This has to be CCM's greatest effort in writing a proper English sentence so far.

[13.04.12] T-ara reveal unit name, "T-ARA N4", and Hyomin teaser image


T-ara's unit name has been revealed.

T-ara's first unit, consisting of Hyomin, Jiyeon, Eunjung and Areum, has revealed their unit name to be "T-ARA N4" which stands for "T-ara Brand New 4".

In conjunction with the unit's name being revealed, they have also revealed a teaser poster of Hyomin. T-ara's unit name is uniquely set in the alphabetical background and Hyomin is standing in a corset costume alongside the phrase "would you mind waiting a bit longer? 4.15 am. 11:30". Hyomin was directly involved in making the 2D logo and helped in the album design.

T-ara N4 plan to show off each member's individual personality through bold and colorful accessories and styling. On the 15th at 11:30 AM, member specific teasers and a music teaser will be released for the public.

The title track "Rural Life" is produced by Double Sidekick and has a bit of a hip-hop element, but also a nostalgia element for the older generation. The funky and intense dance song will be released on May 1st.

[13.04.09] T-ara's hip-hop unit.. Hyomin caught shopping with stylist in Japan


Girl group T-ara will return. However, first four members will comeback in a unit. Eunjung, Hyomin, Jiyeon and Areum will star in T-ara's first unit. The song is called "Rural Life" but other than that, the precise concept, activity period and comeback direction is all mysterious.

The title of the song makes it seem like the song will be retro. The song title reminiscent of T-ara's previous "old style" song concept. At the end of a long controversy, T-ara will attempt to show their colors once again.

"Dispatch" covered their recent unit. On the 6th, Hyomin was immersed in shopping in downtown Tokyo with a stylist. She was in Omotesando, Harajuku and Shibuya searching for the perfect style.

Hyomin and the stylist chose unexpected items including colorful necklaces, wide-brimmed hats, etc.. At the end, a retro concept looked like a hip-hop concept. T-ara is preparing for a hip-hop warrior concept for their new song.

- Hyomin directly purchased costumes for T-ara's unit

T-ara's fashionista Hyomin turned into a stylist. On behalf of the other members, Hyomin directly bought items for the unit. Hyomin was focused while in the luxury shop La Foret in Shibuya.

Previously, Hyomin aided help in the "Roly-Poly" stage costumes. An official said, "Hyomin's extraordinary insight into styles and clothing was seen when T-ara operated a shopping mall during their debut. The members trust Hyomin will do a good job."

Hyomin was attentive while picking out the costumes. Hyomin was looked for everything from earrings, neckalces, shoes, hats and all the requirements needed for activity and made various purchases.

Hyomin sought out the advice of the employees and stylists and even asked for the opinion of the fans she met at the store.

- Shopping scenario? Back to hip-hop!

Most of the items Hyomin bought were reminiscent of hip-hop. With figure-hugging clothes and loose jumpers in unique styles. She also bought gaudy accessories and unique framed sunglasses and necklaces with a variety of decorations.

Dispatch observed Hyomin and Hyomin's direction was similar to Big Bang and Lady Gaga's. Hyomin is going for a more unconventional and experimental style of attraction.

The unit's concept can usually be inferred through the stage costumes. Already known that it's retro, but the overall style is that of "hip-hop". There seems to be a big gap between the two. The stage performance can be looked forward to because the choreography and song will have a powerful and intense hook.

- More than 20 people as back-up dancers? Powerful and hip-hop?

T-ara is loved for their easy-to-follow point choreography. However, this unit will be Brand New from head-to-toe. Hyomin began implying the transformation when she was shopping. The differentiation with hip-hop hats and colorful jumpers is the start.

It's expected that each member will be dressed based on their personality. The choreography will be bold. They also are expected to take full advantage of hand and foot-work.

T-ara's transformation can be confirmed by the dance team. For the stage choreography, a four person unit will be joined by 20 back-dancers. The point is the choreography, but the overall style will be completely different. An official said it's too early to release the specific concept.

A unique combination of members will make up T-ara's unit. Hyomin, Jiyeon and Eunjung showed off their masculine dance moves during their Japanese tour. At the very least, the unit is likely to take a "cute and youthful" twist to a radically unconventional concept.

[13.04.04] T-ara's 4-member unit to debut with "Rural Life" in early May


7-member girl group T-ara will promote as a unit.

T-ara will debut a unit consisting of Eunjung, Hyomin, Jiyeon and Areum and they recently finished recording their song and are now preparing for their activities. They are trying to debut as early as the end of this month with "Rural Life".

T-ara debuted in 2009 with "Lies" and on their Japanese single "Bunny Style!" which they recently released in Japan, they first tried units. The units were Soyeon-Areum, Boram-Qri and Hyomin-Jiyeon-Eunjung. The songs were all included as bonus tracks for various singles. This will be T-ara's first time doing a formal unit activity.

What is T-ara's reason for doing a unit? The reason for T-ara to do the unit's activity is actually because since Hwayoung withdrew from the group last year, many fans were torn by the news at T-ara's height of popularity. T-ara will form this unit to try and mend the hearts of millions of fans again. Unit groups have been popular lately with Sistar19, 2YOON, ZE:A5, Infinite-H, and various other groups.

The song "Rural Life" is produced by the hitmaker Double Sidekick T-ara will appeal to several generations, both young and old, and both men and women with their new unit song. T-ara plan to create a national dance similar to the "Roly-Poly" craze that they did with two years ago.

I voted for Soyeon, and I don't even need to give a reason for doing so :wub:

I think I like Soyeon more even though they are both my bias, but i like Soyeon's comfortable look and powerful voice.
