[12.08.30] T-ara to comeback with 7th mini-album "MIRAGE" on September 3rd





Girl group T-ara will release their seventh mini album "MIRAGE" on September 3rd.
Their agency Core Contents Media said today, "T-ara's new title song was composed by Shinsadong Tiger and written by Choi Kyusung who are the same people who made T-ara's 'Bo Peep Bo Peep' and 'Roly-Poly'."
T-ara originally announced they would release a new song in mid-August but it was delayed three weeks.
Core Contents Media said, “We decided to comeback now because we couldn't stand postponing it any longer due to the controversy which happened that had no perpetrator and no victim but only misunderstandings upon misunderstandings.”
On the 28th and 29th, tweets were sent from T-ara and Hwayoung and caused a crazy bullying controversy that confused the public and fans. They have since apologized and wish that fans can continue to support them in the future.
Their agency said, "T-ara has been silent for one month since the misunderstanding between the members happened and have reflected on their actions that lead to the controversy they created. They want to express their sincerest apologies."



They continued by saying, "It was a misunderstanding between Hwayoung and the other members, and they have reconciled and apologized to each other."
T-ara will be busying beginning on September 15th until November with overseas concert schedules in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan.
Core Contents Media said, "The misunderstanding and conflict that happened in front of so many people, T-ara bow their heads and are incredibly sorry and said they'll work hard to avoid and better deal with these issues."

[12.08.30] T-ara's agency, "T-ara's comeback.. no schedules finalized"





T-ara has raised attention when it was revealed through music industry insiders that they'll be coming back in the first week of September. Core Contents Media hadn't announce their comeback, but they have explained what's going on now.
Core Contents Media said, "Things mentioned in the media about T-ara's promotion activities being suspended are not true. Therefore, an announcement of a comeback was going to be revealed when schedules are finalized. In addition, T-ara will have overseas schedules in Malaysia and Hong Kong that were finalized before. Because of the issues of bullying within the group arose, all schedules were at a stand-still but will return eventually."
On July 20th after completing a concert in Budokan, Japan, issues arose around Hwayoung being ostracized from the group. It was revealed Hwayoung's contract was terminated and that a new member, Areum, would be taking over her position and promoting as seven for the time being.
In addition, another member Dani was announced to join in December, but because of the issue it was rumored to join earlier. Core Contents Media said, "What's decided and when Dani is added will be announced in advance."
T-ara held a comeback in July with "Day by Day" and said they would comeback twice more in the second half of the year. In mid-August they planned for a Shinsadong Tiger dance song called "Sexy Love" to be released but it was postponed. After they release "Sexy Love", they plan to greet the fans and public and promote vigorously until the end of the year.

okay, part of me say, it is bad for T-ara to push their come back as of now, but part of me tells that,
if they don't, what will happen? They don't need to look like they are hiding because of this false controversy... and keeping silent for such a long time will do nothing good...
So... hmm, i go with "push through the come back with head held high and show a great smile and show how strong you are my girls and give them a blasting hot performance once again!"
and in case some will bring eggs with them, better be prepared with hot water to boil them and a bread in addition and offer it back to them lol XD

I love this drama and soyeon,
This is the first time
I've ever felt this way.

Why am I teary eyed just by reading this article? Very very wise words indeed coming from someone who has been in the entertainment industry for years. This actress should be applauded too for daring to speak out in the midst of this issue.
Soyeon is very very lucky to have been surrounded by good people in her drama.

This women is b*tchy in the drama but hell I love her for supporting Soyeon outside camera... ^^ That's a sunbae to hoobae Soyeon.. WHy cant the PD think the same?

