  1. [12.11.13] T-ara's sleepiness on the plane attracts attention

    ccc81b5b6d9b611ed150107fd8f946d6.jpg

    After promoting "SEXY LOVE" in Korea, T-ara has promotional schedules for their single album "SEXY LOVE" in Japan being released on the 14th. Pictures of them exhausted and sleeping have become a hot topic.

    On the 9th, T-ara traveled from Korea to Japan to begin their "SEXY LOVE" promotions in Japan.

    T-ara will tour various Japanese regions including Tokyo, Sendai, Fukuoka and Nagoya. They have a total of 12 mini-live events and plan to greet 3,000 to 10,000 fans with each day. They also have a busy schedule for Japanese broadcasts and media interviews.

    A photo released by their agency that was taken by their manager in the plane has caught attention. The T-ara members are all asleep on the plane ride.

    T-ara members have a busy schedule, so they all fell asleep on the way to Japan, but as expected, the leader Soyeon was awake checking the schedules and keeping the group on task. Eunjung's sleeping pictures have attracted attention before since she can fall asleep anywhere, and she's known as the idol who sleeps whenever and wherever.

    T-ara will return to Korea on the 19th.

    Her agency Core Contents Media said, "Dani was 14 years old and in elementary school in the United States and was on a vacation to Korea when she was cast. Since she's been here in Korea, the first time she's able to wear a school uniform is through the drama shooting."

    Dani said, "It's amazing to wear a school uniform for the first time and shoot with my unnies and oppas. It's fun and feels like I'm really in school when we film."

  3. [12.11.08] T-ara's Jiyeon putting off her college education again this year

    667015_65635_844.jpg

    Last year, T-ara's Jiyeon put off going to college and this year again, she will put off her college education.

    T-ara's agency Core Contents Meda said to OBS that, "With Jiyeon's and T-ara's activities in Japan and her acting career, Jiyeon is already going to have a full schedule so she will delay her college education."

    Last year it was revealed Jiyeon was thinking of going to college and taking the CSAT, but she postponed it and said she would think about it again for this year. With T-ara's Japanese activities and her acting schedule colliding, Jiyeon will have practically no time for going to college, so this year also, she will put it off.

    According to her agency, Jiyeon does plan to go to college when she has more time.

    Meanwhile, T-ara will spread their activities throughout Asia with concerts/showcases in Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia.

  12. [12.10.19] "T-ara's Confession" members crying.. Will Hwayoung's exit be mentioned?

    2012101901001209900106591.jpg

    "T-ara's confession?"

    T-ara will appear on a Mnet cable channel on the 20th to broadcast "T-ara's Confession".

    The type of situations covered in the program have yet to have been revealed and only trailers have been released.

    T-ara members were shown in the trailers in the process of their recent Southeast Asian concerts and were shown talking candidly to the cameras.

    From the footage, Hyomin was seen starting her speech by saying, "To be honest...", and wiping away her tears. Eunjung was shown next saying her inner thoughts, "But I'm learning how to be better in the future."

    In addition, the members all gathered together at the same spot for the interview where they all were shown crying together. Qri was shown sending out mixed messages with her head bowed and not saying anything.

    The trailer showed a subtitle that said, "The Girls' Heartfelt Story" will be featured on the broadcast, but what's attracted attention is if T-ara will talk candidly in regards about their former member Hwayoung and her leaving the group.

    Netizens have commented, "I hope they'll clarify my doubts", "I'd rather they did this properly instead of crying on a broadcast", "I'm curious now", "I don't know what they are trying to accomplish by broadcasting this", "Just stop this", and showed a variety of mainly negative reactions.
