So basically, it's like this. Three of them, Soyeon and the 2 new members are going to stand in the middle and sing during a performance. They won't be dancing. While the other 6 will dance at the back of them. Hwayoung or Hyomin or EunJung will be joining the three of them in front when it comes to rapping. They won't need the boy dancers and the backup dancers because the stage can't accommodate too many of them. This will help CCM to save money on backup dancers !! AHHH, now I get his stupid point.

OMG he’s like literally screaming out loud ‘T-ARA CAN’T SING FOR xxxx! That’s why I’m adding two new talented members’ I CAN’T EVEN! HE SUCH A DOUCHEBAG , how the hell can you manage a group if you don’t have faith in them and their talent? How is that even possible? Did he forget that T-ara got like 3 amazing and strong vocals, Soyeon isn’t the only strong one Mr.! There is Eunjung that you seem to completely take off the hook! Jiyeon & Boram can take off perfectly the soft parts but if you had just challenged their vocals a bit you’d see that they have the potential needed. Hwayoung? She’s one of the fiercest rapper I’ve seen in Kpop AND she’s totally passionate about rap…so why can’t you make them songs that SHOWCASE their talent instead of ALWAYS STICKING TO THE CATCHY? Because it’s the safest choice. Because he just doesn’t have the faith in those girls. I’m so disgusted right now, I FREAKING HATE HIM! He doesn’t deserve those girls nor does he deserve my money! They’re better off without him…clearly

So,I can imagine if they're doing Cry Cry performances,the 2 members will "help" Soyeon to sing her lines while they will "help" Hyomin to sing her lines in Lovey Dovey.To be very honest here,I'm actually glad that the two members are said to have a good singing abilities and not just being the pretty face. From now on,we can expected Soyeon along with the new members to carry most of the songs while Hyomin's job as lead vocalist is reduced to just vocalist while others act as back up dancers and just singing "Yeah","Ahah","Baby",clap-clap,wink-wink and whatever stuffs and nonsense. In a nutshell,the other members,Qri,Boram and Hwayoung who still didn't get enough spotlights until now will be completely forgotten (not by their fans,of course) by KKS and indirectly forced them to quit themselves.Wow,"great" planning,KKS. You should has just enter a battlefield and you'll win for sure,for using dirty tactics....

Speaking of more ballad songs, they should do like solo songs within the albums. I remember some of the earlier BEG albums had Gain or Jea singing by themselves. A 100% Eunjung song would be music gold.

So from this article, i guess the 2 new girls will be older than jiyeon and hwayoung but younger than qri and boram...perhaps. Since ccm says they have outstanding singing abilities, i think many would have high expectations of them to be as good as Soyeon or Hyomin. But CCM you better do something about those line distributions...thats the major problem why ppl say T-ara has weak vocals. Strengthening it with the newer member's amazing vocals but still giving others little to no lines ain't solving anything -.- Ok cool cool real cool, wait till the actual debut then i'll comment. But Dispatch? srsly? lol

lolz regardless who will be added, T-ara's dead with 6 members to me. I don't hate hwayoung, its a neutral feeling towards her existence in T-ara. Just sad that I might never hear Boram's beautiful low pitch voices and EJ's lovely voices in any other songs more than 1 line in the future?? Hyomin's gona survive it, not to mention the mighty Soyeon and fans magnet Jiyeon I bet the one got hurt the most from SOB Kim public humiliation is Qri, who got chosen and debuted under SOB Kim consent who realize Qri's singing ability and have not really trained her. ( i wonder if they have a vocal mentor which they should have).

