Xoxo, Eezah ★~(◡‿◡✿) T-ara controversy on Monday, July 30, 2012
Honestly, i didn't expect to see the day where i'll be typing out a post about T-ara
But oh wells. The day has come.
So basically you guys would have known it by now.
Yes, our precious Hwayoung have terminated her contract with CCM and will no longer be with T-ara.
Even broadcasting companies such as SBS would not want to call T-ara to appear on their shows anymore.
"A big surprised captured" when the SBS PD Ryu Cheolmin left a post on his Facebook, "Aigoo Hwayoungah. Ah this oppa will not reach out to T-ara in the future."
Ryu PD's remarks are in response to Core Contents Media's CEO Kim Kwangsoo announcing he is terminating Hwayoung's contract with T-ara, which is currently attracting an enormous amount of attention.
And also those sponsorship companies such as Tony Moly
Tony Moly said their phone-line is going crazy by people who won’t buy if T-ara is on it, but they canceled Hwayoung’s contract :/ Tony Moly is “embarrassed” by this situation and T-ara’s contract with them expires at the end of August CR: n_athaniel@twitter
So as you guys can see. T-ara & CCM are in real deep shit.
Tony Moly have also started to cover their t-ara merchandise.
Also, K Queens have burned their t-ara albums and tore their posters, venting their hatred and disappointment towards T-ara.
And to think all this started out from the bullying rumors.
I had my own doubts about my rumors since there wasn't any LEGIT proofs.
I mean. Hyomin/the rest of the member's tweets could be referring to another case. Like those indirect tweets that makes 123456 people feel guilty?
Yea. That was my guess.
But then again....
Ever since rumors about T-ara member conflicts began circling online, netizens have been pooling together what they believe is proof of the bullying.
Posted on various online websites, netizen claim that T-ara has been bullying Hwa Young on various television shows, playing off their actions as a joke.
Several screen captures of the group show Hwa Young, sitting at a distance away from the group. One picture showed Hyo Min poking Hwa Young in the eye, while another showed Hyo Min covering Hwa Young away from the camera.
Others showed Eun Jung, forcefully stuffing a large rice cake into Hwa Young’s mouth, despite her scrunched up face. The other members laughed as this was going on.
When T-ara was featured for KBS’ Star Life Theater, Eun Jung revealed her personal discomfort and hesitation in adding one or two members to the group, believing that it could ruin the atmosphere of the team.
Also on the same show, Ji Yeon negatively remarked that she has never seen Hwa Young reading a book before and it’s for show since there is a camera.
While some of these claims by netizens seem forced to fit the situation, in light of the drama that has been happening, netizens are inclined to believe that some of the jokes that T-ara members played on Hwa Young during the broadcast were gradual hints that lead to the controversy that happened on July 30.
I admit that this article is a little suspicious, no?
And also recently:
Around 1650 this appeared on Eunjung’s Cyworld Diary
Everyone, I made her a wangtta. I’m sorry.
Wangtta = outcast/loner
So. Maybe the bullying rumors were true after all.
To be honest, i really, REALLY, want to believe that Hyomin, Eunjung Jiyeon and the other members are innocent. But with these evidences and CCM, it's not giving me any good reason to believe them.
I was honestly devastated upon hearing the news, considering the fact that T-ara is one of my top 3 favorite kpop group.
It would be a lie if i said that i'm still gonna support them full-heartedly.
Let's face it. It's hard to see T-ara the same way again like last time.
Though i'll still support them for their music, but i'll never stan them like how i did last time, sad to say.
I really think Hwayoung deserves to be in a better company. Cause right now, CCM is making SM look like an angel.
Hwayoung is truly an amazing rapper. And i'm sure her talent will be much recognized and will be put to good use.
HOWEVER, NOT ALL HOPE IS LOST
[12.07.30] Kim Kwangsoo, "There is a possibility for Hwayoung to re-join.."
Core Contents Media, who just have announced they terminated Hwayoung’s contract with T-ara after being with the group for 20 months.
Hwayoung, who joined the team later than the rest, has been the center of the hot topic of “being bullied” by other members.
T-ara fans think that this is wrong or are very shocked by the announcement. And now fans are rooting for the most desired situation: a peace between Hwayoung, T-ara and the agency so that she can return
On the 30th, Kim Kwangsoo said to Star News, “If Hwayoung truly realizes her wrongs, it’s possible to talk with the T-ara members and staff about her rejoining. Once again, this is if Hwayoung looks over her previous actions and self-reflects so she does not repeat the same behavior.
