I was wondering where Hyomin went but was totally stoked to see that Boram got to take over her parts in the first verse. My little kween is getting so much love lately!!! I might add that I was really impressed with her, I could hear her singing live.
-

:D :D 
:lol: Hahaha I know, I love her laugh! It put the biggest smile on my face to see her laugh out loud like that.
I seriously cannot WAIT to see this, it looks like it's gonna be awesome!!!

T-ara's quickly gaining on Sistar, they should be number one on Instiz within a few hours. The only charts they aren't currently topping are Melon's Daily and Real-Time charts (number 3 on both right now), MNet's Daily chart (number 4), Cyworld's Daily chart (hasn't been updated yet), Naver's Daily chart (number 6), Soribada's Daily chart (hasn't been updated yet), and Monkey3's Daily chart (number 4). They're number one on all other charts. This is the best they've done immediately after the release of a new single, that deserves congratulations! This shows just how strong T-ara has become since "Roly-Poly." I have no doubt that "Day By Day" will join "Lovey-Dovey" on the year-end top ten lists, if not exceed it.

It's out, and it's amazing!!! Easily their best effort yet. Go to allkpop's forums if you can't find it, there are threads there with the vid in full!!!

Honestly, they sound better pre-recorded, but that's not a surprise considering the huge amounts of autotune that are usually used in their songs. The girls CAN sing well, and I've heard all of them but Qri give decent live performances at one point or another, but with songs like Roly-Poly and Lovey-Dovey, where the girls are having to sing outside of their natural range while doing fairly exhausting dances, it can be difficult to sing live decently. T-ara's not the only one, though...they just seem to get picked on a lot more for it for whatever reason.
The only artists I know of who sound just as good live as they do pre-recorded are artists like Mariah Carey and the like, who do next to no choreography during their performances. They're also usually boring as sin to watch, lol.
-
The performance was so good! You can tell that this was a special day for them, those girls were giving it their all. They had to be emotional knowing that this was their last live performance as seven. Still, it's good to see them so energetic and fresh looking, I guess they're as revved up for their comeback as the fans are!

I'm not attacking u or anything but I really don't get this mentality. Everyone said the same thing about Hwayoung and now everyone loves her. I'm really disappointed that a lot of the fans share this mentality. They are even spamming the Youtube teaser with negative votes because of it. So sad. I hope that everyone will embrace the two new girls soon like we all did with Hwayoung...
I agree for the most part, but to some extent I feel like some fans still fear that the new girls may take one or more of the existing member's places...hence, why I think some fans are having a harder time accepting them as members than others. Personally, I'm not really thrilled with the additions as I really didn't see the need for them in the first place since T-ara was doing fine as a seven member group...but at the same time I'm not going to lose any more sleep over it either. In time I'm sure I'll grow to love them as a part of the group, and so will other fans, it'll just take time.

