[15.06.05] 'Elsie' Eunjung responded to public anger with constant apology in an interview
 
 

T-ara's Eunjung (27, real name Hahm Eun Jung) stood in front of the public as a soloist. Using Elsie as her solo stage name, she released her first ever solo album after debuting for years, and ended her promotion of the title track 'I'm Good'.

It wasn't an easy challenge. Having a little more than a month of preparation time, it was a sudden solo activity. The name Elsie, used as a part of the blind marketing strategy, was unfamiliar to the public. However, Eunjung ended the promotion successfully as expected. Unlike 'T-ara's Eunjung', Elsie exuded a different charm of maturity by performing body wave dance in a dress with side slit. Her melancholic and sweet voice surprised even fans.

Eunjung had an interview at the Mok-dong CBS office recently, discussing on various topics, from the end of her solo activities, to the continuous malicious comments made to her.

 

Part 1

When did you start preparing for your solo album?

There have been plans for solo activity since the past, but it was only suggested officially at the start of this year. It didn't went well in the beginning, but the company still started it unexpectedly. I was still mentally unprepared when being managed all of a sudden, and I came out as a solo in only about a month. It was a short preparation, but thanks to many people's assistance with the album, I am very satisfied. I hope to have make longer preparation next time and spend even more effort to make a better album.

Is there any interesting thing that happened (during this solo)?

I was very busy with the album cover's photoshoot schedule. Sleeping for only one and a half hour before proceeding to the photoshoot the second day is really too tiring. That's why if you look at the photos carefully, none them showed me with my eyes open normally. (laughs) Luckily the first scene was on the bed, so I could close my eyes for awhile.

Why did you use Elsie as your stage name for the solo?

Our CEO gave me this name because it symbolizes all good qualities of 'brightness', 'happiness', 'honesty', 'a promise to the god', as well as 'dignity'. I was actually a little embarrassed with it too. When I first heard the name, I also thought that it is very similar to Frozen's Elsa, a lot of people laughed when they hear my name too. On top of that, we couldn't reveal it openly as we started off with the blind marketing initially. We didn't do that entirely for the sake of hiding my existence, it was because the CEO had intended to let my music be heard first (before introducing the singer). Of course, I wanted to tell everyone that I am Elsie as soon as possible. I was afraid that no one would know it is T-ara's Eunjung after that, but now I have also developed a feeling for the name Elsie.

Is the concept of your solo activity what you have expected as 'solo Eunjung'?

No, it is totally different. A lot of people like me in my healthy, energetic and boyish image. I thought I would want to improve on that image if I could have a solo. However, the company hoped that I will be able to showcase an entirely different image. They figured that it will be good to show a more feminine appearance, and even better if people didn't recognize as me. I changed my hairstyle, and wore many outfits that I wouldn't wear usually, the change is really drastic.



As your first solo album, did you not participate in the production?

Other than the title track, all other songs in the album were personally chosen by me - from listening to the songs at the start to choosing them in the end. I even wanted to participate in choosing the title track but the company advised me otherwise after much consideration. I also felt that it seems to be a good idea to try a different image, which was why I started promoting with 'I'm Good'.

Your melancholic vocal, different from when you were in T-ara, has made a deep impression.

I have always had a thick vocal, I can also make soft, thin sound through breathing techniques. I belong to the type that changes my singing style according to the ambience of the music. This time it's a song where the lyrics are filled with heartbreaks and sadness, hence I emphasized on the feminine feel in it.

Although it was a pity, but your music didn't chart well as expected.

At first I got into top 20 but halfway through, we did something that wasted the fans' efforts. This is the first time I am mentioning this, but originally 'I'm Good' is a song of 3 minutes 9 seconds long, but the company changed to 3 minutes 50 seconds long afterwards. The company wanted to show a better song after the mix, and hence cleared all the data from before. To me this is a lovely act, but regrettably, I also feel sorry to the fans who supported me. Being able to stand tall on the sites is no doubt a good thing, but I already feel satisfied once I think of being able to have people question "Eunjung can also have that side?" and things like this. Moreover, each time I stand on the stage, many people gave me strength. I feel thankful just for this.

