[12.05.24] Beyonce's "Single Ladies" choreographer choreographed T-ara's new song "DAY BY DAY" Beyonce's "Single Ladies" choreographer Jonte Moaning has taken on the choreography for T-ara's new album. In the past, Jonte has choreographed Miss A's "Touch". T-ara will reveal a new song "DAY BY DAY" on July 7th, but before then they will release a dance teaser. T-ara's officials said, "T-ara's dance team YAMA&HOTCHICKS went to New York recently for five days and six nights to learn the choreography of 'DAY BY DAY' with Jonte. After learning, they'll fly back to Korea to organize and teach T-ara the choreography." T-ara will release a teaser video for their new album featuring Jonte on the 24th at 3:00 KST via GomTV. Meanwhile, T-ara will be promoting as eight members for their new album and then later this year become nine. Currently, T-ara is preparing for their concerts in Japan and Thailand as well as their fanclub opening ceremony on July 14th. *** Source: http://osen.mt.co.kr/article/G1109405504 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem

I actually think that they are advantages to the song and the choreography being leaked. I am sure the teaser is an excuse or a cover up for the leaked video since it has really gone viral. Or maybe it's part of KKS's plan after all since he's someone who does promotions in a very cunning way. It's weird when one day they said they are going to reveal the new members to piss fans and then the next day there's a leaked video to please the fans. I personally think that KKS is playing with the fans but since I'm already trapped in the T-ARA fandom, I'll play along. The leaked video certainly creates a lot of hype for their comeback. The song is extremely flawless (for me) and it's different from their previous songs but yet it still sounds like T-ARA. All of their voices blend together perfectly (although I only heard Soyeon, Hyomin, Hwayoung, Eunjung with that high note !!!! and Jiyeon). I was excited for their comeback but that leaked video officially make my excitement peaks that I want them to forget about their Japan promos and make the comeback next month. I won't say that the full choreography is leaked out though. Yes, they dance was leaked but we still have the dynamics of the group to look forward to like how eight of them will move on stage and how they will arrange themselves in their position. To be honest, I love the leaked video. It's just the perfect remedy for my heart which was broken after KKS "stabbed" it with the 14 years old girl news. T-ARA, time to kill all the charts !!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The song is soooo good. Seriously, it gave me chills when I first listened to it. It's amazing. It's original and it really showcases their vocals and there's a lot of good rap parts in it! The choreography is awesome too. I could picture their new concept having a bit of a western theme because of the song. This comeback is going to be awesome!!! Yes it leaked early but it's not in HQ and tbh it just made me sooo much more excited for their comeback, specially after the news of their new member who made me lose all hope in T-ara for a few minutes until I heard the song. Besides, the song is not even in HQ. I would not want to have that on my ipod with all of the stomping feet noises.

... 14 years old is WAY too young... did she even train ?? She's already too young to debut in a normal new group... how could she ever debut in a group that has over 3 years of experience ?? I really don't think she would be able to handle it... And what about the age gap ?? Jiyeon and Hwa are still 18... but the rest of the group is above 20 years old ... They won't really be able to bond with her... since still a kid. What are Boram, Qri and Soyeon gonna do ? They are 10 or 11 years older than this girl... If KKS is thinking of adding younger members and slowly kicking out the older members... i really can't think about it... It would just be best for T-ara to change to another company... We'll just have to wait and see... KKS should really go online and read the fan reactions... cuz it seems like the fans are not really liking his idea... PS : Jiyeon will always be the best Maknae for me ^.^ That would never change XD

See, I really hate this attitude of "people have to get over it". No, they don't have to. Everyone is entitled their own opinions, everyone needs their time to cope with the changes and I don't think people have a right to decide who is a true fan and who isn't. Just because someone is ok with this it doesn't mean the rest must be. I'm not going to hate on the new girls because it's not their fault and they're too young to be dealing with this, but that doesn't mean I'm ok with CCM's decision. This is completely different from when they added BoSoRi and even Hwayoung. The first change was pre-debut and they had to do it because Jsquared left the group. It's normal for rookies to have lineup changes, they're rookies. The second change was made one year after T-ara's debut, when they weren't nearly as popular and established as they are now. It still was unnecessary because they already had two rappers and Hwa can't sing, but the group wasn't a top group like they are at the moment. But even now, there are people who still don't accept her in the group (I mean, if KKS really got rid of a member like he said he might, and that member was Hwayoung, I doubt the outrage would be the same as if they kicked out someone else). She still gets a LOT less screentime than the rest of the members. Roly Poly era was especially bad for her, and it was only recently that she was allowed to shine. But now, T-ara has reached a status in which they are considered one of the top girl groups in Korea, and they were even the second girlgroup behind SNSD in the 2011 Gallup poll. You don't see established groups having totally random lineup changes (Afterschool -who isn't nearly as popular as T-ara- does it but the graduation system is their concept, so it's not random), You won't see 2ne1, SNSD or Big Bang adding new members at this stage, because anyone with common sense can see that you don't change what is already working, especially when you are at the top. It's especially unfair for the current members because they went through A LOT to reach this status. It could be completely understandable if someone was leaving the group and they had to look for a replacement, but in T-ara's case no one is leaving so there's no reason for this lineup change. I think that's what makes people upset. But anyway, even now, I really hope the new members are the omg amazing vocalists the CEO says they are for the sake of the group. They don't need another Hwayoung (in the sense that they don't need yet another member that will be underutilized and pushed back) and more importantly, I really hope this is not a case of "adding people because their English skills only". In any case, I hope the 14-year-old girl is not one of the members. I don't think someone that young has a place in T-ara, it will completely change the way the group is in order to accomodate the youngest member, not to mention that someone that young shouldn't deal with the schedules and level of stress T-ara gets. Besides, they won't be able to do mature or sexy concepts in the future, and lately most T-ara tracks have a mature element to them, not to mention how awkward the group dynamycs will get. Even Cry Cry and Lovey Dovey have guns and clubbing, Really, I hope this works out in the end because I love the current members and they've put way too much into this to achieve success, but I'm not too optimistic :/

