[sPAZZ] T-ARA expressed their thankfulness to each other for the 4 years





The 6-members girl group T-ARA expressed their thankfulness to each other for the 4 years of twists and turns they spent together.

On the 21st, the girls met with reporters at a cafe in Gangnam, Seoul. “You’ve went through lots of member changes, but just as much, you have to thank and cherish the members that you are currently with. If you’re to thank each other by passing turns?” Receiving the question, the girls smiled shyly.

"That’s really embarrassing", the members who shivered at first quickly pulled themselves together to start answering seriously.



Qri to Soyeon:





"I’m always very thankful to my dongsaengs. In a case like Soyeon’s, It feels like chingus because of the one-year age gap between us. Although Soyeon looks strong from the outside, she has many tender sides as well. She’s someone I’d share my troubles and hearty talks with. She feels a lot like a real sister. I’m always thankful. She’s a dongsaeng that helps me where I lack at a lot."





Soyeon to Boram:



"Aigoo our Boram unnie~. Unnie is roomates with me, though. There’s a lot that I’m thankful for. It looks as if (she’s) passive and (we) take care of her, but that’s not it. Boram unnie is a mentor. As an unnie, she’d say all that she has to say to (me as a) dongsaeng and even words of advice. She’s an unnie who makes me realize things I couldn’t feel before. In fact, I love them all equally to not hurt anyone. I’m really confident of our teamwork. (They’re/She’s) more than family. Because we share everything."





Boram to Jiyeon:



"Although I’m the very old unnie and Jiyeon is the magnae, She’s really good at everything without any exception. I have so many to learn as an unnie. She’s a dongsaeng I look up to and has lots to learn from as an entertainer. She also gives me lots of strength. She’s a reliable magnae. What I liked being in T-ara, is that since there’s no gaps among the members, it’s a family-like atmosphere. Although we have an age gap, it’s a sister-like relationship. I really like that. Also, because such a dongsaeng is Jiyeon, I like it even more.





Jiyeon to Eunjung:



"I really have a lot to thank Eunjung unnie for that I’m tearing up. Eunjung Unnie is like a mother.T-ara’s mother. When we go overseas unnie and I would share a room together but she’d be the one to take care of everything, from one to ten. Really, just like the things a mother would do for her child, concern, everything. She’d do the cleaning all by herself. I’m thankful for all the little things one by one. I’m just thankful for everything. For the rest, I’ll tell her on kakaotalk."





Eunjung to Hyomin:



"Hyomin is the friend I spent the longest time with training in our company. We met each other when Hyomin was 19 and I was 20 years old. Spending a lot of time together as trainees and growing together, we know each other’s strengths and weaknesses very well. In the future, I think we’ll still stay with each other even as halmeonies and ahjummas. Since both of us are ‘an only child’, even our parents are all close with each other. She’s my dongsaeng but sometimes she can also be reliable like a chingu and like an unnie. I am indecisive but hyomin guides with a driving force. She’s a friend I need inside and outside of T-ara. Even without T-ara, She’s a good person and a definitely needed friend.”





Hyomin to Qri:



"Qri unnie is my roomate when we go overseas. From my first impression, she’s the unnie who was the hardest to approach. I think she’s very unique and different from me. Even our thoughts. She was an unnie who felt distant, but turned out to be an opposite girl with twist. Very different from my first impression. She usually sounds arrogant and prim when talking so there were times when I wanted to say “I’m not even a man but why does she keep talking like that?”; However, she’s so thoughtful and mature. How she saves her money is a thing I should obviously learn from her. I like the way she’s frugal and doesn’t waste money. In the future, I hope unnie would grab the chance to show her charms often during our activities as T-ara. She’s a reliable leader and a very nice unnie.”

[13.10.23] T-ara to recreate Sand Pebbles' song "What Do I Do" for December comeback


Retro queens T-ara will return!

T-ara will do their reinterpretation of Sand Pebbles song "What Do I Do" that first became popular through college music festivals in 1977.

T-ara will sample Sand Pebbles song "What Do I Do" to recreate and update it with composer Shinsadong Tiger for a brand new 2013 version. The arrangement will be trendy for young adults but will also bring back memories for the older population. It will be a pop dance song with a traditional melody.

