With ex-member Hwayoung's dismissal from the group and the 'T-ARA crisis', internet users chose T-ARA as number 1 for girl group with the most determination.

A community portal site called dcinside conducted a poll that asked which girl group had the most determination. T-ARA won first place with 11,858 votes.

dcinside commented, "T-ARA debuted in 2009 and received continuous support through not only singing, but also acting and entertainment. It is just recently that they have died down a bit due to the incident."

On the other hand, Girls' Generation ranked 2nd and KARA ranked 3rd on the poll.
