T-ara Won Best Kpop Idol

I don't know what this was for, but T-ara won this big award of Kpop Superior Awesomeness. The 20th Korean Culture Awards! I'm really really glad. T-ara doesn't get enough credit, and Sistar's had its turn.

They've had real boosts of sales and stuff in Japan, though. Personally, I find it really hard to listen to Japanese versions of Korean songs, because even though I couldn't sing the words, I know how they go, and the Japanese sounds wrong.

The girls are in these super spiffy wedding dresses. They look awesome, like the queens they are. Yaaaaaaay! Yay T-ara! That must be really meaningful to them, after they lost popularity over the scandal.

Part of me hates that Areum is taller than Jiyeon... but whatever.

My favorite dress is probably Qri's, but I also like the pink pearly sheen on Jiyeon and Areum's... I mean, they're all amazing dresses. A lot of the photography was crappy, though. And not a single solo shot of Qri! Like, wth!

T-ara also won another award not to long ago... It's this big Japanese Gold Album award. It's super prestigious, and they beat Girl's Generation to earning it. They all wanted the award, but they gave it to Dani, the joining member, to motivate her.


For some reason, this made a lot of people angry. They were like "Dani didn't even do anything on that album and it's stupid and she sucks."

I'm like, it still belongs to T-ara, technically... and honestly it probably makes sense to give it to her. They're all supposed to be of equal value to the group, and maybe they would give it to Soyeon, because she's the leader, but she wasn't the leader the year this album was released, but she is the main vocalist, but we don't want to discredit Hyomin and Eunjung...

In a group like SNSD, it might be easy to decide that Taeyeon gets the prize, but here, it's a lot more nasty to untangle.

Luckily, they have the perfect outlier - Dani! Dani is the new, inspired, joining member, who probably needs the encouragement. She's like their mascot now. I thought it was really generous of them to give that to her, and I expected people to agree with me, but they were really unpleasant towards Dani.

Anyways, many congrats to T-ara! Keep slaying!