T-ara created a retro craze with "Roly-Poly" and want to recreate that craze again in 2013 with "What Do I Do". They want to be able to bring back happy memories of the past once again.

T-ara's jacket image for "2013 What Do I Do" was released today and it features a cassette tape.

T-ara will release "What Do I Do" on December 2nd.

That was a bad joke that shouldn't have been entertained, if you ask me, knowing full well the civil war is still going on. And I really don't see the point in quoting, or even viewing this from a dead and failed Chaos Traitor Marine, at the end of the 3rd Aurelian Crusade, which doesn't even metaphorically describe correctly about Core Contents Media's and T-ara's current circumstances. Chaos in general glorifies and embraces failure. No point in being in their side. T-ara are nonetheless employees of Core Contents Media, so even mentioning Core Contents Media as a whole, that includes T-ara and their labelmates too in that regard.
Granted that there's a degree of worry about relationships going public, but not all public relationships are bad. Just look at how many couples there are in public already. It's really up to the couple to make it work, even during their married years, even with children. What happened with Hara was her decision. It had nothing to do with the public. That was just her personal life, as it is with Soyeon. We all hope they last a life time, nothing wrong with that.
As for the future, there's always chances of success and failures in life. All we can do is hope and do the best we can to succeed and endure onward.

To all T-ara fans in the Philippines:

Hello everyone! Since it will be the 4th anniversay of T-ara on July 28, 2013, we, the staff, have thought of a simple project.

[13.05.21] Jeon Youngrok and his daughters, T-ara's Boram and D-Unit Wooram to star in refreshment CF together


For the first time, singer Jeon Youngrok and his two daughters, T-ara's Boram and D-UNIT's Wooram will star in a CF together.

Recently, Jeon Yeongrok and Boram and Wooram shot a CF together for a drink product. The filming set was harmonious and warm as the family shot together.

Jeon Youngrok debuted in 1871, and for the first time since his debut, he'll star in a CF together with his daughters. Him and his daughters were focused but had fun on set. Jeon Yeongrok and his daughters sang for the CF; a sweet song with a gentle and harmonious melody and message.

A CF staff member said, "Having a family of singers, including singers from years ago and some that are promoting currently in groups represents our company well. We want to appeal to the unity of old and new generations."

Jeon Youngrok said, "I don't know if an opportunity like this will come again in my life, so I'm really happy for now." Wooram said, "I'm really thankful for just debuting as an entertainer, yet having this opportunity that I may not get again in my life."

