How much longer can T-ara ignore the public?
Article: T-ara unit, random mysterious concept with 'forced' promotions

tl;dr: Journalist criticizes CCM/T-ara for ignoring the public and continuing to "force their promotions" onto them.
"T-ara doesn't have any of the conditions in which a mysterious marketing tactic would work. Despite the fact that they disturbed society with a bullying scandal last year, they forced their 'Sexy Love' promotions, which only made them grow further apart with the public. Going forward with a mysterious marketing tactic now can only be seen as random.
Unlike Kang Ho Dong and Kim Gura, other figures who also disturbed society, T-ara ignored the criticisms of the public and continued to force their way through promotions. After 'Sexy Love', the group not only appeared at year-end events, but also continued their individual member activities. They did all this ignoring the fact that the audience and the public grew quiet whenever it was T-ara's turn for the stage.
What should be questioned now is whether T-ara can continue to promote while ignoring the public. The public's dislike for the group is still apparent so for T-ara to still be able to appear on broadcast shows that the music industry and the broadcast industry are inseparable.
Core Contents Media CEO Kim Kwang Soo has been in the management industry for a while now and thus knows plenty of connections with broadcast PDs, which explains how T-ara was still able to be 'tossed in' music and variety shows even after their bullying scandal. Of course, they were never given full coverage roles.
The topic of curiosity now is how much T-ara will expose themselves with their unit promotions. Core Contents Media is already attacking the public by unleashing their pollution onto them in the form of unit promotions."
1. [+459, -8] What a refreshing article
2. [+434, -6] The journalist hit the nail on the head. I'm just worried that the psycho Kim Kwang Soo will get him fired or something.
3. [+362, -9] Journalist has determination
4. [+52, -6] From Kwang Soo's perspective, I can see why he wouldn't want to give up on T-ara since they were his biggest cash cow pre-scandal. T-ara hasn't had a hiatus this long since their debut. They've always had a string of songs that were received well and made money. He's at a standstill now because it's not like he can throw them out but it's not like he has the time to invest in a new group either. But I have a feeling that if this unit fails, Kwang Soo's going to throw them out for good... It's basically proving they no longer have worth as products. Anyway, the journalist is right. They're really doing nothing but polluting the public.
5. [+49, -3] This guy has the right to be a journalist
6. [+44, -3] Jiyeon and Hyomin can go into the porn industry once their singing careers fail
7. [+44, -3] Like the journalist said, them forcing their promotions is nothing more than pollution. God, I hate them...
8. [+36, -1] "Unleashing their pollution" Totally agree
9. [+27, -2] ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Their entire existence is forced. They should've at least pretended they were being careful when the public first came out with their response, but it was their damn determination that made them think they could win over the public with a war. I used to think Kwang Soo was the problem with the way he handled the scandal but the kids are just as bad with the way they've been acting. They are truly meant for each other.
10. [+23, -0] Unleashing their pollution ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
