1. [+195, -9] I remember when SM sued an academy named 'Siwon School' because they didn't want them using the name Siwon ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ these guys are all just thugs

2. [+148, -17] The difference here is that the former B2ST/current Highlight members had a positive image as a group

3. [+103, -3] Whether you hate T-ara or not, you have to admit that agency CEOs are thugs abusing their power

4. [+22, -4] Look at how well Highlight is doing now, it's not the name that's important but the members ㅋㅋ We'll soon see if T-ara does better without the name or not ㅋㅋ

5. [+15, -2] We're dealing with Kwang Soo here, didn't you expect this to happen? He always lives up to our expectations, he's such a thug tsk tsk

6. [+12, -1] It's so sad how things can turn for the worse... before their scandal, every song they put out was a hit and they all had great images... now their image has gone to sh*t, their contracts are expired, they can't even use their own team name, let alone sing their old songs... They really were just slaves for MBK tsk tsk

6. [+6, -4] Kwang Soo's a thug to the bone... tsk tsk tsk, he always plays dirty

7. [+3, -0] T-ara's better off using a different name anyway ㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+3, -3] Just change your name to Tara instead of T-ara then ㅋㅋㅋ

1. [+1,034, -21] Kwang Soo ajusshi, why are you being like this?

2. [+801, -15] Can't believe MBK tried to pass this off as an 'amicable parting' with T-ara, just look at the media play they've been doing ㅋㅋㅋㅋ the members must think this is ridiculous

3. [+625, -26] But isn't it better for T-ara's image to promote under a different name anyway?

4. [+581, -54] Of course it's different from B2ST's situation... at least B2ST had a positive image. T-ara's image is.. well... I'm just surprised that they think it's even worth fighting over at all.

5. [+105, -5] Kwang Soo the ba$tard is up to no good. Why else would he apply to trademark it three days before they left the company?

6. [+102, -4] Kwang Soo-ya ㅋㅋㅋㅋ you're so dirty ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+81, -3] Kwang Soo's basically saying he'll only let them use the name if they pay up the royalties ^^ crazy Kwang Soo

8. [+77, -3] Would you expect anything less from Kwang Soo? He's demanding that they pay if they want to use the name T-ara