Clearly, the probability of this situation is low, but there is a small glimpse of a reverse situation happening. Right now, it’s left for Hwayoung to decide.

Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem
It's pretty retarded and nonsensical as to why Hwayoung would want to join back to a group that abuses her in public and has to "self-reflect" upon her actions and apologizes when that poor girl merely injured her ankle.
Whatever it is, i'll still love & support Hwayoung no matter what her decisions are.
So let's not be butthurt and burn all our t-ara albums and posters, but to continue supporting Hwayoung and not send any hate mails to CCM/T-ara because i'm pretty sure thousands across the globe has already done so.
So for now. Let's just calmly wait for Hwayoung's response and see how CCM will still try to "save" the situation.
Like i said, i'm not going to go around throwing away my albums (ahem i still have my autographed Yayaya album with Hwayoung's signature IN YO FACE) and i'm still waiting for my Day by Day album to arrive because i'd paid good money for that.

OPPA GANGNAM STYLE! on Friday, July 27, 2012
So today i'll be talking about Psy's latest music video, "OPPA GANGNAM STYLE!"
/cue horseback dance movement
Okay. Straight to the point.
This music video is pure genius.
It's totally Psy's style. Like you can except something like this from him.
It just makes you feel like stopping everything that you're doing and just following the dance.
Whether you're going to school or to the toilet OR IN THE LIFT. (just go get someone to lie below you)
Conclusion:
Non-kpopers have Party Rock Anthem. We kpopers have Gangnam Style! \o/
The fact that this video has quite a number of hidden idols in it makes it even more exciting for us to watch.
Like, who would have guessed those two old dudes playing smth like chess(?) were actually Daesung & Seungri (say whaaat?!)
And the fact that Psy's sticking out his tongue... Hmm..
And of course. Who would have missed Hyuna.
Adorably doing the horseback riding movement with Psy underneath her....
Best part of the music video:
Of course. Psy screaming at a girl's ass.
....
Awesomeeeeeeeeeeee \o/
All in all, this music video is totally not a disappointment.
It kind of like, brings up your mood during a bad day when you listen to it as the images of him screaming at a lady's ass and horseback riding movements.
.. Seriously. I was so close to horseback riding all the way to my school LOL.
Oh. And the boys in my art class couldn't stop blasting this song and doing the horseback riding movement LOL.
Ahh, i love my Art class~
So anywaiz. The moral of the story?
You don't need swag if you're as cool as this guy.
Psy: Cooler than your oppars since 1977
Xoxo, Eezah ★~(◡‿◡✿) RazorTV! on Wednesday, July 25, 2012 Super Kpop Dance Semi Finals on Monday, July 23, 2012
So yesterday was the semi finals for the Super Kpop Dance Season 2
I reached there around 10.15am(?) to get my make-up done.
The lady that did my make-up was pretty nice. She wasn't so chatty. Making a small chats here and there.
I was a little nervous as it has been so long since a stranger applied make-up to my face lol.
She seemed to envy my eyes & eyelashes though. One of her colleagues came over to help her do for me my eyelashes. And while she was doing it, she was like saying to me, "I'll pluck out all your eyelashes and sell them."
.... that was very traumatizing....
So this was how my face looked like. I felt bad if i erased it cause i would just be wasting their efforts ><
But yay i got my smoky eyes ♥ LOL a little too smoky.
LOL okok 3 lesser scary pictures on how i look like on that day.
The event started around 2pm. NeoN was the first guest performer. And Cheyenne was the first to kick start the competition.
I was the third. And my backstage experience wasn't so good. I felt like vomiting a few times. But i couldn't, since i'm fasting and the only thing i could puke out was my break fast in the morning and the acid.
So i tried to ignore the feeling.
Sooner or later it was my turn to perform.
I did a T-ARA mashup, consisting of Cry Cry, Time to Love 2 & I Go Crazy Because of You.
Just nice. I could only last till the end of TTL2 before i had to stop and the puke nearly came out from my mouth.
It was super horrible. Worst experience ever.
.. Actually. I would have fainted on stage. But puking seems better in this case.
Headed to the toilet to cool myself down. Thanks to Anna & Rayna for accompanying me ♥ ♥
I was really grateful for the organizers for giving me a second chance to perform. But i had to like perform after everyone has finished performing T__T And the last one was Leggo OTL major decrease in self-esteem. But yay i managed to talk to them at backstage weeeee major fangirl *__*
I had to break my fast on that day.... Please forgive me.
