[12.09.10] T-ara humiliated as audience cheered "Hwayoung" at Jeju Island concert
At T-ara's first public stage comeback, them "standing in humiliation" has been attracting attention on the internet for when the crowd showed no reactions during their performance.
T-ara performed at Jeju Island for a concert and during their stage, the audience during off their glowsticks and stopped cheering.
On the 6th at Mnet's "M!Countdown" and the 8th at SBS' "Inkigayo", there was a prerecorded done with fans of T-ara, so no situation happened. The Jeju Island concert was the first face-to-face stage with the public since their bullying controversy happened.
The response was harsh. T-ara appeared on stage, and the audience booed immediately. As the song began, T-ara became humiliated as the the crowd went silence and fans stopped cheering for what seemed like "Ten-minutes."
As T-ara's song ended, some people began cheering and shouting "Hwayoung", the member who is thought of as being ostracized by the group. T-ara finished by saying "Thank you" after singing and left the stage.

"petty assholes" is the still best way I can describe it
warning, incoherent rant:Honestly, it's pretty infuriating when you think about it, in every possible way. I'm positive those people don't give a single fuck about Hwayoung. That's what really gets me about it, just a bunch of lame ass people who need a reason to hate on on another group of people. Many have said this already, but considering the "bullying" subject matter, it's pretty ironic that these people decide to basically bully a group of young women who for all we know did absolutely nothing wrong. It's one of the things that pisses me off so much about the entire "idol" thing. People expect perfection, to a RIDICULOUS degree. I mean, some of the shit I've heard is just fucking INSANE, really. People don't even want you on TV because you may or may not have had a couple disagreements with another person? They seriously want to destroy their dreams and ruin their lives. How can someone not see that as fucked up, especially considering the lack of proof? It honestly blows my fucking mind. I wanna get real upset about it but there's nothing I can do, so it really is pointless to let it piss me off...but I can still rant
Fancam of the performance...someone apparently screams for them to "get out"--at the top of her lungs, in a very insane kinda way
...(actually, I guess it wasn't in this video since I didn't hear it again when I watched it just now, but if I find it I'll link it
)
I'm gonna be honest, I hate just about everything about kpop fandom. From their silly naming conventions (netizens, antis, etc) to their damn near gang like affiliations with fan clubs, all of which have what I consider stupid ass names. People throw themselves in these groups and, I swear, instead of supporting the group they like, it feels more like they join together to shit on damn near any other group that comes into contact with their group...and then those same hypocrite assholes turn around and defend their group at every turn, and if you DON'T simply choose to blindly accept without first taking time to understand the entire situation, they decide they have the right to identify who is/isn't a "real fan" and proceed to hate on the "fake fans". Pretty much, all they're good for is hating. Everything here seems broken, from the inner-workings of the industry right down to fans who seem to thrive off ruining people's lives. Dafuq.
