time to go shopping. my poor bank account.... current financial status: broke. edit: ah it didn't occur to me that it might be for the korean market only. oh well.

I sincerely hope not! They just left for Europle today. I hope kks gets detained midway for a long time - doesn't matter where...

So basically.... Soyeon will get less lines? She might be reduced to lead vocal. The two vocally outstanding new members will be the leads? Hwayoung is still the main rapper. Eunjung, Hyomin and perhaps Jiyeon will be sub vocalists/rappers/dancers Qri & Boram will just contribute to the chorus/dancers (Boram need to invest in some stilts soon, she keeps getting pushed back. ugh.) Am still very annoyed with the news. Stupid KKS and his half-baked idea. gawd. Does that mean they collaborated before? If so is he referring to Davichi? O.O

The "small amount" matters little. A good deed is a good deed regardless of how "negligible" it might seem. Plus they managed to raise awareness (which to me is just as significant) so props to them.

Talk about being counter productive. 9 members will create more competitiveness. They seem to have a good thing (teamwork/friendship/chemistry) going on right now. Why jeopardize that? Am relieved none of them are leaving but is it just a matter of time? Just look at that veiled threat. Dear T-ara members, it doesn't matter that you've been slogging your guts out these past 3 years. It doesn't take much to replace you. Love from KKS. Their CEO really has more vaccum than brain matter in between his ears. I sound like a broken record but...the number of members doesn't not equal to success, a stabilized fanbase (sticking with original members) is the key. Just look at Big Bang and SNSD. If he wanted 9 members, he should have made that change when they weren't so popular or during their debut. Making changes when they are almost at their peak is beyond...stupid (for a lack of a better word.) Does any other agencies cause that much "grief/stress/annoyance" to their fanbase?

how interesting. hopefully one day we will be able to hear Hwayoung's lyrics in T-ara's songs. (: this song reminds me of "we were in love"

The best surpirse = no changes at all. I'm relieved that there are no removals but come on...2 more members equals to less singing lines for the others - except Soyeon and new/more dance rehearsals to accomodate the new members. KKS "30 years of experience" counts for naught as he can barely gasp what the fans want. Possible foreign country members? A Korean speaking or a Korean descendant from America and China perhaps? I would assume those are the markets that they wanna conquer next after Japan.

Awesome, looking forward to them! But I hope those aren't the final covers. It looks as if someone made it with MS Paint. They should let Hyomin design them, she did such a realistic job with her composite photo.

Are you sure? I thought they are already there. edit: I stand corrected, they are leaving on the 10th of April. I wonder when Freedom(the channel) is out. Can we subscribe to it already?

LOL wayy too adorable. Lucky Mason & Mavin hahaha. Soyeon posted some Mavin pictures on her twitter too.

I thought that they will be having some sort of a holiday then I read that KKS is tagging along. Oh well, hopefully they will be able to get their batteries recharged for the upcoming concerts, musical, albums etc. All of them are going? So there will be no cuts afterall? Hopefully that will be the case. 10 Billion won is about 9 Mil usd? Wow.

How cute haha. I wonder why it took EJ so long to accept.

Early June? Wow. Where do they find the time? It is safe to assume the top 4 are safe from the chopping board?

O.O Just heard the full track on youtube. [/Very happy fan] Apparently the full track will be on tonight's episode.

That is true. But having healthy & happy employees will lead to better productivity = potential longer shelf life as apposed to working them to the bone leading to miserable and completely burn out employees = shorter than expected shelf life. That is why I said in the other thread, that for someone with 30 years of experience, KKS sure has dreadful man-management skills. He doesn't treat the girls as human beings. He is basically a tyrant. I'm assuming the girls are back from their so-called break now. I wonder how they are taking the news.

Awesome! Best news I've heard all week. Can't wait to hear the full track.

2nd post in this topic. they finally managed to get a few days off and kks drops a bombshell. so much for getting some rest. talk about being treated like puppets. i hope they turned off their cellphones, internet and whatever communicative devices during this period.

It is only mid March in 2012. T-ara members have/had been busy with.. - lovey dovey promotions - went to paris for music bank - roly poly the musical - flying to and fro from japan - not to forget their usual dance rehearsals, acting commitments and whatnot. yup they are the laziest group ever. [/sarcasm] i'm surprised he is trumpeting his "30 years of experience", for someone with that much experience, one would think he would know how to manage his "assets" better and stop making stupid mistakes. his man management and time management skills are sorely lacking. have you ever stop to think that their stress level might be caused by your erratic decision making and constant tinkering?? not to take anything from snsd but part of their success is due to them being in a huge company and the fact that all members remain unchanged since debut hence they have a stable fanbase. hopefully he is just trolling with us. :/

... 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!

Well that's a really short one but I suppose it is better than nothing. Isn't DH2 supposed to end next week? Why are they still filming? :/ Gah, I hope Jiyeon gets her break soon.

New album + Official fan club? Exciting stuff! Hmmm got to start setting aside some money to go to Korea in July. I really want to catch them in concert.

hopefully this translates into more rest for them...the words "vigorous schedule" is scary though.
