So with Dani being the ninth member, who was a child picked up like a street walker, it’s rumored that trainee Areum Lee will be T-ara‘s eighth member.
Unlike Dani, she looks old as hell, so maybe they picked her out in a nursing home.
Areum Lee is a trainee under Core Contents Media (CCM) and she fits the description that CCM gave last month, “The newly added 8th member of T-ara is 18 years old (19 in Korea) and possesses a great visual and talent. The new member will work with T-ara for their upcoming album starting this summer.”
Areum Lee is described as being very beautiful and vocally talented, she is also 18 years old (19 in Korea) and boasts a height of 5’6″. In addition to fitting the description, there are rumors that her friends prematurely congratulated her on joining the group through social networking sites.

She’s either:
1) Not actually 18.
2) The female Benjamin Button.
Seriously though, she looks like a muppet.
Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
She looks young to me :o
That second picture looks like she’s at least 30.
I honestly don’t see it >_<"
It's probably my optimistic mind deluding my objectification of age.
She seems refreshing and pure though. I'm sure through the magic of makeup she'll gain more acceptance :)
She looks like most idols to me minus having a stylist so….
You could land a 747 on her forehead.
I didn’t want to say it but when they get her that real stylist, they’ll give her some fringe. It worked wonders for Rihanna.
I don’t know..I’m pretty excited for 9ara
Whether they like it or not..their old members are still there so I don’t see much point of being unhappy and naggy
She looks 30, but only after having a facelift (which is why her facial features are all distorted), so she’s actually 45.
Two 21 year olds or a 12 and a 30. All the same
Looks like a little girl to me.
shame cause older women are hottar.
Bitch please most unnirs look like that without make up
No.
lol ‘she looks like a muppet’
She looks like a normal 19 year old to me. >_>
She’s a strange one
She doesn’t look that old, but she does look a bit awkward. It could just be the photos. She might be the most attractive in the group.
We just have to wait stylist to do their magic

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO RUIN NICOLE TO ME
I love Nicole, she is my fav in Kara… I have very clear in my mind that idols without makeup are just average people
Yes i know,she’s also my bias :o, but sometimes is nice to forget it lol
Btw, do you know when Nu’est is coming back?
They say they’ll be back this summer so july or august. I hope they make something good and don’t touch my princess gender-bender
yeah totally seconding that, i really hope Baekho keeps the mohawk -m- i love the fact that he looks like Mblaq’s Seungho and G.O.’s secret lovechild lol
i know k-pop stars looks way different without all the makeup and styling, but Nicole is just..a league of her own.
That Jessica picture is before plastic surgery.
The other two are still more attractive without makeup.
Seohyun can always go to a dermatologist, Areum can’t fix that landing strip on her head.
Is that bottom right Jessica?! I stared at it for a full five minutes trying to figure out who she was…
I guess male idols would look just as bad without makeup? Plastic surgery and barefaced shaming doesn’t get covered as much for the guys compared to the girls lol.
I am convinced SK has the best stylists in the world.
Oh come on… she’s not the prettiest girl ever (really not), but it’s hard to judge someone with just a few predebut no make-up pics. She doesn’t look that bad in some of those : http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m41n7dkood1qh6f6to1_500.jpg
She looks cute in those.
Looks good there.
Although I think CCM should leave T-ara alone, this at least looks like a more natural addition to the group.
The 12-year old will be a disaster, though.
She looks like those online shop models there. KKS probably spotted her in a gmarket page.
So is CCM trying to make T-ara the next AKB48? I wonder when they will reveal the next 40 members.
lol, she looks old to you? yeah, you’re definitely asian :] btw she looks like the girl from coffe prince to me. At least her description said something about vocal talent, the 12 year old’s desciption didn’t sound talented at all. Adding more talentless visuals to T-ara who will barely have lines is so pointless -.- a part of me was hoping they would actually take some members out when I heard that rumour. idk, I don’t wish them luck with this
Only rumored? Because Diadem people were pretty sure she would be the 8th member. Already have 300+ photos of her there.
It’s rumored until it’s officially announced.
does anyone else find it ridiculous that CCM threatened to kick out any members who didn’t work hard and don’t deserve to be in the group and then say they are adding a new member who has ZERO training, and did absolutely nothing to deserve to be in the group just because she was pretty and the CEO is a pedophile?
Everybody, especially considering T-ara already bordered on indentured servitude.
:o
