T-ara: "How to Become a Female Idol Group" [interview]
T-ara has received a lot of attention within merely 2 weeks of their debut, and have also become strong candidates in the "girl group battle." Although they are newcomers, they've prepared for multiple years as trainees so even though they only have 2-3 hours of schedule a day, they feel honored. Though only debuted for two weeks, they've been thrown the topic "how to become a female idol group."
Hyomin: Female idols have to be open-minded and brave. If anyone gets jealous of anyone else, small things can be inflated into problems. You also have to be brave on stage. If you make a mistake on stage, you have to learn to not make another mistake later on. Also to be an idol singer, you have to be straight-forward and clear. There can't be any implications.
Q-ri: You have to be able to think like teens. Because there are a lot of teen fans, you have to understand their interests and thoughts to get their attention in return. Whether it's broadcasts or promotions, you have to work hard to understand what sorts of reactions you're getting. You have to think of things like, "Ah, young fans don't see this as a good thing." It's also important to take good care of your skin. Recently we haven't been able to sleep very much, so it's been hard to take care of our faces so we look like a wreck.
Soyeon: Female idol groups can't smoke. <laughs> It's basically the same stuff as Q-ri said. Simply one cigarette could ruin you. You have to really care about your attitude towards life. You have to pay attention to the trends of teens and understand what they consider to be bad. Female idol groups must be strong. Like our name Tiara, we want to create a high-class trend. Things harmful to the health aren't high-class.
Jiyeon: You have to do well in school, too. In our group, I'm the only one still in high school. The older ones often tell me how important it is to keep up with school. Our management also things school attendance is very important. I often hear of people who, while trainees, miss out on the precious experience at a young age. I want to also make good friends and learn a lot at school.
Eunjung: Female idols need to have their own true image. In the past it was okay to be mysterious, but now the ones who are the most honest and can show their own character are the most charming. Many people like that sort of image. In the past it was important for the team as a whole to have a color, but now it's even more important for each member to have their own character and personality. Ah, and female groups have to become close friends with high heels. Whew, it's tough. <laughs>
Boram: To be a female idol group, you have to be young. But I'm the oldest one in T-ara. <laughs> You can see the idol group's charms grow with age. You see the image on stage and also in their personal lives. In addition, it's such a great thing to be able to grow with your fans as well.
With more things they wants to do than to have to give up, we hope they can find their color and the group's identity. With these girls who are strong like the wind and have a charm to 'want to be you girlfriend," we have met another female idol group.

T-ara: Hyomin's 'Plastic Surgery Controvery'...Mnet: "Photo Capture Misunderstanding"
Idol group T-ara's member Hyomin (21, real name Park Sunyoung) has gotten into a plastic surgery controversy due to some pictures. Some netizens took screen shots of roles Hyomin played in the past and said, "Her face is so different from now," sparking a controversy.
It started when a title was posted on various portal sites called "T-ara's Hyomin's pre-plastic surgery look." It was posted with a picture from 2005 KBS's Drama Sassy Girl Chunhyang. Netizens posted "this is Hyomins real face" "shocking pictures of the real Hyomin" and other provoking titles and then compared with her recent photos from her blog.
The internet-ulzzang-born Hyomin's kindergarden graduation picture has also been revealed recently, showing her "natural beauty" causing an increase in the battle from fans about the plastic surgery issue.
Various posts like "her current image and her drama image are way too different. Didn't they alter it too much." versus "Seeing her kindergarden pictures you can see she was originally a beauty." have been lingering about.
Mnet said, "Hyomin debuted in middle school as an internet ulzzang, so these pictures that are becoming a controversy are from middle school. Those captures aren't real, which have caused misunderstanding," clearing up the suspicions.

TN: Mnet's explanation is a bit confusing...but I think what they mean is that she's been an ulzzang since jr high so those pictures can't be her? That's my guess at least...any help from someone with awesome korean is appreciated :DTN

What Was the Meanest Question on Radio Star? "Boyfriends!"
T-ara thought about what was the "meanest" question on Radio Star.
T-ara said on a recent interview that as newcomers on their first broadcast, Radio Star was quite burdensome. We didn't decorate or exaggerate ourselves, but instead tried to be honest and entertaining."
Later they were asked what question was the most memorable, and they all replied, "the ones regarding boyfriends."
Eunjung said, "the night before we were all very scared. We tried to forecast what questions would be asked, but thought 'if only the boyfriend questions would not come up, then that'd be great.' But then suddenly the ex-boyfriend question was asked and all of us were rather surprised," she said with a laugh.
"If we said 'we don't have boyfriends' then netizens would all say we were lying. So we thought the best thing to do would be to just be honest and frank about answering it," she added.