“It is not an issue that can be solved by leaving the drama."
"If she ignores the situation and chooses to leave the drama unconditionally, then the viewers’ wounds might feel more comfortable, but the heart will not be cured."
---> Round of applause, standing ovation. I agree. Face palm to all those who cut T-ara in their shows especially Five Fingers and WGM. I have been hoping that continuing with their dramas and other TV appearances (and ignoring the public's rage) would actually make T-ara grow on them despite the controversy. That way, the viewers would have no choice but to see their faces anyway and then eventually get comfortable with them because that's what's available on TV, and then they would eventually see that T-ara doesn't deserve those hate because they seem nice pretty and kind plus they act well. So it should have been, "I'm PD of this drama if you don't want to watch then don't. I'm sure there are people who will watch anyway. Your rage won't control me."
Instead, the public's rage controlled them. Cowards. Tsk tsk. Cutting them off like that would just affirm the public's clouded mind and so unclouded minds would think, "ah so even the PD agrees and cuts them off so I guess the rumor is true" or people would say "oh so it's a bigger issue than I thought." So instead of clearing it up by removing them, their removal just made it messier. Probably the drama would be off the hook, but to the expense of the actress. Then the actress would have nowhere to go to because you abandoned her when you were her supposed to be her source of strength. And then the actress would not appear anymore and would just be nothing but a smeared name and a bunch of photos, hated and bashed through media and internet, no chance to regain respect because you took that chance away.
"Even if the surrounding circumstances are loud and noisy, isn’t it a good thing that the actors’ acting and the production team’s hardwork together receive praise for the drama?”
---> I totally agree. The Five Fingers production team failed to trust their material and actors. If they only thought "ah we have an amazing cast, plot and script, no controversy would stop us from doing this, we can receive praise if we work hard enough" things would have been better and Eunjung could probably gain respect again through the drama. Instead, they didn't want anything to do with the mess, just got coward and selfish, cut the rope that Eunjung tries hard to hang into.
----------
Looks like Soyeon is so fortunate to be treated well by people from Haeundae Lovers. I guess it also helps that Davichi's Kang Min Kyung, another artist from CCM, is there as well... and hmm even Nam Gyu Ri who was formerly from CCM (could she give tips on how to break away from CCM successfully? LOL).
----------
I am so glad that some people from the industry are speaking up and defending T-ara.
Applause for Kim Hye Eun.
Haeundae Lovers FTW!
T-ara Fighting!

Omg I actually cried after reading this letter. Just a moment ago I was thinking, what if time travel is invented today, maybe I"ll wish youngie is not injured before their concert...and then suddenly this came up, I"m really so touched...despite them having a hard time, they are still thinking how hard it is for hwoyoung, for us fans and even to those who turned their back to them... For real, this is wow, I'm just expecting them to speak up in front of camera to clear this up, but a written apology, is daebak... I can feel how much they wanted it to end, this misunderstandind... I love you t-ara fighting!

T-ara release handwritten announcement of apology





"We write this letter after much deliberation.The past month has felt longer than the time it took us to debut and the time we've promoted under all of your love.First, we would like to honestly apologize for making so many concerned.We admit that we were immature in not being able to resolve our differences in opinions within the group and letting it out publicly, and we are all reflecting on it together.We deeply apologize for acting without thought.If we had understood each other, shared, and acted more maturely, none of this would have happened..We think that thought every day in misery.Looking back, we've always overcome any hardships together while chasing the same dream, and it breaks our heart to think that all of those good memories are being seen in a bad light.We also think that Hwayoung must have gone through a hard time for being misunderstood as being ostracized.We were all surprised at a result none of us thought or wanted and feel upset that we can no longer be together again.We hope that Hwayoung no longer has to face any pain again.We apologize to everyone for concerning everyone with this issue and disappointing those that loved our music.This hardship was an opportunity of learning for us.We are supposed to be the strength of many, and have now learned how much responsibility we have on our shoulders, as well as how responsibly we must act.To our parents, who live for us, and our fans, who will remain by us until the end to love our music...And to everyone we disappointed, we want to work hard so that our apology will be accepted.We are genuinely sorry. We ask that you also give your everlasting support and love to Hwayoung, who must have had a harder time than us.We will always support Hwayoung no matter what.From all of T-ara.

Actress Kim Hye Eun "Soyeon staying on Haeundae Lovers, please applaud!"





