[14.08.22] T-ara not yet decided on a title song.. Brave Brothers vs. Shinsadong Tiger T-ara has confirmed their comeback to be for September 11th, but they are left in a urgent situation after they decided to reconsider which song to choose as their title track. T-ara are moving forward with their comeback, but the title song is still not confirmed. They are in an emergency before their comeback schedules begin shortly. They received two completely different styles of song as candidates for the title song - one with Brave Brothers and one with Shinsadong Tiger. The Brave Brothers song is a unique dance track full of femininity. It has a fresh and exciting melody, but it comes with sad lyrics. The song could possibly be sexy and revealed exciting and emotional charms of T-ara. These types of songs have success in the long run on the chart. On the other hand, the Shinsadong Tiger song is a little bit more risky. It has a heavy club-based sound followed by a powerful melody. T-ara's best-known song with Shinsadong Tiger is "Roly-Poly" which had a cute concept, but this song has a completely different color to it. Either way, T-ara wants to abandon their cute concept and show a more fierce side of them on stage. Core Contents Media will gather opinions on the two songs before their full-fledged comeback begins in a few weeks. It'll be difficult to decide between either song because more and reportedly very good. An official said, "It's a very unusual situation to be in. We will utilize the reaction to each concepts and carefully review which one will have a better outcome for T-ara." Nonetheless, T-ara will still make their comeback on September 11th! *** Source: http://osen.mt.co.kr/article/G1109935867 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem

Ham Eunjung and Park Hoon Young (Centreal Fitness Center senior T-ara Eunjung whom we're meeting after a long time, something has looked different! Her body got lighter after a 9kg weight loss and the muscles in her collarbones gap have become visible. "It would've been impossible if not for the help of Trainer Park Hoon Young." The two people who spent a hard time together have gotten closer. It seems that the two of you are close? Park Hoon Young: (She) came to exercise without missing a single day. At first, I thought she might be somewhat rough since she's a celebrity, but she rather came approaching me first with a free and easygoing attitude. We got close so naturally that we didn't even notice when did we get so close. You used to have a skinny body before too, but is there a reason why you started losing weight earnestly? Eunjung: As I've been doing activities for a long time, I've felt that my stamina has been drastically decreasing. Hence, I've started exercising, and after that I started to develop the greed to get a slim body like Hyomin's and Jiyeon's. If you were to introduce to us (your) way of losing weight, specifically? Eunjung: I have the body-built where I have lots of muscles in my lower body. And so I worked on my upper body's muscles, and for my lower body, I focused on losing body fat through circuit training and aerobic exercises. Each person has a different muscle-to-fat ratio in his/her lower and upper body, it's important to know what kind of exercise to do based on that. You have to balance between the two in order to build up a beautiful body. Was the circuit training, especially, tiring? Eunjung: It was very tiring doing various solid movements without any rest. However, given that they're movements that are effective for every part of my body, I was able to create the best effects in a short period of time. If you were to tell us one secret to keeping in shape other than exercising and dieting? Eunjung: I really like slimming products. I apply Biotherm Celluli Laser Bikini Code, and already use few of Clarins Body Lift (products). I heard that (T-ara) is having a comeback ahead on September. Eunjung: Yes. That's why I exercise 5 days a week along with the trainer. I'm taking care of my diet closely. I will try to keep in shape while doing all the exercises that I learnt for when I can't go to the training center after we make our comeback. Park Hoon Young: You have to maintain your muscles through exercises that you can do alone like plank, leg raise, hip bridge, etc. I believe that you will do a good job in the future too. *** Translation by: FY!

shinsadong song now and brave brothers 3 months later. i want two comebacks this year.

If I had to choose, I like what Shinsadong Tiger brings to T-ARA. Now that they're going for a more fierce image, I don't feel like Brave Bros. is the way to go. S. Tiger always has the most successful T-ARA songs and his type of dance music feels like a better fit for T-ARA right now. Does this mean Hyomin likes Shinsadong Tiger's song?

After what Brave Bro did to Hyomin and few other artists recently, I would not favor his song for T-ara. Really I cannot imagine how much of a fresh and new song Brave Bro could produce. Just listen to his songs from this past year or two, from Sistar and TeenTop to Hyuna and Speed and AOA and very recently Hyomin: they all sound like some recycled mashed up songs! Brave Bro was the man only back then when he produced BigBang's hits. As for ShiTiger, he's full of surprises, very flexible and versatile in sounds, arrangements, and style. He can be annoyingly catchy like in T-ara's Bo Peep Bo Peep and Roly Poly, but can be dramatic as well in Beast's Fiction. And looking back at his past works for T-ara, I prefer ShiTiger for T-ara's title track. And it's a good call by CCM for not enlisting Duble Sidekick again, at least for now. They've been rising too fast, working too many projects, and now they sound watered down. I'm still holding a grudge for what they did to Jiyeon's solo track.

lol CCM, really?? That's not even a problem! It's not like you aren't going to use the other one for a repackage after this promotion cicle! hm, regarding that said situation, I would certanly go with ST! BraveBros. is nice and stuff, but I want that heavy club song!

