Even though AllKpop is thoroughly evil and shouldn't exist, at least Hyomin is winning the finals 61% to 39% of their Best Rapper poll with 1 day remaining. The poll exists only for entertainment purposes but it's great to see Queen's supporting Hyomin!
http://www.allkpop.com/article/2014/09/tournament-best-idol-rapper-in-k-pop
 
Update:
As the allkpop polls closes, Hyomin has emerged victorious!

The poll was purely for entertainment purposes so it has no measurable impact on chart performance, but Queen's have once again turned out in huge numbers to support Hyomin this week with almost 378,000 votes! 
 
Is Hyomin the best rapper in Kpop? We love her and she's a very good rapper but probably not the best who ever was or will ever be and to suggest such would be disrespectful to a lot of talented people in the business. However that's not the way the contest was set up.
 
It would've been more accurate to call it the most popular rapper contest, but regardless of semantics, allkpop has been absolutely terrible to T-ARA and their fans for over two years so it's good that Queen's stood up and let them know what time it is, so to speak.
 
That said, this contest generated clicks in the millions for akp which probably isn't a good thing considering that allkpop profits from creating fanwars, spreading lies and generally turning something we all love into an ugly and confrontational atmosphere which ultimately detracts from the entire kpop scene. 
 
When all is said and done however, Hyomin won a fan contest and that's a good thing! (Sort of.)

Sunbyung (Sunny + Hyomin) Yep, i know, Sunny isn't a T-ara member...
Hyomin + Qri
Hyomin + Jiyeon

My top 3 without ranking
 
Eunyeon

 
Minkyul
 

 
Soram (tom and jerry)
 

Boram and Soyeon
Boram and Qri
Boram and Jiyeon

1. Eunyeon

 
2. Holy Trinity 

 
3. Jikyul 

 
I basically ship Jiyeon with everyone in T-ara maybe because she's the youngest and all the members seem to dote on her a lot. 

Hi everyone!
 
I'm here today because I am really curious about others diadem's members and their interests into T-ara's pairing and ship. We all have this one pair we  can't stop smiling when seeing them together right? All you want is for them to--- kiss!! And maybe more too haha.
 

 
Which is what makes me really curious. So yeah, you all have seen my question, I'd like to know what is your top 3 favourites pairings in T-ara? 
 
Mine is :
 
#1 ramyeon (forever and ever will be the number one fan of ramyeon to be honest)
 

 
#2 ssokyul (they were legit my first ship I liked in T-ara)
 

 
#3 ramkyul (this one is really dumb since I like it because my two biases are in it)
 

 
So! What about you?

[14.10.20] T-ARA to release the Korean remake of "Little Apple" by Chopstick Brothers on 6th November!
 

 
T-ARA will release the Korean remake of Chopstick Brothers' song "Little Apple" on the 6th of November 2014! The remake is a collaboration between T-ARA and Chopstick Brothers and will be rearranged and composed by Shinsadong Tiger. "Little Apple" is a very famous viral song in China that is known for its interesting and fun lyrics and melody, matched with its hilarious (and even ridiculous) MV that is generally well-received by all demographic groups.

According to MBK Entertainment that manages T-ARA, their remake of "Little Apple" will be tweaked and focused on T-ARA's style and strengths. The lyrics will be simple and the melody of the song will definitely be addictive because of its catchy tune.

In order to attend SBS MTV The Show production recital that will be held in Shanghai on 21st October 2014, T-ARA will be flying from Incheon Airport to Shanghai at 8:45am tomorrow. Furthermore, after T-ARA's concert in Shanghai on 27 December 2014, T-ARA will officially start their promotions in China, ranging from appearing on variety shows, possibly even dramas, CFs and many more media-related activities.

Little Apple is insanely popular in China and in many parts of the world. Flash mob popular!



It's one of those songs that sticks with you. I've been listening to it all day.
Also if you look at the dance moves, it seems like there are some Roly Poly moves happening! 
I love the anime version. How many anime characters can you recognize?


Actviate CC for english subtitles.

To be honest the original MV for me is one of those 'What The Hell Did I Just Saw!!??!" kind of videos. But that is actually what makes me excited for this project. I want T-ara to embrace the wackiness.. Box MVs are great and all but we need more videos like 'Jeon Won Diary' .. Plus, Shinsadong Tiger has never disappointed me so far.

S.T's demo:

The song is really catchy! I can already imagine how a T-ARA/Shinsadong Tiger version might sound. This is very much their style.
I can only imagine what the MV would be like ! XD

Gender Finals - [Tournament] Best Idol Rapper in K-pop
http://www.allkpop.com/article/2014/09/tournament-best-idol-rapper-in-k-pop
 
While I hate AllKpop with the intensity of a thousand suns, for whatever reason they're still relevant somehow and regardless of my personal feelings toward AllKpop for what they did to T-ARA two years ago I acknowledge not all Queen's feel the same and still frequent their site.
 
The end result is that Hyomin is doing really well in their Best Idol Rapper poll!

[14.10.15] T-ara to remake a Korean version of Chinese-hit song "Little Apple" with Shinsadong Tiger
 


StarNews has revealed T-ARA will be remaking a Korean version of "Little Apple" and is scheduled to be released in November (exact date unspecified). "Little Apple" is a hit song performed by Chinese Pop singer duo Chopstick Brothers. The Korean version remake will be rearranged and composed by famous Korean music producer and songwriter, Shinsadong Tiger.

"Little Apple" was released in May earlier this year to a great deal of positive feedback from the Chinese public for its interesting and special choreography and melody. It has since resulted in many covers and parodies, increasing its popularity and virality.

