The love that they have for each other is very apparent in those photos and it's heartwarming to see Soyeon in a romance like this.

[13.09.26] T-ara's Soyeon revealed to have been dating Click B's Oh Jonghyuk for almost 3 years


The rumors were true. Click B singer Oh Jonghyuk (30) and T-ara member Soyeon (26) have been dating for almost three years. By word of mouth, their relationship has been confirmed to Sports Seoul. They recently celebrated their 1000 days together and are in a serious relationship with each other. They both had to overcome Jonghyuk's enlistment in the military service.


On the 23rd, Oh Jonghyuk and Soyeon celebrated their 1000th day anniversary with Sechs Kies Jang Soowon (33). They all went to a cafe together and enjoyed pork. Although there was no cake, the friends all shared the time together for the significant date in their relationship.

Sports Seoul caught Oh Jonghyuk and Soyeon on camera and the sweet atmosphere of the couple. Oh Jonghyuk was consistently a gentleman and cute to his girlfriend. They both showed affection for each other and Jonghyuk would often stroke Soyeon's cheek during the dinner.


Soyeon first confessed she was a big fan of Click B when she and Oh Jonghyuk appeared together on the November 2010 episode of KBS "Star Golden Bell". At the end of the show, Jonghyuk said, "These days not as many idols know me, but I'm very happy there is one who does."

The two also appeared on "Bouquet" after that in December. On December 28th, 2010, the two began their relationship together as boyfriend and girlfriend.


In April 2011, Oh Jonghyuk enlisted in the military. In June, he was finally finished with his service. Oh Jonghyuk and Soyeon patiently waited for each other. There have been accounts and sightings of Soyeon going to see him, and despite T-ara's activities, she still made time for her soldier boyfriend. Thanks to Soyeon, Oh Jonghyuk was released from the military with perfect health.

Oh Jonghyuk constantly cheered for T-ara. When the Hwayoung bullying controversy happened, Soyeon had it tough day-to-day, but from the military, Jonghyuk encouraged her and gave her advice. They had many obstacles in their relationship, but they have maintained the love for each other.

Oh Jonghyuk debuted under DSP Media in 1999 as a member of Click B and was active until 2003. He was the most popular member because of his handsome looks and his excellent singing skills. After that, he promoted as a soloist under the stage name OJ. In March, he renewed a contract with DSP Media which gathered attention.

DSP Media said, "Soyeon and Oh Jonghyuk have been meeting with each other for a while now. He fell in love with her cute charms and her beautiful eyes." Soyeon's agency Core Contents Media said, "Yes, they are dating. Their parents and family know and support them. They are careful in their relationship and ask for support."

Soyeon is loved by T-ara fans. She's been in dramas like SBS "Giant" and KBS2 "Haeundae Lovers" and will comeback with T-ara on the 10th of October.

[13.09.24] T-ara transforms into "Wild and Sexy" girls for October comeback


Ahead of their comeback, girl group T-ara has been reborn into a wild and sexy group.

On the 24th, T-ara released three different "wild and sexy" teaser poster images to raise anticipation for their next comeback.

Their title song "Number 9" has an unconventional melodic twist that makes it into a powerful song. It is produced by Shinsadong Tiger, the producer of T-ara's "Bo peep Bo peep", "Roly-Poly", and "Lovey-Dovey". They are hoping to hit another home run with an excellent song.

On the 26th, T-ara will release a music video teaser at 1:00 PM KST that shows their new image.

Very well-translated article. Thanks very much for the quality translation.
Eunjungie's answer about what's been changed and unchanged really echoed with me:
What's changed is that they have started participating more and more with their work, be it music, dress codes, color coordination, make-up points, hair styles, etc... They're offering their unique style more and more. What's unchanged is that they're still as dorky as ever. These girls cannot act serious for a single minute. They will just dork out the moment they catch a breeze. It is like a never-ending sitcom. To attract fans is real easy, have a catchy song and some well-coordinated choreography. These are the two major factors on how they KEEP their fans. Keeping fans is much harder work than attracting fans. They're always giving us new and fresh concepts on their music, at the same time putting smiles on our faces by dorking out with each other.
Keep working hard girls, and keep the dorkiness at the same time. My allegiance shall not sway.