[14.08.19] T-ara to stay away from sexy concepts with an authentic EDM comeback song on September 11th! T-ara has confirmed their comeback date and release of a new mini-album to be September 11th! After announcing they were coming back in September, a comeback date of September 11th has been revealed today to OSEN. Up until that point, T-ara has been and will be preparing hard for this new release. T-ara also unveiled through their agency Core Contents Media a new concept picture. The picture is a sporty and sexy chic look that is completely different from their last musical style concept with "Do You Know Me?". But in actuality, T-ara will not comeback with a sexy concept, but rather a stylish and chic/cool concept.They will show a stylish color that is completely different from Hyomin and Jiyeon's solo ventures. T-ara's title song will be a special genre of EDM (Electronic Dance Music) called Big room. Big room is an EDM genre that is centered around minimalist percussion, regular beats, simple melodies and synth-driven breakdowns. Core Contents Media revealed they will also be working with real and authentic EDM musicians. An example of a "Big room" genre song would be Martin Garrix's Animals or Epic by Sandro Silvo & Quintino. They will also showcase a catchy new dance as they have with their retro Roly-Poly dance, Lovey-Dovey shuffle dance, and robotic Sexy Love dance. *** Source: http://www.newsen.com/news_view.php?uid=201408201147322510 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem

^ I was like what's wrong with it?? ... then I saw her shoes........ the rest was okay though. anyways, these photos have their own album now cr.: asiatoday + hankooki + heraldpop + issuedaily + mbn + newsen + reviewstar + sstv + starnews

I agree. No matter how 'risky' ST's song is, based on track record, his is the safer bet. As for the solos, I guess sound-wise, their Love Suggestion and My Sea are more suited to Hyomin and Jiyeon, respectively (with MS reminscent of Rolling, at least for me). But who knows, we might be hit with a fast one (again), like that "poll" which song to promote, BPBP or LTFT. People voted for LTFT but BPBP is promoted. Then again, results matter, so it was a good choice to promote BPBP. Though I speculated/wanted (in TD Roundtable) T-ara to promote a dance track (something a bit outside the cute/sexy) and with Hyomin and Jiyeon seen playing with skateboards and jackets tied to their waists kind of like little hints (or just me overthinking things). To be honest, I really like Number 9, but a dance track is a welcome change. Who am I kidding, though. They'd still look great, I bet. Looking forward to 9/11. PS: whether the date is intentional or coincidental, I don't think it is meant to downplay or mock that event. I've been to the area a few years ago and the rebuilding efforts were ongoing. To me, it was a rebirth, of starting anew. Maybe it is the same for T-ara.

I hate Brave Bros, can't stand most of their stuff. They make popular songs but Shinsadong is better imo and they've had more succes with his stuff in the past. Either way we'll get both songs so it's not much of an issue for me.

Hyomin is gorgeous, but... Who dressed her for this event OMG? Someone fire that guy! GTO = Great Tiger Onitsuka. Holla if u know this reference. XD

can't believe they haven't choose a title track yet when they already did the group photo and other stuff... I mean Hyomin has been constantly hinting us about their comeback even when she was still promoting her solo and they even release their studio photo with Eunjung,Hyomin and Soyeon recording a song. Come on CCM...

I feel like CCM is trying to bring the hype up with this issue To me, they should just come back with both songs, Shinsandong Tiger and Brave Sound. I don't mind both producers as I enjoyed both songs from them. Can't T-ara comeback with two songs like what they did for 'No 9' and 'Because I Know'? Or just come out with another mini-album like with 'DYKM 2014' and 'Hide & Seek'. Or even with what Sistar is doing right now

Definitely Shinsadong Tiger! this 'heavy club-based sound' sounds good to me.

I don't like the make-up and the brushed back hair, but I like Eunjung so yeah, I'll let it slide. She's still perfect.

OMG another T-ara type song, can't wait for it, number 9 was awesome and this song will probably not disappoint. Thank goodness no more sexy concept, not that it was bad but too mainstream in kpop already, something refreshing like number 9 will be the best~~ Qri looks totally awesome with bangs, have been waiting for her to comeback in such a hairstyle for god knows how long.. and yeah that pic really stands out, T-ara's gonna win something this time !

[09.12.02] T-ara's Title Track is 'Like the Beginning' It has been decided that T-ara's title track for their first studio album will be 'Like the Beginning'. However, it is still expected the 'Bo Peep, Bo Peep' will be broadcasted as well in the future. Last month on the 27th, T-ara released their first solo album Absolute First Album and let their fans choose its title track. The results came in on December 2nd. 9,000 people took the survey on music websites like MNet, Melon, and Cyworld and 'Like the Beginning' won with 53% of the population's votes (4,770 people in total). 'Like the Beginning' is a retro dance track created by famous composer Bang Shihyuk. 'Bo Peep, Bo Peep', created by Shin Sadong competed and finished with an intense fight against 'Like the Beginning'. However, T-ara's representative from Core Contents Media said that 'Bo Peep Bo Peep' can be used for side activities. Their representative also said that 'The music, costumes, and cheoreography presented a 180-degree change from T-ara's existing image. Therefore, for other reasons, 'Bo Peep, Bo Peep' will be used as part of the activities as well like in other TV shows.' Along with that statement, their representative added that 'Since the fans have chosen 'Like the Beginning' T-ara will be preparing for their performance well.' T-ara will comeback onstage on December 4th in the Music Bank stage. *** Source: http://www.eto.co.kr/?Code=20091202121307290&ts=144550 Written by: Shim Jaegeol Translated by: Elly@diadem
