Mellie Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Ah.......the award shows in Korea..........what can I say except that these awards are mostly "bought"?? It's ridiculously obvious since we have all heard that scary companies like SM ent etc. exist who will threaten many people if a certain group from their company don't get an award... Now even if I have not "heard", I have at least been puzzled too many times by those award outcomes to think that these awards are fair at all. One of my Korean friends told me that's how most media related things are done in Korea.........the country's media is much more willing to be "selective" in comparison to the media of north america. Anyways, I think KARA tends to have more sensible and normal fans who would not go buy say..10 copies of their CD each and do crazy multiple votings on various sites --> which is why KARA is quite unlikely to win against those groups with more of a fanatic fan base...*cough* that other girl group *cough*. So yes, I love how Japan is treating our KARA girls! It seems that Japan's entertainment world has much more "fair" systems when under the spotlight.

sandyna Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Ugh this is so annoying! I can see how much more love they receive in Japan! They deserve so much more in Korea, Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaiasking Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Well, being cold and just looking numbers, it's better for KARA to be better treated in Japan than Korea. Well, Japanese market is 10-20 times bigger than Korea's one, so it's better for KARA. BUT, being so well treated in a foreign country and in your homeland you're treated as nobody is really hard to deal with. My explanation for this is as everbody here explanations: the company power. In my point of view, SNSD and KARA have the same music quality and talent, but the first one belongs to the Big3 and second, to a good but not big company. In Korea, it seems that SNSD is invencible and KARA is just known. But if you see in Japan, the reality is that both of them competes at the same level in popularity. On my point of view, we can see the reak truth in Japan's market. Although, KARA started in Korea and I prefer their korean's songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