How do you feel having solo activities?

Due to the fact that I have to stand on stage alone, there are a lot of details I had to take care of. It is the same for the rest right? From the release of the album, to the viewer rate on Youtube, everything has to be taken care of nicely. The sequence of the pages inside the album was decided by me as well. Every single word in the Thanks to, and even the small gifts are very important to me. What's more, I have to be strong at heart to stand on the stage alone.

Things you would definitely want to do after ending the solo promotion?

After ending my promotion, I have decided to go eat pork belly meat with my company and my family. I want to eat a plentiful of it. (laughs)

 



Part 2

You recently shed tears on Mnet's '4 Things Show'.

After watching the broadcast, I blamed myself a lot, why did I cry? (laughs) The shooting was really interesting and I was very happy. I relaxed a lot as they (the production team) showed me a lot of care and concern. I'm not sure if it's because of that, but after having the chance to converse with the production team members comfortably, I suddenly teared up and started talking about the past just like that...The production team broadcasted that scene with the intention of showing a warm atmosphere, but that appearance has caught an attention. "I displayed another image that will lead to misunderstanding again", I thought. People can have different interpretation from seeing the same thing. I should be responsible for my tears.

You talked about the word 'determination', and smiled as you look at the 'cake'. That made a very deep impression. Have you become immune already?

Saying that those doesn't matter now would be a lie. Regardless of me saying I like it or not, this is a sensitive topic either way. Firstly I feel that I should accept. After seeing the cake prepared by the production team of '4 Things Show', I laughed because I felt a mixture of emotions.

There were many malicious comments such as "why did you appear on the broadcast instead of apologizing?" (T-ara, the group Eunjung belonged to, suffered an image change after controversy on the ostracizing of ex-member Hwayoung incident in 2012.)

Of course I should continue apologizing. I have decided to apologize, but the if the public did not think of it as an apology, then it isn't one. I personally feel that I should continue apologizing, until the public stopped questioning "why are you not apologizing?". Moreover, we (T-ara) are already people who live by getting scolded, we are people who have done wrong. No matter what kind of explanation we try to give, it won't look good. Of course, to me, the company, as well as our fans, it is very upsetting. Even so, if the public said no, then it's a no, and because they are angry, it is right of us to soothe their anger.

After experiencing being a child actor, to being in a girl group, until your solo activities now, it really do seem that your determination is strong.

"Perseverance and hardwork brings forward understanding," I continue with this in mind. I won't try to differentiate where I should go, I go wherever I am needed. From being a child actor to participating in T-ara's activities, it really is a blessing to be in the entertainment industry for 20 years.

What is your source of motivation?

It might sound like a lecture, but the love from fans is really powerful. Being able to remember me and support me, I want to repay them back. While going through solo activities this time, I felt that the love from fans became even more extensive, which made me think of showing everyone a better me from now on.



The area you would like to challenge from now on?

Stage play musical. I would also like to try being a radio DJ. I like to listen to stories shared by others. I do have desire in new things, but from T-ara's activities, to acting, I won't expect too much if I can just do what I can from now on.

What will T-ara's Eunjung be like 10 or 20 years later?

Actually I don't have a definite plan, because I am in an industry where I don't even know what schedule I have tomorrow. When I was 10, I wouldn't have thought that I will become a T-ara member in my 20's. During my debut days, I have never thought that I will become a solo singer one day and have such interviews. Although I will be insecure being unable to set a goal for my future, but thinking optimistically it could be interesting as well, because I don't know what will be coming in the future.

What kind of person are you, not as T-ara's Eunjung, but solely as Eunjung, in the late 20s?

I will be a person with sense of responsibility and honesty. People of the same age as me are like that too. After going through mid 20s, there will be more troubling thoughts of the future and an increasing responsibility, it's just that we all have different career. On normal days, I would watch movie and go to restaurants with friends. Wearing sunglasses is even more attention seeking, so I wear casual clothing to shop everywhere. (laughs)

It has been a long time since you had a one-to-one interview, isn't it?

