omg somebody's gotta translate what soyeon said in this video since it's the first time they are talking about the new members publicly.

actually in this situation, could it mean other things? like probably based on wild guessing... soyeon's contract with them might be up soon and she doesn't seem to want any extension and that's why they are trying to bring in vocalists now to give them the exposure before she leaves and also to show that they can do without her? (in this way, soyeon complained both on variety show broadcasts and possibly internally too (since she's the leader now and it seems to me like she's very vocal when it comes to issues like these also), of the heavy workload and became "prideful & lazy" as labelled by KKS, and so expressed that she might not extend the contract. in order to punish such a "rebellious" act, KKS instead of bowing down to soyeon, decides to introduce 2 vocalists (we all know how good soyeon is at singing and that's why probably the trade-off here is 2 for 1) so that should she really leave, there are people to take over.) from yesterday's twitter updates from hyomin where she posted a photo of them in 'catwoman' costumes, she questioned if they are able to be the 'infinity challenge' of the music industry, with eunjung and boram declaring their love for t-ara. could it mean that they already know drastic changes are gonna be made to their current direction and that's why they are cherishing the moments they have now? =( this is again, let me reiterate that it's based on purely WILD GUESSES and there is NO MALICE towards any of the members at all (especially soyeon since she was mentioned so explicitly here [she's my favorite member btw]).

omg soyeon's full recovery from her injury! amazing! and qri's pants... uhhh... hahahha

well yeah actually i'm just hoping for the best since the situation is more or less fixed and there's nothing we can do about it (we don't run the company). if given a choice, of course i would rather t-ara to remain as 7, but this time the situation doesn't seem to permit... so, hopefully the original t-ara members would take this challenge and show us more of themselves (overpower the new members and get them kicked out instead HURHURHUR =D ).

exactly because i feel that each SNSD member is able to bring forth their individual charms more so than how the t-ara members do. that's why in this way, i think the way to motivate them is to instill 'competition' so that the others who are not showing much will improve themselves =) either way, its not a bad thing for fans should boram and qri do more right? isn't that what we want to see instead of them falling into the shadows for each performance?

its rather pessimistic to think this way... rather, why not think of it as a healthy competition for boram and qri to up their game? they wouldn't want to fall behind the new members when the time comes since they're the seniors, so they might be doing more for t-ara in the future? that way, we as fans will get to see more of them, and maybe then they will start shining maybe in variety shows and performances too

visuals + backup vocals & dancers. that's what u get when ur in a girl group i guess. not everybody is able to play the important role because there can only be this much a group can contain. somebody's gotta be the "flower vase". and isn't it better that they are still in t-ara rather than getting an unjustified boot for how much they've suffered to bring the group to this status?

that is actually good news. probably its only me who felt that soyeon gets to sing a lot more in each song as compared to the other members. and not that i'm talking down on the other members, but its quite evident that soyeon never seemed to be able to take a break since i think the other members might not be able to sing as well as her (ok i feel that actually hyomin is the closest to her vocal abilities but not as good in control, while eunjung is just a little behind hyomin in terms of control). don't get me wrong, i love soyeon (she's my fav member =D ) but i guess she needs somebody else who can help sing her lines if she is unable to perform for some reason [remember recently when she was on crutches and still had to be on stage to sing? =( ]. i hope those 2 will just be able to do that. and as for the line distribution, i feel just like everyone of u, but i think the amount that boram and qri, hwayoung and the rest will be singing should remain the same, if not, similar. the only difference will be the amount of singing that soyeon and hyomin will do, which will most likely be distributed to the 2 new members. also, remember "good person"? probably with more singers in the group, we will get to hear more ballads like that in the future too! so it's not all a bad addition i think. no worries guys! if SNSD can get each of their members a couple of lines in each song, T-ara will be able to do so too! =)

Same sentiments here! I don't feel that it's all bad considering 1: none of the original members is gonna leave and 2: new members might be able to help with creation of better and wider music range. I think the line distribution thingy can be resolved in the future even with the addition of members as long as the song is suitable for them to sing (for eg. Hyomin and soyeon could distribute some of their lines to eunjung and jiyeon etc).

