relationship won't be as good as they are now.

It won't be just immediate - it will hit the news NATION-WIDE. Moreso, it will especially bring a major buzz from netizens and fans alike. With T-ara maintaining its popularity at its height as of now, changing it substantially will bring in horrible results - this could be even more intense than DBSK splitting up. True, 7 members is already quite a lot of mouths and money to feed and maintain. It's as if CCM is planning to make T-ara into a CCM-Girls Generation-style group. I agree with you that the current members are indeed quite nerve-wrecked about it. I'm fairly positive that Ji Yeon, Hyomin, Eun Jung and So Yeon will remain but for Boram and Qri, it's a real worry - neither of the two are as good at singing or acting as the other four. Hwa Young is also a potential candidate for being replaced by someone else. Frankly, it was CCM's fault for not bothering to improve anything with Boram and Qri.

This is crazy .......I always bias for Jiyeon....but now if CCM change T-ARA member I couldn't accept it....and I will be no longer T-ARA fan... sorry to say

If they add a new member i can live with but if they are taking members away i will be outraged I can't picture t-ara without everyone in it =( Hopefully they will just announce a sub group, i wouldn't mind that at all

hei what is this? dont tell you change the member?? if you want to add the member is okey.. but if you want to change.. i dont believe that

What the f!!! What the hell is ur problem??!! First Hwayoung... I mean she hasn't coped up with the popularity yet!! And now ur gonna change the members?!! Or perhaps add some?!!!! Ur so stupid Mr. CEO!! Do u even know marketing??? This is why t-ara doesnt have a fixed fanbase!! Its bcuz u keep on changin!!! Wtf?!!u dun give them theirdeserve breaks [only recently since debut, ur worse than SME] and u even excluded ur ace!! Baby dino!! Gash now ur gonna change the members??!! Why can't u just keep the original members as it is!!! How stupid!! I am freakin sure that MAJORITY of the fans will disagree with this!!! I mean completely!!! BOTTOM line is...if you do smething with the current members...I swear to u CCM that will be the DESTRUCTION of T-ara!! And btw, ur marketing manager/director SUX!!! freakin hate u!! CCM doesn't deserve T-ara!! pftt!!~

So after all the hardwork our girls put in three years, they're gonna be given the sack like that. Then those replacements get to hold a concert in July with the other members is just three months of debuting. Three months and three years. You be the judge. The one that needs to be replaced asap is the CEO, not our girls.

Well it's about f**king time they got a break. Thank goodness for that. But in all honesty, it's not long enough. They oughta get something more that's at LEAST a month - that's what I call a break after having constantly worked for nearly 3 years, with occasional fainting. This is hardly different to a factory worker being given half the pay he/she deserves for working overtime for nearly a whole year at the least. Could it be a publicity stunt by CCM since more fans and to a degree, the general public are becoming aware that T-ara is being overworked? I cannot say for sure but the possibility is certainly high and open for discussion. Not even Kim Kwang Su can keep everything under the lid forever. At least CCM kept its promise the girls would be given a break - except the promised 10 days is now only barely a week and Ji Yeon won't be getting much from it. What is this? It's a completely half-assed attempt. While it's good that the girls (or specifically, 6 out of 7 of them) are getting some relief from their workload, overall, CCM hasn't redeemed itself from this at all. For crying out loud, Ji Yeon's the youngest of the group and by her age, only graduated from high school last month - yet she doesn't get the same benefit of the break as the other members. Suffice to say, the timing is awful and sloppy at best. _________________________________________________________ " T-ara members are using it as an opportunity to recharge" _________________________________________________________ Or rather, using it as an opportunity to sleep, eat and live normally for once. Until ALL 7 members get a break that's truly long enough to compensate for their years of constant work, I remain utterly disappointed and angered with CCM, even antagonized against it. And will continue to protest and if necessary, slander Kim Kwang Su and CCM in general. But for now, I hope the girls really take this brief time to relax and rest peacefully, spend time with their families and old friends.

So UEE is jealous because her topic is not a big issue? LOL Oh my poor Jiyeon why is so many people jealous of you but i will alway be on your side don't worry Eunjung Soyeon Hwayoung Forever

awesome thankx candy now my total hwayoung photos can go up up, ^^ Boram outfit is superbly outstanding as in make her stood out alot as well

I'm sorry UEE, but Jiyeon is like a AWESOME.

Beacause JiYoen more cute than Uee Dino-Rian_JiYoen Fighting!!!!

Malaysians can't get away with anything can they? Speaking as a Malaysian myself, I'm truly disheartened by the rampaging piracy syndicates filling every corner. During Chinese New Year, they used Bo Peep Bo Peep and changed the lyrics to some Chinese lyrics. I'm not against my country, I'm against piracy, plagiarism and pure inconsideration of other people's copyrights. Sue them, sue them for all their money. Heh.