What does T-ara think of SNSD: "We hunger to learn from the veterans"
What does girl group youngster T-ara think of the girl group battle?
T-ara discussed their thoughts on debuting in the midst of the girl group summer battle.
T-ara (Boram, Jiyeon, Hyomin, Eunjung, Qri, Soyeon) said in a recent interview, "during our comeback stages, we were able to watch SNSD's performances. They were so beautiful and did so well. There really was another something that we could feel. The points we were lacking, it really was the difference between amateurs and veterans."
Later they said, "Since we got to see the other girl groups in real life, we know there is a lot to learn. We've come to realize that. How we will have to prepare and how we will have to perform, we must slowly gain momentum."
T-ara's Soyeon said, "We're still newcomers without any performing experience, so there are a lot of ups and downs. We will have to overcome those. We have to have even more energy on stage versus our practicing time."
Leader Eunjung said, "We're learning to gather the precious points of each member. If we can help each other fill what's lacking, then it'll be strongly advantageous."
Q-ri added, "Our team has a different purity than other girl groups. I've heard it's a lot like the girl groups from the early '90s. Versus an elegant or powerful feeling, T-ara's point is their pure and sincere charm."
Meanwhile Core Contents Media's T-ara has been a cinderella story since their debut on Radio Star.
T-ara's digital single <Lies> has done well in various charts, showing their rise as a powerful new girl group.

CEO Kim Gwangsu: "Using Lee Hyori as security payment, please give love to T-ara"
6-member girl group T-ara made their first public appearance on MBC's 'Golden Fisheries' Radio Star.
With the '2nd Kim Taehee' and Jun Youngrok's daughter already capturing attention before their debut, it was obvious this show would get attention.
That day the ratings soared compared to previous weeks.
Meanwhile singer Jun Youngrok's daughter Jun Boram, former SNSD member Soyeon and the other members were able to proudly show off their talents.
Yoon Jongshin said to Boram sincerely, "There probably isn't anyone who hasn't your dad's videos before." However Boram's reaction was a bit distant.
Shin Junghwan said, "my first recording with Boram was a bit awkward because I asked her whether or not she greeted her father in the morning before coming here, and she answered 'I don't live with my father.'" which caused everyone to laugh.
Later Boram said, "I've been doing cartwheels since I was five," and then showed everyone her talent. After seeing Boram, Kim Goora said, "she looks like a gymnast."
Also there was a surprise phone call with T-ara's boss Kim Gwangsu, of which he was asked "why did you have them debut on 'radio star'", of which he answered, "please give much care to these girls. Those who watch it will be able to capture their singing and acting characters, so debuting here will let them become uninhibited stars."
As to the question of T-ara's rivals, Kim Gwangsu answered, "their rival team's name has four letters. They will work hard to try to catch up within a month," he said with confidence. "If your ratings today aren't up, then I'll use someone to compensate for it," of which the MCs replied, "use Lee Hyori as security."
Kim Gwangsu said to T-ara, "you're still young, so show your energetic and healthy side to the public and don't let anyone down."

T-ara's Request to their Ex-Boyfriends for photo cleanup on their homepages?
6-member new girl group T-ara discussed their special request to 'clean up' pictures from their former boyfriends' homepages.
T-ara debuted through the 29th's MBC 'Golden Fisheries-Radio Star'.
That day they talked about how they had a request to 'clean-up' all the pictures on their homepages, with a special request to clear out pictures from their former boyfriends' homepages, which caught peoples' attentions.
Eunjung said, "in particular, there were two pictures taken at the park that I ask to be removed." Q-ri said, "there isn't anything like that for me, but that one with my funny hair, please just look at it yourself," she said shyly.
Soyeon said, "luckily we thought of this ahead of time so we didn't take any pictures together. Since we were so careful, we must succeed." Soyeon's former boyfriend in fact was also a trainee aspiring to become an entertainer.
Boram said, "there was an agreement to erase everything." Hyomin begged, "the past is in the past, and let's focus on the present."
Meanwhile T-ara will be performing on MCountdown, Music Bank, Music Core, and Inkigayo this week to kick off their promotions.