However, it just got worse as i started suffering from gastric pain OTL
So while everyone was performing, i was down there trying to think how to get rid of the pain in my tummy.
But thank god, everything went well during my second try. Thank you universe ♥
Even though it wasn't my full out, atleast it was better than puking again.
Meet Hanna from Last Minute! (and Edward the photo bomber)
Oh, and Kenneth! Probably one of the best guy you'll ever meet!
And of course. Elle & Anna for always being there for me ♥
So after everything, they had games and guest performers and stuffs.
And i was just sitting there. Feeling disappointed with myself.
'cause really, it would be a miracle if the judges called out my name saying i got through to the finals.
I tried believing in myself. But i was just too depressed to even think when they were calling out the names.
So of course. My name wasn't called out.
And i just went home feeling like shit.
I went home to my family busy getting ready for break fast.
As i walked past my mum, she asked, "So how was the performance?"
So i started explaining how i nearly puked on stage and how embarrassing it was and i probably will get a phobia of going on stage again.
And it just makes me more sad to think how i feel like i've disappointed my parents in a way that's not academical.
So i just lay down on my couch while my family were busy setting up the dining table.
Trying to force myself to not be sad.
"But trying to use willpower to overcome the apathetic sort of sadness that accompanies depression is like a person with no arms trying to punch themselves until their hands grow back ", quoted from Allie
Trying to think of the positive side of the event instead of the negative side.
But to no avail.
Essentially, I was being robbed of my right to feel self pity, which is the only redeeming part of sadness.
So then i tried using my willpower to think positively again instead of thinking how i'm probably not good enough for the judges which leads to me being not good enough for everyone.
But whenever i tried to think of the bright side, the negative side will just jump back in and i'll just be sad all over again.
So this pretty much described how i was feeling.
And the cycle repeats.
I would really like to thank the dance off peeps for showing their concern for me on that day.
And yes, i shall list down their names because i'm that touched.
Rayna. Kenneth. Maya. Annabelle. Ina. Joyce. Shi hui.
(i hope i didn't miss out anyone lol)
And also the staff lady that offered her mint sweets & a drink for me before i went up on stage for the second time.
If i could, i would really have showered you guys in glitters and rainbows for your concern.
So after all that mixed feelings, I've finally settled on one decision.
Xoxo, Eezah ★~(◡‿◡✿) Labels: lolol credits to hyperboleandahalf for those awesome accurate pictures No Mercy on Saturday, July 21, 2012
To all you BABYs out there, get ready to scream your lungs out.
'Cause B.A.P HAS MADE A COMEBACK \o/
Okay. I guiltily admit that i was a little late at watching their comeback. And i watched it during class ..
I'm a bad example. Don't follow me (my teacher forgot that she had two periods with my class anywaiz. not my fault XD)
Anywaiz, yes guys. B.A.P has made a comeback with their song 'No Mercy'.
It's indeed very catchy. With the strong rock-n-roll beat with Zelo & YongGuk's swag-ish rapping and then the smooth vocals by Daehyun & Youngjae.
It really gives off the old school feeling.
Video wise, it's very cool, if that's the correct word to use. With the blinged stereo and studded hammer & whistle. And the wall covered in aluminium foils.
Yepyep. Pretty badass, i must say.
In my honest opinion, it was a pretty disappointing comeback.
Now now, before you all go chasing after me with your studded hammers and swords, let me explain.
Compared to Warrior & Power, this song is pretty... below expectations?
I mean. With those two songs, we all would have like, gotten a very powerful badass image of B.A.P
This song is still badass.
But it's more of a swag-ish badass, instead of the powerful badass :/
It feels like i'm watching a Block B's video
Same goes for the dance.
Exception for the dance break. It was still pretty cool and B.A.P-ish
I don't know. It just gives off the Block B feel :/
Generally i think the song is pretty dope and quite catchy. /BOOM CLAP BOOM BOOM CLAP
Especially the chorus. /NO NO NO MERCAYEEEEE~
And their live performances seems decent too. (i just don't understand the purpose of those guys with big drums and tall feather hats appearing for the dance break)
It was just a little disappointing since i'd expected more from the song, after Warrior & Power.
Other than that, no hate intended :3
So now. I hope tomorrow i will have some mercy for my performance.
For those living in Singapore and are free tomorrow, do head down to Novena Square 2 to support me at the Super Kpop Dance Contest Season 2! Starts at 2pm.
Hope to see you guys there! ♥
