Are you just realizing this? Cause that's the only reason she's in the group in the first place lol. And it's cause she has no stage presence.

I'd rather T-ara get smaller than larger honestly. Don't like either really (unless you tell me they're axing Hwayoung, I'm ok with that) but they won't take out Soyeon (good vocals) or Hyomin/EJ/PJY- overwhelming popularity- so more screen time for them is good for me. As for whoever suggested KMK in T-ara, that would suck IMO, not because I hate KMK or the idea of her dressing up in weird cute/sexy (depending on the demands of KKS ofc) but because I like Davichi more and she gets more attention in a duo than in part of a massive dance group.

Because I missed a days worth of discussion:

Secret real good. Actually like their pre-Shy Boy stuff to their post. I want you back remains my favorite promoted title track by them and one of my favorite kpop songs in general. Posting the acoustic version because I'm assuming everyone who is remotely interested in Secret has already heard the regular version:

Rainbow is doing well by kidol in Japan standards, hype is still overblown by Korean media though (as is with most Hallyu shit). Still mostly due to the Kara association than anything else IMO.

Glad I wasn't here for smiley face guy, although now that the thread is supposedly getting more attention I don't see why whoever complained just didn't report him for shit posting. As for the thread being shitty lately, I think it's cause, as people have noted, fewer of the old, quality posters are posting with any regularity- GTR, TuElite for the past day apparently, and Unichan- although if someone made creeper comments about me like Shock did I'd probably stay away too, which means there's a relatively higher amount of shitty posters in here.

Well I've been lurking this thread for the past 700+ pages, I think I finally feel like posting and becoming more active in it. =D

In regards to the whole T-ARA stuff I just recently started to like their music so I'm not too familiar with how the group might change from the differences in members and things. I tend to not be super critical with the kpop I listen to so I doubt I will care much as long as it is still catchy.

Since we're starting to talk about Secret, Love is Move is actually what got me listening to them in the first place. I think it was actually a combination of the song and Hyosung. Secret does have quality songs which is super awesome.

Would you guys agree to the generalization that these girls are the most beautiful women on the face of this earth?

Nah there's models and shit that are hotter. I've said it before but if the only reason I was into kpop was hot korean women I'd obsessively stalk korean models online instead.

KPop idols are mostly nice because of the girl next door appeal.

I also think Love is Move is one of the worst songs Secret has done.

I wouldn't say the most beautiful, but it definitely shifted my taste in women a bit. Like Dystopia said, it isn't the reason I got into kpop.

As for the Secret discussion, the only reason I know of them is because I like Jieun's voice. Just took a listen to some of their stuff from a page ago. They seem underrated considering how good a lot of their stuff sounds, although Love is Move sounds meh.

I'd say a big reason they're underrated is that TS isn't a huge company, especially when Secret was debuting. I'm actually surprised they managed to get BAP to be relevant too, since Secret largely only got popular cause they got lucky with Magic and later Shy Boy (Madonna did well too but didn't see as much of a dramatic popularity shift)

the only T-ara members that I'd be ok with them replacing are Boram and Hwayoung.

I like Boram. She doesn't contribute much but I like the original group. Might be nostalgia for the better T-ara days, before KKS decided that they needed a different concept everytime around. Before they could just put out good music and that would be that. Now it's indians, retro, 15 minute mvs and a song dedicated to shuffling.

Wasn't there a big Starlight Moonlight fan here? They posted like every perf or something. I only remember because that got me into that song. After watching like 50 perfs, I couldn't not like it.. (Maybe Sed?)

I do second actresses generally being better looking than kpop stars. Exceptions all around, as always. Yoo In Na so good though from the post above.
