nayayz Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 I love this name~~ but for fanboy?? I don't know~ ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeautifulRobot Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 YES! THANK YOU CCM! This name is very fitting. I really like it. I'm a boy and I honestly do not mind being called a queen. lol. Kings would be an obvious title for male fans though, Kimi0310 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aoiblue Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 The majority of T-ara fans are boys so.....can't say I'm shaking in my seat in excitement about the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manciabrito1207 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 I prefer "Diadems", but King's sounds very good for fanboys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepystudent Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 You have to pay to be part of the official fandom? o_o Well I don't really mind but i'm guessing this only applies to the people living in Korea? Semi-off topic: Can anyone tell me how fandoms work in Korea? xD xxKazManiaxx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maknae23 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 QUEEN'S is certainly thousand times better than TARATHENAS. Just one question though, why is there an apostrophe "S" after the word QUEEN? Why is it not QUEEN instead of QUEEN'S? Question : Who are you? Answer : I am a queen'S? (sounds weird) Maybe they should have considered names like Prince, Princess, Duke, Duchess, Royal Highness. Question : Who are you? Answer : I am a ROYAL HIGHNESS. (sounds cool for me although it might be too long) DanielAhnsome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenCL Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 i read from some comments about why it was queen'S becauseT-ARA are the queens and we are theirs... cool right! That sounds plausible, but if that is true that means T-ara is/ are the Queen(s), meaning they are unequalled and are at the top. I have a feeling there might be some backlash by trolls and troublemakers trying to claim that T-ara and CCM might be snobbish of trying to hold a name like that, even though it's only a name. Well, that's my opinion, and I certainly hope that doesn't come true. "Queen's" is nice, but like some comments above, I'd try to aim more unisex.

WooRi Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 "Queen's".. Sound good for me.. Queen of digital, queen of retro, queen of concept & etc.. I'm grateful that finally we have an official name.. Album sales, digital sales, ticket sales, & the spot for fans in every event (concerts, music shows) will more orderly after this.. T-ara Go Go!!

airlack Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Actually it is unisex. The term doesn't imply that we are the female counterpart of a royal family of any sort. It just basically means we belong to them, and hence the apostrophe in the term, "Queen's". Qn: "whose fans are u?" Ans: "we are Queen's!" <--- this explicitly implies that we belong to our queens, and in this case, T-ara. =) It's a lot better and appropriate than "Queens" since guys can't really call themselves that. With the apostrophe, the meaning changed and everything is good! xPhil27x, Zelda, xxKazManiaxx and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's my opinion, and I certainly hope that doesn't come true. "Queen's" is nice, but like some comments above, I'd try to aim more unisex. SONEs and Blackjacks in particular (or basically fans of any other popular girl group) might as well be among those leadng the backlash. Frankly, the name Queens seems a bit of a lop but it's at least better than Tarathenas (makes me think of tarantulas). "Ahead of T-ara's official fanclub opening ceremony on July 14th, there will be a recruitment for members (paying) to join T-ara's official fanclub, QUEEN'S." I find this awfully laughable. Wonder how much money will be distributed between T-ara and CCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalltara Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 So does that mean we have to pay member fees in order to be a member of the fanclub? what if i joined already. will i get kick out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynt29 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 "queen's" ?? so it means we are theirs right? it sounds cool btw, at least better than "tarathenas" at first i thought when they just called it "queen" so my thought was how about the male fans?? but now i understand the meaning of this T-ara HWAITING !!!

LeslieJoon143 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Thousand way sound better than Tiramisu, Tiarathenas,Apollo etc... This might be the best news I read about T-ARA since the adding of two new members into the group. Oh My Seven Beautiful Princesses, I'm totally super excited to be QUEEN'S....And for sure, I will give all my love to you all til my last breathe...

DiyanLovesT-ara Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Wait.. If 'Queen' is suppose to be our T-ara ladies, then what are we suppose to call ourselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichi-diadem Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 What about male fans like me? Do we have to be called Queen's too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charismayeon Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Queen's such a nice name! I totally love it. I love diadems too! And I guess it's only open to koreans? CCM, can you make it international?? And if there's a need to pay, I hope the fan club members can get to have more benefits like more fan meet or high 5 sessions with the ladies!

LeslieJoon143 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 What about male fans like me? Do we have to be called Queen's too? I guess fanboy will call by Kings..No Queens, No Kings, right?Because they completed each others.And we as T-ARA fans, will do our best part by supporting our Seven Beautiful-Talented Princesses forever..

suu_chan Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 actually if u look at the name it called QUEEN'S with a ('S) and not QUEEN,so tat means T-ara are the Queens and we all belong to T-ara,and finally we have a name :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
