DeeTee 1,719 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Article: [Exclusive] "The second B2ST situation"... MBK Entertainment applies to trademark 'T-ara'Source: Sports Chosun via Nate1. [+195, -9] I remember when SM sued an academy named 'Siwon School' because they didn't want them using the name Siwon ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ these guys are all just thugs2. [+148, -17] The difference here is that the former B2ST/current Highlight members had a positive image as a group3. [+103, -3] Whether you hate T-ara or not, you have to admit that agency CEOs are thugs abusing their power4. [+22, -4] Look at how well Highlight is doing now, it's not the name that's important but the members ã…‹ã…‹ We'll soon see if T-ara does better without the name or not ã…‹ã…‹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 tsk6. [+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 tsk6. [+6, -4] Kwang Soo's a thug to the bone... tsk tsk tsk, he always plays dirty7. [+3, -0] T-ara's better off using a different name anyway ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹8. [+3, -3] Just change your name to Tara instead of T-ara then ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹- Article: [Official] MBK reps, "We did apply to trademark T-ara but this is a different situation compared to B2ST"Source: OSEN via Naver1. [+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 ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ the members must think this is ridiculous3. [+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 ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ you're so dirty ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹7. [+81, -3] Kwang Soo's basically saying he'll only let them use the name if they pay up the royalties ^^ crazy Kwang Soo8. [+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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haus of Tzu:Lai 5,450 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 They can always go by T*ara or Tiara. MBK/KKS being petty af. As if they'll use the name again anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see Kwang Soo seethe even more They can always go by T*ara or Tiara. MBK/KKS being petty af. As if they'll use the name again anytime soon. T-ARA or TIARA it's all the same, T-ARA was ORIGINALLY "TIARA" it was only stylized as T-ARA later. You can see T-ara debuted under the name "Tiara" (you can see the their debut stage on MCountdown as proof that it was TIARA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see T-ara debuted under the name "Tiara" (you can see the their debut stage on MCountdown as proof that it was TIARA) Well the best solution is using Hanzi / Kanji / Hanja. çŽ‹å† = crown / tiara Hangul: 왕관 / wanggwan We still can call it tiara cause of the meaning but not by phonic name.

cheese2 3,241 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 watch mbk debut a new group and give them the name t-ara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue State of Mind 120 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Strange. I thought mbk were forced to change from Tiara to T-ara due to trademark infringement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iiiw 121 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Brand name should be different. E.g.Samsungs rival cant be Sansung. I am quite sure that any similarities with Tiara/T-ara could be sued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
