It annoys me so much because there's so much evidence of the bullying.

 

Like the way the other members high dived each other but not Hwayoung, Hwayoung asked for something to eat as they were all getting a snack but they all ignored her and then one of the members gave a lollipop to Hwayoung to eat but said "it's been on the floor".

 

What annoys me further is my 2 favourite members were the biases too..and also a lot of people were canceling the tickets so their upcoming concert are near being cancelled and their fan cafe numbers are decreasing VERY fast.

It sounds horrible, apparently Hyo Min poked her in the eye and Eun Jung shoved a rice cake into her mouth :/ It doesn't even seem like 'oh they're just a bunch of girls being a bit bitchy', it's literally like a high school clique of mean girls bullying an unpopular girl incessantly, seemed like everyone vs. Hwayoung :(

 

Apparently though Kim Kwang Soo wants to put her back in! :mellow:

That Japanese version of I Love You doesn't hold a CANDLE to the original (which might be my favourite Asian song of the year to date with maybe one exception). Why can't Western pop music be that exciting?

 

Western pop is boring so far. This year nothing big really interested me compared to previous years.

 

I Love You is an amazing song, but I hope the English version is released soon. I want it in English and a smash in the UK/US please :D

 

As for T-ara Liam, KKS is wanting to put Hwayoung back? I will FULLY support that decision. PLEASE let it happen as she is an amazing rapper in K-Pop. But someone should f***ing fire CCM's CEO as he's actually a devil. No lies.

When I first heard it, I immediately thought of The Saturdays. Not because it's like them but it's everytime that they flop with a new 'banger' single, the loons (me included tbf!) ask what they need. And the answer is something like this, it already baffles me that the K-Pop groups haven't crossed over yet because it's just amazing pop.

 

I Love You is easily in my top 5 OVERALL of the year so far :o

I sort of agree, I would like her back because she's great but it's not good for her if she's still gonna get bullied :( People are saying the best thing would be for T-ARA to disband, but I don't want that either. All I know tbh is their image is clearly shattered.

T-ara has now lost their title as one of Korea's top girl groups now. SISTAR is probably ahead of them now and they'll just plummet from here.

these koreans really do know how to do pop music. cannot STAY AWAY.

Glad you enjoy Korean Pop music, I think it's a lot more interesting to the mainstream pop music in the west nowadays anyways which gets a little repetitive.

 

This reminds me to update this thread. Full update coming later tonight after my plane journey.

Tbh it's all boys in K-pop lately. Some of the rookie girl groups are OK (I like Crayon Pop and AOA's Elvis is good) but I'm really waiting for the KARA and SNSD comebacks.

2NE1's "Scream" is easily the best K-Pop song I've eveeeer heard! SO GOOD

 

In fact 2NE1 are genuinely the ONLY act who I really really like out of this K-Pop genre~

All I know is Kahi "graduated" from After School and that she's a mega babe. :(

 

Oh well we still have Nana

I have to say I've never really *got* K-pop despite being a fan of J-pop. These girl groups with eleventy billion members don't really DO it for me. I do properly love I Love You mind, it's the best thing I've heard from 2NE1 by some distance.

i think that might be why i like 2NE1 - they only have four members, distinct personalities for each, fantastic image, incredible videos and the songs to back it up.

 

pretty much what you want in *ANY* girlband. except the language barrier adds a touch of mystery so it already 1-UPs others.

Thing is though their English is the best of any K-pop group too, you can hardly tell they're not from America (yeah I know they look Asian, but they could be American-Asian).

 

I mean, Girls' Generation 4LYF and all but have you HEARD Seohyun massacre Sixteen Going On Seventeen?

2NE1 really do totally outstrip all the others tbh, whether they're singing in Korean, Japanese or English. Maybe it's the loon tinted glasses but I think they have easily the best chance interantionally (along with maybe Wonder Girls if they were less generic).

I SAY THIS but it has only really been 2NE1 that I've heard anything from... GG Paparazzi was kinda good but I Love You is heads and shoulders above (after i stopped thinking it was really boring) and I Am The Best is ALRIGHT.

are there substantial distinctive yet modern pop equivalents in other asian countries that aren't japan and korea?

I'm a huge fan of Chinese artist SingerSen. She has 2 EPs, both of which are amazing.

2NE1 when it comes to Japanese are very.....let's say crap even though CL is meant to be fluent in it? Their Japanese pronunciation is wonky donky in their Japanese version of Korean songs.

 

@Tom Kay, I think we're just alone in thinking that Girls' Generation >>> 2NE1. :(

Love it :lol:

 

I don't think it's worse than T-Ara's to be fair. Isn't CL the rapper anyway?