This seems to be the first time since 2 or 3 years time. After starting solo activities, I feel like a rookie who just debuted, today's interview felt like that too. Ending the activities in different perspective, my thoughts became different and I have become more comfortable as well.

Your plans from now on?

Although broadcast activities has ended, there is still a fully packed schedule for me. Starting from June onwards, T-ara will be having concert tour in China. The filming of our Korean-Chinese web drama is also ongoing. I will probably be having activities in China for the time being.

“Are all of these really our fans?”


 
Ah! I got caught.
Although my mouth is covered with the mask,
my eyes are smiling.


 
Yes. We received a passionate (welcome) in Hong Kong.
Thinking of the moment we arrived at the airport,
I still get goosebumps.


 
Hello.

You’re asking whether I have an ‘issue’?
Yes, itshu!!


 
On the 7th~6th of this month, we spent a hot day in Hong Kong. We participated in the Hong Kong 2015 Youth Music Festival and had a production press conference about the T-ARA web-drama. You’re curious about our trip report, aren’t you? From here onwards, follow me~

We’ve truly never felt this welcomed in a long time.


 
An interview took place as well.


 

 
shall we call this self-luminous~


 
Wait a minute!! you’re asking what T-ara’s web-drama is about? I’ll explain.


 
It will have T-ARA as the leads.
6 different stories

It will be in omnibus format.


 
‘Black Holiday’ which played on screen that day had Qri unnie as the lead. You can trust me on this, It’s fun.


 
Oh right, 'Five Doll’s Seunghee, too, will have an important role in the drama. To give a hint, the mediator that links all 6 stories together?


 

 
So! It’s photo-time now. Everyone line up


 

 
“Rambbo unnie, the best baby face”


 

 
That’s a nice heart


 
Everything we did in Hong Kong will remain to us as unforgettable memories. We’re also waiting for the day we meet with our Korean fans again. This was Reporter Eunjung with you.

[15.05.16] Boram talks of the pressure of being a part a 3 Generation celebrity family
 

 
A 3-generations celebrity family. She has a celebrity family that consists of grandfather (Hwanghae), grandmother (Baek Sulhee), father (Jeon Young-Rok), mother (Lee Miyoung), and even her younger sister (Jeon Wooram). It’s T-ARA’s Jeon Boram who’s determined with her unique talents to become an even more famous singer than her father and an even more outstanding actress than her mother.
Jeon Boram said that she does feel lucky for having celebrity parents and grandparents; however, there’s a side to the story that not everyone knows. “Because my parents are celebrities, I feel even more careful. The burden I carry inside to show (the public) an even better image than my parents has been stressing me out. I’m not even in the position where I can tell others that I have worries. My worries might bring shame to my parents.”
“I tried to not become (a burden) on my parents’ name. When I first said I wanted to become a singer, my father worried a lot. Although he didn’t show it, I could tell he wanted to stop me when I first told him. However, he didn’t oppose me. He just looked at me silently,” said Jeon Boram. Whereas Boram’s mother, Lee Miyoung, fully supported her singer activities.
Jeon Boram confessed that she felt lots of pressure over being labelled a 2nd or 3rd generation celebrity. “Before being known to the public, the label ‘Someone’s daughter’ was following me everywhere. I had lots of stress since my parents are the ones to receive the backlash whenever I do anything wrong or cause trouble. However, after I began working hard in T-ARA, I started getting acknowledged as T-ara’s Boram rather than ‘Someone’s daughter’ which made me feel happy.”
When asked whether she ever took advantage of her celebrity parents’ statue, Jeon Boram replied “That’s completely not true. If I was riding on my celebrity parents’ coattails, then I wouldn’t have failed all of those auditions. I would’ve just debuted easily and promoted easily. When I was cast as a T-ARA member, it was due to the CEO’s love-call to me after he watched a video of me dancing to BoA.” The whole family are celebrities so it’s not easy for them to gather. Boram shared that when the family gathers, they’d talk about all sort of things and the place will be filled with bright laughers. She said that she’s happy to be promoting in T-ARA. “I don’t have a friendly personality, but I enjoy it and feel happy when I share conversations with my family. When we have activities, we monitor and give advices to each other. We’re all celebrities so we have sharp eyes,” she said while laughing.

