Thank you so much for posting today's performance! I really enjoyed it just as I have their previous performances and I love the blue dresses! They're reminiscent of Alice's dress from "Alice in Wonderland". They got a lot of crowd participation which is great and I'm looking forward to their next performance on M! Countdown on the 13th!

It's been said that T-ara received a black ocean during this performance but no video evidence or enough pictures of the crowd has surfaced to fully support that claim. Some are saying that not many people had lightsticks to begin with for it to be considered a black ocean, however a combination of the silence displayed in the video (although you can hear some of their fans cheer for them) as well the shouts of "Hwayoung" that can be heard after the conclusion of their performance on this fancam indicates that the crowd was displeased with their presence at the event (which we knew would most likely have been the reception they received in the first place).

In an audio clip (posted below), boos can be heard as well as some angry shouts at the beginning (someone on youtube translated one of the shouts at :10 as "T-ara Kkeojyo!!" meaning "T-ara go away!!"). At the end you can hear some clapping but in comparison to the cheers and fan chant participation other groups such as EXO-K as well as A-Pink received during their performances, it's quite obvious that the amount of people who were supporting them were quite small in number. As you can see, the person included "T-ara black ocean" in the title of their clip so there is a possibility that there was one, especially if you consider the other negative things that have occurred during their performance. As I said, there isn't too much visual evidence that has been released but I'm a bit more inclined to believe it to an extent under the assumption that this person was there and saw what was going on (they did record the audio). If people were booing them, shouting negative things at them and being silent during their performance, I wouldn't put it past them to make a black ocean either (although I'm unsure of the extent of it).
