I think the biggest question about the two new members would be is what can they contribute to the group that the others haven't. I mean yes ahreum is a good singer but from what ive listened the high notes part that was given to her, eunjung can do it. Its not that i'm dissing her or anything just that i guess expectations are a bit high because off the way she joined t-ara

Mind helping me click the link below? it'll mean alot to me... thanks ^^ Click Please! ^^

Like I said .. I'll reserved my comments for her later. She should get less nervous on stage though. She's doing okay already. Denying your CEO's request would mean losing your future. So I feel that she had no choice in her decision. But after this, she'd have to do her best and lots more to live up to her expectation. So please do it for T-ara ! Fighting !!! I'll be supporting her a little bit then.

In conclusion, T-ara is just unlucky to be in CCM.

come on guys...singing parts are not decided by members...even if areum is not in t-ara, it does not means qri or boram gets more. now that she is officially a member of t-ara, her priority in everyday life must be t-ara 1st. If she can give up much in life to work hard for t-ara she should be fine..same for dani. And for the recent releases i sincerely feel lines has been distrubuted more fairly...not being biased. Qri and Boram both had significant lines and they did great. Just have to see the growth in T-ara with the new members down the mths to actually judge if anyone is suitable or not.

I dont know if my post would be warned or not but still wanna say. I've try my best but cannot welcome her If the one who made this interview join our fandom he would see how messy we are now.

If you don't want to damage T-ara then gtfo T-ara The fact that she can easily join the official fanclub ceremony that T-ara works so hard for to get really angers me.

[12.07.14] T-ara's new member Areum, "I felt burdened and didn't want to damage the group by joining" T-ara's new member Areum has been catching the attention of the public recently. T-ara grabbed viewers' attention with their emotional stage on the 13th at KBS2 "Music Bank" and performed their new song "Day by Day". T-ara came back one week ago, but they already launched into third place on their first entry on the charts. Among the existing members was an eye-catching eighth member Areum who brought a soft and fresh voice to T-ara. T-ara's new member Areum met with reporters after successfully debuting with T-ara and said, "It doesn't feel real yet to me. I remember seeing them on TV and didn't know if I could blend in with them, but I'm very grateful that I had such good fortune." "Now that the first stage is over, I feel much more relaxed," she said. "In the beginning, it was difficult wearing heels but I continued to practice hard and then improved a lot in order to perform on stage." Bringing a new member into a group has the possibility or being a success or failure, so it's a high risk. It's the case for any "new recruit" members. Because of the group's already established name, the members can get popularity faster. However, after the group adjustment, there can pressure and burdens put on the group if they don't help contribute to a growing popularity and the pressure will be a challenge for the group. Areum said, "There was a big burden on me in fact. I thought that because T-ara is already a highly successful group, I was worried that maybe I could damage that. However, after debuting I felt like 'My unnies really do have a lot of experience.' I think I will be good if I simply just follow along with them." The part-time maknae Areum. The decision was made recently that a younger ninth member name Dani will join in October. The comparison between the two new members will be inevitable. When asked about this Areum said, "I don't pay attention to what's written about me. Me and Dani are two different people with different charms. Like Suzy, I want to be a representative from the '94 line in both acting and singing. Like a onion shedding it's layers, I want to show my charms one by one." *** Source: http://m.eto.co.kr/news/view.asp?Code=20120714150112207&tid=&sid= Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem

