Girl group T-ARA has been given the '10 minutes of silence'.

T-ARA received a '10 minute of silence' from the audience during their performance at the Jeju Island '2012 Nature Conservation Concert'. This '10 minutes of silence' was performed only during T-ARA's performance, gaining much attention.

This '10 minute of silence' was first seen in 2008 at the dream concert. Fans of a boy group would hide their glowsticks and stay quiet during the girl groups' performances. 

However, this '10 minute of silence' disappeared after discussing that it was too harsh of an action.

But, this '10 minute of silence' returned during T-ARA's performance. Many of these '10 minute' actions are usually pre planned online, however this '10 minute of silence' happened coincidentally. It is rare to see an entire audience go into a state of silence without any preplanning.

The only difference between this '10 minutes of silence' and the past ones was that this time it was the audience against T-ARA instead of fans against fans.

Although T-ARA has revealed an apology letter and a reason, much of the public are still not convinced enough.

Idols can only exist through the support and popularity from the public. Many are curious to see how T-ARA will get through these rough times.