Honestly I think hwayoung gets quite a few lines, considering she's the rapper. But Qri, boram and jiyeon? And now even eunjung! I hardly get to hear their voices anymore in their latest songs, and I mean like, all of them. Seriously, at this rate, I would rather Tara leave their freaking company and that stupid CEO. Or, even though I really really love Tara as a group, maybe eunjung and jiyeon should just leave. Cos honestly, they don't get to sing much as part of their group, and they can actually get to sing more songs/osts as actresses! (ie Dream High 2, etc)

I believe it's due to these reasons. a. T-ara itself is simply not prepared or too afraid to go up against KKS b. Their contract doesn't expire until some years after c. KKS has blackmailed/threatened them behind the scenes, somehow. But nonetheless, I believe fans should prepare themselves for something really ugly later this year, at least a few months after the second album is released. The girls aren't stupid, that's one thing and their patience with KKS is probably growing incredibly thin. The powder keg has already been lit - the question is WHEN it will explode over KKS's face. I wouldn't be surprised if T-ara filed a lawsuit against him - and no doubt, CCM would lose. Not even SM was able to hold out against lawsuits filed by its own idols - and SM is the most financially powerful of all talent agencies in Korea. If SM can't win a lawsuit, CCM won't last any better. There's a reason why YG gave Big Bang a 2 month break when the group itself tried to run away from him back in 2008/2009. The last thing any agency needs is dealing with a lawsuit.

Aigoo... I still dont accept the fact that T-Ara is having 2 new members on July 2012... But as a Diadem/Citrine/Queen I have to accept it later on... aigoo... But i still Love T-Ara no matter what happens because I am a true fan...

[12.04.06] T-ara donates money towards helping stray animals Girl group T-ara made an effort to help stray animals by donating a small amount of money. T-ara was able to raise funds for stray animals when pretty boys from their SBS E! TV show, "T-ara's Pretty Boys" operated stalls. At T-ara's cafe on March 28th, the pretty boys opened stalls with food from T-ara's cafe's menu and tried their best to serve/sell it. The event happened during shooting and attracted new customers. The small amount of proceeds gathered on that day were promised at the beginning of the program to be donated to help stray animals at the "Animal Freedom Center." The episode will air on the 7th at 11:00. *** Source: http://news.nate.com/view/20120406n06490 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem

[12.04.06] What's the role of the 2 new members of T-ara? Changes that will be made to girl group T-ara have been revealed. The current 7 members will be strengthen by the addition of 2 more members, forming a 9 member girl group. Kim Kwangsoo, T-ara and Core Contents Media's CEO revealed to "DISPATCH' on the 5th that T-ara will have 2 new members and will operate as a 9 member girl group. What's the rationale behind the 9 member T-ara? Kim Kwang Soo revealed that this was a decision so as to help T-ara solidify its position in the music industry. Adding in 2 members who are outstanding in their singing abilities is to help them fulfill their role as singers even better in the future. This is also to bring about a breathe of fresh air into the group, as Lead Vocalist Soyeon usually carries most of the responsibilities in singing when the group is promoting. The 2 new member will help to reduce the burden on Soyeon. Furthermore, with an even stronger vocal line, T-ara will have more choices when it comes to songs in the future. Kim KwangSoo added that "The 2 new members are around the same age as the current members and brought about even more harmony to the current team." and "The new members are good in singing, that's why there are invited to join and help T-ara grow and develop as singers". T-ara also added their 7th member Hwayoung in July 2010 on their initial 6 member foundation. *** Source: http://dispatch.co.k...page=1&idx=9869 Translated by: xxxiang@Diadem As usual my translation might be a bit off but main meaning is there.

Eunjung + Hyomin (lots of love!!) Qri + Jiyeon

thanks for sharing, i did take some photos myself too i'll upload it soon, great concert but too bad they performed only 3 songs =[

T-ara doesn't need more members. What do they mean by 'reduce the burden on Soyeon'?! Even though Soyeon has the best voice (my opinion) and she sings the chorus' most of the time, it doesn't mean that the other members have weak voices. They all have beautiful voices and do not need 2 more people to come along. For example, Eunjung and Hyomin have great vocals too. I really wish they'd keep T-ara as 7 members.