[12.07.13] T-ara's Hwayoung, “I want to be the queen of romantic comedies like Kim Sunhwa” As water flows from a faucet, idols have been 'flowing' from the TV whenever it's turned on. Lately, having more than five members in a group is the majority, just as much as remembering every idol's names is a given. In the idol world, member changes are as frequent as the total number of the many idols. T-ARA has recently been receiving a lot of attention after announcing that they will be adding two new members to the group. Lately, there have been much controversy surrounding the new members', who have not debuted yet, ability to adjust. bntnews was able to meet the latest addition to T-ARA: ‘Hwayoung’. I want to be a warm/kind older sister to the younger ones~ I asked her if there was a way to adjust well as T-ARA as a new member. “Actually, T-ARA has been recreating existing styles, so it can be a bit hard. The public seems to be worried about adjusting and getting along with the members, but I am not worried about that. They treat me really well, like a biological older sister would. And that's why I was able to adjust well. When the new younger sisters come, I want to hold their hands warmly and support them. That's why I am constantly keeping in touch with them – we are in the process of growing closer.” Hwayoung wants to be a warm and caring older sister to the newest members. Is it because she'll soon give up her maknae (T/N: in the case of being the newest member, not the youngest) position to them? You can see a more mature girl in her than when she first debuted. I asked if there is an area/field she wants to take challenge in. “I want to act. Especially in a comedy! I really want to try taking on a character like sunbae Hwang Jungeum's in Highkick through the Roof. I have a unique and unpredictable side to me more than you think, so I think I can act that part naturally well. And like sunbae Kim Sunha, I want to take on a romantic comedy part. There are some roles only sunbae Kim Suna can pull off. I want to become someone like that.” Are you curious about Hwayoung? She who dreams of becoming a multi-talented entertainer. I asked her about her favorite genre as a singer. “I like hip-hop. I actually didn't really know much about hip-hop; but after debuting and learning about it, I started to love it. I especially like ‘Nicki Minaj’'s music.” Can we expect to hear some hip-hop music from T-ARA? “Hip-hop music is my own personal taste, so I'm not sure if it'll match T-ARA's style and color. We usually make exciting music like retro style and club music. But I do want to take on hip-hop music one day.” Unlike the other T-ARA members, who come out in entertainment shows and dramas, Hwayoung is rarely seen in the media. I was curious about Hwayoung as an individual, not as a member of T-ARA. What is her ideal type? “Rather than the typical handsome guy, I like a warm-hearted guy with no double eyelids. Rather than a pin-up (good looking) guy, I prefer a guy with a personality. And I like a guy who works diligently and knows how to keep one's private and public life separate.” For someone whose ideal is a person who knows how to keep his private and personal life separate, I asked what Hwayoung thought of having a celebrity boyfriend. “Honestly, I'm curious. I think I'll like having a celebrity boyfriend because since we are both celebrities and have similar lifestyles, I think we'll be able to understand each other well. I wonder how it'll be.” She boasts a milky complexion without a single blemish. What are her skincare secrets? “I don't take time out to get pampered at a skincare shop. My mom personally makes my own natural skincare products that matches specifically to my skin. And I put on the necessary skin lotion according to my skin condition each day.” T-ARA no longer live in dorms together. Hwayoung brought her parents to live with her in Seoul. Thankfully, she's been able to eat her ‘mom's homemade health foods’, so she's really happy. “When I lived in dorms, it was really hard to resist the temptations of late-night snacking every night. In the end, giving up to these temptations became frequent. But since I live at home (with my parents) now, I have better control over them. More than anything, I'm the type to gain weight easily so late-night snacking is forbidden.” For a girl who says she gains weight easily, it seemed like she didn't need to diet at all. I wondered whether she had her own secrets to maintaining her body, so I asked. “I really gain weight easily. So I eat between noon and 6 PM, then stay away from food after 6. I always eat half a bowl of rice at a time, too.” I will try harder to become a hallyu-idol~ T-ARA recently released their first Japanese album ‘Jewelry Box’ and are promoting their Japan Tour Concert right now. Jewelry Box reached #2 on the Oricon Chart the day it was released, which shows how popular the album currently is. “I'm so surprised and thankful for all the love and support we've been receiving. I didn't expect this at all. I will not lose sight of my original resolutions and work even harder. And that's also our share of duty, right?” Lastly, I also requested a message for the fans in Korea waiting eagerly for T-ARA's comeback. “I still have many faults and a long way to go before reaching perfection, but I'm really thankful for all the love I've received because I'm part of T-ARA. I will work even harder to show my very best. It's the least I can do to reciprocate the love I've received.” She was especially bright and cheerful when talking about the fans. She knows how to love as much as she's been loved. With that, there is no doubt she will become a warm-hearted older sister to the new members. Look forward to T-ARA Hwayoung's future. *** Source: http://bntnews.hanky...4&mode=sub_view Translated by: x은영이 @ Diadem

