The interviewer asked them, "Who do you think is the worst?" and Soyeon answers with a laugh "Boram!" Boram explains her side saying, "I have a hard time learning the choreography. I think my body doesnt give in to my commands" Hyomin points out that Hwayoung was also as uncoordinated as Boram. But Hwayoung says "I still think I'm better than Boram so I place myself 2nd." The members chose Jiyeon as the best dancer for her ability to pick-up any dance in a short amount of time. ~~~ Cr: Newsen + MBC Good Day Written By: Kim Bokyung Translation By: *YANiPOPO* @tiaradiadem.com

It seems Jiyeon has gotten herself into another controversy. While performing for KBS 1TV's '7080' concert, Jiyeon's dead face was attacked with criticism. They performed their lively song 'YaYaYa' and Nami's 'Indian Doll'. All while the other members were having fun, smiling and very cheerful, Jiyeon was standing out too much because of her unenthusiasm in both performances. The netizens have gone on to criticize her for not even smiling for the audience. Netizens say, "She just looks very tired", but the others say "It seems she doesnt even look like she wants to be there" Core Contents Media has spoken up about this and explained, "Jiyeon's schedule has been getting to her. Not only with T-ara, but her solo schedules as well. For days now, she has been only getting 2-3 hours of sleep everyday. And it's even getting smaller due to the preparation for the year-end awards. We are deeply sorry" ~~~ Cr: Newsen Written By: Park Jeonghyeon Translation By: *YANiPOPO* @tiaradiadem.com

T-ara recently performed at an outside concert for KBS 1TV's '80 Days of Promises', which has caused an uproar. While performing outside, they were wearing their christmas outfits that were done with thin fishnet material. The weather outside was a freezing -17.4

Imagine if it happened to another person, who didnt have the same techniques as Soyeon, it would have been woah.. But im glad Soyeon has this.. professional head idk how she gets it but yeah.. im glad she knows her stuff ^^

Various Journalists tackle T-ara's hectic schedule. They followed them around documenting T-ara's activities for 9 hours. "Our December schedule is very hectic. We have to practice alot of our choreography, and other artists aswell", says Boram. In their dressing room, 4 big bags of clothing can be seen, along with various make-up utensils for them. Every year-end, the biggest music festivals are held and the brightest stars who have worked hard the past year are always in attendance. There are always special performances that are organized. 7 members of T-ara in 9 hectic hours, you will see how their schedule really is in a short amount of time. At 15:00, they go to their hairstylists as they sleep soundly. This is a rare chance for them to catch up on their sleep as Jiyeon explains 'I feel like I only sleep for an hour.. I might fall asleep on-stage!'. Hyomin adds, 'I fell asleep at the hair shop today and almost fell down the stairs!' From there they move to the music show's backstage/waiting room and they are fixing their hair accessories and make-up. They have to sing 2 songs for their comeback, so for their outfit change, they are only given 30 seconds to change. They chat among themselves about random things like their make-up, their stage performance or even the amount of sleep they got last night. At 17:30, there was an incident in their dress rehearsal. It turns out their outfit were made too tight that there were no places for their microphone and the receiver. Members Hyomin and Soyeon went on performing 'YaYaYa' without being fully zipped at the back, but good thing they were wearing black shirts to cover their bras. As this emergency is needed to be fixed, the stylists move the receivers to their hips, except for lead vocalist Soyeon who continues on. At 18:30, the girls eat their meal from a restaurant. Hyomin says,"This is better than usual. We usually eat chips or sweets.". But it was noticeable that new member Hwayoung did not eat all of her food. She explains, "I'm tall and Im light-skinned so on camera I look very chubby. So now im dieting.". Since she finished eating early, she uses her time wisely and practices infront of the mirror. It's already 21:00 and it's time to start the Melon Music Awards. They seem to be nervous. Their first performance was finished without any mistakes, but then problems popped up for their second performance. For their outfits of 'YaYaYa' Soyeon's zipper in the back couldnt be raised because her receiver was caught in it. She refused to go on stage but she had to since they didnt have much time to cope. While on stage, she was very worried something might go wrong. But she handles it like a real professional and carries on like nothing is wrong. While exiting, it was clear that Soyeon was hiding her back part and she was almost teary-eyed. Their day didnt end there as 23:30 came and they had to rehearse with Secret for their special stage on KBS' Music Bank. The members who were feeling sleepy immediately got an energy boost once the music played. Two days after that the joint performance was held and they did well. Soyeon lastly expressed their determination, "If you ask us whether we would like to rehearse to be on stage, or sleep for an hour more, we will gladly choose to rehearse to be on stage" ~~~ Cr: DongA journalists Written By: Various Translated By: *YANiPOPO* @ tiaradiadem.com SOYEON SOYEON SOYEON!

