[13.10.15] "This is not our comeback. This is our re-debut with our six original members." The past year was an eventful year for T-ara. Frequent activities, events, and more, but also all kinds of rumors and malicious comments that are countless. After promoting nonstop for four years, it seems like everything they had worked for was lost over the past year. They had a lot of opportunities in their career, but instead they just watched what they had already end. On the 14th, T-ara met in a cafe in Gangnam to discuss this as well as their new comeback album released on the 10th. Despite all of this, T-ara were still smiling and satisfied with the result of their promotions so far. "The response to our new album was better than we expected. We worried and talked about how the public would view us every day. It made us anxious, but we were all united to become better (as a group.)" Despite various times they felt bitter about their controversy, all members admitted they have matured. Instead of promoting with the goal of #1 in mind, T-ara promoted with the thought of rewarding the fans who still believed in them. "We did in a way lose our original intentions. We weren't proud when this event had occurred. It made us realize how important our parents, family, friends and staff members are; and above all, it made us realize how important our members are. T-ara will soon be into their fifth year of promotions since their debut. The members of T-ara have gone through many toxic changes. T-ara answered why they frequently changed their group. "Honestly, it's true of most idol groups. Our agency is full of staff who are experts and know what to do. The process (of changing members) helped us show better sides of us." T-ara has gone back to year one. Their goal is simple. T-ara want to be loved every moment they can and do their best without regrets. They want to go back as soon as possible to the place they used to hold in their fan's hearts. "We think about how the past year was really difficult, but we were able to learn. It was a necessary time for T-ara." Going to the broadcast station, meeting fans, and reading online articles.. they will keep this thought in mind. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow. "We will never lose the thoughts of beginners. We returned with our original six members with our hearts set as rookies. It's not a comeback. We feel like it's out debut again. T-ara will continue to work re~aally hard in the future." *** Source: http://news.nate.com/view/20131015n04054 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem

[13.10.15] T-ara, "Areum is preparing diligently every day for her solo debut" In July it was revealed that Areum will leave T-ara. On the 14th, T-ara spoke to TV Report and said, "Areum is preparing for her solo debut." They spoke about their youngest member by saying, "She will always be our friend, and she has a lot of ambition (to be successful). She is probably still practicing in the practice room right now. She is doing very well." Areum revealed when she left she will work hard to become a soloist and show a new appearance to the public. T-ara are currently promoting as six members. They released double title tracks, "Number Nine" and "I Know The Feeling", on the 10th. *** Source: http://news.nate.com/view/20131015n13811 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem

[13.10.15] T-ara: "Our American advancement became a problem because of too much hype" Girl group T-ara opened up about their American expansion controversy. On the 14th, T-ara met in Gangnam for an interview at a cafe to discuss their comeback and more. Regarding their American advancement, they said, "T-ara N4's entry into America was misleading because the information was exaggerated." T-ara's unit T-ara N4 (Hyomin, Areum, Eunjung, Jiyeon) announced their a press conference in May that they received a love call from Chris Brown to enter the American market. In America, T-ara showed up on stage at a pool party, and the controversial performance affected T-ara's image once again. Eunjung said, "We learned through articles that we'd be going to the Untied States. Suddenly, we quickly were preparing for the United States! We saw the place where we would be performing with Chris Brown and it was a party-type of place that we first thought would be contemptible." Following, "We didn't like the feeling we had while performing on stage with the others just standing beside us. Despite this, we're still proud that we were able to perform on stage in a prestigious place like the United States." Eunjung then said that "The United States advancement had too many expectations and hype surrounded around it, so it created a bigger problem in the end. Our company was expecting a record label contract and at the time saw a company offer us something good, so things didn't work out as we all thought (?)" Meanwhile, T-ara are currently promoting as six with "Number Nine" and "I Know The Feeling". *** Source: http://news.nate.com/view/20131015n03906 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem

[iG] Hyomin's Instagram Update (10/15) "덕분에 넘버나인 첫번째주 무대 무사히 잘 마칠수 있었어요♡ 응원하러 와주신분들 감사해용!!" http://instagram.com/p/fe2xknPKrR/ HISTORY MEMORY. 인증은 이렇게?? 다같이 해봐요~!!! ***** Credit: Hyomin's instagram + Robbe_881 + tiaradiadem.com

Yes I have been waiting for this~ The teaser looked awesome with all the nice clothes and Mongolian scenery~ +never too many T-ara music videos~ can't wait

Call it a re-debut or comeback, it's definitely great to see the girls back in their local kpop scene with a great album. I really hope people can just move on and stop associating T-ara with the whole bullying saga. For all their talents and hard work that they've put in, they don't deserve to be remembered as that group with the bullying incident. They need to be remembered as a group that was and still is a real force in the kpop world for their fun and catchy music. And the many titles and awards that they have gotten throughout their career are a true testament to their talents and popularity. All these talk about the past and sympathy for the girls is most unfair. There is more to T-ara than these issues. No doubt, the whole bullying incident was most unfortunate but that doesn't diminish the fact that T-ara is still a very talented group. And that should be the focus of everyone. It should be about the music above all else. Let's hope that their 're-debut' would also mean seeing T-ara back in their element with their fun and catchy songs.

