Saw this article:
Jewelry’s former member Jo Harang responds to anti hateThis kinda makes you stop for a second and think how horrible it must be for those 6 other girls if what they're accused of doing really isn't as bad as it's being made out to be
. I mean, it's not like
we're the ones returning tickets, demanding they be taken off shows, and burning shirts, but I haven't entirely stopped to really think how bad it is for them (at least, not without subconsciously thinking "lolol just deserts." afterwards
). I mean, I do believe Hwayoung was most likely ostracized, which DOES make me look at the girls differently, but there's a good chance it's just blown way out of proportion and they're just being crucified, which sucks, because I definitely don't wish that on them.
Also, has anyone ever mentioned this here? Not new, but I find it interesting considering the recent events:
http://kpopyourlife.blogspot.com/2012/07/k-pop-news-t-aras-new-member-areum.htmlTo me, this further establishes that netizens are ridiculous. When you're not famous, you can make these kinds of comments, no? I say horrible things to my friends all the time. My brother and I spend the majority of the day jokingly insulting each other
. Of course, they make it sound like she's a horrible person....and the Luna comment...well...it wasn't very serious, it's not like she blatantly insulted her
. But some would say she has the perfect personality for T-ara, knowing what we know now
I think the nature of this business is probably the biggest problem here. Image is everything. They all have to portray a spotless image. Even the stupidest little thing gets these people to completely blow up on you...they can't even be in relationships without tarnishing their image, they can't dislike anything, they can't step out of line at all. Not only does that shit probably wear on you, but it's an even bigger shock when something that would otherwise be trivial gets out...all that secrecy just leads to more secrecy and more and more of what we see is one big fat lie, no matter how innocent it might seem...
I've healed quickly, though. I'm playing Day by Day day by day again. Time for more videos of happy Hwayoung and less "bullied" Hwayoung
