So it turns out that Chloe Bennett from Agents of SHIELD was the love interest in the MV for Big Bang's "Tonight". Cool.

I'm aware of the power of makeup but definitely looks like sunhwa got some work done around her eyes&nose..

I could hardly believe that it was her at first, but I think she looks a lot better now though so w/e.

Jonghyun did a good job composing Gloomy Clock on IU's new album, very soothing song. Though I hope they do something again in the future where Jonghyun can make use of his range.

Oh also SHINee M/V teaser

Oh damn I haven't seen the show but that chick is fine. Always had my interest in that MV, much better than the girl in the Blue MV if I recall correctly.

Not sure how I feel about that Shinee teaser. The dance looks pretty cool though.

no, I said that it's retarded that you think 6-ara sucks if you like the rest of their stuff after they became 7-ara/8-ara.
I also found it incredibly funny that you retrospectively consider the new members to be good additions to the group, and furthermore attribute their later mediocrity to the original 6, as if it wasn't the initial combination that made them big in the first place.

the latter half of my post is not really a direct reply, it's just me wistfully hoping for another abs first.

i think you really need to work on your reading skills.
what i said was that i think:
- t-ara is a mediocre group with a bunch of random members
- not the new members fucked them up, but their managment (as in bad pr, bad song choices, filling their schedule till they basically burnout, btw also adding new members is a managment decision)
- remove the new members, keep the same managment, chances are the managment is still as bad as before

i'm not bashing on t-ara, i'm just saying that i do not see the point in "they are 6 again, now everything is fine"

t-ara is a mediocre group with a bunch of random members

mediocre? the only group who stayed on 2nd to snsd in terms of popularity for such a long time (2009ish - 20012)? Random members? sorry but Eunjung, Hyomin and Jiyeon are popular ever since and up to now. They did a lot of popular dramas, movies and countless CF's , their exposure on those are maybe in the same level as snsd's members. People won't give a shit on Hwayoung scandal if they weren't popular

Don't get even started on music sales.

p.s. I just used snsd as a reference, since they are undoubtedly the most popular girl group.

6-ara best T-ara yallreadyknowit

and why excactly ?

the way i see it is this:
they had like 3 good songs while they were 6, which leaves the other 15 to be mediocre at best. then, the managment did a whole bunch of stupid shit and the negative effects were projected onto the new members (at least by some people).
then, the managment did even more stupid shit and drama, all new members left and now you might have the same mediocre kpop group with at least 2 members that noone cares about and the same old shitty managment

you sound like you got into kpop in 2011 or smth
I'm just going to reiterate something about Absolute First whooshing over your head, because if you didn't enjoy that album, you probably don't like a lot of tracks in this genre overall.

A lot of people were already pretty meh about hwayoung joining back in 2010, and the bad management pr didn't happen until late 2011/early 2012 when they were dying from performing too much.

2009-early 2010 was the best era of T-ara, and fans keep expecting another Braking Hart/Absolute First to pop out. With the group back to the original 6 and barring the integration of Dani, hopefully it might happen again. But then again, probably not.

really, 2008-2010 were the best years of kpop r i p

soooo ... you just wrote half a page to say i'm probably right ? thanks

Man, do you really not know how big T-ara was? Bo Peep? Even my grandmother knows that dance dude

no, pretty sure my reading skills are fine.
- I said they were strongest when they were 6, now they're 6 again without baggage. implication is that new, untried members took lines away from the older members, resulting in decreased average exposure for each member. and it's not like the newer members filled a niche none of the original members were unable to.
Your comment about them being random and mediocre is why I think you got into kpop after 2011, because this is akin to saying WG/TVXQ are irrelevant, or declaring Kara to be a bunch of randoms that can't get along with management.
- I mentioned it's both.
- Doesn't make sense because word about bad management didn't reach the public until early 2011, and it's not like they can singlehandedly replace their own boss
