I had the feeling before I saw the subtitles, like the "why you hating" being sung in a sort of whisper/subliminal manner, or the over-the-top manner in the drama mv.
Let's say it was intentional, whether you like the sub-unit, song, mv, or not, I'd still think T-ara/N4 should be given the credits of doing something like this. Ant to think , they were supposed to try and win back some people on their side with this promotion!
It's predictable how detractors (i.e. haters, critics) will say (or already saying) about N4/Jeon Won Diary, but despite that, let us not tire in supporting T-ara, in whatever incarnation they appear in. But just like JWD, let's not go on the defensive. Relax and just have fun!
Party people!!!

Hmm, the unnies will focus more on solo activities? A reversal of the previous trend (of EunJiMin having more individual activities). Let's see how things work out.
The change is nice to allow the unnies more exposure (it's been awhile since either Boram or Qri had any such endevours, and we know Soyeon's first venture was cut short). Assuming it's actual projects and not sidelined.
Keep an open mind and see.

Cool. Though this technically makes it their 'first' Japanese album (as Jewelry Box is more of an EP, with a lot of remakes).
The approach is something I didn't expect. Thought it would be nice to do different versions of a song (TTL or Cry Cry) but with different sub groups singing for each version. But the idea is good - introduce sub groups as well as showcase individual skills. But it poses a risk too, as song selection is critical (match with whatever the singer can do). In any event, let's hope they would be successful -- go out and support the girls.
PS: though from what it appears this will be mighty expensive. Better scrimp and save...

Well, that's pretty good, considered what just happened a few months (and that the girls are still receiving backlash from that time). Let's hope (and pray) 2013 will be a brand new start for T-ara!

Nice. but there should not be a number. Girls don't age, they just grow in beauty!!!

This ain't funny anymore. How unprofessional. More embarrassment for the k-entertainment. And those sponsors as well, just rotten.
Where is the justice here?
Apologies to all who read this post, if its quite vindictive: boycott the show, boycott the sponsors' products.

Negative comments, yeah. This just shows how unreasonable 'netizens' are. Move on! All of the girls released statements giving rest to the whole bullying/diva issues. Regardless of the girls actual feelings in the matter, it is irrelevant now. Its like a court case where the primary parties settled, but onlookers wanted to proceed, in short what is the point?
The continued 'attacks' has proven that it is not the ostracizing per se (now it looks like it was flimsy excuse by those who instigated and fanned the issue disproportionately). They (whoever they are) simply wanted to bring down T-ara. It's just pathetic.
As to the implications of having children perform on stage, frankly I had similar thoughts. But one question runs through my mind: "Is it worth for T-ara to 'use' children?" From a moral/professional/business standpoint, NO. It'll erode their image and it won't be something they could recover from than some random (and false) accusation.
To all Queen's and T-ara sympathizers: keep those haters/negative comments away from your minds. They are just trying to destroy T-ara - they didn't succeed back during the height of the controversies, they won't succeed now. The best way to plunge "critics" into the pit of irrelevancy is to forget them -- just think of this way: it is the last howls of a dying beast.
As for T-ara, I'm looking forward to their "debut" (comeback), not 'simply' because of seeing Sexy Love and robot dance live, but see firsthand how the girls has overcome this hurdle.
T-ara fighting!

At this rate, goodbye to K-entertainment (music, shows, live performances).
If they can be so callous as to one of their own, why would everyone else support their industry?

So does this mean Hwayoung's coming back? (no, I'm just thinking out loud). Let's not cross the bridge before we ge there. But it's good to hear something like this from her. Maybe it'll be sign for reconciliation (or at least a happy resolution).
Pretty much good timing, helps pave the way for a more happy reception for T-ARA's comeback? Who knows, that thinking out loud may even come true.
'Second chances are hard to come by. If it does, we should not let it be for naught.'
T-ara fighting! Hwayoung fighting!
