Official Video at MNet: Cr: MNet @youtube Wow.. I always thought Jiyeon was the most consistent member in T-ara for live performances but that really blew me away. The choreography was great, the atmosphere was awesome, the fan chants perfectly highlighted the chorus, the stage lighting dazzling but most of all Jiyeon really stepped it up. Her face & dancing is so intense is like she is playing a dramatic character and she is doing this all while singing it live! PS: Anyone else thinks with her outfit & 'never ever' dance, Jiyeon looks like a mix between Tomb Raider's Lara Croft & Batgirl?

These wonderful gifs. Never fail to deliver to the hearts of Queen's your time and efforts in fuelling our desire to fanboy/fangirl over our girls

Guys listen to the MR removed version.. I'm so proud of Jiyeon singing live on her historical first solo stage & with that dancing too boot (which she said 'feels like dying if you do it' since it was so tiring...) http://youtu.be/8WPAmiayrgU cr: MR Removed Official Channel [Jiyulnino] @youtube

I was absolutely slayed by this performance! Every time the camera zoomed in on her, she was so fierce and emotive, and her dancing was completely on point. Seeing it performed live makes me like the song even more!

[14.05.17] T-ara in an interview with Sanspo, “We are showing you a different side of us through Gossip Girls” Through T-ara’s Gossip Girls album, we were able to see a brand new side of T-ara. Our six members hold two years and eight months in their hands since their debut in Japan. For a release event, T-ara headed over to Japan. With sparkling smiles, the six members gave a positive interview for Sanspo in relation to the new album. In particular, Jiyeon showed a lovely side of hers by taking off her high heels during the photoshoot and standing barefoot on the floor in order to eliminate the height difference between the members. Q: T-ara will release the long awaited third album Gossip Girls on May 14th, after about 2 years and 8 months since the debut in Japan. Qri: It is almost 3 years since our debut in Japan, frankly speaking I couldn’t believe in it at first. At the same time I’m so glad and I really want to meet the Japanese fans Soyeon: This time Gossip Girls will be different from the two previous albums. Apart from the songs from the singles (Lead the way, La’BooN, Number Nine, etc.), it will contain many new original Japanese songs. It will also contain Japanese version of “Do You Know Me?” which is the latest Korean hit song. We portrayed melodies of house, Latin and American pop in the songs. You will see different side of T-ara! Q: The title Gossip Girls is a bit surprising, what is the album’s concept about? Eunjung: (laughs) This is the image of American celebrities. We did the photoshoot for the CD jacket in an atmosphere of being constant objectives for paparazzi and then we take off our uniform jackets and having a party in a limousine. For the first time the story defined the concept of the photoshoot, so look forward to it. Hyomin: The uniform was inspired by the US TV-series Gossip Girls and it was a bit fancy to wear. Yet still remembering student days and looking younger and happy because of the uniform brings up a fresh mood Q: How was the recording? Jiyeon: As Soyeon unnie has said earlier, this time we introduced new genres into the songs of the album, and the new tempo was a bit difficult (laughs). We’ve been recording one song a day over a period of one week Q: T-ara took a challenge for a trip to Hawaii On Fuji TV’s Sakigake! Music Ranking Eight which was recorded for the Limited Edition ver.A album Boram: The members were competing with each other in different games for a trip to Hawaii! Because we wanted to go to Hawaii we tried very hard to win and it was fun! Q: Who got the trip to Hawaii in the end? Boram: (laughs) Please look forward for the DVD Q: Well then, recommend us songs and tell us about your favorite songs from the album! Boram: I’d recommend the main song Just Now. This song has an American pop theme and it is very bright and positive Qri: I like the song from the single called Lead the way. I really liked it during the recording. I’ve listened to it about 100 times. And I often listen to it nowadays Hyomin: I like Lead the way too. Until now, dances of most of our songs had a briskly feel but this song is a medium tempo ballad and it was a new challenge for us Jiyeon: (In Japanese) I’d recommend Keep On Walking. (In Korean) When you’re in a bad mood and you listen to it, it will cheer you up Q: There is a nostalgic J-pop feel in it, in a way? Hyomin: I’ve been listening to J-pop for a long time and when I’ve heard Lead the way for the first time, I’ve thought that with such an atmosphere this should be a good song Q: Memories～You gave me guidance～ is the image song for the Japanese movie Jinx!!! where Hyomin played the leading role. This song has also been recorded and included on the album? Hyomin: (sings a few lines) Jinx!!! is the movie with me as the lead, and the excitement only doubled with having our song as a theme song (laughs) Q: Tell us your memories of the movie making Hyomin: There are really a lot of memories. During a 3 week period of the movie shooting in Fukuoka, I made Japanese friends for the first time. It took me some to accommodate because I was in Japan for three weeks for the first time. But the people from the staff were very kind and this is the best memory Q: Speaking of Japanese movies, Eunjung also appeared in Dodge GO! GO! as a child actress? Eunjung: (everyone is surprised and a big fuss is going on) That’s embarrassing!　I did not used make-up during the times of junior high school at all! Five Japanese and five Koreans successfully passed the audition and we’ve been practicing dodge-ball with the representative players during the movie shooting. Ah, yet still, I’m very embarrassed!! Q: Double A side LA’BooN has also been included? Eunjung: This is my favorite song. I think this song fits perfectly for the spring drive. The song has Arabian nights motive. Soyeon: I’d recommend “Do You Know Me? (Japanese ver.). This is remake of the song by a famous Korean band Sandpebbles, recorded in 1977. T-ara’sversion of this song is completely new. The song is included in the Japanese album, I think the Japanese fans will like this song; we rerecorded it in the Japanese language anew. Q: In Korea, everyone played a role of a different character on stage as in musical for this song? Soyeon: At first Jiyeon’s and Hyomin’s characters were not set, but during the practice we defined the characters which fitted for each particular member, like during the times of Roly-Poly. Q: The message in the Japanese songs can be heard clearly, did you practice a lot? Jiyeon: (laughs) Really?　We’ve practiced a lot Q: Since the title of the album is Gossip Girls, tell us a bit of gossip? Eunjung: When to go to buy coffee and drinks, I unwillingly get food as well (laughs) Soyeon: Lately, we were invited to attend a famous fashion show in Korea, the members and I went there being sponsored with very expensive clothes. However, we had to return the clothes at the end of the show and it was a bit sad to return there in our everyday clothes Hyomin: My little gossip is that I have two dogs and I buy a lot of clothes for them to wear, but I rarely bath them (laughs) Qri: I really like shoes and I wear expensive shoes, but at the same time I wear very cheap socks for about 500 won (everyone bursts into laughter) Boram: I spend a lot on cosmetics, when we are in Japan I buy a lot of cosmetics, I usually buy three bags. Jiyeon: I’m not such a type who cares a lot about clothes, I can wear what my mom buys me, without saying anything. I like nail art, I’d go to a shop when I wear expensive clothes. Q: Jiyeon and Hyomin will have a solo debut in Korea? Hyomin: (In Japanese) Oh, thank you very much! Jiyeon: (In Japanese) I’ll do my best!! Q: Any message for the Japanese fans in conclusion? Qri: We are very happy that we were able to meet the fans during the promotion of the third album Gossip Girls.. The album will contain a lot of new original Japanese songs, so please listen to it and enjoy T-ara are named after a crown (tiara) for a reason – the Queens of the music industry debuted in Korea in July 2009. After the release of their song Bo Peep Bo Peep, they were heading to the top and with good performances in variety shows and various activities, they continued on to debut in Japan on September 28th, 2011 with Bo Peep Bo Peep. They accomplished a feat straight away by becoming the first foreign artist in history to win the 1st place on the Oricon weekly chart with their debut single. *** Source: Sanspo Translated by: Cheetah @ TiaraDiadem

