Honestly, by the preview I think this will only be a video journal/Behind the Scene of their Int'l fanmeets..
But You know this just reminds me about what Kim C said in a talk show I saw in KBS World this week (Do Dream? forgot the title), anyway they end up talking about celebrities and scandals, I forgot the whole line but the the gist was ~that sometimes its just better to keep silent & ignore the scandals. People will say & think what they want and often giving explanations will only make the scandals bigger. But celebrity scandals do fade away by time. The most important thing its to push through & prove yourself to the public through your actions and work.
And I think T-ara has done this.. Even a 'delusional' diehard fan like myself was suprised that T-ara had the guts to have a comeback on September but they did their own thing and just look at the results in the Gaon Chart for September 2012:
Gaon Chart National Digital Singles Ranking: Sexy Love is #3
Gaon Chart National Physical Albums Ranking: Mirage is #5
Online Downloads For The Month : Sexy Love #5
Online Chart – Streams : Sexy Love #5

Ok its not perfect, but basically T-ara was the most succesful girl band in September despite the haters and that they were competing with the likes of Psy, FT Island, G-Dragon & TVXQ.. and if we add in the international fan meets, photobook sales, Japan promos? They did much better that most idol groups with or without the shadow of a scandal above their heads.
Let the Antis fool themselves in thinking that everyone hates T-ara.. but the fact is obviously some one is still buying T-ara products. (I'm eagerly waiting for my preorder of 'The Best of T-ara Photobook+Album+DVD combo from Yesasia (thanks diadem forum for that link)

I don't think so. She didn't do it in the two or three perfs I checked. The look on Areum's face when she does that is super cute, so I won't complain

Did Qri put her hand on Aurem during her second part in all the previous performances?
This is the first time I noticed it and it was a really cute touch!

I am really happy they are doing well in the rankings despite everything. Congrats T-ara!
While they haven't won #1 yet, I take comfort in the idea that they would have been #1 anyway if the controversy never broke out... But still, while all those haters kept saying they would flop, I am happy they are not flopping at all and instead, they are in fact doing very well in the rankings!!! I wouldn't be surprised that... in a hypothetical scenario that all the artists currently promoting right now also have controversies attached to them (for equality's sake)...T-ara would win as #1. I'm optimistic that they would win for real... soon... anyway. Even if not for this comeback, then their next comeback.
Looks like their successful HK showcase also boosted their confidence a bit, their auras are getting better.
I love their hot red outfits today, it brings out nice strong colors in their performance, and it suits the title Sexy Love as well.
It's a huge relief to see Eunjung's straight hair again in a music show. Also Qri's long hair.
As a Woojung fan, I am still wondering if Jangwoo met and had a chat with them especially Eunjung backstage. I hope so.
Looking forward to their next performances.
Good luck T-ara!!! Fighting!!!

I just realized how good weekends are when T-ara have their comebacks.. a new live performance each day, thursday-to-sunday YAY!

Nice!!! I love their card outfits!
Boram with white hat
Soyeon's huge ribbon reminds me of her ribbon in their 2009 performance of Good Person (/watch?v=0jVk3BVBiqQ)
Eunjung's hair is improving but it still needs more improvement. I miss her black hair!!!
Areum's hair... what happened? I said in my previous post that I'm starting to like her sleekly brushed up blonde hair, but in this performance... I looks like she once had a sleekly brushed up hair but because she danced lots of times and changed outfits, her hair got disorganized and she forgot to fix it. Or something like that.
Okay the fan chants were still good and audible... but I prefer the powerful energetic and enthusiastic fan chants in Inkigayo last Sunday. That's my favorite. Today, it seems like the fans got tired and the fan chants had lower pitch than the Inkigayo fan chants. LOL Or perhaps they were asked to tone it down because it was too loud? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I'm just comparing. I'm still happy that there are still fans in Korea who would be willing to share their voices to do those fan chants.
While I admit I was quite sad at first that they didn't win today in M! Countdown, I guess I became happy when thinking about the fact that they were in top 2!!! I mean that's quite an achievement for such a controversial comeback of a now hated girl group in Korea!!! Also, I guess KARA's win is just fine because they have been promoting longer than T-ara and they were in fact against Psy last week. So I guess it's just about time for KARA to win.
I am still hoping that next week T-ara would finally win. While they would be up against other powerful groups who also have many fans... I'm a bit worried... but, well, I am still hoping for the best for T-ara. Let's vote for them again at Mnet this Friday to Monday!!!
Please continue to vote for T-ara's SL in Eat Your Kimchi because F.T. Island is gaining many points so fast I'm scared that it would take over SL.
Also in GomTV... please continue to vote. SL is down to #2.
Looking forward to their next performances this weekend especially Music Bank!!! WooJung!
T-ara Fighting!!!

