[12.07.08] T-ARA's leader Soyeon says “I'm not worried about the new members~” After releasing their newest "Day by Day" T-ARA is stirring up another fever and gaining fans of all ages. Not only are they receiving lots of interest and love from people for their music, but also for their artistic talents and fashion. After coming back from their Japanese promotion, they have been busy preparing for schedules and concerts. Despite this, they have taken some of their time for an interview with bntNews. The leader who showed strong leadership by taking care of her members' stage/photo concepts even though she was busy with her own preparations, ‘Soyeon’: the interview with her was straightforward like her personality. The set was filled with loud music, and cheerfully humming to that music was Soyeon. Since when did she want to be a singer? “I wanted to be a singer since I was 5 years old. My dream grew while watching Sunbae Namjung Park and Sunbae Sookyung Ang. The 5 year old me even begged and cried to my mom that I needed to see Sunbae Namjung Park, so she took me to a live cafe where Namjung Park sang. My memories of that moment are still vivid.” After dreaming of becoming a singer, what is her goal after receiving much love as one? She determinedly responded, “Just like Sunbae Junghwa Um, I want to be a well rounded entertainer who shines brightly on stage and on TV.” “The new members' adaptability? Don't worry about it~” Lately, the internet had been filled with the news about the recruit of T-ARA's newest members. How does she feel about meeting the new members? “They're very beautiful younger sisters. Eigth member ‘Ahreum’ is a 'practiceholic' who practices a lot, so I don't worry about her stage performance. 14-year old maknae ‘Dani’ is a cute little sister who is 12 years younger than me. Actually, I am sorry and feel bad for her. At her age, I am sure Dani wants to perform to fresh and lively music; but because she came in the middle of T-ARA's activities, she has to adjust to T-ARA's concepts and color. That is why I am sorry. I will treat her well.” “Will 14-year old Dani be able to adjust well with her older sisters?“ is one of the many questions netizens are asking about the new member's adaptability. “At first, we were worried too. We have such a huge age gap. And more than anything, we should be able to get to know each other through living together (dorm-life); but don't live with each other anymore. That is why we worried they might feel shy and uncomfortable around us. But because our members have positive and easy-going personalities, we will be able to get along well. I don't worry about it anymore,” she happily expressed about meeting the new maknaes. The charismatic leader with a warm heart is “very smart~” At a “You're very leader-like” article about her, she modestly replied, “No, I'm not” with a smile. At the set, whoever sees her will say she's a leader. Aren't T-ARA able to maintain their positive images and receive lots of love from people because she, who holds both leadership and ability to progress, stands at the center of T-ARA? “Before I became a leader, it was definitely due to the members' efforts. Instead of on the group as a whole, the focus was on each member individually. We thought of our opinions and our futures. But as I became a leader, my consideration and affection for the group grew. My responsibilities increased and I took care of my members more. I think this was a good opportunity for me to grow more.” “The love we received from the fans, we should return the love as well~” T-ARA is known for their special attachment to their fans. The group that also personally requested their agency for free concert tickets for their fanclub members is also T-ARA. “Since I was also someone else's fan, I understand our fans' feelings really well. That is why I feel an attachment towards them. I even scold our fans. If our pure-hearted young fans start to go astray in their actions and behavior, I call them out immediately. I get really upset when I see our fans changing. I understand that they are at that age when they are filled with curiosities, but I scold them with the hope that there won't be any adverse effects wherever our fans are. Since I reach out to them with a sincere heart, our fans receive my scoldings with sincerity as well.” T-ARA is receiving a lot of attention for their recently released Japanese album ‘Jewelry Box.’ Their album took the #2 spot on the Oricon Chart the day Jewelry Box was released, and is still receiving a lot of attention today. Also, on June 3rd, T-ARA held a concert in Thailand and the 7,800 seat tickets were all sold out, dubbing them the new ‘Hallyu-idol’ with a busier schedule than ever before (in T-ARA history). They are receiving much love and strength from international fans as well. As she maintains the Hallyu Wave, she speaks about the ‘Hally-idol’ nickname. “Honestly, we only got to where we are right now and are receiving this much love because of the path that our sunbaes have paved before us. We also received help and support from a lot of people. Every time I see the people who cherish us I feel thankful as well as apologetic. We should be able to show a better us to them, but we weren't able to because of the hectic schedules and time. We will work harder!” T-ARA is busy both domestically and internationally. We look forward to the increasing love T-ARA will receive as they spread their wings over this vast world. *** Source: http://bntnews.hanky...4&mode=sub_view Translated by: x은영이 @ Diadem

