[Discussion] T-ARA

So ridiculous! I've been following this situation from the start. What a load of crap!

It is a load of crap. Way to break up a group >_<

What exactly is going on in T-ara??.....What's with Hwayoung being bullied??? I was never for once on support of the new girls that debuted with them......

Just when Hwayoung was getting more lines this s**t comes >.< And no matter what people says: I just wish that T-ARA doesn't disband. Their music is so good !

Regardless of all of that, it doesn't justify what the other members said to her when she was injured. Then trying to play it off saying it wasn't them being mean right after they tried that line about ALL of the members getting their accounts hacked. It just sounds suspicious to me. Now they are saying they will let her back in if she apologizes for "her faults". First of all, if there was an actual problem with her, why would they feel the need to publicize the entire situation rather than handling it face to face and talk it out? Taking it to twitter and releasing statements to the media saying awful things about her just is 1) Unprofessional and 2) Smell that? Smells fishy to me.

THAT is such a bull*** it's even funny who could believe that?... really... Korean idol industry is sometimes so absurd...

I think I'll move here to give my opinion about this matter (mostly it will be copied from the message to Violet-sshi).

Today from a friend's tweet I found out that there's been going some shit with T-ara and I went to check it out. I found a good article, which is only as a content table to the articles that have been released (in sequence), it makes the situation easy to follow time wise - http://www.allkpop.com/2012/07/t-ara-controversy-cliff-notes-edition

And now some of the opinion:
It makes me hate the other girls. I liked Hwayoung but she wasn't given any role from the very beginning - she was made a new member supposedly to be a rapper, yet in the new songs Hyomin and Eunjung also rapped, in many cases Hwayoung even got shorter lines than those two. And of course, they still added some kind of new newer member, that's also crap. And now when I see all those bullying stories, it makes me hate the other girls, even Hyomin and Soyeon, whom I liked so much (I'm not even talking about the manager/head of the company, I hate those people almost all the time in almost all the companies). It's just terrible. And of course, we can add that thing about Supernova, for which I hated the manager already, but now the hate goes towards T-ara members themselves.

I bet it was that the other members were as silk to the staff and Hwayoung was just normal. And there she goes... You know, she was in T-ara for so short that I wouldn't be surprised even if she was brought in it for this scandal purpose. Now the question if she herself is in it, or not. I don't blame her if she was though. Better do things like that than find a girl for someone to molest. There was also a case when the company made a scandal about Jiyeon and then silenced it, only to show a misbehaving Jiyeon that they can ruin her if they want to. You know, suddenly I don't hate Rian that much. Okay, I still hate her but at least I give her a bigger excuse.

This whole thing is absurd. But what gets me the most is this. Why do Korean idol groups have to be so LARGE. I mean is there really any point to having 7-8-9 members to a group? I'm sure most of the controversy that comes out of the K-Pop idol industry could go away if you reduced the number of people in a group....
