[14.12.16] Hyojoon leaves a supporting message for T-ara
and his little sister Jiyeon
 

On December 14th, Park Hyojoon, elder brother by one year to our Jiyeon, made use of his time off from his mandatory military service to attend T-ara's 2nd Queen's Fanmeet 'Present'!

After the show, Hyojoon posted a photo with T-ara with a sweet message:
They said one, two, three without me realizing, I almost lift a fist while shouting ‘hwaiting’..
I will take a picture with Hyomin noona again later…with noona’s expensive selca stick!
I wanted to send a happy birthday message to Qri noona but I didn’t know noona’s new phone number so..it’s late but happy birthday!
Eunjung noona who keeps getting prettier, she lives nearby but it’s not easy to run into each other in the neighbourhood! ahhh..maybe because I’m a soldier..hahaha
Hojoon-ah~Hojoon-ah~ Please call me ‘Hyo’joon, Soyeon noona^-^
Let’s have a meal together later, Boram noona! A dr-..drink would be good too heuheu..
At last, Jjirong-ah (Jiyeon), Oppa has 9 months left!
After 9 months, I will become an honourable oppa whom you can be proud of wherever you go!
I am supporting you whenever and wherever.
Fighting!
 
Translation by T-arazone.
Though in the midst of his service to his country, it is endearing to see Hyojoon's continuous love for his baby sister. Fans have speculated Hyojoon's discharge to be on the 27th of September in 2015, a mysterious date given in Jiyeon's solo mini album that matches up with his mention of having 9 months left!
Let's look forward to the reunion of these dear siblings! In the meantime, you can follow Hyojoon on Facebook for more of his updates.

Hi guys!
Last night, I received an update from our Friends in Korea and TreePlanet regarding the construction details of the Forest we sponsored to be built in commemoration of T-ara's 5th Debut Anniversary.
In our previous update, we've said that the construction will be underway during the Autumn and is set to open for public use by the end of 2014. However, there's been amendments made to the contract and there will be some changes. The full details of the construction plan are outlined as follows:

The forest will now be located near KBS, right above the National Assembly Station in Seoul (as opposed to beside the MNet Complex). The contract drafted for the previous location (around the Digital Media Station) was denied so we were directed to a different place instead. The map above shows the area where our forest will be built.

Above, you'll see a flat diagram of the plan we have in store for the T-ara Forest. We've included translations to the different plants, flowers, and trees that will be living inside our forest. Plant/tree names without translations are those that we couldn't find English translations to. You can refer to how each plant looks like below (so you can better visualize the forest):


왕벚나무 (Yoshino Cherry Trees)
산소유 (Cornus)
원추리 (Daylilies)
배롱나무 (Crape Myrtle Trees)
남천 (Nandinas)
회양목 (Boxwood)
청단풍
자산홍
맥문동 (Lilyturf)
모란 (Tree Poenies)
화살나무 (Winged Spindle)
옥잠화 (Hostas)
The construction will start this month (November 2014). We can expect to see the forest fully built by the end of the year or early 2015. When the forest opens to the public, there will be signs around the forest to let visitors know that it was built in celebration of T-ara's 5th Anniversary. Moreover, visitors will know that the forest was fully sponsored to be built by T-ara's fans. TreePlanet is in the process of building the official webpage to go along with the forest. Visitors are able to scan a QR code to view more information about the Forest. This includes all the people and/or websites that teamed up to make the forest happen.
We will continue to post updates on the forest as we receive them. We would like to thank all our donors and all the QUEEN's that participated, donated, and actively spread the word about our forest project. To recap, we successfully raised almost $9,000.00 with our friends at T-araDotCom, T-ARA6JAPAN, and T-araHK to make this forest come to life; and as you can see from the plan, all the money we've collected are being put towards a great cause!
If you have any questions regarding the details posted above, please send them over at the comments below. We will try our best to answer your questions.

[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)!

[sUGGESTION] Paying for Melon Streaming Pass through Diadem Forums
 
In Korea, Melon ranking is most important. So we need all Queens's help.
~ T-araunion
 
 
Last week, T-araunion offered that they can help international Queen's get Melon streaming passes if we paid them through paypal. But some of us really had trouble in actually getting this to work. It could be due to the language barrier or something else. But I really like the idea of opening up a service for Int'l Queens to get Melon passes.
 
This is why I would like to suggest if the Diadem Forum can help members get Melon Streaming passes, either for this comeback or the next. With all the difficulties, I rather send my hard earned cash to a trusted entity like Diadem Forums (who actually responds to my questions and gives notices if my payment was received or not).
 
If the Diadem forum can organize complex projects like ordering food support & birthday gifts for our girls or even helping us pay for official Queen’s memberships, I am truly confident that it can also help us really make an impact to help T-ara in Korean digital charts by helping us pay for these passes.
 
I don’t even mind if Diadem will charge a fee for this service. The money can be used for the Forum’s maintenance or other projects.
 
This is just what I’m thinking right now. What do you guys think? Is this feasible?

These girls got the memo that reads "impress the audience with aegyo",



they must have misread it as “murder the audience with aegyo”.

The most hated group in South Korea collaborates with one of the most hated men in America... lol. What is KKS thinking? This is going to do nothing to help T-ara's image in Korea, besides, they should promote more in Japan, not think about a US debut right now.

Wow, congratulations!
I guess making 10 different versions of the album was a good idea after all.

I found this on twitter http://twitpic.com/bo5t1q

IMO this was the right decision. It would just have been one more reason to hate on T-ara. Especially if they did a sexy dance (like Hyuna) Jiyeon's and Hyomin's scandals would never die down.
But KKS seriously needs to stop with the "T-ara turned down ___ offer". Most people don't believe him anyway, plus, it sheds more bad light on the girls. It would be better to do some charity work quietly, with time they could regain at least some of their reputation.
