T-ara, "competition with Kara? Of course not!"

[myusic.livejournal.com]

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 charms as they will promote their 2nd bonus single "Im Really Hurt".

THEY ALL LOOK SO GOOD OMG

[jyurian21.livejournal.com]

Also...gothic clothes? lmao oic

[awkwardnormalcy.livejournal.com]

Nice to know I wasn't the only one who went 'Say what?0.0' at that bit.

[kuroxkitsunex3.livejournal.com]

I know right. I had no idea that was the concept... at all lmao.

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

I always thought T-ara would be competing with Rainbow since they debuted around the same time, give or take a few months, but man, what happened to Rainbow? Bo Peep and Gossip Girl aren't that different, genre-wise, and yet T-ara totally hit the ground running with their song....

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

t-ara didn't debut the same time as rainbow. They have been around since last summer

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

Yeah, hence "give or take a few months"....I thought Rainbow debuted September and T-ara July, but now that I did some wiki-ing it appears Rainbow didn't show up til November, so that's a bigger discrepancy than I thought LOL, whoops.

I don't recall T-ara having many fans (especially since they lip-synched their debut, iirc) here until TTL with Supernova, though...

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

You are right TTL really did it for them. No one cared about their first song. I think rainbow can do well if they get a good song. Gossip girl just wasn't that great.

People really hated them when they first came out lol.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

Wow that would be an awesome song for them. I am probably one of the few that actually liked Not your girl. They just don't perform it well live. I think Lupin would have been way better for them

[ethereal-limbo.livejournal.com]

I happen to love "Not Your Girl", such an awesome song. :3

I love Rainbow in general though. People need to give them a chance! T.T They're talented, but you know DSP...

[kimishim.livejournal.com]

Only in the English-speaking fandom. Rainbow is really loved in Korea.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

No I meant that T-ara wasn't really loved in the beginning

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

I think you mean Japan. Haha.

[stopthedisco.livejournal.com]

DSP happened to Rainbow.

[ethereal-limbo.livejournal.com]

So true, lol.

[fore-head.livejournal.com]

i'm really hurt concept pics look a lot like lupin negl

[chungmah.livejournal.com]

[xox-roxygurl.livejournal.com]

[awesomeful.livejournal.com]

I really, really love the T-ara/Kara friendship.

[mjxcheryl.livejournal.com]

that picture..
if i didnt know them and didnt read the title, i would have thought of them as being in the same group.
almost similar concept and same color themes here.

[kyujonglove.livejournal.com]

Hara from Kara.

....oh look, it rhymes. ;D

[matsya-q.livejournal.com]

Hara from Kara ... with T-ara :O

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

gyuri is tiny haha
I love the girl group/boy group friendships

[rexona-woman.livejournal.com]

YAY for Invincible Youth

[aunts.livejournal.com]

LOL TOO MUCH GOLD.

I love them both.

[steeele.livejournal.com]

I agree on both counts. Hopefully their next full album will be just as good, or better than their first.

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

i agree on part one. but because i agree on part one, LUPIN takes the cake. throw in that trainwrek styling and t-ara has quickly gone from being one of my most anticipated (thanks to a great album) to me not even being able to watch them perform that song =(

[onerainysunday.livejournal.com]

IA so much

[pivotandsway.livejournal.com]

The other repackage song is better and more Absolute First Album style. They're supposed to start promoting it soon. Knowing them they'll have shit performances put maybe this time they'll knock it out of the park

[dancingalpaca.livejournal.com]

T-ara will remove their gothic clothes and put on their charms

wot? I guess I better put away my gold shorts and bring out the Nosferatu albums.

[kireny.livejournal.com]

ngl at first glance I was like 'wtf they added two people to T-ara'
I got confused with the all the gold outfits and crap.

so they will be promoting "I'm really hurt"? I like that song alot better than 'Go Crazy because of you'

[lilykt7.livejournal.com]

took me a second to realize they were two different groups in that picture.

[kyoshi-luvs-a9.livejournal.com]

There is just way too much awesome in that picture

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

kara is > than t-ara right now for me. CAN NOT STAND t-ara's comeback song/image/anything.

[meccamputech.livejournal.com]

JOINT STAGE PLZ TY

[nezumi-kenka.livejournal.com]

Remember when no one omona liked T-ara?

[rikayla.livejournal.com]

can't wait to see their "i'm really hurt" promotions! that song is better.
but i hope they don't ruin it with bad costumes, eh.

[queefing.livejournal.com]

kara > t-ara by virtue of not having an unnecessary hyphen!