Read this interpretation: Moving on to the MV, I think depressing themes have already become her bread and butter. She is really able to bring out emotions with her phenomenal facial expressions. This adds on to the mysterious sexiness that the whole song and dance are trying to enunciate. The whole feel of the MV and song are really well complemented with the stop-motion of the home scenes where Jiyeon wakes up to her normal routine. Once again I’m not gonna lie: this song and MV aren’t the best out there, BUT, with the combination of the whole theme and feel to it, it is arguably a top tier standard, in terms of art (music and dance are considered arts anyway). Something interesting to note is that the only thing that remains in ‘colour’ are Jiyeon’s nails and the piece of garment or scarf that she had been weaving the entire MV. The MV tells us the story of this lady that Jiyeon is portraying but does not give us a proper resolution. There can be two interpretations: (1, the most popular interpretation) Jiyeon is haunted by her past relationship and she still pines for the man she loves; as a result, she loses her sanity and ends up in an asylum (the white, faceless figure is supposedly her doctor while the man in black with the umbrella is her past lover). And (2, what I think the MV is really about) Jiyeon is haunted by her past relationship and is unable to let him go. She lost her sanity ages ago as can be seen in the MV where she always wakes up to her routine and continues sewing this garment (she is thinking that they’re still together, JUST LIKE PAINKILLER). There are instances where she realises that she’s insane, and all that she lives in is just a facade (she looks into the mirror and the whole house - her world - decolourises). In the last scene, it is showing her finally realising the reality, the asylum room might just be a metaphor.

Omg, really hope there's a re-upload soon!!! I need to know that my prediction about Mnet's strategy to actually attempt in recovering T-ara's image among the South Koreans... Someone please re-upload somewhere else, thank you!

GUYS THE MV IS OUT FOR JIYEON!

I like G.Na and Hyosung but they're really not doing anything new for them whereas Jiyeon is doing something completely new and is getting a lot more attention than they are before her debut has even started.
