[15.01.22] MBK Entertainment CEO Gao Jian Ci, "T-ara will be the future of Hallyu in China."
The survival of the fittest applies to all and the entertainment industry is no exception. With the signing of the China-Korea Fair Trade Agreement in November 2014, it signifies the birth of increased competition and changes in the entertainment industries of both countries. The beginning of the FTA from March has heightened expectations in many areas from the expansion of artists' activities to movies, dramas and variety. Being rash is definitely undesirable, but with the stream of 'China Wave', it has brought about more chances and riskiness for Korea's domestic entertainment companies which has been a topic of 2015. Amidst this trend, there is a entreprise which has been speedy at work, it is none other than MBK Entertainment.
MBK former 'self' was CCM, led by Kim Kwang Soo. He has led T-ara, Son Ho Jun, F-ve dolls, Speed etc in October 2014 to form MBK, Music Beyond Korea. He emphasises that MBK and CCM are 2 different companies. Prior to MBK, the focus was on stability and completeness. Now in 2015, MBK will be more active in promotions and organising events. Focus is on becoming "a global entertainment company."
Q: Let's get straight to it. When did you actually start planning on taking over the reins of CCM?
Gao: From April 2014, I already had plans on a model for an entertainment company. So, I started MBK in July last year and formalised it in September. Foremost, out of the many companies, I chose CCM to merge with. It was mainly because Kim Kwang Soo and I share the same visions.
MBK was perceived by the public to be "CCM" with a name-change, but this is not the case. Although the original team (artists) remain unchanged, it is essentially a different company from CCM. In the initial stages of forming the company, we prioritise revamping and stability and did not feel the need to specially express this difference. In the future, we will address this misunderstanding.
Q: Then what kind of company is MBK?
Gao: Our company focus is no longer solely on the Korean market. MBK's name signifies a step above Korean Music. Finding the answer to the globalisation of Hallyu. Hence, I believe taking over CCM was appropriate.
Especially with the possibility of (our core group) T-ara's oversea activities, growth is the focus. Compared to boy bands, the recognition of girl groups is on the downfall. After Baby Vox in the beginning stages which received exceptional attention, there aren't any more. On this level, T-ara holds an unique advantage. In the China market, the response has been good. Although currently the income from Japenese activities are higher, with the expansion into the Chinese market, the situation will change. I believe that starting Chinese activities now will have a big impact.
Q: Currently what is the level of T-ara's popularity in China like? Please be specific.
Gao: Last year-end, T-ara held a concert at Shanghai. From a realistic point of view of the box office, the ticket sales were of the highest. It ended successfully and the Chinese company had even completed a proposal for the next show. Although it is difficult with the current music sources, but the model of using concerts for profits has already been established. Since the signing with the China agency, T-ara members have been in discussions over movie and drama roles.
Without a doubt, we will work hard to achieve it. The purpose for the collaboration of T-ara and the popular China duo, Chopstick Brothers, was also for China activities. For them to receive continuous love, they must work on local popular works. Although worried about Korea's comments, this decision was made for their China activities. In comparison to a depressing situation, the response so far has been passable. Especially when we found something that stirs up the interest in China. The sales methods have also evolved. Gangnam Style finding fame through YouTube is a classic example.
Q: It seems inevitable that there will be competition with the bigger entertainment companies.
Gao: I think this is a chance to liven up the Hallyu scene. Of course, SM, YG and other companies are also preparing for their advancement into China. For this year, our plan is more of an offensive one: to carry out activities and expand the enterprise. These areas, where other entertainment companies would not take into consideration, we will have to try them ourselves. T-ara should also take this to heart, so as to put more emphasis/focus on it.
We must do well in these areas. Moreover, this is the start of our China advancement. The Little Apple project has garnered enthusiastic responses. To produce comparative results at once, with promotions as our main focus, is what we are worried of. We are in the position to learn about enterprising advertisements and activities; we will carry them out in no time.
Q: MBK's journey will be a busy one. Are there any plans still in the midst of formulation?
Gao: MBK has a lot of things prepared. (Laughs) Those of which we have already started with, we hope to continue being busy with. There will be new releases for SPEED and The Seeya. However, we will also have to prepare for the new group to take flight. Of course, Kim Kwang Soo is the main producer for this. If he produces 100, it is the management's and my job to make it 200-300.
In order to bloom, even though we put in a little more for the new group's expenses in the early stages, we will have to face the challenges bravely. We are also mindful of and are in the midst of preparing Chinese activities for the newer groups.
For example: under circumstances where there has not been extensive promotions, The Seeya's new song has still managed to clinch 6th place on Yin Yue Tai. This kind of response is really surprising. We will continue to cultivate this area.
Q: Last question. Please tell us about MBK Entertainment's future goals.
Gao: We want to make this company a place where the artists and staff feel like this is their home. We want to find a way whereby in the long run, both the staff and artists can have a symbiotic relationship. Of course, we want to earn money too. As of now, we have just over 40 staff members. This year's revenue should hit 160 hundred million won. If everything goes as planned, this should not be difficult.

xbot got a reaction from rcksh in [SPAZZ] From MBC Gayo Daejun 2014 - Soyeon & Eunjung.. I saw what you two did there :)
So I was just watching MBC Gayo Daejun 2014 Part 2, when I noticed during the talking segments: Just behind the hosts, Sso is giving love signs and mouthing "Oppa, Oppa.. Oppa, annyeong.." to the camera!!
We all probably know who that was targeted at. But moments later.. Eunjung did the same thing!!
Now, I'm wondering who is Eunjung calling 'Oppa annyeong' to?
Care to enlighten us, Ms. Park..?
PS: That's Boram's hand shushing Soyeon by the way

The reason we’re able to stand on this stage today is solely because of you guys.

[14.12.22]Info - T-ara's Pretty Boys Producer hints at a possible season 2?
In a blog post made on the 21st, the Producer of T-ara's reality show SBS E! Pretty Boys has hinted for a chance of a second season
The Producer writes that Eunjung and Jiyeon will appear in a SBS documentary on Korean Arts, Drama and K-Pop by the SAF (Study Abroad Foundation) early next year. He then slips in how he is hoping for a season two of the show!
T-ara's Pretty Boys aired in 2011, running till early 2012, focusing on the girls as they recruited the best of a group of men through various tasks to help run a charity event. T-ara's last show, Princess T-ara, aired in 2013 with it's final episode inn early 2014. It's certainly about time to see our girls and their shenanigans on the small screen once again!

[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.
