Date: 2012-01-04 05:49 am (UTC)Then I scrolled down and I almost cried when I saw the close up pic of Kim Boa
I don't know why but it was horrifying.
The uneven-ness of her face reminded me of the guy that tried to grab Taeyeon off the stage.

no subject
Date: 2012-01-04 11:17 am (UTC)she was with original 5 member t-ara and got dissatisfied with the concepts bc she thought they were going to do ~serious~ music but t-ara ended up doing bpbp, etc. she convinced another girl (jiae) to leave t-ara/CCM too and t-ara got really popularity while the two of them haven't debuted till now. idk what jiae's doing now. :/
but i'm looking forward to this group anyway, they seem impressive/badass so far