[13.05.20] T-ara N4 announces plans to enter the US market


On the afternoon of May 20th, T-ara N4 held a press conference about its plans to enter the US market at Seoul Imperial Palace Hotel. Members Eunjung, Hyomin, Jiyeon and Areum attended the press conference and expressed their aspirations for their future in the US.
On the afternoon of May 20th, T-ara N4 held a press conference about its plans to enter the US market at Seoul Imperial Palace Hotel. Members Eunjung, Hyomin, Jiyeon and Areum attended the press conference and expressed their aspirations for their future in the US.
On May 12th, on invitation from well-known American artist Chris Brown, T-ara N4 traveled to the US for 5 days 4 nights. Member Eunjung expressed, "Although we received an invitation from Chris Brown, we still wondered whether we would really meet him. We were very excited. He was very welcoming and treated us well, we are thankful for that. We also discussed music and production plans. There were many good things that we had never even imagined before."
Eunjung added that the following day, T-ara N4 received any invitation from Youtube channel network company “Freestyle,” and the members visited the company about the possibility of a T-ara Channel. Footwear brand “Vlado”, famous among hiphop dancers, also extended an invitation to T-ara N4. “More fans that we had expected came and so we held a fansign for a few hours. Vlado also proposed to make custom shoes with the T-ara N4 logo. Singer Ray J spoke about us on twitter and so we had the chance to meet and discuss music with famous producer team "1500 or Nothin."
The members said "We had a successful meeting through a good opportunity and was able to discuss our plans to enter the US market. After meeting with Chris Brown, we also met with a lot of good opportunities. We are very lucky. We feel a lot of pressure on our shoulders and will work even harder in the future. About our trip to the US, the other members asked us when we will return to Korea and said we still haven't watched Iron Man 3 together."
Hyomin revealed that a remake of "Jeonwon Diary" will be released in 5 versions and the rap parts currently done by SPEED’s Taewoon will be done by Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, T-Pain, Ray J and Chris Brown. The song is scheduled to be released in June in the US and also worldwide at the same. Eunjung added, "We will sing our parts in Korean, and the rap parts by the other artists will be in English."
Jiyeon also revealed, "We will be leaving for the US on the 25th to perform the opening stage for Chris Brown's solo concert in Las Vegas. We are very nervous but we want to show our good side in our first performance in the US."
Areum added that they are planning to attend the BET Awards with Chris Brown on June 30th. "Although it still feels surreal, we are very happy."
Asked about the backstory to the meeting with Chris Brown, Eunjung said, “There really is no special backstory. T-ara trainee Dani attended Chris Brown's concert, and told him about T-ara and “Jeonwon Diary.” After watching our MV, Chris Brown really liked the song and asked whether he can see us directly. We suddenly went to the US in the midst of our promotions.”
Hyomin, “Many parts actually happened spontaneously. We visitied Chris Brown’s MV set, and we suddenly received an invitation to cameo in his MV. But because our hair and makeup etc had not been prepared, we regretfully couldn’t appear in his MV. Just like this, many things actually happened without plan, and we are also looking forward to see what will happen when we visit Las Vegas this time.”
Eunjung: "Before our debut, we felt that we would already be lucky if we could gain popularity domestically." "Because of the popularity of K-pop, we naturally started our Japan activities like other K-Pop singers. Our US activities also happened like this and started really suddenly. From now on, we will prepare accordingly regarding music and language.”
The Director of CCM's overseas marketing team Lee Jintaek revealed that T-ara N4 has signed a contract with Empire Records (a subsidiary of Universal Recrods) for the re-release of “Jeonwon Diary”.
He said of the good results from T-ara N4's US trip, "T-ara N4 received a lot of attention and love in the US. In particular, they met with Chris Brown and many other producers and received good appraisals from them."
The reporters asked whether this focus on the overseas activities was to avoid the negative response from the public after the Hwayoung controversy last year. About this, Eunjung said "We felt that an opportunity like this is rar, other than our sudden plans to go to the US, our other schedules will still proceed according to plan. Other than T-ara N4, the rest of the members will also be continuing their Japan sub-unit activities. They will be filming for their MV next week in Japan."
Eunjung added that, "We think that what we will demonstrate and show to everyone in the future is the most important. Whether on stage or somewhere else, we will demonstrate our genuine, honest, prudent and good appearance, so please anticipate our future activities and give us a lot of support. K-pop has received a lot of attention, not only from the US but also from other countries, so we feel a sense of responsibility to work hard and carefully in the future.”

[12.12.05] T-ara reveal their ideal type of mother and which member's child they'd want to be