“It is not an issue that can be solved by leaving the drama. Ostracizing/bullying is clearly a serious societal problem, but where there is debate but no confirmed facts or truth, to unconditionally accuse and criticize young adults is not right. To push the young into a difficult situation because of the existence of a debate, is this something that adults should do?”
Actress Kim Hye Eun, who also appears in Haeundae Lovers with Soyeon, candidly expressed her thoughts about the T-ara issue. On the 28th with an interview with Daily Economy Star Today, Kim Hye Eun said “There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the drama, including Soyeon’s appearance on the drama and the Busan dialect, but on set, the atmosphere is still happy and enjoyable.” “It is true that there are many unfavorable aspects, but they have to be solved wisely one by one.”
Kim Hye Eun said that day: “To already have promised to appear in the drama, and to have already participated in over 5 filmings, behaviour like ‘Because of your response, I will cut you out’ is wrong.” “In the T-ara incident, most importantly, it is the adults who have made the bigger errors. I want to applaud the decision of the production team to continue working together under circumstances of debate in order to not disappoint the hardworking actors.”
She continued: “Partial conversations over twitter or SMS between young adults cannot be used to make judgments on everything.” “One cannot say who was at fault, but to avoid similar situations and to prevent kids from getting hurt, care and wise judgments are needed from adults. In particular, if the agency can take some action on behalf of the children, that would be great. Very anxious”
At the same time, she expressed: “No matter what the problem is, to just solve the superficial issue is not the way to resolve the problem.” She added, “Right now, Soyeon, as the object of anger, is in a dilemma. If she ignores the situation and chooses to leave the drama unconditionally, then the viewers’ wounds might feel more comfortable, but the heart will not be cured. Even if the surrounding circumstances are loud and noisy, isn’t it a good thing that the actors’ acting and the production team’s hardwork together receive praise for the drama?”
On the other hand, Kim Hye Eun’s charismatic acting as the wife of President Yang in Haeundae Lover has received praise.

@RHY422 Seeing articles regarding Eunjung-unni being taken out of her drama makes my heart uneasy. Although there were some confrontations in the past while I was promoting as a T-ara member, with all of this happening, my heart is in pain. And I feel bad for the amount of hurt all of this may have caused. However, when we lived together there were also very happy times; let bygones be bygones and let's strive to put smiles on our faces once again. Everyone has showed so much love to T-ara [before], so because of this accident and for causing a lot of distress and worry to everyone, I apologize.

if that "determination" word is the start of this false controversy, then that "determination" will be the key for them to successfully stand up again
so continue to fight T-ara!!! ♥

[12.08.27] Quick News - Jiyeon and Eunjung's mum veave messages for fans



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wk9gru2Chc&feature=g-all-u



Translation by s-park:



Greetings everyone, I am the mother of Eunjung



I am really grateful and thankful to you for coming a long way just to give your support.



They (T-ara I suppose) will resume their activities in August,



Hyomin, Soyeon and Eunjung are filming recently, please show them your guidance



I love you guys, thanks



NOTE : I think this was before Eunjung left 5F, and because things were uncertain at that time that might explain why her mum said T-ara was coming back in August when it seems to be unlikely now.

[12.08.24] Haeundae Lover's writer, "T-ara's situation, regretful towards their agency"





Haeundae Lovers's Writer opened up about Haeundae Lover's Soyeon on the morning of the 24th, expressing her thoughts about the T-ara situation:
She said, "speaking about Soyeon is a very sensitive matter" "I've not seen Soyeon before. It seems like it was T-ara's agency which allowed things to become like this"
She continued, "The company should, in line with what the public and citizens want, give an explanation about the issue" "Eunjung left her drama recently, and the requests for the other members to leave are also continuing endlesslessly, it is like they are digging their own graves. I feel very regretful about their company"
About the requests for Soyeon to leave Haeundae Lovers, "Soyeon is not a main character but a supporting character" "Filming already began before the T-ara issue, if she were to leave, we would have to re-film which is not easy" "Soyeon began filming before the T-ara issue" "At that time we did not expect there to be such a conflict"
"The Tablo incident also happened before, and I felt very saddened about it" "Same about Soyeon. Even after the debate, there is no way to accurately know the reasons, we can't just let her leave the drama. I thought the agency would come up with sensible measures, but to let the incident grow large like this, it is not possible to not have any thoughts of complaints."
"Disregarding the truth or falsity of the T-ara debate, I hope that they can take this opportunity and become even more united. Personally, I also have worries as to whether T-ara will disband because of this" "When I do sports, I also gain energy from listening to T-ara's songs"
She cautiously said, "Soyeon was in a traffic accident not long ago, and I know there appeared rumours claiming that the accident was fake, the situation is really serious" "For me, I want to protect those who appear in my work, the cast and crew who have worked hard"

wait, i think it doesn't made sense, i mean, i'm not familiar to that "MBC strike" issue and it was decided or planned that they should leave the show because of this? But there will be another "We got marry" after them? well, whatever, for me it is okay...
I'm more in favor of EunYeon than WooJung, wahaha XD