Too many and hence I shall only share those which are clear and in close-up.

[14.12.26] Persevering even though it's lonely... a promise kept 2 years later
 
An explosive rumour that resulted in an irreparable impact, from this angle, this definitely looked wrong. But if you examine deeper, you will realize they had been maligned yet had chosen to continuously maintain their silence. After the incident happened, it snowballed into something bigger and bigger. This without a doubt was an easy target for the hunters, which turned the rumours into "fact." Even for those who want to find out the truth now, it has already become meaningless. For T-ara, they can only grind their teeth and persevere. These 2 harsh years for T-ara had been so lonesome and depressing. Regardless of it, they continue to push on.

On the afternoon of 25th, T-ara held their 1st solo concert 'Dear My Family' at Seoul, Gangnam Coex. Two shows in a day and met with 2200 audience. Compared to the cold internet forum receptions, T-ara's family and fans participated in it. This concert was T-ara's 1st after 6 years into their debut and had a special meaning to it. That day, T-ara performed Cry Cry, No.9, Sugar Free, etc. (20 songs) for the 2 hours show. T-ara opened the concert with a christmas-feel theme.

T-ara expressed to their fans, who had worked hard in supporting them, their desire to keep their promises. Qri said, "they had really wanted to meet for a very long time." Soyeon, "although we had held many concerts overseas, this is our 1st time in Korea. Thank you everyone for your support and please continue supporting us." Hyomin simply said, "I am very happy" and started choking back her tears. Jiyeon expressed that "they will perform all the songs they had never been able to perform during this period of time." Boram said gratefully that "she was very happy and excited and that she can't put her emotions into words."

T-ara 1st solo concert was originally planned 2 years and 4 months ago. It was planned for a large scale of 10,000+ audience and had created a sold-out record. T-ara's members were preparing for the concert, but just before the concert could happen, the sudden news resulted in the collapse of T-ara. At the same time, the determination of the fans started to waver. In spite of that, T-ara did not give up as they bit their teether, held the fort and carried on till today.

T-ara said, "a few years ago we cancelled our concert. Even though today's scale is not as big, compared to the thousands-scale concert, today's concert is more important and meaningful. We spend Christmas with everyone and in the future, T-ara will work even harder."

At the concert's ending, T-ara shared a video message, "thinking of the time that had passed, we sometimes wonder if we can carry on. The reason why we can stand up here today is because of each one of you." They further added in their message, "we will work harder to make our fans feel that being a Queen's is a good fortune. We hope to become this kind of T-ara."

After the ending of T-ara domestic concert, they will go to China for their tour. In September, T-ara signed a contract to begin their activities in China. These will include concerts, dramas and varieties as well.

T-ara concluded at their concert "today is our 1st solo concert and there are many areas for improvement. T-ara will work hard to improve and we hope everyone will continue supporting us. We will attend MBC Gayo on the 31st."

[14.12.24] T-ara to shift focus on Chinese regions
 
T-ara will hold their first concert in Shanghai on 27th December and embark on their first China concert tour in the first half of next year.

Previously T-ara was working individually to be an all-round entertainer in acting, varitey show, solo etc. However in 2015, T-ara will put aside all individual activities and focus on group. First and foremost, they will begin activities in China and follow by Malaysia, Singapore etc. Hence Korean fans are anxious as the date for the comeback in Korea has not been finalised.

With China becoming the new Hallyu fanbase, T-ara will reinforce their K-Pop Queen identity with the vast support from their China fans.

T-ara had recently released a song, "Little Apple", which was co-produced by China's largest video site Youku and WEB TV ASIA, as such, T-ara has officially ventured into the Chinese market. T-ara had also starred in Hunan TV variety show (Day Day Up) where they demostrated their impressive variety show skills.

In addition, T-ara will be attending the MBC Gayo Daejun on the 31st December.
