1. Uhm what type of career are you referring to? an idol career? actor? or just a regular citizen job?
2. You are Beautiful Jeremy!!!
3. I'm Taiwanese born in America
4. I listened to Haru Haru by Big Bang when it came out hehe
5. I like both..but SNSD because i know them better (as in watched more shows with them so i know their personalities more)
6. I'm neutral on 2ne1 but some people said that they're "copying" american swag but is that cuz they wore crazy outfits and stuff like that? Because the only person who i could relate that to would be lady gaga. Lol what is "American swag" anyways...
7. LOL yes i wish i've wanted to autition for a longgg time but school is making me too busy and my parent's aren't supportive anyways :\
8. omg sorry i can't answer this question D: way too hard i love too many songs and they're all so different in their own ways and my "favorite" changes because there are constantly new songs coming out sorry D:
9. I'm a girl lol so boy groups (SuJu is my fav XD <3)
10. I honestly have no idea..no one knows the real story besides Tara, their managers, and people close to them. I try not to listen to rumors because i can't believe most of them that's one thing i don't envy about idols, they have to deal with having no privacy and rumors.

1.Does having a baby ruin your career.?
- If it's in a scandalous way, it might.
2.What is the first drama you watched.?
- Boys Over Flowers <3
3.What is your ethnicity.?
- Filipino from Philippines!
4.How'd you get into kpop.?
- My close friend introduced me to them. Not actually introduced like,but, she showed me this CD she newly bought where K-Pop song's MVs are there [2ne1's "Fire" era]. And then in one song, she showed me this MV of 9 girls that she said that she really adore them because they're all so cute and then, by that time, I started memorizing their names. ^_^
5.2ne1 or SNSD
- It's hard for me... I'm a more Sone than a Blackjack so, SNSD.
6.What are your opinions when people say 2ne1 is copying American swag and more americanized I personally don't like 2ne1 but what are your opinions.?
- Well, it doesn't mean that Americans must only own or use the word 'swag' right? In that case, I bet they're not sharing the word. Those people are just too immature.
7.Do you want to be a kpop star.?
- Nope.
8.Favorite kpop song.?
- It matters by the way. As of now, I'm addicted to GD's Crayon & That XX.
9.Girl or Boy groups.?
- Boy groups. (haha)
10.What do you think the real story behind the T-ara scandal was.?
- I'm not a Queen (T-ara fan) but I felt really pity in Hwayoung's side. It's not that I'm biased 'cause in that time, I only know Eunjung, JiYeon & Hyomin in the whole group. In that time, I really agreed (idk think it's the right word) on the facts that some T-ara members are bullying Hwayoung. BTW, I really dislike JiYeon. Not hate but dislike. So I think I'm really biased. haha

10)Three stories from my top favorite Kpop news sites,

-Hwayoung's departure from T-ara: the full recap-
Core Contents Media's (hereby referred to as CCM) CEO announced shocking news through a press release regarding their popular girl group T-ara a few days ago. CEO Kim Kwangsoo shocked many T-ara fans after stating that he had terminated T-ara member Hwayoung's contract in order to keep her protected from her rumored "bullying" situation and her supercilious behavior to their staff.
In this editorial, we will recap the current T-ara controversy from the initial accusations all the way to
T-ara's current status and their plans for the future. (Korea boo)

-T-ARA, "Bullying" Scandal Is The Worst Since Their Debut-

T-ARA has been suffering with the worst scandal since their debut involving their member Hwayoung.

Hwayoung's 'Bullied/Loner Scandal' has made previous actions of T-ARA look bad and had negative consequences on their group's image.

Among them, Boram is said to have bullied her the most. On the 29th, a picture of Boram and Hwayoung, who was holding a broken umbrella, walking side by side was posted on a website. This posting said, 'Boram used her umbrella to damange Hwayoung's umbrella more' and made the recent troubles worse.

Jiyeon was seen putting down Hwayoung on an entertainment program, Hyomin wrote on her Twitter, "There is a reason for everything." There are even past photos of the six members being mocked.

T-ARA's Jiyeon, Eunjung, Hyomin, Boram, Soyeon wrote tweets that seemed to have relations to pointing out Hwayoung not being able to perform because of her leg injury. Hwayoung then wrote on her Twitter, "Sometimes even with determination it's too much. At times like these it's upsetting, but I believe there's a good meaning behind it that God has provided. Hoot."

The representative of Core Contents Media, Kim Kwang Soo, stated "After I return from this business trip in Japan, I will make an announcement about T-ARA on the 30th."

After Hwayoung injured her leg on SBS "Inkigayo" that aired on the 22nd, she was seen performing in a chair at the concert in Japan. Ever since, she has not been on air. (Kpop starz)

-Netizens share more incidents of T-ara’s Hwayoung supposedly being bullied-

With the controversy surrounding the bullying scandal of T-ara and Hwayoung heating up, netizens have been claiming to discover more and more proof shots that supposedly prove the bullying rumors to be true.

