I don't buy that especially Soyeon would publicly insult any member on twitter. Apart from being the current leader, she's rather mature and a good speaker, she knows better than this. I just don't buy the whole incident. Haters gonna hate.

I thought they left CCM as far as acting goes, didn't they? So I am under the impression that they have a different agency that deals with acting specifically. If that's true, you can't blame CCM for being liars, since it's out of their control. (But you can, of course, say "suck it", mihihihihi) Anyway, I was recently discussing Hyomin with friends, and I was really wanting to see her act in some drama, and 2-3 days later *bam*, there you go. You can thank me later.

Is it just me or does Soyeon look very tired? :S

Aah, look at Soyeon greeting in the first pic...

I'm thinking the one with attitute problems is him. I can't help but feel that the best for the girls themselves might be to break up soon. And I'm afraid it's getting more and more of a possibility. Then again, I am assuming that their current contract would be like the most restrictive thing ever. Pah.... I think I'm gonna stop reading about this, it's really wrecking my mood...

I guess I'm rather slow in catching up with the news, busy days and all. I'm feeling rather alarmed and cautious about this. I'm not all that much opposed against change itself (to be frank, I'm mostly attached with four out of the seven girls, and I'm feeling pretty safe that they would never be replaced) and I would welcome any new member additions. Though I don't really see the point of adding more members at this point in time (6-7 is probably ideal for a group), I can see ~9 members working as well (see SNSD). What seems rather unreal is the 'threat' of replacing members. Which is essentially, firing someone, and I can't see any fan particularly impressed with this. Or the remaining group members themselves, for that matter. While, again, to be frank, I could personally tolerate some members replaced, I find it hard to accept this as a well thought out move. I assume the only financial reason to do such a replacement would be if the management would be trying to enlarge its fanbase using 'new' personnalities that would appeal to an audience that T-ara currently does not. Then they'd accept the damages of losing an existing member and hope that the new gain would outweight the loss. However, I don't really see why they can't do the same with just adding members without replacing anyone. It doesn't make all that much sense. Lastly, I think that doing just a bold announcement of replacing a member and then adding 'maybe' and 'perhaps' is a bit misty as well. The way I see it, replacing a member should have been a tough decision and a well calculated plan, which does not fit with the current ambiguity of the announced 'maybe'. You don't go about your employees and say 'hey I'm thinking of firing you, maybe', unless you're absolutely sure you'll fire him. With that in mind, I'm closer to believing that they are just testing the waters to gauge the people reactions. I don't think I can accept a different reasoning. Guess I'll have to wait a couple of days more. T-ara hwaiting!

See, I was right about liking Hyomin with short hair Soyeon is a bit weird with that hat. She looks elegant and mature but less cute than usual.

Damn it, their first concert is too soon... they should wait a few months so I can fly to korea as well T_T

I like the outfit, all of them look pretty classy. Soyeon herself looks more mature but younger at the same time... not sure how is that possible

Very nice article. It was nice to read T-ara thoughts on recent matters. I hope they visit Europe soon again... I'll join them in a heartbeat

Wow, these are some awesome pics... All of them look great! How long did they actually stay in Paris?

They did half or Roly Poly (it was some sort of 'special' stage, were some (I assume French) dancers did parts of other songs (like Miss A, Secret, Kara) which ended up on Roly Poly, and T-ara joined them at around the middle of the song. Then after a while, at their own turn (after 2PM i think?) they did Why are you being like this and Lovey Dovey. Hyomin also danced on some other 'special' stage along with (if i remember correctly) Hyoyeon, hyuna and bora(?). Hyomin was very impressive there.

She didn't actually perform the songs. She entered the stage after the other girls' performance and apologized for not being able to perform as well, and the crowed all screamed for her. It was actually very nice of her to bother to make the trip, as she could have well stayed back home to rest. I, at least, wasn't expecting on seeing her there.

Gah, we missed that too... I blame it on waiting for 8 hours on the damn snow so we could get decent positions on the arean T_T So jealous looking at those pics... But then again they were so good at the concert that I don't mind that much missing the opportunity to meet them.

Some of the pics I took...
