Why does T-ara have huge loyal fans in China?

As an eight-year old girl group, T-ara has abundant experience and details. Their songs are high-quality, catchy and flexible in styles, for example, like lively style songs: Lovey DoveyRoly Poly, catchy songs: No.9, Bo Peep Bo Peep, Sexy Love, grand and magnificent songs: Sugar free, TTL and graceful lyric songs: Sadness, The Reason Why We broke up, Tiamo and so on. Most of songs ranked the first in varieties of music lists before. Their dances also varied amazingly including lovely cat dance, rabbit dance, handsome robot dance, magical ghost dance. T-ara can drive all kinds of styles from loveliness to coolness. So, they have a special nickname called “chameleon in k-pop worldâ€. This is an omnipotent girl group. When you heard all their songs, I assure, you will be fans.

In July 2012, T-ara experienced hard time. Because of untrue bullying event, netizens and medias exaggerated and widely spread, plus MBK improper dealing, the situation was entirely uncontrolled. Netizens made a fuss, some with hostile intentions distorted the trues, spread scandals and edited videos to mislead the public. T-ara’s laboriously building-up popularity collapsed rapidly, netizens hated them, abused them and at last all netizens “anti†them. During that time, Eunjung’s new TV shows were terminated. Soyeon suffered the car accident and was badly hurt, but netizens said she deliberately pretended that and cursed her why didn’t go to hell. Some guy sent the dead rat to Jiyeon and threat to revenging her family, Jiyeon cried out, thus suffered from depression. On the music show, T-are had no seats. Netizens protested and organized an activity to ask for disbanding of T-ara, more than eighty thousand people supported. Moreover, T-ara’s originally planed concert was canceled, in which tickets were sold out. You cannot imagine how hard they, six twenty-year old girls, experienced that time and how difficultly they undertook such that attack. Under continuous online violence, they suffered from psychological problems. Even time going, they cannot forget that horrible experience. In the variety show, they wronged to cry when the host mentioning that event. In recent comeback interview, T-ara members confessed that they had considered suicide on that hard period.

Nevertheless, T-ara didn’t give up, the stage is their dream, fans are their power to go on. Under the pressure from haters, they stood up and promoted overseas. In 2013, they came to China and held concerts, but the react was normal, they didn’t obtain much more attention. Because the Hallyu culture, that time, is not so popular in China that T-ara fans were limited. At the same time, MBK still concentrated on the Japanese entertainment market, actually, J-queen’s still loved T-ara even the event had occurred. T-ara’ s concerts and comeback in Japan had achieved success. It helped them overcome that hard time. Just people thought they would promoted rapidly in Japan, however in July, 2014, MBK held concerts in collaboration with some sponsor, but the sponsor was cheater and carried money away. It made bad influence and the official fancafe was force to disband. T-ara’s popularity suffered Waterloo again, the only entertainment market in Japan was lost. Therefore, this accident was destructive and T-ara had nowhere to go.

But T-ara can often make miracles. As people thought T-ara would disband, but the situation took a sudden turn, perhaps T-ara’s perseverance moved God. Just like proverb saying,â€When God closes a window for you, certainly opens a door for you.†In 2014 in China, a magical broadcast room was born in Douyu TV, it names Qishifu. Let me introduce Douyu TV briefly. Douyu TV ,mainly depends on electronic games concept, has many kinds of electronic games live broadcasting rooms and other specific-theme broadcasting rooms. It is the biggest game broadcasting communication platform. Qishifu broadcasting room is one of them, which plays all kinds of T-ara’ s videos including T-ara variety shows, music shows and so on. Every day, millions of viewers click the room and watch T-ara videos. These viewers are not only Hallyu amateurs, but also come from other fields. They have a special online tittle called “Old Driversâ€. At first, these â€Old Drivers†are not interested in Hallyu culture, even more they were fed up with it. When they first time entered the Qishifu broadcasting room, they made biting comments through rolling subtitles on the screen. When more rolling subtitles gathered made a grand scene so that more and more “Old Drivers†began to get interested in these funny rolling comments. And thus, T-ara’s musics and dances gradually influenced “Old Driversâ€, they found that they were being attracted by T-ara’s charm musics and magical dances, just like “when I finished watching a T-ara MV, I would have left to other room, but actually I still go on watching other T-ara’s MV, these T-ara’s magical MV made me not come out of here. So, Qishifu Broadcasting room was called “prisonâ€. “Old Drivers†started to pay close attention to T-ara, and became interested in T-ara. When they knew T-ara’s sufferings, they became Queen’s and fell on love with T-ara.

T-ara is a lovely, optimistic, kind and vivid group. In the early time, they were favored by millions of fans with their naivete and energetic vitality. Now, they have promoted for eight years and are gradually thirty years old, they have more factors in their styles. However, T-ara’s charm still continues and even increase, sometimes, they show lovely childishness. Within eight years, they have experienced ups and downs, their relations like family members, Abundant life experience makes them like still water. They deal things prudently, they treat people modestly, kindly and patiently. Fans are power makes T-ara walk confidently. After suffering that hard time, they are more closed and intimate with fans. In the T-ara confession video, T-ara said only fans know them deep, in order to requite love to fans who are constantly supporting them, they continue to stand on stage with a grateful heart. They treat fans equally even fans come from different countries. T-ara is indifferent to fame and fortune. At the signing meeting of new album, they advise fans don’t waste money voting for them in the music and they don’t want a champion. T-ara said their most wanted wishes are holding fan meeting to fans. T-ara treasures their fans. Once Hyomin , at the risk of boarding the plane at the Hong Kong ariport, signed signatures to fans as many as possible. Eunjung worried to seek for help on weibo because of not deliberately losing fans gift in the crowded airport. Such events are countless. That’s why such more China fans or foreign fans love them. Nowadays, Korean ban works in China, T-ara cannot promote in China. Fans begin to worry what will they do in future. T-ara understand what fans’ thinking, they know fans are afraid of their disbanding. Therefore, on the interview before coming back, they said they don’t disband in future years, even if geting married, they still be together with fans as T-ara. They said T-ara is not only stand for them but also is belong to fans. Just like Hyomin said in the Shanghai Mercedes Benz concert,“I possess you guys I don’t fear, you guys have me you also don’t fear.â€

​In recent months, T-ara has no schedules in China. As fans, please be patient and expect the future will get better. Fans and T-ara together have been experiencing countless joys and tears, so there is no hard things not to be solved. Just like Eunjung said, “Let us brand each other with heart and heart, stand together in the rain and storm, we are integrated.†In 2016, our dreams are T-ara over-ten-thousand concert and new album comeback. Now, these had come true. In the future years, we wish T-ara come to China and hold second tour concerts, release second formal album, acquire a winner in music shows and walk with fans to ten years. These are ours goals. We cannot give up so that we can realize dreams.

Every time T-ara holds concert in China, C-Queen's get together in an unfamiliar city from other different cities.They organized meeting, mealing, singing and other activities before they attend the concert of T-ara. Let us recall the Shanghai Mercedes Benz concert of T-ara on 19th September, 2016, in which there were +8500 attendances.
