nathaniel Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 On the 16th, the girl group T-ara had two major changes. The first being the recruit of the seventh member, Ryu Hwayoung, and the second being the swtich of leaders from Eunjung to Boram. On the 16th, T-ara's agency Core Contents Media announced Ryu Hwayoung was the newest member and that Boram would replace Eunjung. Just like After School and Super Junior, the choice to recruit a new member makes T-ara more diverse. When switching up the leader, the opinions were more particular (idk how to explain.) A representative of Core Contents Media told Star News over a phone call, "Once a year, the leaders will rotate, last year we already rotated with Jiae/Eunjung. It's been a year and it's time for it to happen again." Following, "Eunjung is very busy shooting her movie, even though her drama schedule just cleared up. At the time of T-ara's debut, she was a good choice for a leader as she was a trainee for the longest time among the original members," he said, "But now we've decided that rotating leaders would be a good idea as it gives all the members an opportunity to grow as members of the group." The representative also said, "The choice to replace the leaders was a choice decided by T-ara themselves. They feel that this way T-ara is able to grow more as a group into a new direction." Meanwhile, T-ara is busy with personal activities. Jiyeon's movie, "Death Bell 2" will be released this summer, Eunjung's drama "Coffee House" is being aired, and Hyomin is preparing for her drama, "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox." *** source: http://star.mt.co.kr/view/stview.php?no=20...1&outlink=1 cr: nathaniel (trans) @ diadem + starnews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*YANiPOPO* Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I think personally, no bias, People would have been warmer to accepting Soyeon as the new leader. But oh well IVE GOTTEN OVER IT. AND IF I HAVE, YOU SHOULD TOO BECAUSE IM A CRAZY FAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURSTT. Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 This is confusing , but w/e it is . ill be happy w/it . T-ara hardcore fan ~ nounou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tteresa Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I think personally, no bias, People would have been warmer to accepting Soyeon as the new leader.But oh well IVE GOTTEN OVER IT. AND IF I HAVE, YOU SHOULD TOO BECAUSE IM A CRAZY FAN. i TOTALLY Agree, and again, NO BIAS ^___~. Maybe it's because we've seen Soyeon take charge when Eunjung was absent so we've naturally thought of her as one of the leaders of the group. But i guess we have to wait another year to see her take charge ! (= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roisoleil Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 the new member's feature actually reminds me of eunjung when she still have long hair... but that's beside the point. rotating leaders? idk how to respond to that... it's weird... ._. it doesn't make sense.... let's see how Boram will lead t-ara tho.. Boram hwaiting~! thanks for translating and posting ♥ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkdragon88 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I will still always like them, but eventually wouldn't they have to have the youngest person leading them? Just seems a bit weird if that happens. I guess if T-ara decided themselves that the leader position would change, they don't really mind anyone in that position.

K-Mmoy Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 @yanipopo totally agree with you. this article still didn't justify why Boram was chosen to be the new leader. i just hope that all this stuff will point to T-ara getting better not the latter one. thanks for translating this article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shining star`★ Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Now maybe that people will stop attacking Boram because she is the new leader. After all T-ara members selected her and they even reveled in their Taxi interview that Boram fits the leader role ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iheart Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Oh hmm this is something new, but I'm not hating the idea xD I hope this goes well in the future...Which gets me wondering whos going to be the next leader? haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_d Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 rotating leader for gives the members an opportunity to grow as members of the group like that CCM's representative it sounds good for t-ara's future^^ and im curious if jiyeon become the leader XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meru Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I think the rotating leader thing is a bit ridiculous. Some people are not made to be leaders, but I have to remind myself this isn't business. The other girls will help whoever is the leader. I just think it's gonna be kinda hilarious when the the magnae will be the leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpopfan9 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 now i understand why they changed leaders.. well for me as long as they are doing great and are having a great time im totally for it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insouciance Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 So long is T-ara themselves who are for it, we as fans should be happy and support them noneotherless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applezarecrunchy Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Ohh... so they're rotating leader picked by T-ara themselves... so each member will experience some leadership ^^ (okay, I'm feeling a little bit better from the change of leader news) but this still make Jiae & Eunjung the original leaders of T-ara right?

Jakker Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 So that was the reason...I do like the idea coz the members decided on who be the leader. This way, everyone has a chance to lead and mature as a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lem Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Ah, I see what they're trying to do~ I guess every year a new leader for T-ara will come up.. I kind of find that a hassle though, switching leaders per year sort of makes it disorganized. But T-ara will prevail no matter what so T-ara fighting!

MustardMilk Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 It'll be quite interesting when the silse("Real power" referring to Soyeon taking the charge instead of Eunjung) takes charge. lmao. and I am totally supportive of you, Mr. Kim. As long as you don't decide to take a member out or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aoikage Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I think personally, no bias, People would have been warmer to accepting Soyeon as the new leader.But oh well IVE GOTTEN OVER IT. AND IF I HAVE, YOU SHOULD TOO BECAUSE IM A CRAZY FAN. Can't agree more, I would prefer Soyeon to be the new leader. But from what they say, seems like everybody will be a leader as they rotate the position in 5 more years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyesmiles. Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 As long as they're still t-ara, I'm completely fine. I don't mind Boram being the leader. I think she's cute but I'm not sure about her leadership skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damaididunia Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 because Boram is older tah Eun jung i think and now Eunjung a lot busier than before hopefully they still bright after these changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortie Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Rotating the leader's position is something new, but if all the members agree to it then we have no reason to complain about it and a reason to support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyannie Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 ahhh so it's t-ara's decision overall i guess they do have a point and probably, this way, they could improve their leadership skills for future purposes(?) t-ara fighting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eva31s Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Oh... once a year to change leader's (is weird) but i like ideal so in 6 years time (if no new member) let's see who can be the best leader's..... Yeah !!!! T-ara Fighting !!! i just glad all of them are still in the group Vote Eunjung for last summer she lead T-ara just so awesome !!! The BEST ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