True, the pictures didn't do Dani justice, especially that teaser photo with her and Hyomin holding those swords. That picture really made her seem 'unfit' to play a role in that MV. However, just because she looked like she could fit in with T-ara in that teaser doesn't really say much about her musical career. I can't really say much about the acting part since this is, after all, a teaser. But her smile at the end, was very pretty.
Haha, that's why I made it clear in my post that it would take more than a teaser to sell me on her inclusion.
-
Poor girls...the craziness never ends for them! I really hope they'll be able to get some R&R in-between their several comebacks this year.
-
I have been utterly blown away!!!
First of all, I love that the setting of the music vid has a dystopian feel to it...when I first heard that the video was going to have a futuristic setting and saw some of the teaser pics I automatically jumped to something like Britney Spears' "Toxic" video as a reference. And while I still see some of its influence here (the girls' hair and outfits primarily), this looks much very much like it was inspired by Mad Max, as was reported. I also see a lot of Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger here.
Secondly, while I'm still not thrilled about the additions, I can sort of see what KKS was saying when he called Dani an "unrefined jewel." Her pictures don't do her justice, she is a lovely young girl. It's going to take a lot more than a teaser to sell me on her inclusion, but so far, so good. I wish she didn't have so much screen time in the teaser either, but I can also see why they decided to feature her so prominently; it's their way of letting the fans know that she fits well into T-ara's overall aesthetic and not to worry, that they're not COMPLETELY inept. It seems to be working, too; I've noticed that a lot of people have rescinded their initial opinions of Dani based on this teaser alone.
Third, while I'm happy to see the EunHyoJi trifecta looking as good as ever, I would have loved to see Boram, Qri, Hwayoung, Soyeon, and Areum in this teaser as well...even if it's just bit roles, I think now more than ever CCM needs to be enforcing that T-ara is now a group of nine, and as such things are going to need to change to accomodate that. This is a really good time to be addressing issues such as screen time and line distribution, especially since it was such a huge problem when there were only seven of them...I can only imagine how it's going to be if things keep going the way they have with nine girls. Obviously there are girls that will receive more attention within the group, but that doesn't mean that Boram, Qri, and Hwayoung aren't any less deserving of some spotlight time as well. I'm not sure why Soyeon and Areum weren't featured...you'd think that with Soyeon gaining so much popularity over the past several months and Areum joining promotions before Dani that CCM would want to get them a little bit of screen time as well.
I know this sounds like a bit of a rant, but all in all, I was extremely impressed with this teaser. I wasn't sure what to think when I heard that "Day By Day" would be a sci-fi video since they can be notoriously hard to execute if there isn't proper budget and you don't know what the hell you're doing, but this looks amazing. The song itself sounds amazing too, and I love that T-ara has opted to go back to their Absolute First Album roots and give us a dark, sexy, sad song, since it's what they do best. Amazingly enough, it fits in well with the video, which I wasn't sure it would, but the video's harder edge and the song's sadness combine to give the whole package kind of a hopeless, melancholy feeling...and I think that's exactly what they were shooting for.
For all intents and purposes it looks like T-ara will survive the craziness that's been surrounding them, as it looks like, for the most part, anticipation for both this song and video are almost universal. Well done, T-ara. And KKS...if you know what's good for you, you'll stop messing with T-ara from here on out. You mIght have been able to pull this off once but don't go crazy adding and subtracting members in the future, or you really WILL ruin them as a group. Leave well enough alone, since we all know that T-ara's pretty much all CCM has at this point. Mess with them too much and you'll be SOL.

Wow, this is great news for her! I know she's been getting a lot of attention since "Cry Cry," so I'm glad to see her hard work is culminating by her finally getting a recurring drama role. For some reason I think she'll do very well, Soyeon usually doesn't mess around when it comes to her job lol. Still pretty upset that this is going to be (yet) one more thing for the girls to have to squeeze into their already too tightly packed schedule, but hopefully this is where Areum's supposedly completely amazing voice will come into play...if she's supposed to take some of the weight off of Soyeon like KKS claims, this means that Soyeon might be able to focus on her drama and won't necessarily have to be present at all of the group's performances like it seems she's had to be in the past. One reason that I think Soyeon never took an acting role earlier is because the group relies on her and her voice too much...that's why she's always present, or if she can't be present then things get cancelled (like when she contracted H1N1 and promotions for "Like The First Time" were completely cancelled). Anyways, if Areum and Soyeon share co-billing as the main vocalists, that means that if one of the girls has solo or separate activities to do that overlap with the group's schedule then the other one can pick up the slack. Sounds good to me anyways, lol
Guess I'm just trying to see the positive here. -
When I meant reassured, I was specifically referring to the idea of a boycott there since you gave out a solid argument on why it would be counterproductive, among others but I won't dwell too much further into it.
Considering that the K-fans also don't seem to be doing much (at least to my knowledge), we also can't discount the possibility that the girls themselves even question the loyalty of their fans in regards to the incompetence of CCM and it's not like they have free time to surf the web to be fully aware themselves. Diadems itself is a small fandom alone and it's not like the T-ara members are fluent in English. Regardless of how much they want to pursue their careers, there's a clear limit on how much punishment a human body can tolerate (and in Boram's case, it looks like it's dangerously close than the others).
Hell, I'd even say they lost more than gained in the long run than other popular female idol groups out there (GG, 2NE1, Kara, WG) in terms of health and stability - while these groups themselves are also overworked themselves, never did I recall any of them having a bigger rate of trips to the hospital due to being overworked more than T-ara.
Frankly, I'd even rather see them disband or split up than have to work under such conditions any longer.
Ultimately, I believe that the fans should be more concerned for the health, wellbeing etc. of T-ara (as well as the members' opinions themselves - honest ones at that) rather than soaring popularity as the latter is a highly double-bladed issue in their case - the unfortunate thing is (at least in my opinion), it seems to be the other way around with many.
Ohhhh, gotcha. Haha sorry, I was a bit confused with your choice of wording.
I agree that their health and well-being should definitely come first, and if they were to disband because they wanted to then I would support them one-hundred percent. But I'm also trying to take into account the fact that it's just not that simple; if it were it would have happened by now. I'm just at the point where I feel it's dangerous to assume anything except that the girls need a vacation and a new CEO or label. This whole situation is just too complicated to be making assumptions on anything though; it's quite easy to say that the girls' physical well-being comes before their hopes and dreams, but it's a completely different thing when you're told you may have to choose between one or the other, and most people aren't going to choose what you might consider to be the obvious answer because, quite frankly, there isn't one in the case, because it's a hard decision to make...they have to choose what's more important to them: a normal, healthy life at the expense of having to give up everything they worked so hard to achieve along with the possibility that they will probably never be able to work in that industry again, or continuing to weather a storm that they hope they can one day rise above.
The only thing I'm sure of at this point is that the seven girls who I've grown to love will always have my support, no matter what they do. I will buy Day By Day, just as I have bought all of their albums up to this point. I will pray that they achieve the best possible outcome in this whole situation and that, at the end of the day, they are able to find happiness in whatever it is that they decide to do. But that's all I'm sure of, and for the time being that's how I'm going to approach this whole situation, because ultimately nobody will truly know anything concrete until this story reaches it conclusion, and let's face it, it's far from over with.

