CCM’s Kim Kwang Soo confirms his trolling of T-ara, comes off as an illogical mess

Core Contents Media CEO Kim Kwang Soo confirmed today that T-ara will add two new members and become a nine member group, with the two newbies to be unveiled in July.

On April 6th, Kim Kwang Soo stated, “T-ara will be changed from the current seven members to a nine member centered system, and if needed, member changes as well as member additions will be decisively executed.”

The two new members will start promoting with T-ara starting in July of this year with the release of a new album.

Kim Kwang Soo explained that the reason for the addition of members is for the expansion and development of the group. “I’ve seen a portion of the celebrities I’ve created become conceited and idle about three years after they’ve risen to popularity. Although T-ara is working hard, to show them that they must continue to try and work even harder on stage as well as off stage, I have decided to implement changes,” he stated.

Translation: “It’s not broke, but I’m going to try to fix it anyway!

After the news of the addition of new members, many had expressed their concerns and anxieties, however Kim Kwang Soo thought differently.

He commented, “Even now with new girl and boy groups debuting left and right every month, they are working hard for more than ten hours a day… In situations like these, if they find safety in thinking ‘We are one of the top groups in Korea’, they can never progress. T-ara has worked tirelessly to challenge themselves in new ways, and they’re still doing so now.”

If they are working ten hours a day, then how are they being complacent?

He continued, “We will try even harder to make sure that no controversy arises from their greetings or attitude. If there is a member within T-ara who does not work hard and becomes full of herself, and as a result causes harm to other members, I will decisively exchange that member in question with a new member. That is the way that T-ara can go from being just Korea’s T-ara to a group that goes beyond Asia to stand at the center of K-Pop.”

Nobody is complacent or lazy in the group, BUT I’M DOING THIS JUST IN CASE SOMEBODY MAY BECOME LAZY IN THE FUTURE!

What the fuck kind of logic is that?

Either he is fucking delusional and paranoid about a ton of shit or this is all a front so he can just add the members he wants.

As I said before, I don’t REALLY care regardless, but he comes off unstable and illogical as fuck.

  1. Well, I don’t really know/care much about T-ara, but for what I’ve seen the fans are not amused with this explanation.

    • They seemt o want the CEO dead, in jail, or sued horribly bad with that lawsuit that just came up.. like… geez I wouldn’t pray for someone to get sued and blame it on karma just because he added two new girls to a group. “LOL! He’s getting sued!! Serves him right for doing that to T-ara! SM is starting to look better now lol! He’s so EVIL!” Like….. wow

  2. While this move could shoot them to the top, if it goes badly this could divide the fandom.
    6-ara vs. 7-ara vs. 9-ara.

    Honestly though, will this really help them topple SNSD? SNSD has made their mark on the industry already so a decline is expected anyways.

  3. imagine the fanwars

    JIGEUMEUN T-ARA SHI DAE!!!
    APPEURODO T-ARA SHI DAE!!!
    YEONGWONHI T-ARA SHI DAE!!!

    POWER OF NINE!!!

    i’ll actually look forward to this

  4. Fuck yeah. Bring on the Power of Nine delusional bitches.
    I’ll just sit back and watch those fans being dumbasses just like when they started shit over AS or 9 muses. :D
    We need moar 9 members group in Kpop, I’m sick of the shit if some group have 9 members = SNSD copy cat. Bitches even accuse Jpop FLOWER of copying SNSD even tho they’re not even the same damn genre.
    Moar 9 members group, less important this whole 9 member crap will be.

    • Sones will accuse any girl group with 9 and up as copying then. Arent they a morning musume rip off themselves? T-ara fans dont even want 9 members.

  5. Here we go, a kpop Armageddon about a particular fucking number. There should be a tournament or something so fanclubs can duke it out with each other. It should be a fight till the death with any kind of weapon of choice…..except firearms. The stage would have hidden traps and obstacles too. If things get boring, a group of lions will be release into the field.
    I’ll be up in the stands: “Dance puppets, DANCE!”

  6. I don’t see the upside to going public with this.

    Adding two new members – fine. But, why the whole spiel about T-ara being lazy, etc? Why not keep that inside the company and warn the girls privately?

    All he succeeded in doing was pissing off loyal T-ara fans and giving any talented potential future trainees second thoughts about signing up to work for this douchebag.

  7. Waiting for sones to claim they invented the number 9 now. That’s always funny to watch.

  8. He is punishing the seven members for complaining publicly about being slave driven non stop by him & the company. I’m sure this is exactly what he means by ‘lazy and full of herself’. I hate him and his ugly pug face.

  9. To be honest, as a die-hard Sone (27000 SNSD plays on Last.fm boy), there is never the sort of controversy from our side as the mainstream K-pop fandom would like to have you believe. People on SSF just pretty much get on with their own thing, stanning Soshi. The real drama only occurs on AKP and old-6theory forums, but now that the forums are shit, there isn’t even much activity there anymore.

    Plus, most of the comments regarding the whole nine membered band thing are usually about “OMG, stop arguing about it!” when in reality, there are only a very small handful of people who would feel strongly about it either way.

    This is from the international perspective, I don’t know how crazy K-fans are when it comes to group sizes. But let’s be honest, for many Sones, SNSD are so far ahead of the pack that it is presumptuous to think we’d be concerned about what T-ara becoming a nine member group will do to SNSD’s popularity; if anything, adding new members just dilutes T-ara’s existing fanbase.

  10. So they are not going to kick Boram out, fuck
    more members is cool
    no kicking the lazy ass boram out is NOT COOL!!

  11. Just keep making Hyomin showing off her assets and im cool with anything !

  12. k-media is making the CEO’s drama such a big mess. kudos or the media, served their purpose.
