T-ara's Soyeon reveals the truth about her trainee period as part of Girls' Generation. On the 10th, T-ara's Soyeon appeared on the tvN talk show, "Taxi" and revealed the reasoning about her withdrawal from Girls Generation which was "because of my own willingness," which surprised viewers. Soyeon stated that not only her, but all the members of Girls' Generation weren't exactly rookies and had different experiences accomplished in show business before becoming together as Girls' Generation. Some of them included the process of being in other idol groups as trainees or being a actresses (which Soyeon was as a child). The reason for her withdrawal from Girls' Generation was the following, "To be honest, during that time, I felt that my own determination and willingness was low." Soyeon said.

After I joined T-ara, I felt like I was brand new and ready for my debut." *** source: http://www.todaykorea.co.kr/news/articleVi...ml?idxno=112840 cr: nathaniel (trans) @ diadem + todaykorea note: in other articles it mentioned soyeon joined CCM at the time good person was released and quickly debuted with t-ara a mere month after joining the company.

Everyday artists get the spotlight from Netizens for their fashion. Celebrity fashion and beauty has recently become a big interest. The word "Fashionista" is a word for stars with great style. However, some stars are short of being a "Fashionista." Then comes the word "fashion terrorist" which is for stars with an excellent looks but a very bad fashion sense. ◆ 2PM Taecyeon -exerted- ◆ T-ara Eunjung Usually it's men representing the term "fashion terrorist" but T-ara's leader, Eunjung falls into this place as well as the female version of 2PM's Taecyeon. She looks pretty but does not fit her "awkward fashion" she often showcases. Wearing a beige dress and yellow t-shirt with worn-out boots is a unique combination of fashion that Eunjung came under fire for. For this reason, Eunjung was decided as the one with the worst fashion senses. ◆ Kim Tae Hee -exerted- *** source: http://news.naver.com/main/read.nhn?mode=L...;aid=0002109211 cr: nathaniel (trans) @ diadem + naver this article was written kinda weird, but you get the point. and dang, kim tae hee's dress.. LOL.