@FreakyFlyBri - Thanks for the info and your discussion. It was highly appreciated
Admittedly, my faith in the group had been terribly shaken off the cliff over time and moreso, I don't even consider myself a fan of T-ara anymore (that is until all hell breaks loose on CCM when that lawsuit occurs....whenever that will happen), plus can't help but be highly pessimistic of the issue here - up to the point I even thought the chances of a lawsuit occurring may diminish considering they likely don't even have the time to plan for one. Hell, I even rooted for other groups to beat T-ara in sales and awards (despite how meaningless some of those awards can actually be) at one point.
Needless to say, you're words have reassured me a lot - though I would disagree Miss A and f(x) are potentially likely to overthrow T-ara's spot indefinitely (compared to being T-ara as CCM's flagship, Miss A isn't exactly a top tier group even in JYP when compared with the WG whereas f(x) is arguably the most least popular group in SM and even with Electric Shock, it's still too early to really guess they'd go up to T-ara's popularity) but that's a wholly different topic so I wont' dwell further into it.
It seems like I've overestimated T-ara's staying power after all.
Come to think of it, I think this may be the very reason why KKS deliberately prevented an official fandom of occurring for so long until this summer - I don't know about the K-fans, but looking at how the fandom here is torn apart, that's just what KKS would want - to nullify whatever possible organized effort can be taken from the fans themselves. If T-ara had its own official fandom much earlier, chances are fans would have taken much more definite and organized action and provided a major headache towards KKS - obviously, he doesn't want that.
I don't know how many fans have lost their interest in T-ara but he clearly has an ulterior motive in having opening ceremony of T-ara's official fandom is this particular season.
Hopefully the group itself will take action sooner or later as you say. The longer they stay in that pathetic excuse of a company (which goes to say, the recent 5dolls scandal makes it look like the internal affairs in CCM is pretty nasty), the more things are just going to get harder.
I don't know why my words would reassure you...it's a shame that the girls are probably going to take a hit from all of this mess considering that they didn't even have any hand in perpetuating it in the first place. I don't want them to have to suffer because of somebody else's foolish choices. As far as hoping other groups beat T-ara for sales or awards, I know how hard they worked for everything they accomplished...I remember tearing up a little bit when they took that deep bow after their first win on Music Bank in over 2 years for "Lovey-Dovey" because I knew how much it meant to them. At that moment you could tell that, to them anyways, all of the blood, sweat and tears they had shed over the past six months had finally come to fruition for them. That's why I can't wish that they don't have success on them either...no matter how horrid the situation is right now, I know that to some extent they are still doing what they love, and that sense of accomplishment probably makes it all worthwhile for them. Knowing that your fans love you and are rooting for you is sometimes a huge motivator to get things done, regardless of whether it's just swallowing a horrible, jagged little pill or deciding that enough is enough and getting out of a bad situation.

