Uncle fan

She is so cute in this little video. These look great. Thanks for posting them.

Okay I know I'm not the only one that saw Jiyeon's perfect belly button! This show is yet another appearance because of her solo that is showing her growing and developing as a public figure. Her personality is winning people over and that is such a wonderful thing. She is so much fun to watch. I'm excited to see it keep going!!

She has grown up and matured so much. I feel like a proud parent watching her speak with the audience at the end. I think she really did achieve her goal of showing a new side of herself different from what we see in T-ara. And I think she did it in good taste and avoided the easy path of just trying to look like a nymphomaniac as so many others do all too often. Well done Jiyeon!

Sadly it is true that we Americans prefer more voluptuous forms on the whole, but there are plenty of slim actresses and singers that are admired as well. I personally would like to think that JIyeon is the more talented of the two. Hyo Seong is a pretty girl and very talented but I feel Jiyeon is more so. Of coursed I'm biased. If it was won on pure physical beauty, though, then Jiyeon's sexy eyes and sultry moves beat out Hyo-Seong's wiggling and pouting. Again-I am biased.

Lovely Qri. She is such an incredible beauty.

I've watched it in Korean and it is very funny. Now I want to see it in English so that I can understand it. I hope the subbers have time to get to it. Thanks for all the hard work you do for all of us to better enjoy our girls!

People are rediscovering what Queen's have never forgotten. These girls are so delightful to watch.

I really believe this is a long term song. Many songs come and go very quickly. They may be very popular when they come out, but after a week or two they are played out and rarely if ever are heard again. This one is not that type. It isn't played to death for one thing. It is not constantly being thrown into our faces, while at the same time it is not slipping away. Every time Jiyeon performs it there is a freshness to it which I can only attribute to her natural grace and style of performing. On top of that, although the song is repetitious it keeps my attention throughout. It has a haunting sound to it that I absolutely love. I think this is a song that will stay well know for a very long time.

I would not call her a diva yet. She is still young and despite her experience she has a ways to go to enter that classification. Like many Queen's I'm enjoying the ride as she works her way to it though.

So much Jiyeon news today! I love it. People beyond the Queen's are seeing how great she is. Keep fighting and stay sweet and strong Jiyeon!!

Once again proof that a lovely young woman with talent and a great personality can make it in the world. I have to add that I love how she proves that sexy does not mean raunchy and slutty. It is in the attitude and the eyes. It's in the presence. She doesn't even have to show off her perfect belly button! LOL!

That is such a sweet smile. You cannot fake a smile and warm and fresh as that one.

I sound like a broken record but I am loving the new hairstyle! Of course it could be that she is such a natural and flawless beauty that any hairstyle, even a flattop would look great on her!!

Fantastic! I look forward to her being an MC again. She is so fun to watch.

And I just fell for her all over again. Flawless. Although I'm not sure why they darkened her eyebrows so much in the one set of photos. It's funny because she is so self-conscious about her eyebrows.

Whoa! Wow! Yes Hyomin is a a talent, sweet, funny and gorgeous young lady. Wow! The short blonde hair? Wow! I can't wait!! I hate it when she is objectified as "the sexy one"( even though it is true) but she has definitely got the facial structure to pull off any hairstyle and this one looks great just from the side view and the small shot within the photo. A new look, a new direction a new page. Hyomin is definitely not going to be left in Jiyeon's dust. I love Jiyeon and cannot stop listening to her song. She has matured into a beautiful woman with exceptional talent. Don't get me wrong.But it is high time Hyomin got her due!!! She looks fabulous and I know she will do incredible with this project!!

