Jaejoong is So Tired He Has Two Double Eyelids »

Today’s Daily Rant, I’m pretty sure nobody here can disagree with me. Yup, much thanks to the never-thinking-before-leaping CEO of CCM, T-ara now has a new member…the FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD Danee.

Although I’m more towards consistent groups like SNSD or 2NE1 who actually tries to keep their members together, I would have been perfectly fine with After School’s graduating system…that is, if all members get the same number of lines, which they don’t. (cry out for E-young and probably the soon-to-join Gaeun. It was nice because Pledis actually let their members graduate, which means there is still a chance that the newer members get to have a chance to shine.

But not so much with T-ara.

T-ara’s concepts have been a big hit, with I Go Crazy Because of You, Bo Peep Bo Peep, Cry Cry, Roly Poly, as well as Lovey Dovey. However, the concepts suit the adult group as it is. Adding a fourteen-year-old girl within them just won’t do. Not only will the group’s future songs be a little tangled with whether to be cute and full of aegyo or be mature and sexy, but T-ara’s activities will be a lot more limited because well, artists too young of age aren’t always permitted on various programs. (GP-Basic anyone?)

Also, how in the world is the girl going to fit in with such a big age gap between the members? Boram is 26, while the new Danee is 14. How do you even maintain a relationship like that? I know the age gap between Victoria and Krystal is also quite big, but at least they’ve been through a lot together as trainees, and friendship develops from that. On the other hand, while the other older members have done so much and achieved so much, there is a random 14-year old girl that popped out of nowhere to share their achievement. I’m not saying it’s unfair even I think it kind of is, but there will just be something lacking between them, and Danee might have a hard time being accepted by the unnies.

All in all, I am completely against what CCM has decided to put T-ara into. They have finally climbed to the top of KPOP, and now they have to start over again. All I am hoping right now is that the CEO isn’t dumb enough to take members out, because I swear I will be throwing diadems at his company building, just saying.

oh come on people, don’t always think of things so negatively D:
i don’t think it’s such a bad idea seeing as she could bring some new ideas to the group and she could learn from the other members and plus they’d treat her so nicely seeing as she’s the youngest ?


Gosh! What is wrong with CCM? They seriously believe a 14 yr old can blend in with the t-ara members? Poor girl here. She would probably become better if she was not placed into t-ara


If she’s 14 I think it would be hard for her to fit into t-ara.. And they don’t even need new members.. Their perfectly fine the way they are =S .. They should’ve trained mo people and made a new group instead and debuted them when she’s a good age


well i hope they know what they are doing…


I feel bad for the new member, it must be so tough for her to join such an established group while being so young. I think she should be in a different group that fits her better, not that I have anything against T-ara


what are they thinking??? a 14 year old to an adult group? That’s a crazy move, let me tell ya! LOL.. I just feel that a lot of people will be agaainst her being in the T-ara that she’ll have hard time. BUt, hopefully T-ara unnies will be nice to her and take care of their maknae.
One thing I cannot agree in this rant is that you say there will be something lacking between them and they cannot accept her, but that’s something we cannot know, who knows, maybe Danee was with T-ara since T-ara’s trainee days?


I remember hearing CCM say that if any of the T-ara members don’t treat the new girl(s?) well, they’re out of the group!
LIKE WTF?!
T-ara is finally at the top of their game, they’ll have to go through everything with new member(s?)! UGGH.


100% right , she is such a young kid , why in T-ara ~!


I’ve been constantly commenting on this event so there is no point in me repeating it lol. I agree with this rant 100%. This move is entirely stupid. If Danee is as talented as it is being portrayed, then this is just going to be awful for her - her talents will be over shadowed by her age in such a popular group. I feel bad for both Danee and the T-ara girls, and I truly hope that this CEO is fired for such an incredibly stupid move. Or maybe not so stupid. The worst part I think is the fact that T-ara is going to get *more* publicity now because of this event. Even negative publicity is still publicity. If he just wanted attention - he got it. I don’t in the least think that this move is good for the group musically. I just hope everyone involved in this can come out okay.

Fans are scary, especially die hard fans. I remember when Henry and Zhou Mi were added to SuJu M and there was a huge out cry against it. I hope that these two new members aren’t the target of hate because it is not their fault. 


I agree with you, adding a 14 year old into the group just causes a lot more troubles and limitations. They should not put a child into a group with adults.

i feel bad for the t-ara girls as well as this girl.
This girl definitely knows she’s gonna be getting some extreme hate for being the 9th member as well as making them change their adult concept.
but i feel bad for the t-ara girls who worked so hard in order to get to point of success at where they are currently. i don’t really think its fair to add members since they will be gaining instant fame rather than working their way up for it. most of the time i understand member changes and don’t worry about this at all but for a group like t-ara that clearly doesn’t need a member change, i find this member addition extremely pointless

also one more point i forgot to add: i am wondering why these girls aren’t being put into the new group that just came out...it would make more sense to put the 2 members in that new group rather than t-ara
and i wish some of the members would speak out their opinions on this matter, but i know thats not going to happen

I think it’s to early for her to be on the K-pop world… And she’s still underage.. 


My gosh I feel bad for Tara. 


I didn’t hear of this before, but that’s surprising. Why would they even think of doing that?
Well, it seems like they have some kind of idea or else they wouldn’t have put in her in, but I think she will have a hard time because of the age difference. 


I really do agree that she is very young and I don’t think it’s right to add her into T-ara especially when the group is pretty established as it is.  At the same time, she is not the only 14-year old to enter the industry...AKB48 has 14 year olds in the group too.  I’m not trying to make it sound like it’s ok because I don’t think it is, just saying that this isn’t the first time that someone as young has entered the music industry with a pop group to perform in front of this type of audience. 

Nonetheless...this is going to be very awkward and I don’t agree with CCM’s decision. 


She’s too young. but if she got the talent.. the, Why not? Let us give her a try! smile


.....can i be in t-ara then? T_T not fair.

At first I thought having her in T-ara was weird, but now I think it’s stupid to do that to the girl. I think it’s better if she’s in an idol group around her age or having her as a solo artist.

That’s so true! I feel like she’s going to get a lot of criticism because of this, and she’ll be judged more harshly.


She really is too young! T-Ara has always had this sexy concept that I don’t know how this new girl could be able to fit in. Also, the age gap is way too huge, I don;t know how they would be able to interact. Like dracokid007, I agree that this new member should of probably been with another ido group around her age where she could interact more.


I completely agree. T-Ara is awesome the way they are and throwing a kid into the mix just complicates everything. All of the girls in T-Ara are 18 or older; adults. Putting a teenager in there is just not a wise idea.