All things considered, I'd even argue that the girls don't even care much whether if this new album will be a success or not - they know their popularity is at its peak and frankly, it's likely in their best interest to simply get a long-deserved vacation before anything else. 3 years of tooth-and-nail work with only a single one-week-long vacation? I think it's pretty clear by now that they know what they want as first priority regardless of the consequences.
Regarding Temptastic and YaYaYa, do also note that T-ara wasn't as popular back then compared to as of now - plus from what I recall, not many people were even aware T-ara was severely overworked at the time, considering that it wasn't until at least the Roly Poly promotions when a few eyebrows were raised.
I'm not sure how they were forced to work harder during the months between Temptastic and the Roly Poly era (other than Eun Jung being in DH1, not to mention I don't watch variety shows) so some info on that is well-appreciated.
If KKS does drive them to work even harder if this upcoming album sells poorly, it'll only just raise the chances of T-ara of taking legal action themselves - additionally, the Korean government itself has been intervening into the ent. industry lately ever since the Open World Ent. scandal became known - even as of now, there's laws being proposed and taken into discussion - such as limiting the amount of hours dramas are allowed to film per day and actors/actresses receiving compensations if such rules are broken - I'm not sure if this also includes idol actresses but it's a very likely case (Eun Jung, Ji Yeon and Hyomin would benefit from this) and following that, more laws taken to protecting idols are likely to follow sooner or later.
Bottom line, a boycott will just accelerate things up a bit if KKS works them off even harder as a result of it - and raises the chance of a lawsuit coming out in the front paper. With the government intervention occurring as well, the timing can't be any better.
Agreed that Kpop is indeed fickle but frankly, what other group is out there that can steal T-ara's place by now? The ones only above T-ara are SNSD and 2NE1 and with WG and KARA on the same tier (or somewhere around that though KARA is easily the top tier in Japan) - I'd call that relatively stable since neither of those 4 other groups are likely to lose their spot very easily to lower-tier groups out there - T-ara's also a certain case, regardless of how idiotic CCM has been lately. The only group at current that has potential to take T-ara's position is likely f(x) but even that's doubtful since SM's been pretty sloppy with them for a while, regardless how much of an 'upgrade' Electric Shock is from their previous tracks.
I highly doubt that the girls are at the point that they just don't care anymore; if that were the case they would've spoken up and said something about everything going on by now, even if it was at the risk of being kicked out of the group. Obviously some of the girls are more invested in their careers as idols than others, but to say that they simply don't care if their albums or singles don't sell well is reaching...they wanted the success they've earned, they worked hard for it, and although I know they are still in dire need of a vacation it probably isn't as cut and dry as "I don't think they care if they flop at this point or not, they just want a vacation." There are a lot of variables and factors unknown to us since we don't work in the entertainment industry and I'm pretty sure that one reason the girls have been so reticent to speak up as of late is because they DO care what people think of them and how well they fare, as well as how it would affect their careers. Yes, they want a vacation...but they also want to keep their jobs, and there's more to it than just being forced to tow the line. They can leave if they want to, and for some reason they haven't yet. They're either trying to see if they can just deal with the changes and learn to accept them or biding their time until they're able to form a united front and deal with this in such a way that they can affect change without risking everything they've worked so hard for...but if they simply didn't care we'd be seeing the disarray in the group in some way, shape or form. Their speaking out got them in trouble once; instead of getting what they hoped for they nearly lost everything they worked so hard to obtain, so I have a feeling there's more to it than meets the eye.
Temptastic and "Yayaya" were indeed considered disappointments as the girls had just had a pretty successful run with their Breaking Heart repackage (it and Absolute First Album have sold nearly 100,000 physical units combined) and "I Go Crazy Because Of You," which ended up being one of the biggest hits in Korea in 2010. Factor in that "TTL" and "Bo Peep Bo Peep" were sizeable hits for them in 2009 and it shows that they had built up a lot more momentum than many actually realized. So to go from that to not even cracking the top 100 most downloaded songs of the year with "Yayaya" and not even shifting 40,000 units sold with Temptastic was a tumble for them. They were on target to become one of the bigger groups to come out of 2009 and for a short time lost some steam to f(x) and even Miss A. There were other factors involved as well, including Jiyeon's scandal and Hwayoung's addition, which either did nothing to help the group or harmed the group's image pretty badly. But I digress. Relating that to the fact that T-ara seemed to have to work doubly as hard afterward, it became pretty apparent that T-ara was having to promote so extensively for "Roly-Poly" due to not only their own recent stumble but Co-Ed School and 5doll's inability to meet T-ara's success upon their own respective debuts. It was around this time that KKS realized that T-ara was indeed his moneymaker and began milking them for all they were worth while neglecting his other groups in the process. Co-Ed, SPEED, and 5dolls have all had time to debut or come back in the past year, yet we've heard nothing from them while T-ara has come back 4 times in the past year alone.
