If you hadn’t been following, T-ara‘s fandom (mainly in China) tried desperately to get T-ara a win for “TIAMO” on SBS‘s ‘The Show‘, spending upwards of $35,000 (H/T: @craZy18gurl) on voting, and even launching a guerrilla campaign in Korea urging Koreans to vote for T-ara.
Unfortunately, T-ara fell short yet again and finished in second place. However, the dubious nature in which the scoring was done called into question whether the program was preventing a T-ara win. That unsurprisingly pissed off T-ara’s fandom in China, and one of them posted a picture of the fandom spitting on the logo of the program.
Well, as you can see Hyomin seemed to like the idea of that.
Again, there’s something wonderful about idols that don’t give a fuck anymore, and T-ara clearly don’t. Really looking forward to more of this stuff, you guys.

Anyway, that’s not to say T-ara didn’t appreciate the effort from their fandom, though.

Even after stuff like this, I still read posts from people who believe their popularity in China is faked or something, and it’s a tad confusing.
