[[12.04.11] T-ara signs a separate contract with an agency specialized in acting]

Their actors and actresses are able to go through smooth casting systems, while being able to get the opportunity to choose the roles of their choice, as well as rights to their modeling/image and various other fields.

Nothing in life is ever that easy.

And all things point to Management Koo just being another daughter-company to CCM.

Hopefully he actually had a hand in acting management with talent like Hwang Jung Eum.

[[PICS] T-ara at Mnet Wide News (08/25)]

It's HyungJoon, or HyunJoong, I forget where the G goes for Hook Zerg.

So much Boram, can't click save image as nearly fast enough. This S.B person, I approve of their work.

[[11.03.15] 5dolls collaboration, "Thankful, but sad"]

It quite regretful that CCM's seemingly slapdash promotion of 5dolls has gotten to the point that it's wearing on the group itself. It's one thing to have no confidence in one's project, but CCM is flagrantly displaying this lack of confidence to the public. This kind of stance cannot possibly be healthy for the members of 5dolls.

The change of costuming, from a frumpy yet recognizable theme to a purely awkward and none-too-clear one, after only a week into their promotion schedule.

The change to a more flamboyant choreography after two weeks.

The joint appearance with T-ara their third week.

Now this week with its one day of playful choreo-covering and shift to a racier styling theme, this is not the mark of a sound marketing plan.

It's true that 5dolls, and their main unit, have not shot through the charts as powerfully as T-ara had done, but this frantic decision making by CCM is just unsavory. The management should have taken more time to carefully hone the image they wanted 5dolls to impart and researched how well it would sell. There is absolutely no excuse to have their costume go from college student, to some sort of militant organization, to risque...gym members?, the second iteration alone made absolutely no sense for the group and its song.

They say consistency is important for child development, I cannot help but think it may well apply to a fledgling music group as well.

I hope CCM gets its act together before they begin their next promotional cycle.

[[11.03.03] T-ara's 3 actor-dols and 5dolls joint performance, "high expectations"]

Did anyone else think it would have been better for the two groups to be more integrated, the whole time, on stage? Having the seniors separate and in the back made it seem like they were looming over the 5 dolls.

[[11.03.02] T-ara and 5dolls to have joint stages this week]

Would have been nice to have Hwayoung up there, too. Just cram as many rappers on stage as possible.

[[SPAZZ] Which mv do u like the most?]

I am most likely the odd one out, but I'm Really Hurt was my favorite promo vid. Might be considered boring with its; teasing the choreo only a few times, bare bones wardrobe and styling, and little in the way of effects. I found that the minimalist approach the producer took made for a more intimate experience which fit with the emotional quality of the song.

Though, I was disappointed that the camera man was made to make the video more "dynamic" by trying to give the viewer motion sickness with erratic zooms...and that Q-Ri and Soyeon pulled out eyelash curlers.

[[OFFICIAL] T-ara at Tears of Heaven Musical (02/12)]

Boram is quite fetching with shoulder length hair, shame she did not get to have it like that more often.

Oh autotune, you're so classy, I hope you never go away.

I really hope it's just the chorus being autotuned.

[[11.01.28] T-ara members experience their worst outfit mishap]

Couldn't a few safety pins have been applied to take up the slack in their shirts?

It is somewhat painful seeing people perform so uncomfortably and preoccupied.