Lol whatever CCM... I don't know about others but I'm sick of such news to the point that I can't be bothered anymore. As long as the current 7 members are around, I don't care if u want to add anymore. Hopefully they will be lovely ladies like these 7 girls, then it will be great. If not, I'll just treat them as non-existent. Still gonna love the current 7 regardless of what happens though!

Love this version better. The quality doesn't look cheap like the other one LOL Plus, it's an MV and a BTS making of this MV all in one!!

As long as the music remains catchy and top notch as always, I'm fine. So how will the room sharing in their dorm look like? Just wondering, maybe it will be like this: Room1:Eunjung,Jiyeon,Hyomin Room2:Soyeon, Boram,Qri Room3:Hwayoung, 19yrold, 14yrold.

This is muuuuuuuuuuucchhh better than the other one! Eun Jung ! T-ara !

i just saw it i must say the intro was just whoa. but i think gangkiz choreo was much better or t-ara was just more simpler. but seriously i think t-ara's next song is going to be another hit!!!

omg! T-ara is coming to snatch every girl group's wigs. This song is so Britney Spears 'Femme Fatale Era' & I'm totally loving in >__<'

the song of gangkiz is powerful but the song of t-ara is very deep . . . i love the t-ara more than .

pftt the new member whos 14 years old is frkn ugly man seriously LMFAO

I thought T-ara already also caters to the younger demographic lol. It's not like adding that kid in would make a difference. I mean, what does she got? Basically nothing right now, expect for the fact that she lived in the US for roughly 10 years, minus some years for being a trainee in Korea. As for the fancafe, i think even if they do sign a petition, it would be deleted seeing as how CCM is the one who's managing the fancafe right now. And the tweets for the past 2 days has been rather... depressing in a sort of way. ._.; Hahaa. Same here. I hate the phrase "If you're a true fan of T-ara, you should accept the new members." Screw that. A fan shouldn't adhere to the craziness of the CEO, and accept two totally newbies into an already established and successful group. If the real reason for adding that 14 year old; who's lived in the US for probably less than a decade, was because she has some English speaking skills, i'm going to flip. I mean, Soyeon can probably speak better English than the new girl if she, Soyeon gets some real tutoring And i can already see the headlines in the future, "14 year old idol (because i don't know her name and won't even bother remembering it anyway) in T-ara goes to hospital because of stress and lack of sleep" ...... >_> Well, whatever, those girls better have some awesome and powerful vocals otherwise, they'll never get over the antis/haters that they have right now. (majority are probably the current T-ara's fans) even though it's not really their fault. Redirection of hatred I guess lol

The news of this ninth member really sadden me what a great way to start my day. Isnt she a bit too young?! Since this is not official hopefully it's just a rumor....

As mentioned, is this even official? If it's not official, I don't think this should be posted in "photos" section cause it's seriously giving a stab in my heart. Seriously, 14 years old??? Freaking 14 years old. So they are going to "graduate" the older members and recruit young teenagers as new members. What nonsense is that? It's not about Jiyeon not being the maknae (it disturbes me though) but this is completely out of mind. It's unhealthy !!! And yeah, what's with that 14 years old girl agreeing to all this Sh!t.

if this is true,,, adding a 14 years old member into a popular group is really a joke,,, that kid will get many painful comment,,,

