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.”