Well, maybe this is the answer to your question: "Despite various times they felt bitter about their controversy, all members admitted they have matured. Instead of promoting with the goal of #1 in mind, T-ara promoted with the thought of rewarding the fans who still believed in them." Credit: Nath So, just be happy cause we know they loves us all...

I'm glad to hear this! It's good to see that in the wake of Areum's departure that she is supportive of her old bandmates as they are of her. Ever since she left, she's been posting regularly on Instagram but there was no indicator that she was working on any new music though I suppose contractual obligations would prohibit her from talking about the back end details of her comeback. CR: Gif by Cpt Fantasy (CF) I liked Areum as part of T-ARA and was sorry to see her go but I'm anxious to see what she does as a solo artist. She has a beautiful voice, she can dance, she can rap and she has a good attitude. I predict she is going to have a successful career. 이아름 파이팅!

that's why they r our Queen forever... their mindset r always pure and clean... this article make my tears fall... hug meeeeee pleaseeeee,......

Awww T-ara is always so sweet, they deserve all the best, all the love from fans around the world. Everything they do is always for the fans and the public, who doesn't love these sweet & talented girls? Let's keep supporting & loving T-ara whether they are a senior group or rookie group, they deserve it all . T-ara hwaiting! Hahm Eunjung! Lee Qri! Jeon Boram! Park Soyeon! Park Hyomin! Park Jiyeon! Go go go . Will support & love you girls Again & Again ^___^. Number hwaiting!!!

Hi QUEEN'S! I hope you are enjoying T-ara's first comeback in Korea in over a year and with their old line-up. It's an exciting time not only for QUEEN'S, but for Diadem members too (I hope you are liking the first days of DiademTV and T-error Adventures if you've tried it!) We have a lot of stuff we want to introduce to our members to bring our fandom closer and make supporting T-ara even more fun than it already is. Are you following Diadem on Instagram yet? If you aren't I won't say anything mean this time because you aren't missing out on that much yet.. but you will soon be missing out on a lot! We are going to be working hard on transforming our Instagram into a place for uniting QUEEN'S to meet other QUEEN'S and become inspired. Do you want to be featured on Diadem's Instagram? Do you have a special talent in art - drawing or Photoshop, GIFs? Do you have an amazing T-ara collection? Are you able to perform T-ara's songs - dancing, singing, or maybe on piano? Or maybe you can remix them? Or maybe you don't have any of these, but you have to have a favorite T-ara picture or video at the very least! Now is the best time to share your talents, your collections, or your taste in T-ara's pictures! Every week, we are going to feature one person's picture/video that they share on Instagram on our own Diadem account. It could be anything listed above, but it doesn't have to be just one of those. You can also post as many pictures as you want on your Instagram, but there's two conditions you have to follow if you want to be featured. How do I get featured on Diadem's page? There are only two very simple conditions you have to follow to be featured! Number one is you must be following @diademforums on Instagram. Number two is you must use the #HASHTAG that we vote on! Number nine is.. JK! Condition number two is unclear right now, but I can tell you that you must tag your posts on Instagram with a specific #hashtag so that Diadem's staff can see your post. We will announce the hashtag once we decide on one.. but we haven't decided on a hashtag yet! We wanted to choose a really good and creative one, so we want QUEEN'S to leave your suggestion in the comment for the best hashtag to use for tagging T-ara pictures. You can post your suggestion for the hashtag in the comments, and on October 18th, we will open a vote to vote for the best hashtag to use. Do you want to meet other QUEEN'S? Yeah, I'm sure you met a lot of QUEEN's through Diadem already or through Twitter, but what about QUEEN'S who share the same bias as you? Or interests as you besides just loving T-ara? Or who are from the same country as you? OMG again now you have a chance! Being the #1 international source for T-ara and QUEEN'S, we want to unite and connect QUEEN'S across the world together and we hope this will help us make a step to accomplish that. Every Wednesday on our Instagram, we are going to post a simple question that you can reply to that will hopefully help you find other QUEEN'S you have stuff in common with. Just a quick example, we could ask "Who is your bias?" and then you could find other Jiyeon-biases or Qri-biases. Are there restrictions for pictures/videos in order to be featured on Diadem's page? Nope, not really any restrictions at all. Just make sure your pictures are appropriate. You can post a picture/video of one member, or two, or all. You can post basically anything T-ara related and you can have a chance to be featured. You might wonder how we will re-post an Instagram video on our page, but don't worry about that We have our ways... Suggestions for our Instagram We want to update our Instagram just as much as our website and our Twitter and our Facebook.. but Instagram is different from those websites! Our Instagram is still Diadem, but we want to post different things besides just updates and news on it. So we want your suggestions on what we should post on it! We are trying to do Throwback Thursdays (Thursdays) and featuring a QUEEN's post once a week (day undecided) and a question game for QUEEN's to meet other QUEEN's (Wednesdays)... but what else can we do? As well as your suggestion for the #hashtag, please leave your suggestion for what Diadem should post on our Instagram! I hope you're as excited for this as I am because I know it'll be a lot of fun! Please leave comments if you have any questions. Actually, please just comment a lot on this topic. And you better leave some suggestions like I mentioned earlier

