Can’t wait any longer. How I wish today is July 3rd.
20mins MV-drama? I won’t mind at all because I’m addicted to CCM MV drama because only CCM can make and do it better than anyone else.
Day By Day will fit futuristic concept well I bet. Because CCM has a lot of great ideas about their MV dramas…

If the backdrop is going to be futuristic.. i hope it looks decent lol
I'm already traumatized by the LQ of the Japanese MV xD
But futuristic eh... I'm anticipating this comeback, even with that extra member... <-< ;; >_>;; >->;;
I wonder what their stage outfits would look like

[12.06.13] T-ara coming back with futuristic 20-minute music video drama on July 3rd



T-ara's comeback is confirmed for July 3rd with their new member Areum.
On July 3rd, T-ara will release their new album "Day by day" followed by "Mirage" on August 15th and "T-ara's Effect" on October 15th.
Along with their new songs, they will release a 20-minute music video drama starring themselves based in the year 2330 with the backdrop of an extravagant SF (science-fiction) futuristic city. The music video's plot will tell a sorrowful story. Like T-ara's previous music videos and music video drama series, Cha Euntaek is the director. For the promotions, T-ara's eighth member Areum will join, and in the music video drama, T-ara's ninth member Dani will appear.
Meanwhile, T-ara's fanclub opens on the 14th of July and their first solo concert will be held on August 11th. This month, they will be touring Japan.

At least I don't feel quite as awkward as with the 14-year-old...I'll reserve judgment for when I hear her sing lol. (Guys, please don't be okay with this just because you think she's cute...although she did look better in the other pics.)
If good singer --> Welcome!
If not as good as hyped --> LIES. KKS, NO. >.<

Well ... anything could happen before December. Seeing how random KKS is ..
However, it's nice to have an English speaker in the group. She looked talented, but the age gap is quite alot..

No offense dude, but it's hard to take anything you say seriously anymore. When you're not running around spreading conspiracy theories you're badmouthing other members like Jiyeon and calling for her to be kicked out of the group while speculating that the older members will be forced out to make room for the new members. While to a certain extent I agree with some of the points you've made, you're almost extremist in some of your beliefs. I've also seen you on sites like AKPF laughing it up about how crap some of the members are and joking around with people who claim to despise T-ara; at this point you don't even sound like a real fan of the girls but someone who simply hates KKS. It's kind of hypocritical.
I'm going to simply reiterate what I said a few months back: at this point, we don't know anything concrete so speculating that members will be kicked out is just that: speculation, and nothing more. Furthermore, while I'm not thrilled about a 14 year-old joining the group, T-ara (and any other K-Pop group for that matter) are marketed towards Koreans first and foremost, so the only thing that's probably irking fans right now are the additions, not the member's ages. As people have already said, several idols have debuted around the same age, and the reason Dani will probably debut in December is so she can turn 15 and promote alongside the rest of the group without hindering their schedules.
Do not take this as me giving a stamp of approval for KKS's antics or the ridiculous member additions...I simply want to know if you're even a fan of the group at this point as you seem to be more interested in KKS than anything. It's unsettling to see some of the things you say here in contrast to some of the comments you make on other sites. As for me, I'm more worried about whether or not T-ara will survive this massive restructuring. This whole ordeal runs the risk of alienating T-ara's existing fanbase, who loves T-ara for the music, image, and members that currently comprise the lineup. Like you said, "If it ain't' broke, don't fix it," and I'm just not sure whether T-ara will survive it.

CCM should leave SNSD out of this if they did the comparison cause it's not necessary it would be really difficult for her to be accepted and if people are comparing her already it would be more. On the other side I can't and won't accept her I don't have anything personal with this girl but I just can't accept the fact that a child is joining T-ARA she should be in school now she is too young and unexperienced to debut in a great group like T-ARA sorry CCM you screwed it up as always

I like SNSD too but is it really necessary to say that she's Girls' Generation Yuri look-alike?(is it just me or she don't resembles Yuri?).Publicity much,huh CCM??
Sigh,I was really hoping the 14 year-old addition news was a joke but it seems that my nightmare has come true.T-ara's schedules are really harsh,tight,murderous and there are almost no gap in between.I'm not looking down on her but I doubt she manage to "survive" without collapsing twice or more during her time with the girls.
Like Scatter-88mil said,I too can see the potential of Boram and Qri leaving the group - either by their own will or been forced by that scumbag.IF what KKS claimed that these two girls are really good singers is true (which I doubt),Soyeon might leaves the group too.
I'm starting to worry if T-ara might be a laughing stock from netizens for having a Mother-Daughter years gap a.k.a Auntie Boram and Auntie Qri.