Lee Miyoung: "T-ara Jun Boram, I'm sorry I could not be more aware of my eldest daughter."
Actress Lee Miyoung confessed that she was sorry that she was not aware of the desires of her first daughter Jun Boram.
Lee Miyoung guested on KBS2TV's <Free Time> with close friend actor Song Kiyoon, telling the story of their 30-year friendship as well as her daughter Jun Boram.
Song Kiyoon, who had built a friendship for 30 years with Lee Miyoung, said "When I saw Lee Miyoung's daughter Boram's dancing on UCC video, you don't know how proud I felt," expressing his thoughts on the soon-to-debut Jun Boram. Jun Boram, former couple Lee Miyoung-Jun Youngrok's daughter, released her splendid dancing on UCC last year which created quite a topic. Jun Boram will soon be debuting this year in female idol group <T-ara>, gathering a lot of attention.
Lee Miyoung said, "First of all I had no idea Boram could dance so well. When she was young her body was so stiff, I did not know when she grew up so well," taking pride in her daughter that grew up so beautifully.
Later she added, "I'm sorry that I was not aware of my daughter's talents ahead of time after all this time has gone by. My daughter also never especially expressed anything, so I never even would have imagined this," expressing her sadness.
"We were divorced when Jun Boram was very young, yet she gave me a lot of encouraging words which made me very touched and teary," she added about her daughter's maturity.
<The last part is left out because it just talks about the two actors' friendship>

T-ara's Soyeon "SNSD is in the past, this is a friendly competition."
"Now I'm just part of T-ara. I've forgotten about my SNSD past. SNSD and I will both do well."
It was recently revealed that Soyeon, member of 6-girl group T-ara, was a SNSD trainee.
After T-ara's members' pictures were revealed, people found out on the internet that she was a SNSD trainee.
Soyeon had a short interview with NewsEn on July 4th to explain the truth behind all of this. Soyeon expressed, "I was never going to discuss how my SNSD debut fell through. But it seems like SNSD fans found the picture on the internet from when a picture was released in the past, so it's true that I almost debuted as SNSD. I trained for 4 months together with SNSD in preparation of debut. I was the last to join, and I ended up leaving the group a month before debuting."
Soyeon took part in SNSD's showcase and even was part of the music video. However, she has completely separated from SNSD.
Soyeon said, "Even now, I'm still in contact with the SNSD members. I'm really happy that SNSD is doing well. Going forward I will try my best as a member of T-ara. Although we'll be in competition with SNSD, I would like it to be a friendly competition between us."
Mnet said, "Soyeon's contract with SM Entertainment has been settled, and recently joined as a member of T-ara."
T-ara is a female group that M-net Media has ambitiously prepared for three years. Aside from the so-called <2nd Kim Taehee> Jiyeon, T-ara added Soyeon, singer Jun Youngrok and actress Lee Miyoung's daughter Boram, and Q-ri, forming a 6-member group of which pictures were recently revealed for people to know how they were going to debut. Their debut song will be made public this month and kick off official promotions.

[09.09.18] Who is Tiara's Ideal Type?
in News
Posted
Who is Tiara's Ideal Type?
On a music site, the topic "Male entertainer we really want to meet" for Tiara has become hot.
During the "music story" interview, Tiara was asked if there were any male entertainers they liked before debut, and now that they've debuted they hope to meet, Jiyeon answered, "Although I haven't met him, I'd like to meet the innocent-image'd Lee Chunhee, Eunjung said, "I really like Daniel Henney, and if I get to meet him I'll be too nervous to even asked for an autograph," and laughed. Hyomin said, "I really like Kang Dongwon, who I've only seen on the big screen or on billboards." Qri said, "I've always liked Kwon Sangwoo, who I've only seen from afar at a movie premiere event."
Soyeon revealed her first meeting with Marco, who she's liked for a while. "I met Marco recently on KBS's 'Invincible Baseball.' I presented Marco's favorite 'Banana' dance to show how I felt, but I hope he thought it was cute," she said and everyone laughed.
In addition, the singer sunbaes they wanted to follow were Lee Hyori and Wonder Girls. "We want to have Lee Hyori sunbae's hardworking effort and passion. We want to have that energy as singers, actresses, and MCs." After talking about their respect for Lee Hyori, they added, "We want to be like Wonder Girls in their captivating performances as well as their individual charms."
Recently Tiara members Soyeon, Eunjung, Hyomin and Jiyeon have formed a project group with Supernova members Jihyuk, Gwangsu and Gunil, releasing a single 'TTL (Time to Love)' which has received good reactions. The music video of 'TTL' was releasedf on the 15th, and it quickly rose in the charts. On the 18th it rose to #1 on the Monkey3 chart.
"Tiara's powerful dance and rap in 'TTL' shows a different side than the feminine and cute image from 'Lies.' The song discusses thoughts a while after a break up and is powerful, which makes it an addictive song. We are performing it on the 18th's KBS Music Bank, MBC Music Core, and SBS's Inkigayo. Please look forward to a great performance," they said.