[12.07.08] T-ARA's leader Soyeon says “I'm not worried about the new members~” After releasing their newest "Day by Day" T-ARA is stirring up another fever and gaining fans of all ages. Not only are they receiving lots of interest and love from people for their music, but also for their artistic talents and fashion. After coming back from their Japanese promotion, they have been busy preparing for schedules and concerts. Despite this, they have taken some of their time for an interview with bntNews. The leader who showed strong leadership by taking care of her members' stage/photo concepts even though she was busy with her own preparations, ‘Soyeon’: the interview with her was straightforward like her personality. The set was filled with loud music, and cheerfully humming to that music was Soyeon. Since when did she want to be a singer? “I wanted to be a singer since I was 5 years old. My dream grew while watching Sunbae Namjung Park and Sunbae Sookyung Ang. The 5 year old me even begged and cried to my mom that I needed to see Sunbae Namjung Park, so she took me to a live cafe where Namjung Park sang. My memories of that moment are still vivid.” After dreaming of becoming a singer, what is her goal after receiving much love as one? She determinedly responded, “Just like Sunbae Junghwa Um, I want to be a well rounded entertainer who shines brightly on stage and on TV.” “The new members' adaptability? Don't worry about it~” Lately, the internet had been filled with the news about the recruit of T-ARA's newest members. How does she feel about meeting the new members? “They're very beautiful younger sisters. Eigth member ‘Ahreum’ is a 'practiceholic' who practices a lot, so I don't worry about her stage performance. 14-year old maknae ‘Dani’ is a cute little sister who is 12 years younger than me. Actually, I am sorry and feel bad for her. At her age, I am sure Dani wants to perform to fresh and lively music; but because she came in the middle of T-ARA's activities, she has to adjust to T-ARA's concepts and color. That is why I am sorry. I will treat her well.” “Will 14-year old Dani be able to adjust well with her older sisters?“ is one of the many questions netizens are asking about the new member's adaptability. “At first, we were worried too. We have such a huge age gap. And more than anything, we should be able to get to know each other through living together (dorm-life); but don't live with each other anymore. That is why we worried they might feel shy and uncomfortable around us. But because our members have positive and easy-going personalities, we will be able to get along well. I don't worry about it anymore,” she happily expressed about meeting the new maknaes. The charismatic leader with a warm heart is “very smart~” At a “You're very leader-like” article about her, she modestly replied, “No, I'm not” with a smile. At the set, whoever sees her will say she's a leader. Aren't T-ARA able to maintain their positive images and receive lots of love from people because she, who holds both leadership and ability to progress, stands at the center of T-ARA? “Before I became a leader, it was definitely due to the members' efforts. Instead of on the group as a whole, the focus was on each member individually. We thought of our opinions and our futures. But as I became a leader, my consideration and affection for the group grew. My responsibilities increased and I took care of my members more. I think this was a good opportunity for me to grow more.” “The love we received from the fans, we should return the love as well~” T-ARA is known for their special attachment to their fans. The group that also personally requested their agency for free concert tickets for their fanclub members is also T-ARA. “Since I was also someone else's fan, I understand our fans' feelings really well. That is why I feel an attachment towards them. I even scold our fans. If our pure-hearted young fans start to go astray in their actions and behavior, I call them out immediately. I get really upset when I see our fans changing. I understand that they are at that age when they are filled with curiosities, but I scold them with the hope that there won't be any adverse effects wherever our fans are. Since I reach out to them with a sincere heart, our fans receive my scoldings with sincerity as well.” T-ARA is receiving a lot of attention for their recently released Japanese album ‘Jewelry Box.’ Their album took the #2 spot on the Oricon Chart the day Jewelry Box was released, and is still receiving a lot of attention today. Also, on June 3rd, T-ARA held a concert in Thailand and the 7,800 seat tickets were all sold out, dubbing them the new ‘Hallyu-idol’ with a busier schedule than ever before (in T-ARA history). They are receiving much love and strength from international fans as well. As she maintains the Hallyu Wave, she speaks about the ‘Hally-idol’ nickname. “Honestly, we only got to where we are right now and are receiving this much love because of the path that our sunbaes have paved before us. We also received help and support from a lot of people. Every time I see the people who cherish us I feel thankful as well as apologetic. We should be able to show a better us to them, but we weren't able to because of the hectic schedules and time. We will work harder!” T-ARA is busy both domestically and internationally. We look forward to the increasing love T-ARA will receive as they spread their wings over this vast world. *** Source: http://bntnews.hanky...4&mode=sub_view Translated by: x은영이 @ Diadem

7-ara's Maknae (jiyeon and hwayoung) have a great time together here... (always laughing,hugging and hi-5) nice to see them happy not stress....

Not going to say it again in detail but here's my piece of advice/message to Areum: Don't drop the soap and be thankful that you're not dorming with the original six members because if you do, chances of trouble occurring are very, very likely - that I'm fully sure of. You've got one hell of a bumpy ride and potentially, a very bad disaster down the path waiting to happen anytime since T-ara faces the chance of crashing into a brick wall like JYJ and KARA more than other groups out there - and is at severely intense competition with 2NE1 and SISTAR as well as Suju. The timing couldn't get any worse. If you're gonna get accepted by both the majority of the fans and the T-ara members themselves, learn your place in the group and don't screw things up even worse than they are. I'm pretty sure everyone out there knows that shoddy company you're in is seen in a negative light even more than SM is.