Why are the news feeds not puting a smile on my face lately? Give me some positivity, CCM!
As inevitable as it will be, I hope July doesn't come so soon.
Boo-urns!

KKS! Can you please stop with your stupid ideas. You are on your way to RUIN this group! Seven is pretty good enough for T-ARA. If adding member just to upgrading their talents and skills, you better focusing on Qri and Boram. You should explore new side of those two. Adding new member to eight or to nine or like a football team is not a good idea after all.
Use your brain dude. Why fixing something that isn't broken? I'm trying not to be mean. You did it to Co-Ed, to 5 Dolls or SPEED or GAngKiz even with your biggest money maker T-ARA? So, adding new member will covering the absent member who actively in modelling or acting? Are you kidding me, KKS?
If you want to add two new member, do it NOW! Why it must take till end of the year to reveal the new member? Are you afraid of being killed by someone like me? I'm totally getting sick with your stupid ideas.

I don't know how to react to this.
First I don't agree with the addition of the members and now this.
In my opinion, this is bull and that kks is toying around with the girls.
Very saddening... 7-ara

Terribly sorry to burst your bubble but he said the member addition is taking place in July, when the 2nd album is released.
Optimistically, I hope he changes his mind but considering that his brain is floating somewhere in outer space, I wouldn't expect much from that ridiculous clown.
It's bad enough that he even threatened to kick out any of the current members if they don't support his decision (or rather, submit to it) - worse off, he said it front of the press, making himself even more of a nutted retard. This guy's blacklist-happy - during when the 3 KARA members filed a lawsuit against DSP back in 2010, KKS was the a$$hole who actually said that those 3 members needed to be blacklisted from the entertainment business permanently - and got a good amount of flak for it.
The man's a crackpot douchebag who needs his belly and balls stomped on with cleats just to knock some sense into him.
Hell, if the CIA frames him for anything, I'll be jumping in joy. If anything, what T-ara needs is a CEO change or even bigger, an agency change. Any other agency would be willing to take T-ara in behind-the-scenes if CCM f**ks T-ara up any further.
Sorry if I ramble on - my hatred for that son of a b!tch because of his lousy decisions remains strong.
I've worked under a person who was just like him (thinks he's all high'n'mighty, doesn't like to be defied one bit etc.) and suffice to say, it was a rather sh!tty experience.

Yes,just like scatter_88mil said,the 2 new members will only be added in July,when they will be performing their first ever concert in Korea and from that moment,they will promoting together.I can sure that the concert will be pretty messed up.All the lines distributions will have to rearrange amongst themselves - not to mention the new choreographies.I can bet Qri and Boram will just dance,since they practically have little to no lines at all even with 6 members - unless the two new members are rappers too,Hwayoung won't be affected greatly.I'm not really sure about Jiyeon and Eunjung because their lines can be on and off.However,I still think all members' lines will be reduced no matter how much or how little.
Soyeon and mostly Hyomin,the main and lead vocalist respectively,will be terribly affected by that.Heh,when she and Eunjung said that they were fine about the addition during an interview before going to Europe,I never once believe what they said.They are obviously abide by the decision make by that douchebag and KKS,that's a good script *clap* *clap* .Seriously,other members and the most noticeable,Boram's eyes literally almost crying and they were trying so hard to hold it back.
They are tortured by that so-called-CEO and he dares to call them lazy,thinking highly of themselves,prideful and whatever stuff and nonsense AND trying to threaten them by saying he'll kick anyone out if they do not support the addition.And exactly how are they suppose to be nice towards the new members who literally ride onto the popularity that has been built since 2009?I can imagine they are having a big fight at their dorm - especially our leader since she's well known among her fans for being honest and outspoken.
I guess the T in T-ara stands for tired or TORTURED ....30 years of experience your butt.
(p/s:scatter,I almost can't recognize you for having a new profile picture,LOL)

[12.05.22] T-ara team up with TTOMA to help raise money for the less fortunate

No surprise for me.. We all know CCM is using T-ara to boost the popularity of "GANGKIZ".. CCM maybe you would want other T-ara members to bath for Gangkiz members or maybe be their maids who hold their things or maybe be their personal maids to fetch some errands to them or maybe make T-ara members the one who prepare their foods and maybe the one who cut their fingernails or cut their hair, etc.
BTW. Thats what you called " USERS"

Frankly speaking, I'm not a fan of Hyomin's fashion style. So Hyomin being Gangkiz's style director made me raised an eyebrow. Lol. Anyway, using T-ara for Gangkiz has to stop. This is like the time they use T-ara for 5Dolls's performance..
T-ara can always be a mentor to them but not to this kind of extend.
Looking forward to Gangkiz's debut performance tomorrow!

