T-ara makes first public appearance for Jeju concert, CCM buys out Nate for the night

I'm just as tired as you are about this topic but I can't do much about it when it's the only thing in the media that's buzzing.

By the way, if you have any requests, PLEASE shoot them my way instead of leaving passive aggressive mentions in my inbox. I take EVERY request, as long as you link me to a CURRENT article or topic to translate. I can't report something if I don't know that you want to read it...

CCM/Newsen have completely bought out Nate for the night. Nearly half of the top 30 articles are T-ara related; mostly pictures of the girls on their way to Jeju and some talking about the performance itself. I have gotten some tips saying that there was a black ocean for the girls and I've read some accounts as well but nothing substantial enough to report.

The interesting part about CCM/Newsen's media play tonight is that they're not even being shy about it anymore. Normally, articles are ranked on Nate according to how many votes netizens give it. Most of the articles have ZERO votes but over a hundred down votes, so it makes no sense that they're even in the top 30... But they are thanks to the ranks being bought out.

In addition to the vote numbers on the best replies, I will include the votes on the article itself for comparison.

Article: [+0, -122] T-ara, 'M! Countdown' 'Music Core' and a Jeju concert 'Comeback activities'

1. [+97, -2] They're basically saying that they don't give a crap about societal issues and the public because they're so blinded by their greed. Do they think the public will just sit there and take it?

2. [+73, -1] They have absolutely no shame

3. [+59, -1] They're so stubborn, aren't they? Just what you'd expect from idols of determination. I wonder what you'd have to eat to be so determined? Rice cakes for all three meals of your day? tsk tsk...
