Is it Woollim Girls...? No, it's "Tasty"

[swhyeon1991.livejournal.com]

After a teaser that was released last week, many fans were anticipating the new girl group from INFINITE‘s agency Woollim Entertainment. However, it seems that you will have to wait longer for the girl group. Instead, Woollim Entertainment will be debuting a new duo group named “Tasty (Tasty 2 Wins)“.

This was confirmed through the new website that just went up tasty2wins.com which contains the same music from the teaser. On the website, you can only see the silhouette of the 2 members who are presumably male and they’re labeled as “Asia’s No.1 Performance Duo“.

mixed feelings tbh. at least they are tasty!!

Kim Kwang Soo talks about Chae Dong Ha with Hwayoung, proves that he's a psycho

[gogoparty.livejournal.com]

Kim Kwang Soo, CEO of T-Ara's company Core Contents Media, mentioned Chae Dong Ha (who passed away in 2011) during his talk with Hwayoung, which is drawing speculations.

On the first, representatives from CCM told the press that "Hwayoung and Hyoyoung came to the office unexpectedly last night and had a talk with CEO Kim Kwang Soo", and that Kim Kwang Soo told Hwayoung that "when Chae Dong Ha told him that he was leaving SG Wannabe, he tried to convince him to stay in the group" and that "he was sad when he heard what happened to Chae Dong Ha, as someone who worked with him for 5 years".

Kim has expressed his sadness about the death of Chae Dong Ha who used to be in his company, but the actual reason why he brought up this story to Hwayoung remains unclear. As Chae Dong Ha was met with unfortunate circumstances after leaving SG Wannabe and CCM, it is uncertain how Hwayoung, who was kicked out of the company, will react to this story.

adding more fuel to the whole fiasco! some background info: Chae Dong Ha was the leader/member of ballad group SG Wannabe (then under CCM) until he left the group in 2008 to pursue solo activities. In May of 2011 he was found dead in his house in what was apparently a suicide. I don't even know why KKS decided to bring him up (and tell the press about it, no less) but it just goes onto show how fucked up he really is ugh

(sorry mods, ignore my previous submission, found some mistakes in my translation - and also I don't think I cited the source? it's been a while lol)

Dani will not join T-ara early

[breakinglocks.livejournal.com]

Core Contents Media said that there is no plans for Dani to join T-ara early.

Core Contents Media made a press release on the 1st saying, "Online rumors are circulating that Dani will join T-ara earlier than planned, but that is a false rumor."

Following the news that was posted on T-ara's Japanese homepage, rumors circulated that Dani will join T-ara earlier to replace Hwayoung's position.

Core Contents Media also said, "Right now T-ara will promote as a 7-member member group with Areum and be joined by Dani in December."

Eunjung removed from advertisements + leaves message via her official fan cafe

[gloomyclock.livejournal.com]

T-ara‘s Eunjung broke her silence for the first time since the Hwayoung controversy began.

On July 30th, the singer took to her fan café and wrote, “Thank you so much.. and I’m sorry.”

Her few words seem directed towards her fans, to whom she is apologetic that the controversy caused disappointment and shock, however, also grateful that a lot of them are still standing by her side.

In related news, T-ara’s agency Core Contents Media has recently terminated Hwayoung’s contract. You can follow the story here.

Have the stars been plagued with a ‘We Got Married’ curse?

[hisjulliet.livejournal.com]

The recent string of bad luck that some of today’s top celebrities have had are causing fans to question if it has anything to do with what they suspect to be a ‘We Got Married‘ curse.

Not only has T-ara been swept up in their own controversy, 2PM‘s Nichkhun and Clazziquai‘s Alex have recently been booked for driving under the influence. Additionally, in the past, Super Junior‘s Kangin, Crown J, and SG Wanabee‘s Kim Yong Jun have also all been involved in unfortunate situations.

Girl group T-ara has been plagued with what seems to be the worst bullying scandal in the history of K-Pop, and following Hwayoung‘s leave, former fans are petitioning that Eunjung be removed from dramas, advertisements, as well as MBC’s ‘We Got Married’.

2PM’s Nichkhun who was coupled with f(x)‘s Victoria on the show has also recently been involved in an unfortunate accident after having a few beers before getting behind the wheel. His alcohol level was measured at 0.056% and the 2PM member has currently put a halt to his activities. Ahead of his accident, Clazziquai’s Alex who was coupled with actress Shin Ae on ‘We Got Married’ was also booked for driving under the influence.

Super Junior’s Kangin previously paired with actress Lee Yoon Ji on the show also caused much social upheaval as a result of his drunk driving and bar fight, and Crown J who was coupled with singer Seo In Young was charged for possession of marijuana, then later charged for assault on his former manager.

And Kim Yong Jun who is currently serving in the Korean military as a public service worker drew major interest after featuring on ‘We Got Married’ with his actual girlfriend Hwang Jung Eum, but later received 80 hours of community service and was put on probation.

Furthermore, previous ‘We Got Married’ host Go Young Wook has also had his share of legal troubles.

Guilty until proven innocent: The lynch mob against T-ara and who’s really to blame

[dannknee.livejournal.com]

The fallout from Hwayoung‘s split with T-ara has been nothing short of cataclysmic, and resulted in an all-out witch hunt against the current T-ara members. The group has lost endorsement deals, been forced to cancel concerts, fan cafes have shut down, petitions and groups to have T-ara disbanded and to uncover the truth behind the scandal have attracted hundreds of thousands of people, netizens have called for the members to be removed from their current television shows, a music program director has said he will no longer contact T-ara, and much more.

In less than a week, T-ara has gone from being one of the most loved groups in K-Pop to the most reviled and hated. But whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty, and why are the members of T-ara receiving all the vitriol instead of their controversial CEO, Kim Kwang Soo?

Two more idol groups suspected of bullying

[girlsday.livejournal.com]

With Hwayoung‘s controversy with T-ara coming to public light, the K-Pop industry is now taking a closer look as to where these issues could be stemming from. Unsurprisingly, Hwayoung isn’t the only one suffering, as other groups came forward with their own concerns.

Reporters were able to find that the issue of bullying already has strong roots within idol groups, especially with the growth K-Pop has been seeing lately. There’s a correlation between the level of an individual member’s star power and the level of discontentment within the group, as the bigger the difference there is in income, the more prone the group is to bullying.

I'm so glad they explained to us the dynamics of Kpop and idol groups because I swore I thought they all farted rainbows. Hey atleast they're not smug and mentioning Hyuna.  Not trying to start wank but they seem to be treating the people worried about Hwayoung like idiots tbh. The workmates analogy is just dumb because if something like this happened to a workmate they'd be suing the company to kingdom come.
