[12.02.24] Quick News - Oricon CEO, "In the future, expecting T-ara to become popular"






Japan's Oricon CEO gave a rare interview after the K-pop Gaon Chart Awards.
- DBSK, Girls' Generation and KARA are singers from South Korea who have already became well-known names in Japan. In the future, which singers do you expect to become popular there?
▶ I was actually surprised at the award ceremony. There is a lot of Korean singers continuously debuting who are talented. In particular, it was the first time I saw a live performance of BEAST. All the members were impressive and unique. T-ara's dance-pop and visual concept are unique too. In the future, I expect T-ara to be gain popularity in Japan.

[update]: Hyomin spoke to TV Report to speak about the reports that came out today. Hyomin stated she is currently in Vietnam for T-ara schedules and was confused when she received frazzled contact from Korea.   Hyomin said, “Kang Junho oppa and myself are just in a friendly relationship. It is different from the article’s reports.”   She also mentioned she was in the middle of preparing for her second mini-album solo comeback. “I will work hard to be prepared to show off a good luok,” Hyomin said.   *** It was reported today that Hyomin and Major League Baseball player Kang Junho have been dating since January. Is it true?

It was originally reported that Hyomin and Kang Junho first met in September of 2015 when Hyomin threw the first pitch for the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game in the United States. The two quickly became friends and toured Pittsburgh together including the zoo, amusement park, and other sights in the city. Kang Junho entered a period of rehabilitation because of a knee injury he suffered and he was in a bad state shortly after. Hyomin was there for him over phone calls and SNS. Naturally, over the course of the next few months, the two became closer and closer - like brother and sisters.



In January of 2016, the feelings changed from friends to more serious. It is said by ISPlus that the two began dating three months ago in January and pursued a long distance relationship with him located in the United States and her in Korea.

When asked for Hyomin's agency MBK's response they said they will confirm with Hyomin who is currently in Vietnam with T-ara. Shortly after, they verified with Hyomin that the two are in fact NOT dating.

MBK states, "Hyomin is not dating baseball player Kang Junho. It is true the two have a close friendship as brother-sister but they are not lovers."

Taiwanese media has reported that it is possible that T-ara could be stars in Jay Chou's upcoming new music video.
It was revealed recently that Chinese singer Jay Chou, who is popular across Asia, would be recording a new song as a promotional song for League of Legends and that there has been secret discussion for girl group T-ara to star in the music video. Taiwanese media website UDN reports that it may be all of T-ara or just a few members.
In October of last year, T-ara officially signed a Chinese contract with billionaire Wang Sicong's entertainment company. Wang Sicong also serves as the president of China's Mobile Gaming Agency and owns the e-sports team Invictus Gaming. Because of this, this rumor seems like it could be quite plausible for T-ara.
For many Hallyu stars, it is a dream to work with Jay Chou. T-ara were previously on the Chinese variety show "The Brain" with Jay Chou where he picked Soyeon as his favorite member.