[10.12.19] From CCM rep "Eunjung was missing from inkigayo today to film 'Dream High'. She's in Japan. So Leader Boram took over her lines and Jiyeon aswell" - NEWSEN, CCM REP

Girl-group T-ara has recently cameback with another unique concept, an 'Indian Concept' for 'YaYaYa'. T-ara debuted last year with their song 'Good Person' and then with member-change, they came back as a 6-membered girl-group with 'Lies'. This is the first time they will go through this and they have said enthusiastically 'This is our first time and I hope we can be very frank and honest. We will do well!" Star OX is a quiz given to celebrities being interviewed, basically O = yes, X = no. Question 1 - Do you think there's a generation gap between the members? Answer: O "T-ara members vary in age. Qri and Boram are 25, I'm 24, Eunjung is 23, Hyomin is 22, while Hwayoung and Jiyeon are 18. There are gaps between our ages so this is already expected." Soyeon adds, "The music we listen to is very different. For example, I grew up liking H.O.T. While the younger ones like Eunjung and Hyomin likes DBSK." Hyomin says, "There's a strength and stamina difference. The older ones seem to be tired faster while the younger ones can run around with lots of energy." Question 2 - Are there any male celebrities who have approached you saying they're interested in you? Answer: O Sports Chosun: T-ara is at the peak of their popularity, both as groups and as soloists. It's no doubt many males like T-ara. They explain: "We dont talk about those kind of stuff. But for me, I'm naturally tomboy-ish and I have alot of male celebrity friends. People often mistake it as us dating." Question 3 - Have there been Seniors or Juniors that has acted nasty or unpleasant towards T-ara? Answer: O Soyeon says, "When we debuted, our girl-group friends were warning us about a Senior that didn't like us and was stern with us. Thanks to our friends, we were not surprised when that senior acted that way when we were there." Question 4 - Was dieting the hardest part of your year? Answer: X Sports Chosun: T-ara watches what they eat but they dont restrict themselves. They still like eating hearty foods, along with some Chicken Breast and some salad. Soyeon says, "It wasnt the hardest. It's just stressful when you mind everything that goes into your mouth. I have formed a habit where I weigh myself in every morning. It makes me feel accomplished when I see that I'm losing weight." Hyomin has a different case, "Whenever we have to wear something that exposes our mid-area, I barely eat anything fattening. Even if you're skinny, your stomache might still pop out! As with the other members, I eat well too, but I can't eat before the broadcast starts. That was the hard part" Question 5 - Do you feel that you need to step up more compared to other groups? Sports Chosun: Because of their hit songs like 'Bo Peep Bo Peep' they never had the chance to truly showcase their vocal prowess. Their fun and laid back performances are what they're known for. Hyomin, "People never really acknowledged us as the best singers. But during our own party, we said we will work hard and help one another. We know we will get good results if we do it." Question 6 - Honestly speaking, has any of T-ara done plastic surgery? Answer: O Hyomin, "We won't reveal who has had work done and where, but we honestly say yes some of us had. The society has now become more focused on the looks rather than our talents. As multi-entertainers, we also need to look good. There's always that one part of us that feels we want to be prettier. Fixing a few things of your appearance is ok if it makes you happy and it doesn't make you greedy to get everything done." ~~~ Interview By: Lee Jeong Hyuk Questions By: Sports Chosun Translated By: *YANiPOPO* @tiaradiadem.com I admire them even more for admitting they have had work done. Although I for one has always knew that my main girl Soyeon has obviously had work done. And as a fan i dont deny that, nor do i hate her for doing it. She's a girl who knows what she wants and how to go and get it. Whoever did her eyes is amazing cause it looks so well done.
