MC Mong's and 6-member group T-ara's songs have both been leaked into the internet. MBC radios are the sources to these leakages. They have played the songs even before the artists released the songs themselves which resulted to netizens getting a hold of the songs. Singers contact the broadcasting centers and send an application for review before debut. It has been agreed that it shouldn't be released unless it's time to. But there is nothing to be done to fix this. This time, 'Taeyeon's Good Friend Radio' have yet leaked another song by MC Mong called 'Indian Boy' from the singer's fifth volume, which also happened to T-ara's 'Wanna Play?' the day before. The companies of both T-ara and MC Mong are devastated that through the broadcast, their songs have been leaked into P2P sharing sites and blogs. *** Source: http://www.todaykorea.co.kr/news/articleVi...tml?idxno=76398 Translated by: Elly@diadem Cr: daum + todaykorea + Elly (trans) + diadem

T-ara's company, Core Contents Media protests that the leakage of T-ara's song in an MBC radio program is extremely ridiculous. T-ara is supposed to be on 'Radio Star' on the 29th as their official debut to the business. However, CCM is extremely outraged that the song 'Wanna Play?' was leaked on the 20th on Tayeon's Good Friend Radio. The representative for T-ara had said that 'You guys don't understand the significance of this certain circumstance. It is upsetting that the song was leaked like this.' Through the broadcast, the song was leaked intp P2P sites, blogs and sites. Their representative states it as 'Absurd'. It is absurd that '₩370,000,000 was invested into the music video (for Lies) and their debut and the song would get leaked like this.' The teaser was supposed to come out along with the songs to make a bigger impression. "It is outrageous that such a thing would happen, so it shouldn't happen again." said the representative for T-ara. *** Source: http://www.mydaily.co.kr/news/read.html?ne...1137&ext=na Translated by: Elly@diadem Cr: daum + mydaily + Elly (trans) + diadem

As the number of supporters for the rookie top stars grow, so does their popularity. While singing and dancing can bring a star into great heights in terms of popularity, participation in dramas also have a way of increasing one's popularity. Participating in dramas add up to the earning that a star might get versus only recording songs and performing. However, nowadays, it's been reversed. Top singers then to be in better state versus the ones in the acting business. Although the skills come easy with the new stars, it just so happens that singers get a crazier number of supporters compared to others in the business. A perfect example, is T-ara's Jiyeon. Jiyeon has been nicknamed the '2nd Kim Taehee' by the public because of her immense similarity in looks to the actress, and the public has been quite interested in her. Since Nam Gyuri had left SeeYa, Jiyeon had taken her spot in the collaboration project single along with SeeYa and Davichi. Jiyeon is a member of the upcoming girl group T-ara. T-ara has not debuted yet but their proposals in terms of endorsements and sponsorships have been soaring already. It was good that Jiyeon was introduced to the music business through the SeeYa and Davichi collaboration. Beggining August of this year, Jiyeon will be participating as the lead role in MBC's drama 'Soul', thanks to her musical popularity. *** Source: http://www.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno...58548&nvr=y Translated by: Elly@diadem Cr: daum + asiae + Elly (trans) + diadem
