Jiyeon sat with TVDaily on the 13th to express her feelings towards her first solo promotions for ‘1MIN1SEC’ coming to an end.

“Even though my solo promotions are already coming to an end next week, I was [really happy] to receive a lot of support and interest [from the public]. I’m happy because I’m able to finish my promotions in a good light,” Jiyeon said as she spoke with TVDaily before a music program broadcast.

“Because this is my first time [doing solo promotions], I’m going to give myself 50 points out of 100,” Jiyeon said after she was asked to rank her solo promotions. Additionally, she says, “In the event that I’m given another chance to do solo activities, I would like to be able to fill the remaining 50 points, [to deliver a perfect performance].”

“At first, it’s hard not to worry about [going solo]. As someone who normally performs in a group, doing activities alone like this can sometimes make you lonely,” Jiyeon says as she recalls her promotions when they first started, “But then, being inside the waiting rooms and being able to promote solo along with my other unnis (Jeon Hyosung, etc.) helped me get to know them better and become closer with them. Hanging out in the waiting rooms with them was a lot of fun.”

As Jiyeon’s solo promotions comes to an end, she tells us that T-ara is working on their comeback. “We’re currently learning Chinese during our downtime,” she says, “Since we are preparing to promote [there as well], we want to equip ourselves with the basics so we can learn more about China. We’re also learning how to ride skateboards (?) for exercise.”