@Mohawkian 1) If CCM actually learnt how to do proper PR, then the media wouldn't have been going on a reporting spree and the catastrophe could actually have been better contained and had a smaller impact on T-ara's image. Blaming it all on the media is just plain ignorance and only breaking the tip of the iceberg. Is it not a given that CCM is the original root cause of the problems that T-ara has? I thought it was not necessary to mention. Of course they have been mismanaged. But don't discount the impact the media has on the career of any artist. In America a career can be totally destroyed by one bad review. From what I've seen in Korea it is just as bad if not worse. Having been active in the arts for 30 years now I know what I speak of. I'm not disagreeing with your rather adamant opinions. I simply add that one must not discount the impact of a biased and uninformed media that will not hesitate to print any item regardless of verification and then never retract when the truth has been revealed. As far as the rest of your reactions to my post, thank you. It is refreshing to know that there is a voice amongst the silence that will speak those opinions. But regardless, I will still keep hope and faith alive. Have a great day and keep fighting the good fight!

Back to the original topic, I think the article has stated it's concept in incorrect terminology. I prefer "divide and conquer" as opposed to this concept of "dying". I became a kpop fan through T-ara and EunJung in particular. I have listened to music fads come and go for fifty years now. I have heard some that could stand the test of time and some that could not. The thing that drew me to kpop was the fresh and bright feeling of it. Specifically that feeling I get from T-ara. I'm not burying my head in the sand when I say that there is always a chance that something good can happen. I am not wearing rose-colored glasses when I say "T-ara can come back bigger and better than ever." I am thinking positively. No, the T-ara we have loved in the beginning will not be back. A sweet and special thing has been crushed beneath the boot heel of the media in its ever desperate desire to find a story and sensationalize it. They are victims and if they want to survive in the industry in any form they will have to play a different hand. This is when we see the tenacity and character of these ladies. They refuse to give up. They take up the challenge of all of the nay-sayers who predict the rapid collapse of the hallyu wave and make every effort using any and every skill they have to keep it going through the rough times. No, kpop cannot always stay the same if it wants to survive. It has changed over the last several years so that it can remain active. Any art form will do that. It has to in order to survive. It is people like T-ara who will be the Lee Hyori of tomorrow. Because she didn't give up, she is bigger than ever. Because T-ara will not give up, they will become bigger than ever. Wishful thinking? No. Positive thinking. If the fans cannot be positive and supportive and willing to embrace new and different concepts, then how can these ladies be expected to survive? I firmly believe that their agenda is to divide and conquer and then regroup. They will wisely continue to ignore the venom and acid spewed by their "antis" and keep coming back with smiles on their faces and surprises for their audiences. If you are a fan who feels obligated to point out the "sad truth" then you are not being supportive. A fan is someone who stays with their celebrity through the good and bad times and does not try to find blame or accept the eventual downfall. No, they are the ones who will happily continue to support their celebrities beyond any outcome. I am proud to be a fan. I will continue to support all of the efforts of T-ara until the end and beyond. The wheel of fortune continues to turn. It goes through the good times and the bad, but it keeps turning. We have gone through the bad. Hang on because the good ones are coming back.

I am impressed with her professional ability to make the new choreography work so well in such a short prep time. Truly a professional. Yes, yes , yes the special effect was nice. But don't get hung up on that. Watch her performance. Marvel at her grace and poise. The intensity of her face in character with the song. It's excellent. I think people are not appreciating the fact that they are witnessing perfection.

Is this a new dog? Or is that tiny little Totoro wrapped up like a bear?

Yeah I want this. And I have a birthday coming up this summer!!

Being conservative and old fashioned is not a bad thing. And we do have that great performance she already did. This just means a new different video to watch! More variety of Jiyeon. But if this is too sexy, what about...no I'm not going to say it. Maybe it's just because it is Jiyeon. When she gets that smoldering look on her face then everything she does is sexy.

I absolutely love her puppy updates. Totoro is so very cute!!

An excellent performance! Like the best performers, she is fed by audience response. The adrenaline rush that comes from performing in front of an audience is a powerful thing and it causes a high that no man-made chemical can compare to. She is so so so strong in her live performances. I really enjoyed this more than the MV! So happy for her!! And wasn't the wrist scarf because of her recent injury? If so it was a nice way to cover it.

The video is DAEBAK!!! I've seen the others as well and can honestly say I really do prefer Jiyeon's, but I am obviously very biased. I've eagerly awaited it and it was sooooo worth the wait!! She is perfect!