its really hard to me to accept hwayoung and i started to accept her only after cry cry. and now, kks said to add another two members! are you crazy?? some people said, "if you love t-ara, you'll love them even they are 7 or 9" . HAHA! its freaking funny statement. yeah, i love t-ara, i love eunjung, hyomin, jiyeon, boram, soyeon, qri and after long time i take, hwayoung. but, i love them as t-ara, not adding another two and call them t-ara. adding another two members at the peak of t-ara time, is just like bashing them to the deep pit in this industry. now, just wait and see, even i can't see my dearest eunjung unnie role becoming dim and dimmer in t-ara

In another words, none of T-ara's members can sing. Did I translate it right, KKS? It's just because you don't give them any lines. See how Qri can sing in the special performance at the new year concert. Boram can definitely rap. How good Eunjung and Hyomin's singing abilities are. I love all the songs that Jiyeon sang in DH2. And now you say like none of them can't help Soyeon. I really hate you KKS. I will wait to see how your "wonderful" new system work.

No offense but I actually liked Soyeon singing a lot of lines for T-ara songs... I also liked how in the past Eunjung did some singing too. I'm not a fan of them adding two members even though they can sing. I mean why are you reducing Soyeon's singing lines... I think she's doing a wonderful job at the moment. Also, Eunjung has an amazing voice, WHY ARE YOU NOT USING EUNJUNG'S BEAUTIFUL VOICE!!??

instead of adding new members, why don't CCM just use the awesome vocals they already have in T-ara, girls like Jiyeon, Qri, and Boram have hardly any lines whilst Soyeon has most of the lines, as everyone is saying, CCM should just distribute the songs more not add more people

what crap is he talking about....soyeon's burden? eunjung also have a very good voice....i think two is enough rather than having three and wasted eunjung's voice for only a small part or rap part.... the problem of line distribution is also serious... the distribution is already a mess with 7 members and now 9? i seriously pity the girls... i feel that their talents will not be fully developed and wasted....

They should just give more lines to the others, especially eunjung.. Anyone who's listened to the first album will know eunjungs voice is not bad. But she hardly gets any lines now...especially when the rap is given to hwayoung now. same with hyomin (although she probably gets the most lines after soyeon). Just train the other members' vocals and let them develop instead of making them stand around while giving the new members (who btw have not worked in building up t-ara's popularity) all the lines and screen time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZUc_WT6vV4&feature=related

wah its so scary for the other member who didnt get more lines.. i hope boram can always sing with showing her cuteness... but it will be more scarier if the two new members are Duo Davichi....????

Talk about being counter productive. 9 members will create more competitiveness. They seem to have a good thing (teamwork/friendship/chemistry) going on right now. Why jeopardize that? Am relieved none of them are leaving but is it just a matter of time? Just look at that veiled threat. Dear T-ara members, it doesn't matter that you've been slogging your guts out these past 3 years. It doesn't take much to replace you. Love from KKS. Their CEO really has more vaccum than brain matter in between his ears. I sound like a broken record but...the number of members doesn't not equal to success, a stabilized fanbase (sticking with original members) is the key. Just look at Big Bang and SNSD. If he wanted 9 members, he should have made that change when they weren't so popular or during their debut. Making changes when they are almost at their peak is beyond...stupid (for a lack of a better word.) Does any other agencies cause that much "grief/stress/annoyance" to their fanbase?

I'm glad that none of the original members are getting kicked out, but I'm guessing these possible new members are going to be pretty young to lower t-ara's average age, as that was one of kks' main reasons for adding Hwayoung. I just hope our dinosaur still remains the maknae T.T. Also, these girls have been together for nearly 3 years(excluding Hwayoung), perhaps even longer in their trainee days and accepting strangers will be tough. From an outsider's point of view, it looks like Jiyeon and Hwayoung have only gotten really close recently, as Jiyeon has only recently followed Hwayoung back on twitter and they're interacting more on variety shows and in fancams I've seen (from when they rode the subway) I think if the possible new members are already known and close with T-ara (like chanmi and hyoyoung) then accepting them will be a lot easier, for T-ara and the fans. Otherwise these new girls had better be damn talented to fit in with these 7 godesses!
