It sounds like he's still threatening to remove any members that don't work hard enough. That must be a nice environment to work in... do whatever you're told, and if you complain then you're out... nice.
The members should be the face and voice of a group, not the guys behind the scenes. The way this guy keeps popping up and talking about them makes T-ara sound like little more than employees.
All this stuff about artists becoming lazy etc is the sort of thing that should be kept behind company doors, just between the management and the artists. He's not exactly making a very good image for his own company and artists here.
The announcement about the new members would have come across much better if it had come from the girls themselves.
As a fan, even if a group if manufactured, I want it to seem like the group belongs to the members, if that makes sense, rather than them just being employees.
Rich got a reaction from winnieBG in [12.04.06] T-ara to promote as 9 members beginning in July
