Interviews, Japanese
T-ara complete a fun Q&A interview with Japanese fashion store DPG!
Last year, T-ara entered into an endorsement deal with the Japanese fashion store DPG! beginning with their F/W 2013 campaign. Now that the S/S 2014 season is here, T-ara have began doing some additional promotions for DPG! including a give-away of the outfits they’re seen wearing in the above screencap at the store and some fun interactions with fans.
Below is a Q&A that T-ara did recently with DPG! using questions from QUEEN’S on Twitter with five questions ranging from fashion/makeup and to their fans! It’s a fun interview that was kindly translated by FY! T-ara at Tumblr.
Nonetheless, check out the cute Q&A interview below and leave your comments to it below! Which answers surprised you?
Q1. What is your point of concern regarding fashion?
Boram: For my upper body, big size~ For my lower body, short pants and skinny pants that fit me.
Qri: Between lovely and rock chic
Soyeon: Mix Match♥ Rather than a loud (fashion), I’d go for what feels classy
Eunjung: So short! since skirts and pants make me embarrassed…kekeke I don’t wear them♡ I also don’t wear lots of colors at once ^v^.
Hyomin: Color match! In common Korean, I like color match! [T/N: she wrote in in English first and then wrote the common Korean word for it again]
Jiyeon: I like pants over skirts. for clothes with bright colors..they feel burdensome
Q2. When doing your makeup, what part will you make your make up point? What is your own make up secret?
Boram: Makeup with emphasis on skin texture and is not thick
Qri: I don’t make my point a certain part, but emphasize on the overall concept. my own secret method → a bold challenge-spirit, rather than the stereotypical makeup, daring to try out (different things) will allow me to find a makeup that suits me faster
Soyeon: I’m the kind to not put any makeup on normal days and just put on some lip tint. For when I have a schedule or a stage I’d make my eyelashes my makeup point!!
Eunjung: There are times when I make my makeup point focused on my lips and times when I make it focused on my eyes but my own secret method would be what makes my skin look clean. I am more careful with skincare! From A to Z!
Hyomin: Lip point! I like focusing my makeup point on the color.
For the other parts, I like them pleasantly plain!
Jiyeon: Eye makeup point. Lip makeup point.

Q3. Out of the gifts fan give you, what were you happy to receive? Out of the things fans did for you, what made you happy?
Boram: Everything other than food♥ Reason (Because I’m trying to have less snacks lately).. When they come to support me wherever I am, when I see them it makes me happy.
Qri: They collect albums, photos, magazines, and whatnot that are not sold in Korea and give them to me as gift, it makes me happy. When I receive fashion magazines and limited editions, that I couldn’t buy, as gifts I get happy. When fans come to us doing the same fashion, hair, and makeup as me, it makes me so thankful and happy. When I spot a fan who looks like me between all the fans, I get surprised, pleased, and it remains in my memory.
Soyeon: Everything, I treasure and keep all fan letters and gifts that fan give me~ ^_^v Even among all that, there are fans who would notice what is related to my interests every now and then and give it to my as a gift, that makes me so surprised and happy.
Eunjung: I like everything~! There are sensible fans who would stop by the DPG store and buy me DPG clothes as a gift, and when the album is out they (buy) it, other than that I am thankful for all the heartfelt gifts! I am thankful and happy for everything they prepare to happily give to us!
Hyomin: A photo-book they made for me containing all my looks during the year! It makes me reminisce over memories so I like it♡
Jiyeon: All fans are memorable and precious so I can not ..just list one^^
Q4. Is there anything you’re into lately? (A hobby, habit, etc)
Boram: A game called “Iron Fist”!!! It’s jjang for relieving stress~~~
Qri: I’ve got addicted to Ice Americano. I drink coffee everyday without missing a single day. However, I don’t drink hot coffee.
Soyeon: I am still interested in fashion items and cosmetics like always, I’m also interested in pet dog supplies since I’m completely into the puppies that I’m raising♥
Eunjung: I’m still into watching dramas and movie as always, but lately I’m into drawing (I can’t do still-life painting.. so I paint according to how I like.) Also, making stone bracelets.
Hyomin: Fusion Cuisine! Exercise!
Q5. If you can switch bodies with another member for a day, who will you want to be?
Boram: (She crossed out “member” and wrote “person” instead) None~♥♥ Because there are so many♥♥
Qri:I wouldn’t switch.
Soyeon: (She crossed out “member” and wrote “person” instead) Since I’ve experienced terrible things that wouldn’t happen again, I just got to live (working) harder as Soyeon♥
Eunjung: Boram! I want to be cute +o+♥!!
Hyomin: Boram unnie? I want to try out the tiny and petite as a doll look!
Jiyeon: Boram unnie~ A small and cute lady..♥