[12.05.17] T-ara's Hyomin to be Gangkiz's style director for their debut stage





Amateur girl group Gangkiz will be styled by T-ara's Hyomin for their debut stages.
Before their debut, Gangkiz was helped by Hyomin for their music video. Hyomin will also help as their stylist director for their first broadcast by coming up with the concept and buying the clothing for the members, which she hopes will be eye-catching.
Hyomin became a stylist for Gangkiz's "HONEY HONEY" which is a dance style song, so she needed to find clothes to fit that concept. She looked for the past two days around Seoul to find the perfect stage outfits.
Hyomin is known for her airport fashion and being a fashion icon among idols, and her fashion choices often become popular online.
Hyomin said, "Starting with May 18th's 'Music Bank' and then 'Music Core' and 'Inkigayo', please expect a lot from Gangkiz's 'HONEY HONEY'. Please pay lots of attention, since I'm participating as their fashion stylist."
Gangkiz's mini-album was released yesterday, and their drama music video was released the day before. Both have been receiving hot reactions.

sorry, but i dislike the "beating T-ara or pass them" response of them... they are under the same management right? i mean... nothing i just don't feel like it... they just keep it to themselves because they may have nega comments like to me, it make me annoy somehow, but i'm trying to understand and look at the positive side though...
and the Honey honey trailer, i agree with sleepystudent, seemed like similar concept with LD and Cry cry...
well, i was hoping CCM wouldn't be focus too much of promoting those new girl group and just ignore T-ara, well but it is more interesting if T-ara would be in different management right? XD but the only problem in changing different management is that you are back to zero, and a possiblity of them being separate, >.<
well, anyway, fighting to T-ara and GangKiz too

[12.05.15] Gangkiz to T-ara, "We're sorry and thankful"





Gangkiz expresses their gratefulness for T-ara's support.
Ahead of their official debut on May 18th, Gangkiz said in an interview, "We're sorry, but thank you."
For Gangkiz's debut project, T-ara accompanied Gangkiz as staff for 9 days and 8 nights to Europe.
Leader Hwang Jihyun revealed her gratitude for T-ara by saying, "I'm sorry, but thank you. They weren't required to come with, but they willingly helped us. T-ara also had no break in Europe, but even though they suffered a lot in Korea with their busy schedules, they came and helped. They must of struggled a lot, even making video narration's for us, so thank you."
As singers, Gangkiz want to be able to exceed T-ara's success.
Leader Hwang Jihyun said, "We though it would be great if we could pass, or even just reach T-ara's level. We'd like to become like T-ara, and T-ara, if we can compete in good faith with each other, we can both develop our skills better. In the future, we'd like to develop and grow like T-ara has and show a better appearance."

maknae23 and Zzura have pretty much said whatever I would have said.
All things considered, the name GangKiz still sounds ridiculous. If CCM has even learned ANYTHING, it's to never have the fans of another idol group of the same company to make the names. I'm pretty sure the T-ara members laughed and snickered when they read some of the names, considering they were mostly directed against CCM and KKS himself.
Come to think of it, one can argue that the reason of using T-ara to promote GK is because KKS is paranoid that GangKiz would fail badly - which more or less goes to say that he doesn't have much faith in his own new group, yet alone whoever's in charge of the marketing/promoting them. What a mophead XD.

Why do they need to USE T-ARA members for Gang Kiss? (first it was Gang Kids, then it was Gang Kidz and now it's GangKiz which sounds like Gang Kiss)
They USED Hyomin for video editing, the whole T-ARA for photo shooting and now Eunjung as voice narrator for their video. Well, I hope T-ARA are happy doing all these for their "juniors". Their "juniors" look hot though.
Anyway, happy that I got to hear Eunjung again after her touching narration in Yangpa's new music video.

[12.05.09] Quick News - Eunjung to narrate Gangkiz's travel document video





T-ara's Eunjung will narrate her junior group Gangkiz's videos documenting their trip in Europe.
Gangkiz's agency will release via a Naver Music Special at 12:00 KST six 10-minute videos about Gangkiz's trip 9 days and 8 night trip to Europe.
Today it'll begin with Gangkiz's travel in Europe. T-ara fans can expect Eunjung's prudent and enthusiastic voice.