You will be amazed that actually still many koreans love and support them.. Otherwise they will not get 3rd rank in KPOP chart just in a week after the first comeback stage in Mcountdown.. The haters actually only small number yet they are very aggressive in the net.. But the T-ara fans in Korea always support them as you could see in their live performance

yeah! super loud fan chants and screaming. Lots of energy and It looks so much better live than in the music video. Its great to finally know which member sings which part. Props to Boram for taking that high part before the chorus and also to Eunjung. Haven't heard her sing that high since TTL. Areum and Qri dancing together is just jaw dropping, I'm gonna put that on repeat.

Yes! this video is much better. I don't have to fast forward over the man hauling in Jiyeon into the room anymore. And I like how they focus more without cutting to another shot. By the way, does anyone else feel that the timing of the dance still does not match the music? It still looks weird. I think they need to re-time the video to make it match.

Love t-ara not only their songs,
more than 87% , still count,,, of my video hardrive , occupied by t-ara
hope all t-ara songs, have music video or live perf...

From what I've read on various sites, some people feel that it is inappropriate for children to be performing to a song called "Sexy Love", even though "Little T-ara" is only performing the opening 35 seconds which is supposed to be the robotic dance (I guess it's more of the association with the song as far as it's lyrics and title rather than the dance moves they'll be performing themselves). Also, I've heard mention that M! Countdown has a +15 television rating so they feel that having underaged children on a show that's targeted towards people 15 and older is also not appropriate. Many people were also saying that they were using the children as a buffer so they wouldn't get booed or receive bad treatment from the audience since there are still a large number of people who still haven't forgiven them after the issuance of the apology. But to be honest, most of negative backlash and criticism stems from people still believing in the allegations of bullying and not forgiving them. A lot of people felt negatively about their apology being issued right before they announced their comeback so their sincerity has been questioned even before this announcement which is another contributant to some people's feelings towards this situation. In my opinion, everyone needs to just move forward. For those who don't support T-ara and don't forgive them, they need to focus their time and energy on things they do like and for those who support T-ara, they should be able to enjoy their comeback without the drama that arises with every move they make.

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

Whoa??Wait,what??
So a bunch of kids dancing to T-ara's latest song called Sexy Love?Is this really appropriate to begin with?Ugh,it is such a disgust knowing that KKS is such a pedo!Seriously,when I was at their age,I don't even know what sexy is...7 members is already enough and now they gonna add 7 more members which obviously some members' scene time will be reduce (we all know who) for the cameramen to focus on the kids too.I want to see T-ara,not a 7-9 years old kids dancing happily without knowing the meaning of the song.Sigh....
Anyway,I'm looking forward for their comeback.It's just in a couple of days.It's been a while since we last saw them on stages together.I miss them terribly.
If memory serves right,they will start promoting this song starting from 6th September on M! Countdown,followed by Music Core the next day and lastly Music Inkigayo on the 9th.Oh I bet thousands of QUEEN'S who missed them will flood the YouTube site to watch their performances.Haha,me too!The "up and down" move and the "mirror" dances were great although some says that it's not Areum's voice but Hwayoung's.They added 10 layers of auto-tuned to make it sounds like hers since there's no time to record back the song but of course,we'll never know the truth.
Aah,I can't wait to see them doing robot dance!I hope they'll release a dance practice video too.It'll awesome.

Hmmm interesting. I don't really like the thought of watching little kids dance while hearing the word "sexy."
OMG I JUST GOT AN IDEA
Maybe Dani can join "Little T-ara"!!!!!!!!!
i'M A GENIUS
Don't hate me

In my opinion it's a good idea...
I was so worried because of their performance & that they have to face haters but now that there will be kids that perform with them I think haters wont do anything to them in their live performance because of kids!
I hope so....
T-ARA FIGHTING...

