So this song won't be in the AGAIN album? Instead, CCM will suck up our pockets deeper by releasing this song in a repack album?
Why didn't I smell this earlier... I can't believe myself for believing that CCM was doing genuine favor LOL.
-
I wanna have a bite of Jiyeon, too... I mean the chocolate bar.
Is that T-ara chocolate box? -
Yes, this the T-ara that is T-ara.
T-ara that shouldn't be changed in any way.
-
I'd pay just to be fed by T-ara. That's my determination.
And my determination is beyond your imagination

Thought the MV would be desert related? Guess CCM trolled us again, eh?
-
So the first Mongolian desert teaser and this new teaser 'Can you play with T-ara' are for the same song Number 9?
How quite drastic of change is that... if true this turns our retro again, then I take back my words that ShiTiger broke his own track record with T-ara's title tracks. I guess KKS really want to make retro the signature sound of T-ara.
*hoping there won't be any chipmunk voice in Number 9 like in Roly Poly and Lovey Dovey*
Anyways, loving the black and white outfits. Ladies looking classy.

I'm happy to see this idol-fan/idol-idol love story became reality.
Soyeon was so cute, she gave an orange sofa to Click B as one of their first gifts when they moved in to a new apartment. I still remember both episodes of Star Gold Bell and Bouquet where they both appeared.
Almost as legendary as the make-believe love line between Chae Yeon and Kim Jong Kook.
Cheers to them!
Wish them happiness and success.

T-ara release as a 6-member group is epic. It's original and best.
I was expecting DSK as their main composer but I guess KKS still loves ST so much for T-ara's title tracks after all these years. For that, I also share the worry like few other Diadems here about ST's composing for T-ara's title track. It's gotta be fresh, different, and much better than his prev records.
Let's hope the 'transformation' shown in the teaser pics delivers.

T-ara to promote as a 6-member group?
PERFECT!
-
This... is unbearable!
Eunjeong's hair been short for a long time. Jiyeon recently sports a short hair as well. And now Qri.
I wanna see Qri sporting shorter hair.
-
Do we have the link for the performance?
-
Arrrggghhh....!
Why? How are you supposed to express an explosive emotion with words? Saying "OMG Eunjung is so pretty!" is not enough.
-
Some of the poses at the end look...
-
The amount of editing in that pic.
Anyway, this should be refreshing.

As a reminder, 6-ara is not the original T-ara, 5-ara is the original group. Soyeon, Boram, and Qri were added after Jiae and Jiwon left T-ara. And 6-ara lasted from July, 2009 to July, 2010, when Hwayoung joined, and currently T-ara is a 7 member group.
I like the fact that you've got your fact checked and know that T-ara's lineup was once including Jiwon and Jiae.
But they never debuted with that 5-member formation. So, what counts in the industry is the 6-member T-ara, whether you like it or not.
5-member T-ara released a song, OST, but never fully revealed themselves to public as T-ara if I remember correctly. Unless they did hold a press con or official announcement that those 5 girls were debuting, I could have missed that. And the official debut for them was that Radio Star appearance.
And I don't think referring to the 6-member T-ara as the original T-ara equates to saying that the 5-member T-ara weren't good enough. After all, it was JJ's decision that they didn't want to debut with T-ara. Original just means officially debuting.

Exactly.
What?
Did I get tired of this game already?
In the newer article CCM rep said that Areum has already received the song and been practicing, and they admitted it was a waste to keep her in T-ara.
Firstly, if this solo has been decided upon since 5 months ago and the song is ready, why planning the debut in more than 6 months from now? This is so not like CCM where things are done in usually short notice, if indeed the plan is legit and not only media talk. And 5 months ago would have been before N4, why her involvement in it? So, here we heard more hypes of a plan that even sounds fishy in its entirety. Sounds more like things didn't work as desired and she has to be cut.
Either Areum or CCM, or both, must have learned from Hwayoung's messy departure.
Secondly, admitting that keeping her in T-ara was such a waste didn't sound good in any way. Either she's actually too good for T-ara or their management didn't know any better how to handle her. The statement discredited the rest of T-ara in a not very subtle way.
All this happened after the fact that Areum was added to improve T-ara's vocals. Yet, she's too good for them and apparently T-ara have never ever needed a help in vocal department.
Too much contradictory thoughts in this. While CCM seem to be handling this case softer than Hwayoung's, they certainly still look very bad.
And after this second incident, have they not learned anything about adding a new member? Is it too much now to think that we might very well see this happens again in short future to Dani?

Oh ok, 1 day away from Diadem and look what I came back to... what a treat!
And having watched the MV first before reading this, now wonder I kept saying that this song can't be sung by all those groups' members LOL. Apparently, only 1-2 from each group.
And CCM never fail in collab song. Like ProphetBlog said, this would make a radio friendly song, which means airplay, which means popularity. Would even be a lot more awesomer if performed live.

OP knew the answer and would vote for Qri. But he's trying to subtly echo the bold statement that Qri is the only visual material

Btw, I expect lots of eff words
Now that's the real Countryside Diary!

It seems nice that T-ara gets exposed in the US/world stage, but I hope it is not at the expense of their Asian activities. I could say, the US/Western market can be much more fickle, and promoting away from their usual support bases may alienate T-ara from their 'core' support.
well that's interesting... it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
T-ara N4 breaking into the US with the more or less Hip Hop approach, whereas Wonder Girls used 'disney pop', and SNSD just did I guess 'pop'. either way I'm sure somewhere someone will Psy helped open the gate for this.
Going the SNSD, 2en1 route...korea, why are you so mental about the US.
I just basically want to respond to all of your comments
Jimmy noticed the difference in N4's venture, that is the image/sound they'll embrace in. So, we shouldn't be worried that N4 will go down the drain too easily like WG and SNSD,as long as N4 take totally different route. Musically, I bet it won't be another *Disney pop WG* or *plain strange pop SNSD*.
However, few statements from the article made me worried. I was fully expecting N4 would come up with a totally new song, having met with all those big name producers. That way, N4 would have the proper GPS to navigate thru the US music market. With their current plan of releasing different versions of the same Countryside Diary song, acceptance could be a challenge. The original song/arrangement is very Kpop, but who knows if those big name rappers would be able to lift the new versions to US Top 40.
Getting into US market doesn't always have to take WG's, SNSD's, and 2NE1's route. One thing in common with WG and SNSD was that they went into American TVs. I'm really hoping N4 won't take this route. Americans at large do not simply accept newcomer thru TV shows appearance/introduction.
Main difference with WG and SNSD is (imo):
WG's bet on Disney Channel definitely messed their audience target.
SNSD's The Boys is simply a weak song.
2NE1's collab with Will.I.Am isn't really a debut I think, but only a promotion song for Intel, so this simply doesn't get into radio playlist.
I'm now 50-50 on N4's US debut. *50 up* for the collab partners (and the hope for no American TV shows appearances), and *50 down* for the remake/English versions.
