  2. [11.08.03] T-ara's "Roly-Poly" makes 300M KRW in daily sales

    201108040755581002_1.jpg

    'RolyPoly' has made 300,000,000 KRW in daily sales.

    Girl group T-ara has made 300,000,000 KRW (about $300,000 US) in daily sales. It is not typical for a recording artist to achieve making this much in daily sales. This then shows the public that T-ara has become very popular.

    "On August 1st, daily sales went up to 300,000,000 won," said T-ara's agency, Core Contents Media, "which makes it the highest daily revenue among the songs released in this year".

    They continued, "Over the past year, T-ara has made over 10,000,000,000 (about $9.5 million USD) in just Korea. This is something that even Japanese girl groups struggle to reach."

    'Roly-Poly' on its own has already sold 250,000,000 KRW overall. Moreover, 300,000,000 KRW in daily sales has set a phenomenal record. This has only been achieved from hit albums in the past.

    Because of this, recording artists have a new record to target in daily sales. T-ara's 'Roly-Poly' earning this much in daily sales show that their song have indeed received a lot of love nationwide.

    T-ara have also made over 4,000,000,000 KRW ($3.8 million USD) in various CFs and advertisements this year alone.

    Meanwhile, T-ara's 'Roly-Poly in Copacabana' music video was released on August 3rd and topped GomTV's music video chart 40 minutes after its release. T-ara will start promoting this track on August 5th on KBS2TV's Music Bank.

  5. [11.07.06] T-ara's Japanese Showcase: Girl fans VS boy fans

    Showcase to be broadcast in 3D

    N2011070609194817001.jpg

    Girl group T-ara has now immersed themselves into Japan.

    T-ara performed at the Tokyo AXHall on the 5th of July at 7:30PM where 1,500 fans were in attendance for T-ara's first Japanese stage performance.

    That day, fans lined up for the showcase hours before it started. In Japan, there was a big difference in gender ratios in fans as compared to the one in Korea.

    When you go to a Korean girl group concert, you'll see that there are a lot of male fans that end up lining up in front of reporters. However, in this showcase, T-ara's power was shown as there was more female fans than male fans.

    One of the girl fans present were asked where they found T-ara and what T-ara's charm was and she said, "I found them through a YouTube video. They are able to deliver stylish, sexy, and cute performances and it's very cool. Compared to Japanese girl groups there's more professionalism."

    A J-ROCK representative says, "Japanese girl groups focus on visuals while Koreans focus on giving perfect performances. Therefore, Japanese girl fans wish to follow this kind of trend." (?)

    They continued by, "In the case of the male Japanese fans, rather than accessing their hearts to a perfect star, they prefer to access to girl groups who are not as complete."

    The showcase finished late at night and T-ara had to return back to their hotel, but some of the girls ran chasing and screaming after them.

    Japan's greatest satellite-broadcaster Scapa will broadcast T-ara's First Japanese Showcase in 3D and 2D on the 14th of August, whilst FUJI-TV "Next Channel" will display a close up view of the recording room at the showcase in the special program "T-ara to T-ara"on the 27th of August.

    Meanwhile, T-ara released their new title track "Roly Poly" in Korea. They will release the Japanese version to "Bo Peep Bo Peep" in September of this year.

    wjgco2.jpg

    On May 30th, the VIP premiere event for new horror film, WHITE went through successfully. It is a horror story involving an idol group.

    Other stars that attended include: Park Yongwoo, Seowoo, Hwanhee, Lee Sangwoo, Park Jibin, Ryu Deokhwan, Lee Pilmo. With the stars, the theatre was filled up by fans.

    After the movie, most of the idols and actors that went to see it went straight to their Twitter accounts to tweet "That was SO scary" which in turn made the public anticipate the film even more.

    2AM's Seulong said "WHITE was very enjoyable. It's a scary movie, but it's still fun at the same time to watch" with that, he even added "I was seated beside MissA's Min, and her screaming was even scarier than the film!"

    MissA's Min commented that "People have to watch this film! It's going to be your must-do for the summer!". MissA's Suzy said that "It was really, really scary! It's great for the summer... But you probably shouldn't watch it alone".

    T-ara's Hyomin commented that "Eunjung-unni's never been shown this way. I'm still scared,". Park Gyuri of KARA said that the film was "fun and scary" and that "everyone should watch it. I live alone, and that scares me..."

  10. RUMOUR

    I was just trying to organize something for Hyomin's movie, and I was talking with our friends in Korea, and it turns out, that Hyomin is filming a drama as well on top of her horror film. It's still top secret, no one knows if it's true or not, but she is filming something else for a drama of some sort for the future.

    Like I said, it's real top-secret, so I can't really say anymore details... But it's a good update regarding our Girls and the drama industry once again!