All things considered, if Dani didn't want the hate coming in for her, she could have goddamn refused to be put into T-ara. Why did she even comply? Personal greed got the better of her? Going by her age, she's only a year older than my younger brother. I suspect her age as well as the other member is even a possible ploy in pressuring Boram and Qri out of the group in an effort to lower the age average - something KKS intended with Hwa Young's addition back in 2010 (which obviously wasn't so successful back then). If KKS's claims that the new members' vocals are off the charts are correct, then this could also potentially pressure So Yeon to leave as well, not to mention So Yeon's only a year younger than the two oldest members - and for any So Yeon fan out there, we all know she was the one who actually went up against KKS on TV a couple months back during the Lovey Dovey promotions. This might as well be his way of punishing her to the fullest, unrightfully so. Also, I think we can even say that Ji Yeon's 'matured' in terms of image - this could mean Ji Yeon's outlived her days as being the youngest of the group in KKS's mind, unfortunately. Ji Yeon's also got the largest amount of fans out of all T-ara members and her popularity rivals that of Eun Jung easily - knock her out of her place as maknae of the group, and her fans would probably make a huge fit - as far as I've heard, Ji Yeon also has the largest number of stans of all of T-ara. I cannot even begin to imagine what Boram, Qri and So Yeon's personal reactions would be regarding the new member additions as well as the recent news update of it. At this rate, T-ara will end up becoming like After School. Suffice to say, KKS and CCM in general are deplorable. They should just stick with making duets and solo singers. Idols? Never. Just look how they effed up with 5dolls and Co-Ed. They were miraculously lucky with T-ara and for me, that luck looks like it'll run out sooner or later. The question is how much longer will the current members (especially the original 6) will tolerate KKS's abusive bullsh!t before the bomb explodes, as it had been ticking since March. SuJu's Hangeng ended up with a kidney disease and gastritis as a result of SM not giving him a single day of rest for two years straight - just imagine what T-ara could have, considering they worked without a day of rest for THREE years.

Ok let the hate start. Seriously Jiyeon is THE maknae she is just perfect for that role why adding a child into this she is not experienced I'm sure its because he wants to lower the average age now I'm really worried about Boram & Qri. I would NEVER accept this girl

I can't understand how KKS can do it that to T-ara, 14 years old? she is a baby. When I see the news I was convinced that anybody rumored this, but I see that not... I wait that she won't be in T-ara, how CCM says: "We have decided on the two new members, but it's not a confirmation yet. Depending on how things out, a different member than what is planned now may join." Please, change her. If KKS says that, it is because he knows that the fans wouldn't accept her. A girl of 14 years old could help Soyeon with the main voalist parts? ¬¬ It is a joke right?

wow...i'm seeing a lot of hate comments.... at first, i, too freaked out..but that was long ago..the first announcement about t-ara gonna be 9 member group.... as time passed i got over it.... and i think others should too... maybe good things may happen to this "incident"... we should give them a chance to prove themselves worthy of being in t-ara.... and about jiyeon not being the maknae anymore.... don't freak out jiyeon's die-hard-fans....i'm her die-hard-fan too...i wanna let her be the maknae forever(for me, she's eternal maknae no matter what happens).. but people grow up...there's always gonna be new generation replacing older generation.... that's how life is.. i also understands that the lines given to the members will be a mess... it won't be a surprise if someone will not get any at all..... so, lets just pray and hope for the best that ccm or anyone in charge of the songs will be fair in determining the lines for the girls... so people....give the new members a chance...don't bring their morale down with bashings and stuff...

Caption for photo #2 Hyomin to Jiyeon: "Who is TTOMA?" Caption for photo #4 Hyomin: "Are you telling me that they put TTOMA in my water?!?" Lol, Hyomin . . . You make great caption fun. Amused.

Why don't we give them a chance? They've been receiving too much hate even before they'll debut. Maybe they can help T-ara's vocals (tho I think Eun-So-Min is enough for the group). Let's prove to Kim Kwang Soo that his decision of adding the two members is wrong by supporting 9-ARA! People keep telling that he added the two new members to destroy them... so let's help them! Just the fact that 7-ARA is still complete makes me hold on to 9-ARA. I don't care if people say they're SNSD wanna-bes, but I know in my heart that T-ARA will always be T-ARA. That no matter how many are they in the group, they're still the one that makes me happy. Let's give them a chance! If we still see all the girls smiling even if they had new members with them, why not help them? Let's be happy for a successful T-ARA!

I know it hurts, but I'll accept the fact that T-ARA is going to have 9 members and the fact that they are going to have a FULL 2ND ALBUM !!!! What time is it? It's time for T-ARA to kill all the charts !!!

Lol @scatter_88mil and @cynt29, ok I was just trying to troll around but I admit it's my fault to use the word "original" instead of "current" since u guys are pretty persistent about such things. Chill and peace out! **edit: I've edited my post that sparked all these debate. Have a good day ahead people

Only in your head they are the original 7. You seem to be denying facts here. To be frank, Hwa doesn't even contribute much to the group at all. Her 'rap' lines in Roly Poly are barely tolerable, she got nothing in Cry Cry and in Lovey Dovey, she got more lines at the cost of Eun Jung having little to nothing - and it's no argument that Eun Jung is one of T-ara's more better vocals. Actually, come to think of it, I'd even argue that from Hwa Young's addition and forward, Boram and Qri got awfully little lines and they actually had more pre-Hwa Young addition period. 6-ara is where it's at. T-ara didn't even debut at the time it was 5 members. From your logic, I should be saying SNSD should be called the original 11 and call So Yeon an original SNSD member, even though SNSD didn't even debut at the time.

my jiyeon unni is NOT the maknae anymore!!!!!!!! i hate it!!!!!

the new member is a 3rd year high school? she must be younger than Jiyeonie? but whatever, Jiyeon will always be my maknae forever
