remember t-ara being bitched about for their disrespectful attitude, well it happened again

[unreal.livejournal.com]

Singer Mo-se (real name Kim Jongbeom, 31) recently passed some strong criticisms on T-ARA's manners.

On October 13th, he tweeted, "There is a girl group whose attitude at events have led to them being talked about. I know something of it. They are also famous for not greeting others. I've met the girl who posted an explanation a few times, and not once did she greet me. What's worse, we met a few times at the recording studio before their debut, and even then she didn't do anything."

"Particularly, when we meet at events, it's only manners to say 'thank you' and greet each other lightheartedly. Let's not even mention they fact that they don't greet -- all they do is watch me. Wow. They must be big stars. I don't normally say things like this, but what kind of celebrities or adults are they to behave like this," he continued.

Previously, T-ARA's Hyomin had posted a short note on her Twitter clarifying accusations of insincerity against her group. She said, "There is a part in the choreography for 'Why Are You Like This?' that makes it look like we're talking to one another. As for "Roly Poly," we wanted to portray a joyful image to the audience, so we smiled at each other and made it look like we were joking around amongst ourselves. I think that misunderstandings arose because of that."

As soon as Mo-se's tweet started spreading, he added, "I didn't mean for that to happen, but I accept their apology and on my part apologize for what I said. I was a little vicious with my words, but seeing how apologetic they are, I think they didn't mean to be rude. In any case, I will watch over them in future."

Mo-se debuted in 2005 with his song "Love."

This article is sort of confusing to me. He accepted their apology but what Hyomin said on twitter has nothing to do with what he said

How important a greeting is for all human relationships..I know better than anyone else..
Because I hate doing things halfway and halfheartedly, I always try my best to show my sincerity in everything I do..speaking honestly, I don’t want to put the blame on the circumstances of the situation but..the truth is that the reason I’m upset is because of the fact that I never meant for anything to seem malicious or intentional..

But from a different perspective, even while thinking yourself that you don’t mean it in that way, I learned from this experience that it could still come across differently.. through this, I was able to reevaluate and reflect upon myself.. clearly feeling the need to work two times, three times harder..

This is more of a reflection rather than about my own feelings.. I’m posting this up after much contemplation and hesitation to do so several times before.
I’ll make sure that this won’t happen again in the future for it to go so far as to be addressed in such a public space as this.
I’m sorry for disappointing all of you and.. thank you for reading all of this.


What Hyomin said. ._. sigh.

Boram's so lucky there were relatively few incidents when she was T-ara's leader... Poor Hyomin having to address all these issues (not that I'm saying they were not wrong, of course)

So many articles of idols being rude nowadays, it makes me sad.
I want to believe that if they didn't greet him it was maybe because they were shy and not because they meant to be disrespectful but idek

Must be tiresome having to remember to bow to every shitty nobody musician in every hallway. Dude is lucky he was allowed to breathe the same air as them without being forced to kiss their feet and carry their luggage.

[ginevragirl.livejournal.com]

For real. I've never heard of this dude until now when he criticizes T-ARA. Lol. Way to get yourself back in the news buddy...

[volume1995.livejournal.com]

ehm

[dorkiilove.livejournal.com]

Well someone needs to check their attitude.

[ginevragirl.livejournal.com]

I feel like I read somewhere that this dude apologized to T-ARA for what he said... but I don't remember where I saw that.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

They probably didn't know he was a senior. This guy sounds like a douche, like he expected them to kneel to him or something and when he didn't get it, went to whine of Twitter.

[angela-derp-otp.livejournal.com]

MOSE is not a nobody in Korea. And he didn't sound like a douche on his tweets, the douchery comes from T-Ara tbqh.

[cc9095.livejournal.com]

They apologized? Don't think it will change T-ARA's attitude.

[ginevragirl.livejournal.com]

I think this Mose dude or whatever his name is should STFU cause no1curr about him.

[askbask.livejournal.com]

Apologizing for this is a bad look. Soyeon had the right idea, until she deleted her tweets.

[threebits.livejournal.com]

what did she say?

[threebits.livejournal.com]

Eunjung also tweeted about it

What Mose sunbae said did not include a lie.. but us, we do not lie too. After we debuted and promoted, we know that our words and actions are very important. We are always cautious. From now on we wont try to create any confusion of this kind in the future and we will try our best too. Observe us with large generosity …!*

[soft-daisy.livejournal.com]

her apology makes more sense than hyomin's...

[devilsatin.livejournal.com]

no1 cares!! she probably just passed by him thinking he was a janitor or something

I was born in Vietnam and my aunt even had received complaint from people regarding me not greeting them when I passed them. Some people just took formality so seriously. I would often walked pass people with my head in the cloud not saying anything. I also felt very awkward when I met people because I didn't know what I was supposed to do... so sometimes I pretended I didn't see them and kept on walking. Some people need to get off their high horse. It's not the end of the world if younger people don't formally greet you. Your ego must be fragile to get bruise so easily. It's not like they sneer at you disrepectfully. If you are that sensitive, before you complain publicly or to another person, please talk to the younger people first so you can "educate" themm please.

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

you can just nod, that saves a lot of trouble, I don't understand why it's so hard for some people to acknowledge other people. I mean yes if you really don't see them it's fine and it can happen to everyone but if you notice... why not? and it's not like you actually have to talk with them.

This comment is partially not directed to you, but to some people here.

[cordyceps.livejournal.com]

T-ara always get shit for this kinda stuff tho. imo it's because 80% of the group always has a look of dull surprise or disinterest on their face.

[4rang.livejournal.com]

Neither side comes off looking all that good in this situation.

T-ara should know better and should have greeted him properly, period. In his tweet he said that he says hello to them first but they just watch him and don't return his greeting, which is ill mannered no matter how you look at it. Mose is not only a sunbae but is older than them as well. But even if you put that aside, ignoring someone's greeting, whoever that person may be, is rude.

But if this bothered him so much a better course of action would have been to talk to them about it rather than taking it to Twitter. T-ara was in the wrong, but complaints on Twitter will obviously be picked up by netizens and eventually find their way into news articles and turn into an unnecessarily big deal.

I think he has some... accumulated buried feeling towards T-ara though.

it's always funny to watch rookies at music shows

90 degree bows to anyone who steps into their field of vision

[obeytheempress.livejournal.com]

hahaha ikr. it's cute though.

[bababerry.livejournal.com]

if i wasnt mistaken, mose is a ballad singer. omona is an idol group centric community, i'm not surprised he's a nugu here.

please note, the man says that this is not a one time thing,
sure he isnt as succesfull as your trendy unnirs. but still a sunbae to them, or at least fellow singer in the biz. its a common courtesy to greet

anyway, this reminds me of the gu ae jung and five dolls scene from the greatest love drama

[devilsatin.livejournal.com]

nope he's also a nugu in korea that hasn't rly even done anything since like 2008

[lovejae23.livejournal.com]

what if it's f(x) lol

[hitme.livejournal.com]

that's so rude, I don't care how "big" you are you should always stay humble and respect everyone.

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

do male idols get the same treatment? i don't recall any articles saying that a male idol wasn't very respectful.

[ferrrrari.livejournal.com]

Was this apart of the performance??

[o-o-mai-o-o.livejournal.com]

uh wth Omona, just because he's a nugu to you guys means he doesn't deserve any respect or to even voice his opinion? lol okay.

Regardless if someone is a musician or just a regular person, if they're saying hello to you and you just stare back at them, that's just rude.

[jibegajima.livejournal.com]

you know how Omona is.