Guys relax... At least it's good that none of the original members will be removed, as previously feared. I believe the original members have all the experience to prevent themselves from getting chopped from the group as he had said. So now it has only come to the point on whether u would support the new members, or only the 7 that we have all known...

hyomin is such a... weird girl. no... probably just very dorky. but i absolutely love her! =)

yup but unfortunately she's injured

it appears that she is injured (her leg). i saw some photos of them for some event today and she was on crutches. poor girl =( hope she will be well soon!

omg today is like t-ara twitter explosion day. they've been tweeting since early morning (started by eunjung). i wonder what are they up to (since translation is not up yet). everybody seems to be present except for soyeon. i hope to see her joining in soon! fans like me need the 7ara assurance u know... plus she wasnt present in the nuclear event yesterday too when she would usually be in most of t-ara's promotional events

t-ara is back at work again today it seems with the nuclear event thingy. looks like they're all ok with nothing much going on. they are getting back onto twitter too (soyeon and qri changing display pics and eunjung and hwayoung are replying their friends). i think KKS is just trolling us. eunjung, hyomin, jiyeon and soyeon are also set to play in roly poly 2 musical in june so that means they should all be members of t-ara still. i'm guessing there wont be any change or probably just add another member (hyoyoung maybe). i think thats about it. doubt any member is leaving.

I've got a feeling this change will be a new concept with regards to idol groups. I think he might be planning on "expanding" t-ara into a 8-9 member group with probably 2 or 1 inactive member... Something like a football team with reserves. Cuz only by doing so, he is able to get his "competition" within the group for exposure. With thoughts that t-ara members might have individual activities as time goes by, he can use those in the reserves to maintain the original number in the group when it comes to group activities. And he will only promote the member from the reserve list into the main group if he feels that that member is good enough and probably take away the ineffective member from the main. So... I think all 7 current members will be safe (as in they will still be a part of t-ara), just that the weaker members might be "temporarily" frozen from main activities until they show their worth.

what the crap. prideful and lazy? they've been slogging for u for so long without decent breaks and he had the thought of them of being lazy? if any current member goes, i think i wont be supporting t-ara as much as i do now. in my opinion, not a single member deserves to be replaced or kicked out. they are all good in their own way.

yeah i hope i'm right too. i don't think KKS is dumb enough to make erratic changes like that when t-ara is doing so well now, plus the upcoming concert that requires so much preparation, and the photobook with all the photographs of all the t-ara members to be released, and the formation of an official fan club. it will be very odd to want to replace members especially at this point in time with so much being planned for the current t-ara. i think its just a case of bad translation. we should all relax

actually... there are some criticisms to the translation by allkpop... it might simply just mean "This change not only includes group concept, but also the members' ". *take note of the apostrophe after the word, it might have been missed out in the translation* Note that probably they misinterpreted it in that way, and what was meant was that not only the group concept will change but also each individual member's concept will as well. so... relax!

probably he meant change in members as in leaders or something? might be some information that's lost in translation... anyway if there's really gonna be a change in members... i think those in danger are jiyeon (acting), eunjung (acting), boram (health?), and probably qri (not enough impact?)... =( but i hope the 7 will stay. t-ara wouldn't be the same without any of them. hwayoung is feeling so comfortable with the rest now, hyomin is the spark in the group, soyeon is undoubtedly the voice of t-ara etc etc

Omg I hope nobody leaves the group... I really like them all together! :(

although the break might be shorter than most of us expected, i guess t-ara members wouldn't mind. a break is still a break and they must really be enjoying themselves now (except for jiyeon). eunjung went out with her friend yesterday i think (as mentioned on her twitter) and i guess the others as well. =)

even though there's a huge difference between them and the one at 2nd place, but its already an accomplishment and i hope they gain more recognition and become more popular in japan! take over japan T-ara!

wow qri looked good in there! anyway it seems like t-ara is finally getting some rest after all those killer schedules from the past months. they seem to only be attending such events and not all the members are needed. also, doesnt seem like they are doing any performances at the moment also. hope they can really make good use of the free time they have now and rest!

hahah eunjung's still in indonesia i think. no idea where hwayoung, qri and jiyeon are. soyeon was asking boram if she wanted to join her or replace her to watch the movie on twitter earlier today. lol but boram didnt want to i think as the movie is not about animals!