The Chinese public and market have been very receptive of T-ARA and their music, resulting in their fame and popularity, for which as such it is believed they will be successful in their Korean remake of "Little Apple." Furthermore, the recent official announcement of their expansion into the China market has given the industry international attention and spotlight.

T-ARA's decision in the remake of "Little Apple" on China soil has gained the attention of the Chopstick Brothers duo. The two have plans to either perform together on stage or collaborate in other ventures or which they have received a lot of anticipation from the public.

On a side note, T-ARA had some 1,000 fans and media personnel receive them at the Beijing Airport on 13th October 2014. The group arrived in China for a press conference and some recordings before departing on the 15th.

The press conference was to announce to the media and fans that T-ARA will be officially carrying out activities in China till the end of 2014 and a possible China Tour in 2015. MBK Entertainment and Longzhen Culture signed a contract amounting to 5 billion KRW, commencing T-ARA's move into the Chinese entertainment industry. Longzhen Culture is an established organisation that handles concerts for immensely popular singers like Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung and A-Mei just to name a few.

[14.10.14] Info - T-ara ventures into China for possible 2015 China Tour and many more activities!
 
For Queen's that do not understand both Korean and Chinese (Mandarin) and had watched the Beijing press conference held yesterday (13th October 2014) to announce the partnership between MBK Entertainment and Longzhen Culture, this article is to fill you in on the important details that you need to know about what was said during the event. For the sake of copyright and ownership issues, fan-taken pictures (although made public on Weibo and Twitter) will not be used here. All pictures are taken from Yule Sohu, a news site similar to Newsen, Osen, Starnews etc. The article can be found here. For those who have not watched the press conference and would like to do so, visit here.

Let's start off with a gallery of our 6 beautiful goddesses shall we!


All of them were invited to introduce themselves in Mandarin in this order: Eunjung, Qri, Boram, Soyeon, Jiyeon, Hyomin. Eunjung was a little nervous but her pronunciation was quite accurate! Qri and Boram kept their introductions short and sweet but Boram was really adorable with her singing voice. Soyeon was probably the most confident of them all mainly because she's a natural speaker and also really good at languages. Jiyeon was really nervous but introduced herself well; Hyomin was confident but she made a minor blunder by saying "Hello, we are T-ARA's Hyomin," it was adorable because she ended off with a Chinese slang "me me da" which means hugs and kisses (like xoxo).


After the introduction, T-ARA was given a short interview by the MC about some generic questions like "Is this your first time in China," and "What are your hopes of achievements in China?" When asked if they had prepared anything for the fans and media that had attended the press conference, Eunjung said that they had prepared to sing a slow-tempo song/ballad "I Don't Want You", a song that they had been promoting alongside with "Sugar Free".

After T-ARA's performance, the MC continued the short interview and also mentioned to the media that T-ARA had been holding and maintaining first place for a few of their songs now on various music charts in China, especially their newest promoted song "Sugar Free". Shortly after the questions and praises, fan representatives from T-ARA China were invited up stage to present gifts that they had prepared for T-ARA and also to take a picture with them!



The highlight of the press conference was MBK Entertainment's Representative and Longzhen Culture's CEO taking the floor to address the media and fans. MBK's Representative talked about how MBK and Longzhen met at first, which was during the Guangzhou concert last year, since Longzhen was one of the partners that made the concert possible. They decided to partner and bring T-ARA to China, considering their popularity and demand from the Chinese fans.

Longzhen's CEO gave a short speech to the media and fans, talking about Longzhen's commitment to make T-ARA successful in China through CFs, variety shows, new music, performances and many more activities to show China and the world T-ARA's ability to shine even in a foreign land. The CEO thanked many people, including the fans, his family for support and the media for gracing the press conference. He did something like an inspirational cheer that was directed at T-ARA fans that attended the press conference to create hype and to also show the media how much support and popularity T-ARA has in China.




Following all the talk was an official contract signing session by MBK's Representative and Longzhen Culture's CEO. T-ARA was invited along with them for pictures and to mark the official commencement of T-ARA's activities in China and also the partnership between MBK Entertainment and Longzhen Culture. Following that was a champagne session where MBK's Rep and Longzhen's CEO were to pop champagne bottles and pour to fill the champagne tower. The rest of the press conference was pretty much T-ARA having fun with champagne, taking pictures and looking flawless.


Some concluding thoughts: According to the introduction video that was played before T-ARA went up stage, Longzhen Culture managed several immensely popular Mando-Pop idols. Notable ones are Ah Mei (Zhang Hui Mei from Taiwan) and S.H.E. (Selina, Hebe, Ella from Taiwan), whom sent congratulatory greetings to MBK Entertainment and T-ARA. It is still early to discuss about T-ARA's success in China, especially when they are still in the early stages of their activities in a foreign country and language is still a significant barrier for them to overcome. They had managed to be successful in Japan, and arguably achieved notable popularity and fame through their Japan promotions, tours and of course concerts. From my personal point of view, it is almost as easy for Koreans to learn Chinese as learning Japanese. Mainly because the grammatical structure and sentence formation are pretty similar for all these three languages, so I believe T-ARA will prevail in China! Then again, it's just purely my hunch and opinion. Charts and album sales won't lie though, so we shall wait and see what lies ahead of T-ARA in the near future. We must show our continuous support and love for T-ARA despite the country they're promoting in and of course, the Diadem team will try our best to deliver translations and all the good stuff to Queen's and Diademers as much as our capabilities permit! T-ARA hwaiting! Memeda (xoxo in Chinese slang)!
