No reposting of old material unless justified
Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.

So I dont think they are gonna have any issues with appearing on tv/tv shows after they make their korean comeback, only time will tell I guess, but I highly doubt it
You're delusional if you believe that. Nobody was willing to put them on major dramas; most if not all of their sponsors have dropped them. Anybody that doesnt follow kpop news closely, or anything T-ara related, would just instantly connect anything about them to bullying. In fact, I'm willing to bet a lot of people that frequent this thread still have large reservations about the authenticity of those exonerating articles.
There's a reason CCM didn't let any of the members do a live interview or appear on any talk shows since that shitslinging started. Only time will soothe over public misconceptions/negative mindsets, so whatever you may think about KKS being completely incompetent, he's doing the smart thing by pulling T-ara out of Korea, at least for the time being. Besides, with the amount of experience that CCM has in Japan with Supernova, it shouldn't be that much of a stretch for them to entrench themselves in Japan. At least, that's my conjecture.
Pretty much spot on. They need to chill from Korea for a bit so promoting in Japan for a while was the next best thing for T-ara. Once the majority of Koreans start getting over the bullying shit is when T-ara will start appearing on TV shows etc.
And LOL at all the comments about T-ara fans overreacting to comments about T-ara, so ironic.

That's exactly what CCM wants.. time to heal the damage done to them. And it's not rumors, it's called speculation. But believe whatever you want to believe lol.

Idol Olympics was what, less than a month ago? And even then they were still cut out of everything.
Kinda proves your "they'd be let on shows now" theory false doesn't it.

OK.
They weren't on shows, they went to the location and did shit and didn't make it onto the program. So yeah they were there but attendance doesn't mean shit if they got no screentime.

what happened with ivy and hyori? (no i don't have amnesia, just never knew)
Hyori was involved with some plagiarism thing if I remember correctly, I don't even think it was her fault, it's the producers of the song and/or album but w/e.
This happens all the time and people will forget, it is just a matter of time. Same thing happened with Kang Hodong, he went away for a year (or two?), came back and is still loved by the korean public, or at least I know I still enjoy that man.
Plz don't try to be a smartass. I've already googled that and I get nothing out of it/the info is inaccurate.
i think cali had two kpop concerts last year. they usually announce it 2-3 months prior and i don't think there is anything scheduled atm. only way to keep track to see if something comes up again is the standard kpop news sites i guess. usually have an excellent lineup.
i think the last one was headlined by 2ne1/snsd and they had ticket selling problems, i remember they ended up moving people with cheap seats up to fill all seats that were closer. maybe tickets overpriced? i can't remember.
later they'll air the concert on korean tv to brag about the hallyu taking over america!!!!
edit: oh yeah, f(x) is performing in austin texas soon if you wanna see that.

more like eliminated first round in every event instead of edited out. eunjung hosts some music show now and hyomin has been on a few variety shows in the past month or so. they'll be able to properly comeback next time, with the full promotional circuit. april/may comeback has been hinted iirc but who knows.

I have seen them perform the on korean tv many times since the scandal broke out, so yeah obviously they were cot out of everything werent they in performing Hong Kong or some place at the time of Idol olympics?
But yeah things seem to be heading to the right direction, and by the time they make their korean comeback everything will most likely be back to normal

As people have mentioned music shows were the exception.
And no, they were there. They just didn't get shown. There's fancams and shit.

I meant that suddenly the media seems to forget, not saying that people that don't know have amnesia, lol.
hyori released the album 'h-logic' ~2 years ago or so that had half its tracks plagiarized. blame was heaped on the producer but come on hyori, how did you miss the fact that one of your songs sounds exactly the same as 'watcha say', an international hit? admittedly he sampled another song for that track but that's beside the point. btw hyori hasn't put anything out since that album. food for thought.
ivy scandals were even older, around 2008-2010. summarily, it was a string of bad publicity - mv plagiarisms, shit talking over half the idol scene, dating scandal with wheesung, inappropriately provocative mvs, and a sextape scandal. dropped out completely before making a comeback early last year.
hence, you can see why I don't think T-ara will be, nor should be, making a Korean comeback this year.
As far as albums she didn't release anything, but this song was released in 2011 after the whole plagiarism thing. I think it was posted here when it came out. + Show Spoiler [Lee Hyori - 기억해] +
