Haha!! I have heard all sorts of stuffs about all the tickets selling in the first minute those kind of stuffs... Haha!! Now I'm worried about Haha!! I have heard all sorts of stuffs about concert tickets getting sold out in the first minute of sales... and im kinda worried about the language the ticketing website is going to be in... which website to buy the tickets will be posted on their fb page too?

It's kinda weird seeing Burger King promoting Jiyeon. She's not eating something BK-ish exactly... Anyways, it's good to see T-ara (especially Jiyeon currently) being represented by famous brands

Look at that slim figure, DAYUM! She really does look like a ballerina now. And hello to my new phone wallpaper.

[TWITTER] Boram's Twitter Update (04/13) "왼쪽:효미닛.큘.백구 /오른쪽팀:할매.1분1초어린이.박쏘쏘 우리팀이 이기고있엇!!!니냐뇨오호♩" [Trans] left: Hyominit. Kyul. Baekgu /Right-side team: grandma. 1MIN1SEC Kid.

lol @ 1Min1Sec kid. XD Here is my guess starting from the lower left hand corner: Jiyeon (boots), Boram (sneakers), Soyeon (open toes), Eunjung (boots), Hyomin (blue jeans), Qri (pink jeans) UPDATE: Qri posted her hologram shoes from the photo on instagram so those are her feet at the right, Jiyeon in Hyomin's Instagram video is wearing the pink Jeans so that's her feet at the bottom, Eunjung is probably next to Jiyeon because Eunjung always stands next to Jiyeon so the other pair of boots must be Hyomin and Boram loves sneakers meaning the open toed shoes would have to be Soyeon. So I was way off.

Exactly. Let's hope this marks the beginning of people realizing the skill and talent that these ladies have. If they have to do it one by one, then so be it! I would love to see Soyeon and Eunjung doing solo releases as well. T ara is that rare occurence wherein a group of individually talented people join together and the result is greater than the sum of the parts. They are an exciting group to watch grow and develop.

Lol, CCM's Japanese office will continue to manage them? Well, that sounds like a pretty bleak future there. That being said, I really doubt that shutting down of the fanclub inevitably means their activities in Japan will indefinitely stop. Still, it wouldn't be surprising for activities in Japan to come to a lower tempo however. The Hallyu Wave is meeting its grinding halt there - and is probably also a concerning matter, as the biggest portion of overseas income for the K-entertainment industry happens to be from Japan. Which would probably explain the sudden rush into China nowadays and CCM is merely following the trend. Just because they're the third most popular Korean girl group in the country doesn't mean it's going to keep them afloat well in the long term. In fact, it's also hit KARA and SNSD as well, both who are much bigger than T-ara is by popularity. http://www.japantoday.com/category/entertainment/view/has-japans-k-pop-bubble-burst-weakening-yen-hits-major-korean-record-label-hard http://www.soompi.com/2012/09/06/k-pop-popularity-in-japan-declining/#.Up7wj8RdW30 That being said, the scandal from last year and declination of Kpop aren't likely the only factors. Furthermore, T-ara becoming the second largest group after SNSD - that was never going to happen. The moment KKS started mouthing off some of the most controversial things to the press regarding the group by calling them lazy, threatening them and putting unnecessary members and the massively increasing amount of work i.e. nonstop promotions since the second half of 2011 right up to the day of the scandal, it was pretty obvious that the group was heading to a celebrity-crash-and-burn scenario. In fact, one may say it was inevitable.

I disagree. T-ara is third most popular Korean girl group in Japan. They're still profitable in Japan, unlike many other Korean artists who debuted there. But I wouldn't be surprised if J-Rock decided not to renew the contract (which was a record-breaking 4.3 million when they signed it) due to Hallyu wave dying and T-ara's scandal. When T-ara signed with J-rock they were on the path to becoming the second biggest girl group in Korea (and Asia) after Girls' Generation, but after the scandal they were knocked down to mid-tier. Still, I think they are profitable in Japan and any agency would be lucky to have them over there. Especially now that their Korean popularity is rising again, and Hyomin was able to headline her own Japanese movie.

Hahaha. love this. Let's just support and hope the best for them

i second this statement

Oooh. Speculation time! I postulate that despite their best efforts, T-ara has not been as profitable in Japan (relatively-speaking) as CCM hoped they would be. Think about it, if the profits from Japan were sky high, they would milk that cash cow with every possible gimmick, year in year out. Taking a long hiatus In this idol-saturated market, could easily mean irrecoverable lost ground unless you're a really big household name. So naturally, T-ara's venturing out to extend and deepen (if possible) their appeal in other markets. China with it's large, youthful population is quite a prize.