These are seriously too epic! How I wish I could've been there... Hwa butt dance with Ji and Areum! HAHAHAHAHAHAH! And Minnie crying... And Tom and Jerry couple. And MinYeon looked like they almost kissed. :) I WANNA BE THERE!

As of now, I really can't help it but not feel happy about her joining T-ara. Yes people, I know that we should accept it. But maybe you should put yourself in 7-ara's members shoes. Eunjung was pretty uncomfortable about it. This is because they've worked together for 3 years already. By adding a new member into their group changes pretty a lot of things. Well Ah Reum, since you're officially in the group and I will still support T-ara with all my heart.

Looking at how Eunjung and Hwayoung accepted Areum with an open heart in Star Life (I don't know whether they are acting or not), it kinda more or less help me to accept her. If Jiyeon starts hugging and fooling around with her, I'll totally accept her. I don't hate her and for me she's doing fine considering this is her debut stage. As mentioned by others, my problem with her is she serves nothing new to the table and she's still an unnecessary addition to the group. Yeah, I know it's still a bit early to say this so I hope she proves me wrong. Maybe she should pick up some song writing or song composing skills or learn how to speak Japanese fluently to actually make her stand out and at least provide some assistance to the group. I'm just sad that she entered the group so easily. I know the pressure is on her too so I'm not going to spread any hate.

Go ahreum!! just ignore all the pathetic comments from ridiculous people out there. Do your best!! Keep on fighting!!

[12.07.13] Video HD - T-ara "Day by Day" comeback stage @ Music Bank http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcQALxrzJ70&hd=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOQLMyRjfeg&feature=plcp *** cr : namchn709@yt

i know she worked hard and all but i still could not accept her ,u know, she came in t-ara and stole many parts which could have been given to Qri or Boram or EUNJUNG - yup, lovely lady Eunjung, she gets now like 6 repeated lines in day by day and a bit rap in don't leave, she did not even get a proper line in cry cry, =.=, Areum just enjoy the fame and everything the other members worked so hard for, so yeah, i still do not like her yet, but i know she will improve, i'm waiting to see what else she got, =), Hwaiting 8-ARA or soon to be 9-ARA

I hope Areum can prove that she's really worth being the 8th member ! haha I hope she can start shedding her layers lol xD

Damn, T-ara has to stand on the same stage with mid-tier group like After School and the boring f(x)? I just want to see special stage with SISTAR, T-ara, and Wonder Girls.

i think hyomin or soyeon will be the representative of T-ara. actually i want boram or qri since they are improved lately, i can't wait to see this performances. btw, i never heard "summer girls" before, is that a really good song?

"I want to hold their hands warmly and support them. That's why I am constantly keeping in touch with them – we are in the process of growing closer.” <--- Awe, she is so sweet and kind! Reading this, I feel even better about how the current members and new members' process of growing closer and getting along are going. Thank you for posting. & best wishes to T-ara ~

Love these bntnews interviews... you know, I wish CCM would make a special project with Hwayoung and her twin sister... Just imagine a hip-hop song with the Ryu sisters (Ryu Project?) with solid rapping and great dancing...

Her rapping really improved since her debut ^^; I feel that she really has matured a lot. She will definitely treat areum and dani well ^^

Well he does have them whipped, that's for sure. But is it really that hard to believe maybe the current members welcome the new ones? I don't take any of the members of being a big enough xxxx that they'd actually dislike the new members simply for joining the group late. The idea of adding/replacing members is not a new on in Kpop or any group-oriented business or franchise. The way he's approaching is def questionable. Miami wasn't mad about getting Lebron, you know. Especially now.

Don't Leave OMG !!! :) I'm so excited to hear that song with orchestra. Can't wait for their comeback.

I guess i will laugh at the members timeline.... it really a joke that t-ara is going to become 9 after 2-3yr later of debut. I understand Hwayoung join later after 6 t-ara debut. But Hwayoung join timing was just right for T-ara. I will never agree 9 - tara One time add member is forgiveness.. but 2nd and 3rd time NO never! I can see ppl here quite funny too. Cute & age 18 = accept Age young = not accept. Sigh ... this doesn't benefit our 7- tara

It's not just doubtful but I can bet you 99.9% that NONE of them (including Hwayoung) are happy with this news.If I were in their shoes,I'll sure as hell won't welcome someone who just come and ride my popularity that was built since I debuted - with no break only until recently.When Hwayoung was added back in December 2010,I can be pretty sure a few of them (if not all) weren't that thrilled either. I just want to ask two simple questions though.For those who have the answer,please reply to me. If Dani spent her years in U.S since she's 4,how long did she trained?And,if she's 14 in Korea,doesn't it mean that she's 12-13 internationally?WTF,I'm old enough to babysit her.