Recently, online community boards have been posting such screencaps of various moments throughout the girls’ careers back to back, shocking netizens with the content.

On one Japanese broadcast, videos showed Eunjung forcefully feeding Hwayoung a rice cake into her mouth, while on one episode of KBS‘s ‘Star Life Theater‘, Hyomin was caught poking Hwayoung in the eye while lifting her arm.

In another scene, netizens noticed Jiyeon making fun of Hwayoung for reading in the car, stating, “She’s only acting like that because she’s in front of the camera. As someone who’s in the same team as her, this is my first time seeing her reading.”

Soyeon was also caught approaching Hwayoung (who was sitting in a corner) and giving her candy, stating, “This was the candy I dropped on the floor before.”

Netizens commented, “The rumors with Hwayoung must be true”, “Isn’t this too much against one person?”, “How can they act like this as adults?”, and “Hwayoung must be going through such a hard time.”

Stay tuned to allkpop for full details on CEO Kim Kwang Soo’s announcement regarding T-ara, later today. (All Kpop)

1) Depends on how much you love your job and what type of job it is. But if you were a Kpop Idol and you had a baby, I think maybe yes, it would affect you.
2) Dream High <3
3) English :/
4) Through Beats By Dre - Checked them out say 2NE1 wore them in Can't Nobody and...BOOM...addicted!!
5) Hard question...Both two very different groups, but if I had to pick Girls Generation <3
6) So what if they are? It's their music, it's up to them how they sell it!
7) I would LOVE to be a Kpop star...but I'm not Asian :'(
8) Breathe or I Don't Need A Man by miss A <3<3
9) Girl :3
10) Ugh....I don't know! If you watch Lovey Dovey in Tokyo, they all seem VERY good friends :/ It's hard to decide with such little information. I LOVE T-ara and I LOVE Hwayoung and personally I don't think any of them could be horrible or are bullies. I just think that her contract ended and maybe they wanted to make a fuss out of it? Or maybe Hwayoung wanted to stay on and they didn't let her, so instead of the truth coming out, they sold the bullying story??

10. no idea -- not much of a t-ara fan -- also don't follow kpop news that much, just love the music

[Rachel]

1.) YES. K-Pop idols serve as role models and the upholders of Korean values and morals much more so than Western artists do for Western values. If you were a trainee, you'd never debut and if you were debuted, you'd probably have a hard time finding work.

2.) Oh! My Lady

3.) Korean

4.) MIddle school, when I discovered BoA through anime.

5.) Both

6.) I say that it doesn't matter...K-pop is about performance, not music. Did they put on a good show? Job well done and the rest doesn't matter.

7.) Secretly, but I'm too old.

8.) Right now? MAXSTEP

9.) Both...

10.) I believe the real story is that the CEO created a toxic environment for a bunch of over worked, stressed out, hormonal females and they just imploded briefly. Then he yammered to the public and the netizens took it from there.

1.Does having a baby ruin your career.?: Well, I think it depends on what your career is and if you have someone helping out with the baby. If your boyfriend/husband/whoever is helping out while you do your work then I’d say no, but if you have no one helping you out, I’d say yes. Babies are a lot of a stinkin work. Like a pet, but higher maintenance :/

2.What is the first drama you watched.? Boys Of Flowers I’ll never forget that wonderful day... I was looking for Stand By Me (SHINee’s song and I came across this fan made MV for BOF and I thought it looked interesting, so I looked it up. I loved it so much. It started my Kdrama addiction ^^

3.What is your ethnicity.? African American

4.How'd you get into kpop.? Long story short, I found Gee by GG on accident, loved it. Found KARA’s Pretty Girl on accident. Loved that too. Decided to look up more music like those two songs, and the rest is history~

5.2ne1 or SNSD: 2NE1

6.What are your opinions when people say 2ne1 is copying American swag and more americanized I personally don't like 2ne1 but what are your opinions.?: Well, I think all of Kpop is to some degree copying Western style. Though I’d say that YG’s artists seem to do it more often.

7.Do you want to be a kpop star.?: I’ve thought about it…But I think it would be too much stress :/ I’d strongly consider being a backup dancer for idols though ^^

8.Favorite kpop song.?: So hard D: But my all time favorite groups are SHINee and 4men for male groups, and 2NE1 for female group. My all time favorite song…Idk. I Have waaay too many. But my top 5 most replayed songs recently are (In no particular order):
5. Tell Me Your Wish (SNSD)
4. Up and Down (SHINee)
3. Gulliver (Super Junior)
2. Daily Daily (ZE:A)
1. Mirror (Super Junior)/Romantic (SHINee)
Sorry, just had to add that last one in there because I’ve definitely have been replaying that song like crazy xD

9.Girl or Boy groups.?: Well, as a girl, I think I’d have to say guy groups…For the guys of course ;D
But I really like girl groups too :o

10.What do you think the real story behind the T-ara scandal was.?: I think that, just like Simon and Martina said, no one will ever truly know the truth besides the main people involved in it and everything else is just a rumor.
