This is too risky, either they'll gain more hate or get love again
anyway, I wish the very best for them
Korean, please don't let them down, they already suffer too much, please give them chance
is this means they will delay their korean comeback again?
please, comeback ASAP my moodboosters
p.s. everyone keep saying Dani, Dani, Dani. Who's that?? #InDenial #JiyeonForeverMaknae

The sub-unit rumors weren't necessarily proven to be false...it could have been that CCM just wasn't ready for the news to be announced yet, and obviously the mention of Double Sidekick being the primary producer was incorrect. The girls are sticking with Shinsadong Tiger for their producer for the track.
And yes, Hwayoung was expelled from the group, but of course they aren't going to put that in their official announcement for this sub-unit. Which sounds better, being expelled or withdrawing from the group? Haha.
Like someone else in this thread said, "Rural Life" sounds like it could be a very rough translation at this point, so who knows? Or maybe it has to do with their concept. Either way, it sounds intriguing, and with Shinsadong Tiger behind it you know it's going to be a catchy, glittery dance-pop song.
As far as the press release stating that it will "mend people's hearts," it's more or less saying that this is CCM's way of slowly reintroducing the group back into the public eye. At one point, EunJiMin were the group's three most popular members, so of course CCM wants to remind people of why they were considered the holy trinity in the first place, and Areum is the new kid in town, so she's in the unit to get more exposure as well.
Ultimately, it's like some people were saying...I don't think T-ara really has anything to lose in Korea at this point. People are going to hate regardless of what they do, but people will also still buy their music and support them if their output is good. Just look at Sexy Love, it may have not done as well as their past releases, but they put out arguably one of the best songs of their careers and killed their performances, and the song did pretty damn good. I think this sub-unit is a good way of testing the waters, so to speak, and I'm sure that it doesn't hurt that sub-units are the big thing in K-Pop right now, like you said; if this goes well, we'll get a song from the full group in a month or two, and if it fails, we'll have a bit longer to wait than we thought. I'm inclined to believe that it will do well though.

Banisuta = Bunny Style..kinda make sense..
~Imagination~
Soyeon: ok, our 1st stage today so let's do well.
T-ara: T-ara, hwaiting!
Staff: * comes in with a box* Excuse me. I have a package for T-ara
T-ara: ???
Eunjung: *received it and took the box to the table then opens it* Wahh! KYEOWO!!
Others: *check out what's in the box*
Jiyeon: *takes out some items* Rabbit ears, rabbit tail, rabbit paw?? o.O
Hyomin: *facepalm* Sajangnim starts his wacky idea again.

Just so happy to see jungiee... Man, that special stage was really something... This made my day. Thanx a lot rob. I will definitely watch this show.
Loads of love n kisses to my princess....

waaaahhhhh
I'm so happy right now
*jumping on my chair*
I'm not going to pessimist about critics from the haters, whatever
happy~ happy~

Did KBS even say they offered? I thought they only said she was being "considered". xP
This isn't that surprising, but it's funny, they all say they would like to hire T-ara, but don't actually have the guts to go through with it. xD Who knows how many shows these stations had planned for them before the controversy. I'll bet the producers are all waiting to see who will be the first to just go ahead and hire one of them. I'm glad they said good things about her (which never would have happened a few months ago), but still, it's obviously wrong to use her name for publicity if they weren't even considering her.

2013.. I dont wish or expect much. Nothing more but just want them to claim their previous popularity and love back. Thats more then enough for me at thsi moment.

The videos were made by KpopItalia but it is based on the Gaon's National Physical Albums Ranking and Online Download Chart from mid-November 2011 to mid-November 2012. Check out their channel for the other parts of the chart.
Top 20 (Lovey Dovey #1)


Top 40-21 (Day by Day #28)

Sometimes it seems that the only thing that can save the girls from all the bad publicity that KKS caused them its their own sheer hard work..
KKS bungles the Hwayoung episode... other idol groups would've gotten sidelined (read:unemployed) for a year or so. And when (or even if) they comeback they won't be relevant anymore in the K-pop industry, plus members will be leaving left & right. Just looked at what happened to Jewelry. They still can't recover from their scandal, long hiatus & original member exodus. Not T-ara. They worked their butts off with Sexy Love, even while the Antis were still foaming at their mouths calling the girls to disband. Not only it was a commercial success (top 5 in both Gaon & Oricon monthly charts) it also gave some respect back and they proudly started attending events instead of hiding & crying for months...
Now KKS made another needlessly stupid controversy, well once again T-ara is impressing me. They made a live Music Bank performance just a day after the articles came out and is continuing to busy themselves with work. Although netizens used the word "determination" to bash T-ara a lot in the past but to me "hard work & determination" is really what they are all about. Its good if they can get some rest once in awhile, but T-ara needs to dig deep, go into crisis mode and work their ass off again, thanks to KKS' bumbling management.

