[14.02.18] T-ara to release a special tango style pop-dance song on the 20th

Girl group T-ara has collaborated with composer Cho Youngsoo again.

After collaborating last with Cho Youngsoo over a year and seven months ago for "Day by Day", T-ara members Jiyeon, Hyomin, and Soyeon will reunite with him for his signature "All Star" album.

Cho Youngsoo's agency Nextar Entertainment said on Twitter on the 18th, "The first song for the '2014 All Star' album will be with popular girl group T-ara. The release is on the 20th so please anticipate it a lot." They also included a verification shot.

T-ara last promoted "What Do I Do" and their members also are taking on individual schedules, but they have made time to join the project. Cho Youngsoo helped make T-ara's debut song "Lies" as well as "I Go Crazy Because of You", "Cry Cry", "Day by Day" and the "Women's Generation" and "Wonder Woman" project albums for T-ara, SeeYa, and Davichi.

"First Love" is a dance-pop song utilizing the sexy charms of a sexy and elegant tango. The tango rhythm will contrast with intense and hurtful lyrics about an unforgettable first love. Rookie rapper "EB" will also feature in the song before his official debut.

[[14.01.28] T-ara to release 9th Japanese single, Double A-side 'Lead The Way' and 'LA]

Excuse me !!! What's "double a-side" ?? I don't understand

It means both the songs will be treated and promoted as singles.

[[SUGGESTION] BGM for the forum]

Oh it's a good idea but I think if there's something we can do to shuffle MVs playing to help raise the views on YouTube or help streaming rank for T-ara on K-websites would be better.

I don't like autoplaying music either like a lot of people but it's a nice idea to have the BGM music but I do also know there are other sites (or used to be) that focused on T-ara music or K-pop radio music.

And for the allowing people to know the songs that they missed out on part of your post, there is the Lyrics section of the forum which has all of T-ara's songs.

She works really hard and she always cares about the people around her. Still today we are friends who keep in contact and go out to eat rice sometimes. I only know acting, but she taught me a lot about image. I've learned a lot from her."

[[14.01.10] Latest Info - T-ara rank 7th for most #1 songs in the past decade]

How is #1s being determined? Is it per instance of reaching #1 in a given timeframe? And which sites has ranked them?

Also which T-ara songs are included? I suspect it wouldbe BPBP, RP, and LD. But just to confirm which songs actually got to the top.

PS: to be fair, CCM does release consistently good songs for their artists. I guess it is a safe bet even for those who don't listen to Kpop in general to sample songs from T-ara's labelmates (or ex labelmates) - at least with those stated above.

the article didnt clarify it but it does say it is from melons digital chart (melon is the first digital music download provider in korea) and includes downloading and streaming.

it doesnt say which are included but i guess it would have to be most of their singles LOL

[[DISC] How T-ara are getting the love back: A look at sales numbers]

thanks for this compilation. it is interesting to see all this data compiled together finally and in an easy-to-follow format.

although it is disappointing, it is not horrible. its inevitable they aren't as well off now as they were before, but they still are doing quite well by their album sales. honestly i think the biggest disappointment is number nine. i thought that it would be a big hit for t-ara and i believe its one of their best songs but it didn't turn out that way we hoped it would

it's good to see them selling more albums than the other girl groups of course XD

im nervous to see how what do i do charts because i think the song is similar to jeonwon diary and has a very specific demographic market despite them trying to appeal to older audiences with the sampling of the older song. i think the older generations would be easier to disregard the silly scandal now and so ccm tried to market to them, but at the same time market to younger people, but i don't think it is going to work out how they hoped. i just hope their other new song later this month can do well!

and it's interesting seeing how well painkiller did compared to number nine! i hope ccm will do more collabs like that because although they aren't amazingly successful, they still do quite well overall!

in the end, i think it is pretty common for a lot of artists to not be as successful with their later releases as they are compared to their first or "peak"-middle time. the fact is true with kara (singles and album sales have been decreasing) who i think are the kpop girl group t-ara can most easily be compared to. but i think that they can turn around eventually (look at 4minute hahahaha) and be #1 again!!!

good post!! b^.^d

Jiyeon's teaser image was dark and sorrowful, while Eunjung's was futuristic and provocative and Hyomin had a mysterious, sexy bunny charm. Now with Boram's image, it shows all four so far are different from each other and expectations are rised for the remaining two members.

