Article talks about T-ara's comeback and how poor the results have been despite MBK claiming that their title track ranked at the top of digital charts. They claimed that they ranked 5th, 8th, and 34rd on Mnet, Olleh, and Monkey3, but actually ranked 40th on Melon and down to 56th after a day, a lower rank than not only the current girl groups like AOA, SNSD, A Pink, and Mamamoo, but even fresh rookies like Girlfriend.

1. [+363, -29] Judging by the sentiment, I don't think they'll ever recover...

2. [+294, -26] If T-ara's that low on even Mnet, then they really have failed as a group ㅋㅋ no point of recovery for them

3. [+264, -34] I thought netizens would lose interest in hating them but they haven't, which surprises me

4. [+195, -23] They should just stick to promoting in China. Doesn't matter what they try in Korea, they can't recover their lost fame.

5. [+176, -28] So take this as a sign to stop having comebacks

6. [+79, -12] Kwang Soo-ssi, please give up on T-ara in Korea and at least try to make DIA work by stop connecting them to T-ara. Poor kids did nothing wrong but are getting hate just for their relation to T-ara.

7. [+68, -7] This comment might sound like a diss but I think I'm starting to understand what it means when groups say that they'd rather get hate than no interest at all... the public is honestly losing interest in them now...

8. [+49, -5] Image is everything to an idol, especially female idols. Non-idols can just come out with a killer song and recover through quality but why would anyone expect quality songs from an idol? They'd have to get some type of drastic attention overseas for the Korean public to care about them again but I'm not seeing that happening anytime soon...