[13.10.13] T-ara surprise fans outside Inkigayo with snacks T-ara surprised over 300 fans waiting for them outside of Inkigayo. In order to thank the fans who arrived early in the morning to attend the SBS "Inkigayo" pre-recording, T-ara treated over 300 of their fans to ricecakes and fishcakes and other snacks as a gift. T-ara members bought the gifts with their own money and arranged the surprise themselves. They were with fans from around 7 AM to 8:30 AM before going to rehearsals. T-ara said, "Up until now, we have received a lot (from fans). We wanted to do something, despite small, to show our gratitude towards our fans. T-ara's fans, and other singer's as well, struggle by getting up early in the morning just to see a short performance, so we want them to eat comfortably today." They finished by saying, "We can't be singers without our fans, so we don't forget to thank them. We will work hard on stage for them."

[13.10.11] Hwang Jungeum sends a message to T-ara, "You have suffered a lot, but be happy now" Hwang Jungeum left a message of support for T-ara. On the 11th through her blog account, Hwang Jungeum posted, "Pretty T-ara dongsaengs album came out! I can see their maturity. Their hearts suffered a lot, but now, promote happily and prettily." She also included a picture of their new album. T-ara's image has transformed from their traditional image into a sexy image. They exposed their smooth legs and dark makeup - a sexy charm. T-ara's mini album "Again" has double title tracks, both which have appeal as emotional songs with compelling lyrics. Hwang Jungeum is currently in the KBS2 drama "Secret" and her words of support for T-ara have caught attention. *** Source: http://news.nate.com/view/20131011n14450 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem

[13.10.08] T-ara's Eunjung revealed to have participated in the arrangement of "I Know The Feeling" T-ara's Eunjung helped in the arrangement of their song "I Know The Feeling". On the 8th, Core Contents Media said, "T-ara's title track 'I Know The Feeling' was composed by Baek Deoksang. The acoustic music arrangement was done in collaborative by himself and T-ara's own member Eunjung after she expressed her wants to participate in it." Eunjung said, "For the first time, I've helped participate in making T-ara's music. I had fun and learned with a open-heart and carefully prepared for it with QUEEN's in mind and am excited for them to hear it." She also said, "The acoustic guitar melody shows off a different side of us (T-ara) and is a good song for autumn. I hope fans will like both 'Number Nine' and 'I Know The Feeling'." "I Know The Feeling" has a sad and addictive melody, with lyrics that maximize the emotions of the song. It was composed by Baek Deoksang and co-written by Baek Hyunjung. T-ara's eighth mini-album "AGAIN" will be released on the 10th, and their two-part music videos will be released on the same day. *** Source: http://news.nate.com/view/20131008n11275 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem

the problem wasnt hype. the problem was you associated with a low life like chris brown.

As expected from you, you really have way with words Jungiee. Not to mention, you are really genuine and honest.. PS: That Picture is priceless...

What possibly isnt this gal capable of doing? She can rap, act, sing, MC and now narrate as well.. Another plus point why she is Too-Good-To-Human... Looking forward to it Jungiee

can not speak anything else after reading this TT noona do not worry, all the queens we will always support you whatever it's going to happen, really ... do not give up keep working to any time, T-ara can do it all keep fighting noona, T-ara fighting!!!

this is what happens when they connect themselves with the environment that is Chris Brown and those kind of people. THX to CCM for that. American hip hop look only suited Areum. I am really glad they are back in Korea and on stage again. Europe seems to be T-ara's Style more considering they have been there + on vacation.

-- the girls are always not informed of such important announcements .. and if they are informed, it's mostly because they had read it on an article or something similar. KKS/CCM doesn't seem to care if they properly inform their artists or not. They really should value them much more since they're the ones making the money roll into the company. ( =~=)

YAY!!! Omg Im so happy!! Does this mean theyre gonna act in this MV? I love every MV they have because they act their part so well (They know how to express every concept theyve done so well!) Im so happy that theyre getting so much good attention! And I most definitely cant wait for the second MV! <3 T ARA JJANG!

It's so nice of her. She is a good person indeed. This kinda support really will cheered up the girls.
