I guess many international fans don't understand why the numbers in the news are always inflated. This is called 'media play' in Korea, and it is used by most, if not all, celebrities and agencies, not just T-ara. CCM just tends to make things sound too unbelievable and do it too often. It's a very helpful tool in the entertainment industry, but CCM sucks at using it.

[12.11.20] Quick News - Shinsadong Tiger, "Roly-Poly is named after Kim Kwangsoo's favorite candy"






On the November 20th broadcast of SBS' "Strong Heart", T-ara's composer Shinsadong Tiger revealed the story behind creating "Roly-Poly". Shinsadong Tiger said, "I had a trip in Japan and it unexpectedly got extended, so the production schedule for this song was delayed. When I arrived in Korea, T-ara's CEO said "It's difficult because we're behind schedule now." I didn't even write a song yet, but he told me, "Start writing."
Shinsadong Tiger continued and said without doing anything, he went straight to T-ara's agency. Shinsadong Tiger said, "I went straight to their agency after arriving at Gimpo airport. We all gathered together and wrote a song but we all were saying 'song title... song title...' because we had no idea what to name it. But then I remembered something about T-ara's CEO (Kim Kwangsoo). He always had treats on his desk named Roly-Poly."
Shinsadong Tiger also revealed the story behind the dance of "Roly-Poly". "It's a lot from Boom at MC events. Boom did improvisation dances that we saw and it was so good. That's how 'Roly-Poly' dance was born."

[12.11.16] Eunjung “Want to forget it all. Please withdraw the sanctions against Five Fingers’ Production Company”


- Heard about the sanctions against Five Fingers’ production company while promoting in Japan
- Told the Management Entertainment Association “Want to forget it all”



T-ara’s Eunjung has requested the Management Entertainment Agency to withdraw its boycott of Five Fingers’ production company YEIN E&M.
The Korean Entertainment Management Association (KEMA), in any interview with eDaily StarIn on the afternoon of the 16th, said about its sanction procedure against YEIN E&M “A sudden change in variable occurred after the news spread that we had sent out documents [regarding YEIN E&M to our members], right now, our procedure is put on halt.” A related person from KEMA said “It is because T-ara’s Eunjung, who is currently promoting in Japan, has requested KEMA to withdraw the sanctions against Five Fingers’ production company YEIN E&M regarding the dispute about her being forced off the drama.”
This afternoon, Eunjung expressed to KEMA “Putting aside right or wrong, I want to put down everything related to Five Fingers and forget it all. If the sanctions against the production company can be withdrawn, then let’s just pretend this did not happen.”
Because of Eunjung’s request, KEMA is currently figuring out how to solve this problem. YEIN E&M had forced an actor to leave after completion of contract signing, poster shooting, script reading and the press conference, so this cannot be seen only as a problem between one actor and one production company. To prevent similar things from happening again in the future, KEMA decided to respond by taking boycotting measures. Another related person said “Although Eunjung’s opinion should be placed first in resolving this issue, but from KEMA’s perspective, some measures have to be put into place to prevent this from happening again in the future.”
Today, KEMA had delivered documents to its members and member companies (around 130) regarding Five Finger’s unilateral termination of Eunjung. The document said “We were determined to rectify the normal drama production relations and had requested for the actor’s return to the drama and for an undertaking not to allow such things to happen again, but YEIN as usual remained silent, avoiding responsibility and deceiving our Association”, “We hope that our members will confirm with our Association first before deciding to appear in YEIN E&M productions. It is our plan to implement this for 2 years (until December 2014)." [in effect meaning that without any special reasons, KEMA members should not appear in YEIN E&M dramas.]
This measure is the follow up to Eunjung's sudden termination from SBS’s drama Five Fingers in August. At the time, KEMA and the Korean Broadcasting and Actors Union (KBAU) had, on the 28th, issued its protests against SBS and Five Fingers’ production company YEIN E&M for forcing Eunjung off the drama. YEIN E&M had also expressed its stance, stating that it would take strong legal measures if Eunjung’s side continues to make unreasonable propositions. The two sides were always in opposition.

Original article: http://news.nate.com.../20121116n19835
More of Eunjung's response from other articles:
"I do not want more people to be harmed because of me. Thinking back, the production company could have suffered a lot of damage because of me. Although I am grateful for KEMA's decision to protect actors, now that it is all in the past, I hope this can end well."
http://news.nate.com.../20121116n26855
A related person from CCM said "Although we were very angry at the time, it is already in the past. Eunjung wants to greet everyone in a good production in the future. She hopes that this incident can end smoothly and satisfactorily."

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





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.

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





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.