Look at the crowd, bunch of ugly, fat, jealous girls.
Look at the crowd, bunch of ugly, fat, jealous girls.

This is one thing all Queen's should be aware of.. And I'm really proud and thankful of the K-Queen's for their awesome fanchants in almost every possible performance that T-ara has. Whether 1, 10 or 100 they chant proudly. And the J-Queen's recently was awesome.. The Showcases and the concerts... When our girls hear the fanchants they know that it's Queen's out there with them, not just some random fan.

Although it was an unfortunate incident, I really don't want Queen's to start bashing the V-Queens.. They have showed much love & support to T-ara even through the controversy and were quite visible during 'the fans vs anti-fans' comment wars in youtube and other sites. This could've happened anywhere when passionate fans are met with bad event organizers.
Barring that nobody got hurt (physically or mentally) I hope that the girls would just think 'daebak' and actually get a kick out of this (er.. bad choice of words). I mean do you remember any other K-pop act getting Beatles-style bum rushed on stage by a whole crowd? (the single wierdo who tried to kidnap SNSD's Taeyon on stage doesn't count). It's the T-ara effect you guys, the poor V-Queens just couldn't help themselves
But on the other hand.. the organizers (and indirectly CCM) are really the ones to blame. Let's be honest, almost all T-ara fans dream about getting close to their idols and the organizers should've known this and take measures. T-ara are international superstars and they should've got the protection and first rate treatment they deserve. I don't want Soyeon & Co. to lose their friendly attitude and closeness with the fans but CCM should've made it clear with organizers that all fan interactions should be done in a safe and comfortable manner for the girls.
I just hope that the girls won't leave Vietnam with a bad impression (no one can deny that they did get MUCH love there & Vietnam is a big market for them) and =vice-versa= the Vietnamese fans won't get sour on T-ara because people are criticizing the V-Queens so much..

don't worry eunjung
kindness will always win
forget them, they're not worth for fighting for

[12.11.16] Eunjung “Want to forget it all. Please withdraw the sanctions against Five Fingers’ Production Company”


- Heard about the sanctions against Five Fingers’ production company while promoting in Japan
- Told the Management Entertainment Association “Want to forget it all”



T-ara’s Eunjung has requested the Management Entertainment Agency to withdraw its boycott of Five Fingers’ production company YEIN E&M.
The Korean Entertainment Management Association (KEMA), in any interview with eDaily StarIn on the afternoon of the 16th, said about its sanction procedure against YEIN E&M “A sudden change in variable occurred after the news spread that we had sent out documents [regarding YEIN E&M to our members], right now, our procedure is put on halt.” A related person from KEMA said “It is because T-ara’s Eunjung, who is currently promoting in Japan, has requested KEMA to withdraw the sanctions against Five Fingers’ production company YEIN E&M regarding the dispute about her being forced off the drama.”
This afternoon, Eunjung expressed to KEMA “Putting aside right or wrong, I want to put down everything related to Five Fingers and forget it all. If the sanctions against the production company can be withdrawn, then let’s just pretend this did not happen.”
Because of Eunjung’s request, KEMA is currently figuring out how to solve this problem. YEIN E&M had forced an actor to leave after completion of contract signing, poster shooting, script reading and the press conference, so this cannot be seen only as a problem between one actor and one production company. To prevent similar things from happening again in the future, KEMA decided to respond by taking boycotting measures. Another related person said “Although Eunjung’s opinion should be placed first in resolving this issue, but from KEMA’s perspective, some measures have to be put into place to prevent this from happening again in the future.”
Today, KEMA had delivered documents to its members and member companies (around 130) regarding Five Finger’s unilateral termination of Eunjung. The document said “We were determined to rectify the normal drama production relations and had requested for the actor’s return to the drama and for an undertaking not to allow such things to happen again, but YEIN as usual remained silent, avoiding responsibility and deceiving our Association”, “We hope that our members will confirm with our Association first before deciding to appear in YEIN E&M productions. It is our plan to implement this for 2 years (until December 2014)." [in effect meaning that without any special reasons, KEMA members should not appear in YEIN E&M dramas.]
This measure is the follow up to Eunjung's sudden termination from SBS’s drama Five Fingers in August. At the time, KEMA and the Korean Broadcasting and Actors Union (KBAU) had, on the 28th, issued its protests against SBS and Five Fingers’ production company YEIN E&M for forcing Eunjung off the drama. YEIN E&M had also expressed its stance, stating that it would take strong legal measures if Eunjung’s side continues to make unreasonable propositions. The two sides were always in opposition.

