Soyeon seems to be quite a reasonable person, so everything she says must be truth.
The matter about the new maknaes, I totally agree. People (or maybe just the press who's popping the issue) are too worried about them and their young age. I mean, they know what they're doing and they had an acceptable definition what T-ara is and what it's up to when they audition!
Soyeon fits great as a leader... don't be so humble, Soyeon-unnie ;p