Ha, I must admit I'm still relatively new to K-Pop...I got into it after I discovered BoA in 2009 and began following T-ara the same year. They're the one group I've really stuck by since discovering K-Pop. One reason I don't say very much is because I feel a certain level of disconnect from other fans due to the age difference, so I generally keep to myself or post at The Prophet Blog since there are several people around my age with my sensibilities that post there as well. As far as what you said about AKF, I agree that a lot of what AKF himself talks about is on-point and hilarious, but it puts me off that I have to wade through all of the fapping jokes, misogynistic comments, and the rank smell of bullsh!t just to find it. Plus some of the new contributors are downright wankers. Lol As far as what makes me a T-ara fan, I admit that I'm a gay man, so their looks really aren't the reason I enjoy them (although I must admit I've always found them to be one of the prettiest groups in K-Pop; even "ugly" members like Bo Ram and Hwayoung are lovely in my opinion)...I think they put out some of the best pop music in the world right now, while their concepts and style/image is some of the most unique I've seen from a pop act in years. T-ara doesn't xxxx foot around; they go hard and take it all the way. It doesn't work all the time, but I commend them for making the effort and trying out new things. They go out of their comfort zones, and I like that. My biggest gripe with Dani's addition (besides just feeling strange listening to a prepubescent girl's music) is that I believe she's going to limit T-ara's plasticity when it comes to concepts and sounds. They aren't going to be able to do concepts like sexy or adult without it feeling strange and forced, meaning stuff like "Cry Cry" and IGCBOY won't fit them anymore. Furthermore, I actually just read that she's still 13, meaning she hasn't even turned 14 yet, meaning she still very well could limit T-ara's ability to promote on music shows. The jury's still out on whether or not that's a blessing in disguise, as it could mean that T-ara will just perform without her or they won't perform at all (and I'm guessing it won't be the latter). Ultimately my position is that T-ara would be a million times better off if they broke ranks and left CCM; hell, JYPE needs a girl group that can move albums, I'm sure they'd be happy to have them. YGE would be a great fit as T-ara could help them diversify their image beyond edgy, hip-hop groups. Just stay away from SME as I have a feeling they'd bury T-ara to prevent them from becoming any more of a threat to SNSD. They seem to do that with their groups. I'd also avoid Pledis since they'd probably encourage the admission/graduation system and stay the HELL away from DSP because of what they did to KARA.

CCM should leave SNSD out of this if they did the comparison cause it's not necessary it would be really difficult for her to be accepted and if people are comparing her already it would be more. On the other side I can't and won't accept her I don't have anything personal with this girl but I just can't accept the fact that a child is joining T-ARA she should be in school now she is too young and unexperienced to debut in a great group like T-ARA sorry CCM you screwed it up as always

I like SNSD too but is it really necessary to say that she's Girls' Generation Yuri look-alike?(is it just me or she don't resembles Yuri?).Publicity much,huh CCM?? Sigh,I was really hoping the 14 year-old addition news was a joke but it seems that my nightmare has come true.T-ara's schedules are really harsh,tight,murderous and there are almost no gap in between.I'm not looking down on her but I doubt she manage to "survive" without collapsing twice or more during her time with the girls. Like Scatter-88mil said,I too can see the potential of Boram and Qri leaving the group - either by their own will or been forced by that scumbag.IF what KKS claimed that these two girls are really good singers is true (which I doubt),Soyeon might leaves the group too. I'm starting to worry if T-ara might be a laughing stock from netizens for having a Mother-Daughter years gap a.k.a Auntie Boram and Auntie Qri.

"The new member who will join in July is a 3rd year high school student with both beauty and musical talent. It's also known that the other member is a 3rd year junior high school student." At this rate, T-ara's going to end up being like After School by adding younger members. High school is bad enough but JUNIOR HIGH? What sort of atrocity is this? "T-ara said, "Please look forward to our new members and new songs." I call that a load of bull****. Not even T-ara's likely to look foward to the new member addition. "Depending on how things turn out, a different member than what is planned now may join instead." The only difference T-ara needs is either a CEO or agency change. Not the member lineup. Nuff said. "T-ara's other new member was revealed to have grown up in the United States since age four and will be introduced to fans through acting in T-ara's new music video." So what does that matter? Having English skills doesn't mean jack in Kpop unless they're going to be interviewed by huge amounts of foreigners from countries that have English as the norm language or planning a debut to the US - which is laughable, considering not even the Big 3 are likely to succeed there. I sure as hell didn't give a flying f**k when I read about Tiffany growing up in the US before joining SM.