Supporting T-ara was never obligatory yet we all stayed by their sides..
Confessing to fans was never a must to them yet they always made sure to let we, fans know how grateful they are for our supports..
A person becomes mature once they are able to laugh off about their past and Jungiee, you are on a whole different level.. To admit one's mistake and still being able to forgive those ppl who made criticism groundlessly and respecting their opinions is a feat on and of itself, which, I genuinely think is praise worthy.. You are Growing more within me day by day...
"Although the sayings about members’ conflict and bullying will follow us around like labels, we think that as long as it is not true then it is fine. We won’t worry too much about it." -Leaving aside the fact that you have grown up into a fine beauty, I am so proud that you have become really matured and rational. Its people thing to say. They will judge you regardless of the outcome and the way you would approach them so its better to do your own thing and be what you wanna be. Wise words Jungiee, would engrave this in my heart.
T-ara will Forever be the best(personal opinion)!!

Eunjung has really matured a lot, her answers being proof to this.
Also I'm glad the reporter didn't pick at any old wounds in the name of interview
Hope they'll continue to show stronger and better performances and gain lots of fans
T-ara fighting!

I read this article, I don't know but I really want to cry, It's just me? it's strange? uwah I really so proud that I don't leave T-ara that day because I still believe to T-ara and still wait until someone saw that all the rumored wasn't true and I believe T-ara will move on with us 'Queen's' and someone see it and write this great article about T-ara

i can't give long comment..
they have passed all sadness and pain..
and now it's time for t-ara to gain more loves, more support, more popularity, and more offering show or drama.. ^_^
they deserve to get it all.. :lol:
i just want to say that i 'm glad can join in this fandom and absolutely proud to be Queen's.. :D

Can't help but cry after reading this interview. I love Eunjung's answers. She was always mature when she needs to be and she is continuing to grow.
She is really brave. It makes me sad to remember the sad time. I can't imagine how she feels when she was asked and open the wounds,especially as she was the one mostly affected. Like she said, that scandal will most likely follow them everyday wherever they go like a label. But as long as they know that it wasn't true, they can held their heads high and continue and stay strong. They will face every trial, obstacle or typhoon. As long as there is one who believes in them, they will keep going.
I believe this character is what Korean society needs. Lately, netizens and media have too much power that they can push someone to suicide. As T-ara makes it through all what happened, it will be an example and testament that even if majority hate and criticize, one can survive and make it through for as long as one remain strong and resilient. Like T-ara.
Of course, it is because of those who support them, no matter how few. T ara and queen's, fighting.

This entire interview is the reason I love these girls. They are smart, tactful and graceful despite everything. The best part is the still have hope and I think they can weather this storm. I'm going to pray that KKS retires and someone competent takes over.

So happy to hear some wisdom and maturity from Eunjung T-ara is truly one of a kind. A group that can't be matched or brought down by negativity and hate, no matter how hard people try to destroy them.
T-ara fighting!

I wish them more success. More love. More of confidence. More of fighting Spirit. More of happiness.
I just love this girls so much.
But i laughed at the answer of eunjung regarding the 5 yr crisis. Yeah, it is a bit too early lol XD

the storm is passing everyday and the sun is shinning brighter and brighter...
the coal that started 4years ago is becoming a more and more expensive diamond...
JIYEONHYOMINEUNJUNGSOYEONQRIBORAM for many more years to come, we will forever be cheering u on through bad or good times...
T-ARA fighting !!
KKS, we dont know what kind of a man he is but we would all still need to thank him for giving us our 6 angels

With their strong heart, our girls will go through this and prove they are real and true pearl.
It's bitter sweet answers that make my cry. I hope and pray for them to find happiness and not to suffer any more.

I'm proud to be one of their fans..a year from now, two years from now, or even ten years from now, I will still be proud that I am their fan and they are my idols.. I will never grow tired of them..

Queen's OP. Seriously.. No matter how divided we are at times.. There will always be one thing we will always agree to.. These girls will always be in our hearts. I am proud to be part of this fandom