[[13.11.04] Latest Update - Two International reviews on "Jinx!" and Hyomin's acting]

[13.11.04] Latest Update - International Review on "Jinx!!!"

A frothy and fun-packed college comedy romance, Naoto Kumazawa’s Jinx!!! (yes, three exclamation marks!) is an engaging tale of star-crossed romance where those trusty plot devices of misunderstanding, shyness and friendship are used to good effect.

Much is made of cross-cultural romantic references between South Korea and Japan, and while its youthful target audience is most likely from those territories the film has a whole lot of remake potential as a co-production between other countries (US and Japan, UK and France etc). The film had its world premiere at the Tokyo International Film Festival and opens in Japan on November 16.

The film actually opens in South Korea where young student Jiho (fresh and delightful K-pop star Hyomin, from group T-ARA) is waiting to meet her boyfriend for their 100-day date (celebrating romance every 100 days is a big deal in South Korea), but he dies in a motorcycle accident.

To try and get over her grief she heads to Japan as an overseas student (where much is made, naturally, about cultural misunderstandings). She quickly befriends the seemingly sad and rather clumsy Kaede (a charming Kurumi Shimizu) and starts to try and apply her Korean-style romance tactics to fostering Kaede’s would-be romance with the boy Yusake (Kento Yamazaki) she has loved from high school.

It is territory that has been covered many times before, but what gives this rather lengthy rom-com (it runs over two hours) its heart is the sheer force of personality of Hyomin in her film debut who is a real delight as Jiho, who puts her own sadness to one side and use her matchmaking prowess to try and help Kaede.

She tries to get Kaede to adopt the Korean romantic tactics of ‘milbang’ – essentially a series of rules on how to get a guy to fall in love with you – though naturally enough this leads to misunderstandings galore (as Kaede can’t quite seem to follow the rules) and also gradually draws out more about Jiho’s relationship with her late boyfriend.

The film has more than its fair share of charming moments – with more than a few side trips into melodramatic territory – with Liszt’s Liebestraum No. 3 acting as a romantic motif. Best of all is Jiho’s love for the notion that couples should show their love by reenacting scenes from famous Hollywood romantic films such as Love Actually and in particular Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, where the scene of lying on the ice looking up at the stars plays a key role in Jinx!!!.

Two introverted, socially awkward Japanese university students like each other, but cannot even exchange one single word at school. Help! Bring a photogenic girl resembling a K-pop star to the rescue by sending her to Japan and teaching them the ways of courtship, Korean style!

The premise sounds like a hokey, adolescent international incident rife with stereotypes, but what powers “Jinx!!!” through its 122 minutes is the charm of its lead, Hyomin (a real-life K-pop star and member of the girl group T-ARA). Hyomin plays the character of Jiho, who makes a sudden decision to study in Japan to recover from the sudden death of her boyfriend in Korea. Why Japan? How does Jiho learn to speak Japanese? What is she studying? None of these questions seems to matter when she comes across Kaede (Kurumi Shimizu), who sits by herself in the cafeteria at lunchtime each day. When Jiho realizes that Kaede acts nervous around a couple of male classmates, she accurately assumes that her new reluctant friend must be interested in one of them. So begins a determined Jiho’s quest to play the ringmaster in a play-hard-to-get series of antics called milbang. Jiho’s insistence on playing matchmaker, her over-the-top perkiness in forcing Kaede to be friends with her, and her eventual involvement in pushing the equally hesitant Yusuke (Kento Yamazaki) to pursue Kaede become clearer as the relationship with her late boyfriend is gradually revealed.

What will make “Jinx!!!” appealing to the teen and 20-something set is the Japanese indie film meets K-drama story line, through which Hyomin pretty much plays up two moods: wide-eyed happy and tearful sad. As a result, melodrama is bound to play a major role, with a dreamlike classical piano piece (Franz Liszt’s “Liebestraum No. 3″) serving as the theme for nostalgic flashbacks and scenes from romantic Hollywood movies. These all manage to comprise the backbone and the heart of “Jinx!!!” in a series of genuinely comedic, tear-inducing and heartwarming events that help Jiho herself to heal.

“Jinx!!!” made its world premiere at the 2013 Tokyo International Film Festival and will be released theatrically on Nov. 16.