More of Eunjung's response from other articles:
"I do not want more people to be harmed because of me. Thinking back, the production company could have suffered a lot of damage because of me. Although I am grateful for KEMA's decision to protect actors, now that it is all in the past, I hope this can end well."
http://news.nate.com.../20121116n26855
A related person from CCM said "Although we were very angry at the time, it is already in the past. Eunjung wants to greet everyone in a good production in the future. She hopes that this incident can end smoothly and satisfactorily."
http://news.nate.com.../20121116n26515

Soyeon was busy texting to me *delusion mode on*. Eunjung was swearing at KKS even in her sleep.
Just note that they travelled economy class. Hopefully because the better seats were sold out beforehand, not because KKS is cutting down their expenses because of that incident.

I'm satisfied with this confession!!
A fangirl gave Riki to eunjung and when she was pushed away, All the member including T-ara's manager asked not to be so harsh to fans!!! Right after they entered airport, Eunjung said that she thought only the ones whom she saw at the beginning were the fans there but when she saw the crowd inside she was surprised!! Also during the interview she said " all fans together from a different country...thought it was not our first concert, but showcase.. to see us they showed so much support... I dont know, As much (support) we got, we wanted to gave them back but since we were unable to do that, I really feel sorry!!(excuse some of the mistranslation if there is any because I'm not korean)
What tore my heart was when hyomin said" these days we are just getting" and she was crying when My Princess Eunjung blowed down her head too... these days were really the most hard times of their lives when it's just a age to have fun and gather Happy memories ! BTW, the piano and guitar sound should have been more low!! Rather than making mood, it was irritating me! I couldn't hear properly!!
Trying to change the mood, they brought up happy memories they had but their facial expression!! They were really trying to be happy and cover their pain and tears with their smiles... I really feel poor of myself that i have to watch my fav group like this and the only thing I can do for them is to comment like this!! T-ara hwaiting!! Eunjung, hyomin, Soyeon, Jiyeon. Boram, Qri and Areum.. stay strong and Queen's will always be support and love you!! We are the most loyal fandom and will never leave you sides!!

First Netizens wants to know what really happen, and then when T-ara decides to talk they show negative comments..Whats wrong with them...

that's our T-ara, humble as always

THAT. IS. SO. CRUEL.

Ok I just saw it in GomTV. Nothing new from the dance version except more screen time and close ups of the robots/clowns. I think it's sort of a cleaner edit. I also think they decreased the sexy dance moves.
Tomorrow: another MV with cover dance from different cities in the world.
Next week: another MV with Little T-ara!
Yay! So many surprises in store. I never expected them to release many MVs this comeback.
I like it.
It's as if they're saying to those haters/knetizens and those broadcasting stations cutting them off from shows: "if you can't air our shows or if you cut us from shows, we will produce lots of MVs to be circulated in the internet so people can still watch us." Besides, through MVs and any other videos uploaded in the internet, they may piss off those irrationally-hating-K-netizens BUT they can surely capture the hearts of everyone else around the world.
Using the power of the internet to their advantage!
Hmmm. KKS, I really hope you know what you're doing. You can't afford to make mistakes this time.
T-ara Fighting!

wow..there is so many MV at this come back..it's like say "eat this haters" hahahahahah

The choreography is great
I don't understand why people said the choreography is weird
This is obviously one of my favorite choreography
And it's way better than Day By Day choreography. Sorry, Jonte

duh I'm very nervous about their comeback
really hope I could still hear the loud fanchant

dudududu I only see Jiyeon as maknae, what should I do??
