*YANiPOPO* Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 With Kara's comeback coinciding with T-ara's repackaged album promotions, people have pitted both groups against each other for having a similar concept to one another. After T-ara's song "Go Crazy Because of You" entered the charts last week, it successfully kicked Kara's "Lupin" out of the number 1 spot. But despite what people are saying, these two groups are far from competitors or enemies. In-fact these two groups have grown close to each other for sharing the same practice room in music shows and for variety shows that they participate in. T-ara's Hyomin says, "Ive grown close to Hara from Kara because of 'Invincible Youth'. She's really playful like I am and sometimes it seems she's the bigger sister(unnie)." In another transition soon, T-ara will remove their gothic clothes and put on their wo"man"ly charms as they will promote their 2nd bonus single "Im Really Hurt". ~~~ Cr: Newsen + Tiaradiadem.com Translatio: *YANiPOPO* @ tiaradiadem.com + Sarang!Bang @tiaradiadem.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyTcK Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 lol when groups are coming out with similar concepts they're having a competition with eachother xD strange ppl . i bet all the groups out there are like friends with each other but it's actually the fans that are having the competition xDD. all i would say, sit back and enjoy the music that all the different artists are giving us. but ofc i did hope that T-ara will climb to #1 thanks for sharing ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjitjoong Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 i don't think any groups try to compete, it just to look like they do by the nezitens :\ LOL. but its good they are like close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*YANiPOPO* Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 ^It's mostly the fans. Example: Big Bang vs TVXQ Wonder Girls vs SNSD T-ara vs Kara Hyori vs Dambi vs ChaeYeon vs every single female solo artist ever in south korea. so yeah. but i do think sometimes, there's real hate between others.

ykyk Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 both groups, their genre song is diff though so that is not a competition? Hwating for T-ara and Kara ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudding Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Congrats for T-ara dominating the charts and being the 1st! The girls are close. Especially Hyo with Hara since they've been in IY for long. Why do people always have to put groups "battling" agains t each other!? >.< Thanks for sharing and translating!

Cinnamon_Vanilla Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Netizens are so odd. Just because they've released new music at the same time doesn't make it a competition. It appears to me that both groups are trying really hard on their comebacks. Personally, I like both groups, & it wouldn't bother be if KARA were number one on the charts. However, congrats to T-ara! I can't wait for them to promote the other song~~ I loved both of the new songs, so I'm excited for this one just as well~ Thanks for sharing~!

darkdragon88 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 There always has to be some rivalry in everything but it seems the artists usually never feel that way. It is really great how a lot of them are friends with one another. And I'm sure the girls of Invincible Youth are all relatively close to one another, they always seem to have a lot of fun together (probably helping Hyomin get air time).

Jonathan Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Obviously there's no real competition between groups or artists. It's just the fans that want to think of it as a "competition" because it gets them more hyped up to cheer for their favourite groups. I really can't wait for the girls to promote the whole "I'm Really Hurt" song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorkiista Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 No competition whatsoever. I love that both groups are in friendly with each other. And of course we know Hyomin&Hara are close since watching the first episode of IY. (sitting next to each other and enjoying some Hara's snacks) And the leaders<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyomineejjang Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 I am looking forward to see them perform I'm really hurt! I love how the girl groups are all kind of close to each other and I am definately loving Invincible youth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahhjinjja Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 After SNSD goes black, there's going to be way too many "dark and sexy" concepts out there, not that I'd be complaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melo.breeze Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 yeah, the idea of groups competing with each other simply because they release things at the same time is more or less always started by netizens. it's what makes fandoms so interesting. with that said, i doubt either group have competition in their minds. judging from their BTS pictures they seem to get along rather well.

lf2iii Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Wow, its good to hear that there's not much competition between the 2 grps and that they bonded together... Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metafora91 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 i think it IS sorta like a competition. cos both songs are more or less the same concept, chic,gothic and both are great songs and i dont think snsd's oh! can compete wth these two.. its not strong enough.just their usual girlish style. just my opinion though.hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