Distribution of lines equally is a must in T-ara. Eunjung got only one line and Jiyeon and Hyomin too. They should have distributed some of Hwayoung's rap part to Eunjung and Hyomin and gave some of Ahreum's lines to Jiyeon. Don't misunderstand. I liked how Hwayoung rapped it's just that she has so many rap parts that they could have given to Eunjung and Hyomin to increase their parts.:|:|

Well, of course she had to say as if it doesn't affect her negatively. Idols, particularly female idols, in Kpop are expected to be happy little angels by the media and the public as well as the fans themselves. They do anything slightly that's 'off the radar' then they get hounded mercilessly by netizens. After all, KKS did say that if any of the current members opposed the member addition themselves, they'd be kicked out. This hardly comes as a surprise. There is a reason why she and Eunjung (or was it Hyomin?) played it off cool when asked at the airport prior to the trip to europe. This comes off as a no surprise to me.

Jiyeon welcome back...stay health......thank for be on stage..... Soyeon please take some rest....it like knife stab my heart to see U like this...please..

arrgh soyeon voice....i think she still sick....poor her

[12.07.08] Video HD - T-ara's "Don't Leave" + "Day by Day" comeback stage @ Inkigayo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdCN0jvfGE0&feature=plcp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv1PpqXWrqQ&feature=plcp *** cr : lokyan70/namchn709@yt

I'm impress with the girls especially our leader.She has a really bad sore throat and yet she still want to sing live and wow us although there are few times when she went off-pitched.But hey,at least she gave her best.If she didn't perform with them,Don't Leave would become almost impossible to perform (reminds me of Cry Cry).Seriously,it breaks my heart seeing her like that.T-ara has my respect. And yes,like someone mentioned,Hyomin surprisingly got much fewer lines in both songs compared to Lovey Dovey.Since Soyeon is sick,why can't they give 2-3 lines to Eunjung and Hyomin?I believe they also can carry out the lines pretty well. p/s:LMAO,did KKS forgot that he added 1 more member to the group?He forgot to pack 8 white clothes so unfortunately Eunjung has to wear a black one

Half the members were sick, yet they continued to give their all and managed to give us an awesome performance. The power of our Queens! I guessed the fanchants gave them some encouragement too. And Jiyeon killed me twice with her part in Don't Leave and her stare at the end of Day By Day! Woohoo!

It just shows she cares, T-ara cares about us even more than their health so yep hear that? i know there has been some disturbance amongst the fandom at this current moment, so we should just all get along, and remember We are all supporting the same group of girls . SoYeon daebak!

I did think of "what if i go astray one day" many many times in life when i feel no one appreciates me but after reading one line from Soyeon, I've determined " I will never go astray forever." LOLS..

That means now T-ara all live in their own house?

Oh heyyy look at that. Soyeon is receiving the new members in a nice, friendly manner, not to mention protective [oh who can imagine from what]. Something perhaps some T-ara fans should look into... Yeah yeah Jiyeon lost her maknae position, so what. You do know that it costs less to house nine people in one home/apartment/condo than having multiple, even two places with 4-5 members each? But that's not being cheap, that's to make day-day living easier. Have you ever been in a house with so many people? It becomes a bit of a frenzy.

Queen Sso, drink those vitamins and get well soon. :)

First question was "who's the scariest member when angry?" T-ara members picked Qri, hehe. Then they asked T-ara fans who they think is the scariest member when angry. Hyomin won. (╥_╥) Since she was picked, she had to do a punishment game, where she had to do a sexy pose. I would have picked Qri. She seems to bottle up her emotions a lot. Seeing her snap might be a scary thing. Second question was "who oversleeps/sleeps in the most?" T-ara members picked Eunjung. Last question was "who's the worst at cooking?" T-ara members picked Jiyeon. I hope they do more shows like this. It's hilarious.