I think from amongst the questions asked from the Roly Poly Interview, one question stood out. "If you were born again, whose child would you want to be from amongst the members." Before that, lets ask if you want to become mothers and if so, what is your ideal mother type?
Jiyeon: Like my mother. I want to be a wise parent.
Qri: I also want to be like my mother. Doing everything, even that which is invisible. Because I don't want to spoil my kids, I dont mind being strict.
Soyeon: I want to be the opposite of my mother. My mother exhausted me in work. She didn't think of me, but her "career of work". She made me do all the housework and raised me by exhausting me. I do want to be a hard working mom, but unlike my mom. Because I want to be a mom who makes her child grow strong.
Boram: I speak as someone who has a sense of friendsihp to my mom. If I give birth to a child, I want to be a mother who is like a friend to it.
Areum: I want to be a mother who is called upon like a friend.
Hyomin: I want to go shopping together, a mom who is a friend. Like a fashionable sistar. Even friends of my child will say "Hyomin okasan [mother] is so young", "you're beautiful!" (laughs)
Eunjung: Me...um, I haven't thought about it.
- Never have imagined it?
Eunjung: Yes. People who are loved. I think I want to give love to other people. I want to be a mother who gives a lot of love.
- Now a question from the readers; if you were born again, whose baby would you want to be. Well everyone?
Jiyeon: For me, Areum. Because I want her white complexion.
Areum: For me, Jiyeon. I'm envious of her small face and pretty skin.
Hyomin: For me Jiyeon. After all she has a cool personality and if someone bad shows up, she'll be his angry opponent.
Eunjung: For me it's Soyeon. She would make me eat my breakfast properly. Since she is strong, she would properly protect her child.
Boram: I also go for Soyeon.
Soyeon: Really? (laughs)
Boram: Because you're polite, that's why you will properly raise a child.
Soyeon: For me Eunjung. She acts like a mother in the group, I think she is the ideal person, and she is very homely.
Hyomin: Ah~ Skilled at cleaning? Maybe Qri is her own ideal type? (laughs)
Everyone: Ah~
- Does Qri think the same as the other members? (laughs)
Qri: Yep, myself. (smile)
Everyone: Hahaha!
Jiyeon: Qri would raise a strong child. She can do anything if she puts the effort. She would raise it to have an independant spirit. Though I wouldn't want her as a mom. (smile)
Everyone: We know!
- She would be strict, that's why. (smile)
Soyeon: Who would be my mom? Boram would be bad. (laughs)
Everyone: Hahaha!
Boram: Why?!
Soyeon: I'm worried about Boram changing diapers. She would feed me a lot of food, then I would become fat.
Everyone: Hahaha!
Soyeon: After that, because she is a bit childish, the daughter will have to look after the problems of her mother, but you can buy me a lot of goods and cosmetics.
Boram: Mou~ I want to get married someday. If you say that, it's not going to happen!
Everyone: Hahaha!

[12.10.08] Director Cha Euntaek talks about T-ara & Eunjung in an interview with News 2 Day






"The T-ara incident made me detest even more the way Korean society does not tell right from wrong"
Reporter: Recently, you've supported Eunjung through twitter and this became a hot topic. You didn't expect that right? What are your thoughts about the T-ara incident?
In response to the question that the reporter asked mindfully, Director Cha Euntaek surprisingly gave a calm and sharp response. Because of his message of support to Eunjung, Director Cha was also criticised by some netizens. Director Cha was the director for T-ara's MV's like Lovey Dovey, and so have known Eunjung for a long time. He understands Eunjung more than anybody else and truly feels sad and worried about Eunjung.
"Although my message wasn't left simply without thought nor was it left simply just to cheer her on, it still represented my worry and care for her. When she knew that she was casted for "Five Fingers", you wouldn't know how happy she was and how hard she worked in preparation. If I was a member of T-ara, I might have hidden away somewhere because of the pain. T-ara being ostracised by the public, this has made me really detest Korean society. I really detest those who, after someone's mistake, add insult to injury without first determining right from wrong. To be honest, I thought "Should I gamble my career in the entertainment industry and just say it all [and argue]? Just say it all on twitter?" I was really angry at the time."
"I've watched them grow since the T-ara members were still trainees. They are kids who have worked hard to become singers, and I was really hurt to see them criticised like that. Eunjung's message on twitter was actually really simple and pure. They cannot go out and play like other teenagers, but have to practise with all their might, running around to complete their activities. They cannot live like other kids of the same age, but are constrained by their work. They are kids who are more simple and pure than others of their age."
"At the time, I was really very upset. To see how the public, without understanding the circumstances, became so sure that there must have been bullying between them. I don't understand, there have been incidents in the past that were much worse, idols who have done illegal things, but why only treat T-ara with such harshness?"
About how his message of support for Eunjung caused a stir amongst netizens, Director Cha said: "Although we should criticise acts that are wrong, but to see people carelessly criticise and condemn acts that are right simply because of their own subjectivity and bias, I really could not carrying on living pretending that I did not see this in our society."
"Eunjung ah, you have to live with strength"
"I always talk with Eunjung, and she told me 'Because of Director-nim, I've gained a lot of strength." She cannot clarify everything that has happened, simply for the reason that they are all very close. In reality, their relationship is not what outsiders have portrayed it to be like, and they do not want each other to be criticised or blamed because of themselves. Because of this incident, they really cried a lot. I really can't bear to see them cry like that. I tried to find ways to comfort them, but I couldn't come up with any good ways but to say to them to live with strength. After Eunjung was forced out of "Five Fingers" I had once worried that she would do something stupid."
