  1. To be "fair" to the detriment of how good they could sound ? That's your excuse...fairness? lol When you blatantly know as a T-ara stan that it's everything CCM isn't. Groups can't get even distribution of lines when members' singing abilities aren't on par, some are lacking. You know it's not possible for t-ara. Better admit that you're only unhappy because your bias for once didn't get as much screentime and lines as usual or expected.

    I don't care about screentime, I care about the lines. I believe Boram and Jiyeon has what it takes to sing the lines. Fans of Soyeon and Hyomin can't understand how we feels. I don't want this to turn into a youtube arguement so I'll stop here.

  2. Why take the lines from the best singers of a group to give them to the weakest ones?

    To be FAIR. Seriously, it doesn't hurt to give 1 line of Soyeon or Hyomin to Boram and keep Jiyeon's lines.

    In Lovey Dovey Jap version,yes,Jiyeon did got lesser lines because Boram took hers.However,do take notice that Jiyeon sang quite a lot of lines (minus the main and lead vocalist,of course because basically a better singer sing more lines) in Roly Poly Japanese version and Cry Cry (which Boram,Qri and Hwayoung or to an extent,even Eunjung didn't get any lines besides singing the narrative lines).

    Roly Poly = Equal distribution of lines.

    Cry Cry = Jiyeon gets 2 lines, which is okay, not too much, not too little.

    I'm not complaining about Jiyeon's lines, I'm complaining about why they didnt give Soyeon's or Hyomin's lines to Boram instead of taking it from Jiyeon. Also the same case for Cry Cry, they could've give one of Soyeon's lines who sings 90% of the song to Eunjung, Boram and Qri.

    Whatever.

  3. Or,in a nicer way of saying,her lines was given to the other member of T-ara who is underrated (or underexposed).

    Right, so give the lines of the member who already got less line to the one with the lesser line and keep the lines of the member who already sings 80% of the song. Great logic. I can understand if Jiyeon's screentime is the only thing that they reduced, but her lines, seriously?!

  4. i can see Boram get more part,maybe because Boram & Qri has many fans in Japan(say in radio interview).....

    I can imagine that they're bluffing, because they need to say Boram & Qri famous somewhere.

    Not to mention that Eunjung and Boram got more lines and screen time !!! I feel like they basically cut Jiyeon's lines and her screen time to "near to non-existent". And is it me that she looks the least enthusiastic in the mv?

    Yeah I also thinks Jiyeon doesn't look really enthusiastic. And it's obvious why.

  5. Why do people want the history of T-ara :blink: Ain't it just a documentary of their debut until now? So nothing new. I rather want T-ara xmas premium concert dvd.

    Anyone know whether the photobook is a new one or just from the sparkle or the special edition in europe?? Also what's with the special package? I can only afford to buy the sapphire one, didnt expect the diamond to be this expensive, I can buy 10 korean albums with that price. This is a total rip off <_< Damn the addition of members, if T-ara is still 7, I would use that money to buy their korean album instead, as I originally saved it for that.

  6. What hurts me the most is not KKS's comments about T-ARA but how happy T-ARA portray themselves on Twitter and recently during their visit to Thailand. With all these commotions and also the discussions going on with the addition of members and also the harsh comments from KKS, they look like they are absolutely fine with it !!! Not to be rude but seriously what is going on and how can they stand such thing?? Why are they acting like nothing is happening and they are perfectly fine with the situation they are having now? Are they immune to it already? Do they always receive such comments from KKS which constantly poison their mind that they are indeed lazy, prideful and therefore they need to work their *** off so that they will be the best of the best? Or is KKS threatening them that he will reveal secrets about them that shouldn't be known to the public and they will be blacklisted from the industry if they ever utter a single word and rebel against him? If it is so, these girls seriously need help.

    The thing that all of them seem perfectly fine with it makes the situation even more suspicious. Do they know it long time ago that KKS will come up with this issue as a marketing strategy and therefore they have no choice but to comply to it since it's a benefit to them also? I am sure some of the fans will sympathize them and hence when their album is out, the fans will buy more copies of album to show their support to T-ARA (this equals to increase in revenue according to KKS's dictionary). It's disturbing how dirty the industry can be just to fill one's pocket with money, money and money. If this is indeed a marketing strategy by KKS, bravo to him because it's really working. By making him as the bad "father", people are paying more attention to T-ARA just in time for T-ARA's new album in July. However, if the girls themselves don't even have any idea about KKS's plans and yet seem happy about it, I would like to say they are all saints because they have a mountain of patience in them.

    Some people say that T-ARA has been hinting us that they need help so that they can escape from the "clutches" of CCM/KKS. If this is true, what are the fans have been doing? Not to be harsh but the fans are doing nothing.This is an excellent comment from an article I read on seoulbeats.

    "What really, really, really, REALLYYYYYY frustrates me in the whole world of Kpop-dom is the FANS. I don't know HOW much I can emphasize this, but everything, and I mean EVERYTHING lies in the hands of the fans. They have enormous power, and the worst part is that they don't even realize what they're doing! .... In order to actually get things moving someone has to take action, and that someone is the fans.

