[sCANS] Jiyeon For Arena Magazine - Preview (04/21) ***** Credit: Jingdot + Robbe_881 + tiaradiadem.com

The picture of her in lingerie isn't very pleasing... Don't think she needed to take that shot Hope that she's comfortable with it... At least it looks really really professional and classy, bringing out her charms and beauty. Wish that CCM or whoever suggested this would stop doing these unnecessary gimmicks to 'sell' Jiyeon's skin.

I love how people in America try to make a career out of teaching young women how to be the "next top model" by inflating their own egos and instructing others in what to do. Then someone like Jiyeon comes along and is a better model naturally than ANY of the ones on the American shows, even the so-called instructors. Natural beauty and grace win out over ego driven arrogance every time.

[14.04.15] Jiyeon reveals two new sexy pictures from “1MIN1SEC” music video shooting Jiyeon has revealed two new extremely sexy and mysterious concept pictures for her solo debut single “1MIN1SEC”. Jiyeon will reveal at midnight tonight (the 15th) a brand new teaser video for her solo debut “1MIN1SEC”. The teaser will introduce Jiyeon’s music video by giving a few glimpses into it, but it will not be the official music video teaser. Another teaser which will be the music video teaser will be released on the 17th. Jiyeon’s agency Core Contents Media repeated their previous statement and said “T-ara’s Jiyeon” will be “unrecognizable with her new concept.” It will be an intense transformation. *** Source: OSEN Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem

I think people might be overreacting. It's a departure from her "cute" image but there's nothing scandalous happening and "sexy Jiyeon" isn't an entirely new concept. People don't seem to have many problems with "Jiyeon's sexy back" thread either. Fans seem ok with this too: It's certainly nothing on the scale of what Girls' Day, Rainbow or Nine Muses does on a regular basis. What stands out to me is that the media is interested, reviewers glow about the performance, and near everyone is eagerly anticipating Jiyeon's debut which is nothing short of a fantastic thing for Jiyeon, T-ARA and their fans. Edit: From the interview it kinda sounds like she wasn't big on showing skin so that makes me feel bad for her but Jiyeon is strong and has a good attitude.

Totally in agreement with you in how Jiyeon is being portrayed in these pictures. I'm just a little concern on the whole direction in how they promoting Jiyeon's solo debut. Just by looking at the pictures above, the focus seems not to be on Jiyeon but more on her physical assets. Don't get me wrong. I am not against a bit of sexiness in promoting one's image. But the picture of her in that top clearly shows that the focus is not on her but rather is more on her chest. So, are we promoting Jiyeon the KPop star or Jiyeon's body? Executives within CCM really need thread carefully on this whole sexy concept. This whole idea of sexualising Jiyeon's image in order to create hype and excitement may just cheapen her solo effort by creating focus and attention in all the wrong areas. Worse still, invite scorn or backlash from haters. Let's recognise Jiyeon for her talents and skills. More importantly, there is no need for Jiyeon produce titillating pictures just to bring in the crowd. And if some art director says you need then maybe they are focusing on the wrong crowd. Since the debut of T-ara, she has done very well by herself to become one of the more popular members in T-ara without resorting to such means to sell herself. To be fair, this is not Jiyeon's doing. It's the concept that has been decided by the company for her solo debut. I just hope the image goes well with the songs. Hope it all works out well.

Well, i dont like when i first found out she'll be acting with lee jangwoo *i dont like him now* But since FINALLY,, My girls starting to back on screen again,, And its start with Eunjung,, I'm going to fully support her no matter what,, And plus, there's Son Hojoon in the movie so yeah Hope this is a good sign for T-ara,, Hope 2014 is going to be good start for the girls to climb back to their place before the scandal

I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW. I'VE WAITED FOREVER FOR THIS.

oh...my gosh...i really miss her acting.... HWAITING!!!!! i feel like falling from the sky.......... bungee jumping....eowwww..........

Can anyone say DAEBAK?!!!! It is about time! This girl is talented and we finally get to see her again. I'm so glad her very busy schedule has a gap so that she can act again!!!!

Hmm, it does not sound like a horror flick. I'm not familiar with the other movies stated in the news. So will the new film be a rom-com or a drama, or action? Though Jangwoo again, but then, maybe capitalize on their WGM tandem. At least T-ara (Eunjung) has broken away from the horror genre (still wonder why all of their previous movies are horror). If the film won't be a blockbuster, then at least it won't flop. PS: with Jiyeon and Hyomin venturing into solo debuts, Boram appeared in a play, Eunjung to be in a movie, then does this mean we cold expect Qri and Soyeon to have their own solo projects in the future?
