Netizens' demands ("disband, fuck off bitches") are obviously not going to be met, because T-ara makes stupidly large amounts of money and still have massive amounts of fans (the scandal hurt them in Korea but ironically helped grow and strengthen their fanbase internationally, ensuring their longevity). The girls (employees under contract) have no choice but to fly in the face of hate, they couldn't stop even if every bone in their body wanted to.<br /><br />If netizens want to retain any of their precious power to influence k-pop idols, they need to give their favourite/most hated (same thing) k-pop villains a "way out". The stick doesn't work without the carrot. By choosing to keep the hatred going no matter what, their side of the bargain ("go away for a while and we will forgive") is broken. Presto - netizens become powerless to influence anything. Nothing to gain from obeying means nothing to lose from disobeying.<br /><br />It's a good thing. Korean media culturally is growing up. Give it ten years and Korean netizens will be looked at by Korea the way YouTube comments are looked at by western record labels. Maybe sooner if people in the industry learn the lessons presented by T-ara, G-Dragon, Ivy and now Han Ye Seul.Kpopalypsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485316114199989423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104650668609735792.post-76556038536327283472013-04-22T22:08:47.164-07:002013-04-22T22:08:47.164-07:00Han Ye Seul should just come back to give the midd...Han Ye Seul should just come back to give the middle fingers to the anti-fans. <br /><br />It's like people never heard of a strike?? Where people stop working and demands better working conditions. If more people, actors/actresses, would just stand up and did the same thing, people would be singing a different tune. F*** the hypocrites. She has the balls to do something different and instead of people standing up for her, they tramped her. Because what? Over a f***** drama then human conditions? I bet you, if Eric had stood up for Han Ye Seul, the fan girls would have been screaming, "Better the working conditions!" Netizens are more sympathetic toward male actors. <br /><br />One of these days, and I hope it doesn't come that that, if a major star, which i think already happened, double over from this working conditions, the netizens would be come back to this incident as a turning point.<br /><br />"I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."<br /><br />I really really dislike fans who think they know what the hell they talking about while watching dramas.

Instead of telling the original story that the writer wanted, broadcast companies will switch things on the fly in order to appease the viewers. There are plenty of instances where there are new writers added, or even new writers replacing old ones. I know American shows do this, but they do this in between seasons, not as the show is airing. If Korean dramas were produced before they aired, they'd be a lot better. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy them as they are, but I know that they could be much better if they had time to do extra takes for scenes, more time to polish up the scripts, more time for editing, etc.Nayeon's Vibratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00084865239924176871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104650668609735792.post-26701434224011602542013-04-21T08:28:42.980-07:002013-04-21T08:28:42.980-07:00well 2ne1 definitely blows my mind here, no vocal ...well 2ne1 definitely blows my mind here, no vocal talent, no sex selling, seriously i don't even know how they got even close to famousRealJWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10191899504695505092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104650668609735792.post-26128915071718760592013-04-21T07:17:54.829-07:002013-04-21T07:17:54.829-07:00So the viewers have a big part in writing the scri...So the viewers have a big part in writing the script for K-dramas as the dramas go along?

I think most people hate on these celebrities because they wish they had the life the celebrities have, and they choose they ones who aren't as popular in hopes that they will fall. Personally, I have never heard of Han Ye Seul (you know I'm going to be looking her up when I'm done posting this.) but I love T-ARA and Tablo's music. They are both incredible singers and I think that they are good at what they do. People need to stop hating on others because they have a successful life. The way I see it, if the haters actually went out and tried to do something with their lives instead of hating on successful people in the industry, then they might end up successful too. But for most of them, that aspect might just go over their heads. Thanks for the amazing blog. Keep posting, because it's the first thing I read when I wake up :)<br />Rebecca<br />P.S.

They're not really any different to music producers for idol groups either. <br /><br />Most of these guys know people are going to watch the drama regardless anyway and just try to make a quick buck and fame out of them. <br /><br />Besides, didn't Gaksital, Chaser and Phantom do well despite being outside the box in general? <br />Scatter_88milhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07320648612177823079noreply@blogger.com