    When you think about it, a lot of these fandoms are EXTREMELY organized, powerful and fast to respond but they are using their resources in a completely WRONG approach. The only way to stop a BUSINESS is to BOYCOTT the product - could it be any more obvious? You have to get to the foundation if you want to destroy/change something! I’m sorry, but you can’t go, “I’m so sorry you’re suffering oppa! Let me support you!” = *buys albums.* Um, HELLO but you, yes YOU are supporting those evil agencies that are enslaving your godly husbands!

    The idols themselves are trapped. They are in a tight spot because if they deliberately rebel against their company then they will be left without a job and a roof over their heads. In my humble opinion, fans themselves are enslaving these artists by not acting out on their behalf - you can’t entirely blame companies when they are making EXACTLY what you like and demand. Idols exist to please YOU because you are buying their food, and if they don’t produce sparkly goodness for your viewing pleasure then they are finished. This is not about idols fighting back, but the FANS "

    Wow, sorry for the long rant but what do you guys think? Is there really nothing we can do as fans? Do we actually continue buying their album or should we sabotage the company by not buying their album? I am quite confuse since I am basically saving some money to buy their July album.

    Wow all the comments above are almost the same as my thoughts, I just don't know how to put it into words.

    As international fans, no, we can do nothing. The power is up to korean fans. However you could, say, add fire to the fuel by persuading some Sones to protest or something..Or make the effort to sign up on korean sites and posting what the korean fans should do and find out what the kqueens actually thinking about this issue..even if you can't read korean..hence the effort, of finding someone who can read korean to help you. There's a poll about what will happen to T-ara after the addition on hanteo, and from there I know that even koreans acknowledge that Yayaya is a complete failure lol. Or if you want to go more extreme, gather your friends and go to korea yourself to make a riot in front of CCM building or something :P About the albums, well I'm saving up to buy it too, but I change my mind because I'm so not buying album of "T-ara and The 2 Strangers". I probably would buy the Japanese album though since there might be a chance only 7-Ara involves in it. I'll donate the remaining money to Jiyeon's birthday project instead~

  7. Does TTL 2 count as remix? If so that's probably the only remix I like better than the original song.

    I also like Roly Poly in Copacabana beat, but I dunno which version do I like better. Sometimes I like the remix more, sometimes I like the original Roly Poly more.

  8. "If the members are lazy, or harmful to other members including the new members, we'll make the bold decision to remove and replace them with new members."

    KKS to T-ara : You better be nice to the new members if you wanna stay.

    KKS to the new members : Work hard so that you can replace the current members who work their arse off to achieve what they are today.

    9 members, huh? Great, just great.....You can't resist the power of 9. /sarcasm

  9. I'm sure there's already a similar thread to this...Anyway...

    Am just going to list the members who caught my attention and leaving a deep impression during the performances.

    TTL and TTL2 : Eunjung, Soyeon

    Bo Peep Bo Peep : Jiyeon

    I Go Crazy Because of You : Jiyeon, Eunjung

    Roly Poly : Qri (she impresses me by almost always singing her parts live)

    Cry Cry : Jiyeon, Soyeon

    Lovey Dovey : Qri, Hyomin, Soyeon

  10. Qri is indeed gorgeous but somehow she's not that type of person who can draws attention if you know what I mean. I only started paying attention to her after Cry Cry (ManRi lol) Since that I realized her beauty but before this, she looks just....normal. But sometimes I don't think she's that gorgeous, just under some circumstances.

    The first choice would obviously be Jiyeon, I pick Hyomin for the second choice since she's more gorgeous than Eunjung.

  11. Not sure but I think it's Soyeon. If you watch their recent Japanese shows, Jiyeon, Boram, Hwayoung still speak in korean and they look confused at times, so their translator help them to translate. Qri already knows Japanese before they debuted in Japan but because she's so quite...I'm guessing Soyeon is working hard learning Japanese than the rest of the members since

    1) She LOVES to talk :P

    2) She's the current leader

    I think Hyomin, Eunjung and obviously Qri are good as well.

  12. I must say I'm surprised with all the post above saying they like HB most lol. Because for me, among those 5 HB is the most boring after Soyeon and Jiyeon's scheming is over. I can't even finish watching Hello Baby :/ It's hard to choose but I think my favorite would be T-aradotcom. This show is what makes me love T-ara as a whole. This is also the show that introduce me to the rest of T-ara members. Man I miss 6-Ara..T-ara World for instance only has 2 eps right? And Jiyeon is absent so since I'm Jiyeon-biased..:P T-ara Dream Girls is also good but only until they change job.The eps them as stewardess is really funny and entertaining. The other job is a bit boring. I only watch PB up until ep 5 because Jiyeon is absent from ep 6 onwards -_- Thankfully she's back in ep 10 :D PB is entertaining too. Since it's multiple choice, I'll have to go with T-aradotcom, T-ara Dream Girls and T-ara Pretty Boys :D

  13. I think I voted Qri or Boram when I first read this topic and still new with T-ara. Now I deleted my vote and choose Soyeon. Underrated member means someone that deserves much more than people will allow. Soyeon has a great voice and variety skills. While I can't really say the same with Qri and Boram talent-wise. Soyeon deserves more credit.