.______. ok CCM whenever I think I've seen it all you prove me wrong and come with unexpected things. I don't know what to say about this

If we go by T-ara's tradition short hair means she will get a push in popularity (remember Eunjeung & Hwayoung before their signature short hair?).. I hope I'm right cause she really-really deserves it..

If the rotating leadership system is still in effect, isn't it Qri's turn to be the next leader?
Its about time for her to step up.. Although for me Soyeon is a perfect leader for T-ara, I am really looking forward to Qri's "Shiny-Shiny" era of leadership..
All hail Her Royal Bling-Blingness Queen Qri!

CCM just officially comfirm it just now on Twitter....
T-ara will comeback at Music bank on 7 September.....

We should look on the bright side; it wouldn't go over well with the public if the clip was released with Jiyeon and Eunjung recording happily and joking around. At least this way, there won't be even more backlash - and when they are aired, they can repair their images first by clarifying on the issue.
...optimism I almost want to puke from the rainbows.

I don't know this woman personally, but i've grown to love her through all her works as a performer and an actress. All this bad news within the past month has really taken a toll. This is really the first time that my heart actually aches for celebrities going through hardships. I know Eunjung will stay strong, with her family by her side because just like all of us, she is human and needs all the love and support she can get in order to get back on her feet.

ENOUGH WITH KEEP SILENT!
I have enough! Korean netizens and medias seem to forget the most important thing in the spreading of Hallyu Wave, INTERNATIONAL FANS! They ignore our opinions and they don’t even care about our feeling right now.
If netizens, broadcasting companies, drama production companies and medias play a ‘dirty games’ to destroy t-ara when there is no solid proof in this bullying controversy so as fans, we need to step up and also play a ‘dirty games’ against them!
We don’t want Eunjung to return to the drama that kicked her like a pair of old shoes after only using her to promote the drama but we demand an apologies from SBS and the drama production team to Eunjung!
Since we can’t give any effect to the drama rating when it aired in Korea, SBS and other broadscasting companies need to know that we, international fans will boycott the drama so no need for them to sell the copyright of the drama to our countries broadcasting company/tv station because we will never watch the drama!
The advertiser companies also can sell their product as much as they can to Korean but they can just forget about targeting a international fans to buy their products! Tony Moly??? What’s the xxxx is that? I only know the brand after t-ara become their model and now they act like they are the famous cosmetic brand in the world. I will never buy that shitty products!
Please post a comment that demand an apology from SBS and the drama production team to Eunjung!

K-netizens and K-Media really need to know, they are not only killing T-ara girls right now but they also slowly put the end to Hallyu Wave! We, International fans just sick with all the xxxx created by netizens and spread by K-media…
Only this time, I ask you to reblog my post and please be more active to post the comment on the wall/board to show your support for Eunjung.

Hummm, I was suspicioius about something with 5 fingers and at the moment they say Eunjung will start to film on the 22 i tought it was fine and the danger had finished, but i was mistaken, it wasn´t finished.
the last video of 5 fingers days before tha airing of the 1 episode, didn´t show Eunjung, in that moment i thought that would only means Eunjung will be kicked out of the drama, but they said it was just because of "schedules" problems( knowing T-ara cancelled everything), even like that i dind´t believe them but accept it and wait for the filming to start.
when Eunjung said at the press conference she hadn´t start her filming I panicked, i thought that they were doubting on her to be in the drama, but just the confirmation of the day she will be on screen 5 of september was said.
BUT NOW, after all this, is OBVIUOS what SBS was doing, they were delaying every Eunjung filming, photoshoot, shcedule of 5 fingers just waiting for another actress to say yes, because if their xxxxing plan didn´t work Eunjung will be there and no one will think they were about to kick her out and people would think SBS were brave to keep going with Eunjung in the drama. THEN IN THE 2 SCENARIOS SBS WINS.
and as the confirmation of the other actress was yesterday "if Eunjung was leaving" THEN they rushed to say there were spondors problems and they took the decition yesterday, but for me that decition was taken from several days before and Eunjung was only their plan B.
I really wish the worst to this drama, I´m sorry for the cast, because i love them most of all Chae Si Ra, an JI hoo but, SBS don´t deserve to succeed.

i really mad right now....my heart just want to explode...hope will receive good news
btw don't forget to vote okay...i think we deserve to get no.1 because what we've been through right now,our heart so hurt,my friend
bashing t-ara in front of me...but i still strong with t-ara like you guys..
