I'll say it now, Crayon Pop is alright in my books but there are some major issues.
1) their fashion style, I've yet to see any of them in that great of looking outfits. their outfits in their MV looks like they were taken from the 90's or older.
2) the twins. seriously 1 of their faces was bad enough; 2 is overkill? really?

Whaaaat. The twins are #1 and their outfits are awesome.

Hmm, I dunno, I don't think so....

Gee was pretty much introduction into Kpop for most people.

Gangnam style is more of a "lol weird korean people" to most people watching it.

Is the general attitude against T-ara or just CCM? This shitstorm is so hard to follow ._.

edit: Or hwayoung? (which I doubt but thought I'd leave that in there)

Not quite sure what they're trying to do with the LMFAO guys, but it's kinda making me mad.

No, there are distinct differences between the workloads of different groups. The hours and dieting is pretty extreme during promotions, but you usually aren't doing multiple promotions and acting at the same time and without breaks for months or years at a time.

T-ara is forced to attend other members events even when they have no direct involvement, which I don't think is the norm for the industry.

t-ara is overworked, i remember hearing about their lack of food and strict diets from hyomin on I.Y., then a year later, i heard that t-ara members hasn't had a day off since debut, then ccm adding members, threatening to remove unwanted members...

what a terrible thing, not only are these big label artists in korea treated like work-horses, but then they have to put up with terrible management

t-ara has really grown on me since roly poly, and this is such a shame, not sure if we'll ever find out the truth

General consensus on KMD is...
CCM sucks at PR, and group management.
KKS is an ass hole.

Hwayoung is more split. some think she's lazy, others pity her.
