Kim Kwang Soo, CEO of Core Contents Media, said, “I want to raise Shannon like the second BoA. She has a lot of potential and talent.”

why not solo her ~_~

Is it confirmed? My guess is they didn't think she is marketable on her own to Koreans, due to being a halfbreed as it were, regardless of vocal talent.

Look at all the foreign singers of Korean descent they drag from around the world. Consider for every Ailee there are 1000 black American girls with that kind of voice. I see why they might want her in a group, just wish it was not T-ara.

Still doubt it, 14 is pushing it, even for T-ara.

fuck yea EXO

really like MAMA, although the screamo part is a bit .. awkward. but the video/choreography/everything is pretty badass

easily my favorite group since some of the very early teasers, and they definitely delivered, for me anyway

Yeah, she would look really out of place in T-ara if that is in fact the case, I'm sceptical

they wont debut a 14 year old girl who has only been in korea a few years and even less so as a trainee into t-ara, it would be catastrophic.

then again, I think them adding anyone at all unless they are both Kim Tae Hee and Taengoo to be bad

Well, if she is as good as they say vocal wise, CCM might try and mold her into a solo artist or the next SeeYa/Davichi ballad group which would seem more likely, and she would just recieve atleast 2 more years of training(debuting at about 16-17), I really doubt theyl add a 14year old to T-ara, I mean I can see her doing loly poly or something, but not Cry Cry or IGCBOY.

Either way, I don't think it would be a very good fit.

That was far from "screamo".

Shannon Pix, Half Korean/British, and has a pretty crazy voice. (opera singing included) Was on Star King in 2010.

Why they would spell it 섀넌 instead of 샤넌 is a mystery to me. Sounds like how a yank would pronounce it. "Shaay-non".

From the US, we would pronounce it like 샤넌 too, or at least I would. It is kind of weird unless she actually does pronounce her name like that.

oh shit I remember watching some yt videos about that girl a while back. she wasn't that bad vocally considering her age, but voice changes and other factors could be different now.
I remember thinking she was going to be attractive when she got older.

I'd be ok with this decision if this member adding business was 3 years in the future.

her real name is Shannon Williams iirc

'cause it's much easier and or cheaper for them to get their trainees out into existing groups with established fan base. Plus it has the effect of increased publicity (same as rumours that member(s) may be leaving)

Wow, first look I took at her and I thought she looked like an alien... facial features look kinda wide hahaha
I guess best of luck to her...? and someone said she's half Korean?.. what's her other half.
