Many fans heard about the recent closure of T-ara's fan club, Citrine. I understand that you are experiencing confusion, but this will be resolved. As of now, T-amo (http://090729.com/gb4/) will be the fanclub releasing the schedules and announcements. Projects and offline fansite activities will not be ran and managed by T-amo. In addition, T-amo will not be doing any support. When you send stuff to T-ara now, it will be passed to Core Contents Media and onto T-ara. The phrase "T-amo Fansite" will not be returning. (Citrine's name was written on balloons in the past, do not listen/support anything Citrine has said) In many ways, the fans are worrying about which club to join, We have found a way to hopefully solve this and agreed to a plan. Coming Sunday (September 5th) we'll be holding an offline meeting with fanclub representatives. The ugly and reckless things that Citrine did was in fact not the nature of all T-ara fans, but one fan, so please don't indiscriminate one fan for all fans. We'll be accepting entries from fanclub owners that meet certain criteria so that we will not monopolize anything in the future. In the next 5 days, please note if you are attending the meeting. If you do not attend, you will not have a chance to become the official fanclub. For those attending the offline meeting, please contact us with "site name / site address / operator name / contact" and label the e-mail "T-ara's fanclub" Our company will review the applications and we'll confirm we have received your application by contacting you all individually for a self-examination and interview. source: t-arafan cr: nathaniel (trans) @ diadem + t-arafan

"Death Bell 2" was released 3 days ago, and Boram from the girl group T-ara was originally supposed to appear in the movie. She has filmed 7 minutes and 30 seconds of screen time for her solely, but in the end, most of it was decided to be irrelevant and was completly edited out. "Death Bell 2" features Kim Suro, Hwang Jeong Eum, Yoon Si Yoon and fellow T-ara member Jiyeon, who plays a big role in the movie. A "Death Bell 2" official said, "Her scenes for the movie was decided not worthwhile for the movie, in the movie if you look hard, you'll be able to see Boram hidden in the backgrounds and throughout scenes, though," he hinted. That didn't make Boram demotivated though, because she will be turning into a lead-role actress for the KBS 2TV drama special, "Purple Heeled Grim Reaper is Coming". *** source: http://news.nate.com/view/20100803n08714 cr: nathaniel (trans) @ diadem + nate

Soyeon of the girl group, T-ara, was recently injured. On the 31th, T-ara continued to appear at screenings of "Death Bell 2". T-ara all were there to support fellow member Jiyeon. At the Cheonju Sangdang theater, hundreds of fans were already there before T-ara arrived crowding inside and outside the theater. Most of the fans there were for T-ara. T-ara members started signing autographs on CDs for fans, but then fans started squabbling to the stage. Sadly, at that moment, there was an accident with the lights and resulted in Soyeon getting injured. Soyeon's right big toe was swollen and bleeding, along with she had a big wound. Fortunately, emergency measures were taken for Soyeon and she had to "sit out" for the rest of the day.

"My acting debut in a one-act play/drama? It was a big burden. But I've been majoring in acting since childhood and this would only be good for me. If it's a not a big drama for me, I think this is a good chance for me and definitely a great experience." Qri has been in front of cameras before as a singer, but now as an actress. She was full of happiness. "After the shooting ended, I just have become more ambitious, I'll keep praying for more chances like this," she said. Lee Qri's drama, "Updates from Southern Trader Kim Chulsoo" is scheduled for broadcast next month on KBSTV where she plays the female lead. She previously appeared in the MBC drama "Queen Seondeok" with a minimal role. Qri's character is shy and not very feminine, who works in a coffee shop, where she falls in love with Kim Chulsoo (Oh Man Seok). "My role is a very passive character, and I'm used to being 'beautiful' being a female artist and caring about myself and others. I was taken back when we first started and felt small. It changed my knowledge on things." Qri's used to doing group activities. This was a strange, new experience for her and difficult as well. "Frankly, until now, all my appearances in dramas were cameos. Most of them were with other T-ara members, like all of us in 'God of Study'. And me and Soyeon in 'Giant'. A lot of fans of T-ara thought I needed more attention, and now I can. It was a point very difficult to get to. Qri suffered minor injuries during the shooting. She was shooting a scene where she gets pushed against a wall, and she accidentally hit her head on the wall. She mentioned that her role model is Uhm Jung Hwa. Qri's goal is to be as great as an actress as she is. "I've always had big dreams and would constantly be studying. But later on I decided to not have any dreams, but a goal." T-ara has their one year anniversary just yesterday on the 29th. But recently T-ara hit some big changes. First, they switched the leader, Eunjung, with Boram. Because Boram is partaking in no extra activities, it was decided Eunjung was too busy to be the support for the group during group activities. And second, they gained a new member, Ryu Hwayoung making T-ara seven members. They plan to release a new album as seven members as early as September and mount full-scale activities. "T-ara's album is mostly ready. So far, it's a variety of innocent and sexy, but it seems we'll be showing a completely different look. Qri was born in 1986, the same as the new leader Boram. When asked if she was jealous she wasn't designated leader she said, "Not at all. I'm younger than Boram by months. Boram has been around longer than all of us, she debuted earliest and it's good for her to be leader. Eunjung was replaced because of concerns she wasn't able to help a lot." She said about the new member, Hwayoung, "She has a really cute side. She's the youngest amongst the group members now. I work really hard to stay cute like her," she said. *** source: http://news.nate.com/view/20100730n04490 cr: nathaniel (trans) @ diadem + nate her drama is a one-act play kind of drama? im not sure what it means but i think it's gonna be 10 episodes, 10 minutes long each..

T-ara's Jiyeon reveals her thoughts about the new member, Ryu Hwayoung. In a recent interview with T-News, Jiyeon said, "After Ryu Hwayoung, she became the new maknae and we quickly became good friends. She recently moved into our living quarters and we're the same age, but she's younger. I feel much better knowing there's someone younger than me," she said. "We're preparing for our next album. It's expected to be released around September or October. It's really a pain to collect all the songs though, but I hope I can give a appear better in this T-ara album," she said.

this is from the special screening with the z9 star game winners. thanks for sharing, boram looks especially cute here~

Jiyeon, member of the girl group, T-ara, revealed more about her deadly schedule. She revealed about the very little time she gets to sleep or take breaks because of her tight schedule. Even the one night, two days during filming for her variety show "Heroes" takes up a lot of her time. She said that, "currently, I usually get 3-4 hours or less of sleep; but when I go on the programs like SBS "Heroes," I can get more which is why I think they're better than any other (variety shows)." The process to set up the interview with Jiyeon was very hard because of her extremely busy schedule. The meeting was put off twice and we almost gave up. But the third appointment was not that case. At night time we called and set up the interview to be at 10 o'clock this morning. Usually a burden at interviews and photo shoots is the 4-5 hours it takes for hair and make-up and getting dressed, but this time Jiyeon did hers before she left her dorm. After the many twists and turns, the interview with Jiyeon finally began. Wearing a clean uniform, we went out to a dark room with coffee in our hands for the interview. You could see that the sweet girl has a face full of tiredness and was tired and buried deeply. "Getting up every morning before dawn, with the upcoming release of our album and shooting of our music video, I'm very busy. I'm surprised I was able to even come for an interview." We were too. For this interview, we looked at her more than just a girl group member or a singer, but rather an actress. Her film debut "Death Bell 2" in which she stars in is expected to be released on the 28th. Although she's been in dramas before, this is her big screen debut which is a funky treat for her. "Originally, the goal was to cast all the members of T-ara but that changed. I was greedy and I became lucky to get appointed to the role. It was right after I finished "God of Study" so I went from one work to another, which was a little tiring. But horror is quite different from the dramas where my aegyo helped me.. I read the script and knew I had to work harder." Jiyeon takes on the role of Seh Hee in "Death Bell 2" and one by one, her friends begin to die. Playing this role was different from her personality and she thought it was confusing at first. She played a poor girl aiming to get good grades in high school in "God of Study" and a bully in "High Kick Through The Roof." When Jiyeon talks about her previous work, the tiredness wipes away from her eyes, and instead a twinkle comes. "Honestly, I can not be one of those people to just land a role and act. I have a different look on this that's not as easy and makes it sometimes harder to act for me. I like to figure out their distinct personalities exactly and figure the attributes of the character's I portray. Each role I get a new reaction from fans: "God of Study," how cute, "High Kick Through The Roof," she has charisma. So my fans think of me as a person with charismatic aegyo? (laughter). For "Death Bell 2" I'm not sure what reaction I'll get and I'll have to see." *** source: http://news.mk.co.kr/outside/view.php?year...0&no=395524 cr: nathaniel (trans) @ diadem + mk