And I'm sorry, but you and I just don't see eye to eye on the boycott issue. It's good to know that laws protecting idols are coming into play, and ultimately that's how this needs to work out...hopefully less abrasive measures can be taken to protect groups like T-ara, who are vulnerable and need their voices to be heard. Like I said, there are just too many variables at play to risk the girl's careers by orchestrating a boycott, though. At this point most fans realize that KKS is not just messing with the girls but with the fans themselves; who's to say that he won't take action by COMPLETELY ruining T-ara or disbanding them? I don't think he's the most stable man in the world and a boycott would likely just send him over the edge, along with whatever price T-ara themselves would have to pay for its failure. He blames them for EVERYTHING that goes wrong, and I imagine he'd find some way to pin this on them as well. Saying that we should orchestrate a boycott and hope that it brings about a positive result is really reckless as far as I'm concerned as we have absolutely no idea what the end outcome will actually be. A lawsuit is almost surely coming one way or another, but I doubt a boycott would move it along any further. It's extremist and no better than the fans who cause black oceans at concerts or send threatening letters to people who speak badly of their biases. There are better ways to get the desired results; more often than not actions like this just do more harm than good.
When I say T-ara isn't stable I mean that they don't have the same amenities that the girl groups you mentioned above have, with the exception of KARA, who doesn't come from the big 3. They don't have a major label backing them, they just now are about to get their very own fanclub, so there is no unity or stability amongst the fans right now, and furthermore, T-ara's fandom is in a state of absolute, utter chaos. Nobody agrees on anything, people are bailing out left and right due to the changes, pretty much all the momentum T-ara had gained over the past year has come to a screeching halt. Considering that many wagered that T-ara would probably be amongst the top 2 groups had they just been left alone and allowed to come back in the summer as planned, it's pretty disconcerting that other groups like f(x) (who have shown that they are a contender with "Electric Shock") or Miss A are waiting in the wings to swap out with someone who even makes one misstep. Even Sistar has shown themselves to be formidable with the release of "Alone." Add to that that groups like Dal Shabet, A Pink, and even Nine Muses are growing in popularity, and there really is no room for missteps right now. The only group I would truly consider "safe" at this point really is SNSD, and even they're reaching what I would consider the apex of their fame. Ultimately my point is that a group can fall into obscurity just as quickly as they can attain relevancy, and with T-ara's predicament being so complicated I wonder just how much they could survive before it was all too much. They've overcome a lot of obstacles but this is a huge mess that even groups like SNSD or 2NE1 would have a hard time with; with T-ara being relatively new to the big leagues and already having a past record for inconsistency I just don't know if they could handle member additions, a complete overhaul, and a poor-selling album. Stronger groups have disbanded over far, far less.
Anyways, it's pretty much a moot point at this time and junction; I see no reason for a boycott since I'm pretty sure T-ara's digital and physical sales are going to take a pretty good hit regardless of what the fans do. I don't see this selling as well as Black Eyes, Funky Town, or Breaking Heart; if anything they'll be lucky to break 25,000 and I don't see "Day By Day" outperforming "Lovey Dovey" or "Cry Cry" on the charts. It's not because I don't think the material isn't good; I'm very anxious to hear the finished results of "Day By Day" and am sure that their new mini will be fantastic, I just think that all of the ridiculous changes are going to take its toll on the group's newfound success. And that's how it should be...if the album isn't meeting the same levels of success that the group had during the Black Eyes/Funky Town eras, that's going to be enough of a wakeup call for KKS. And it's not going to sell as well, let's be honest here. They're already in a pretty bad situation; something like boycotting is simply pouring salt on the wound.

I swear, I've seen Boram wearing that hoodie in a TON of their LD performances. She must love it a lot. XD
The performance was good, it's not as sharp as some of their other performances for the song (namely the Korean ones) but it's good to see them still promoting LD! It's helping, too-Jewelry Box is relatively stable on the charts when compared to some of their singles, which fell out of the top forty pretty quickly. It's at number 13 today and is in its third week on the Oricon albums chart...not bad!
-
Areum isn't 14.
The only way to make him listen to the fans if the fans themselves organize a boycott against T-ara's album next month - as much as it would put a huge damage on T-ara as a whole, it's the only way that can knock some sense into him.
T-ara isn't going to be disbanded or become a huge flop over one album having bad sales as they're among the top tier groups in Korea so I'd say it's worth a shot. The main source of income is of course, from the fans - if the fans organize something of their own against him, then definite results occur.
A lot of fans aren't going to do that simply because it's simultaneously punishing the girls who didn't do anything to deserve it. 7-ara didn't ask for this, and for fans to simply boycott the album isn't just going to hurt the new members; it's going to hurt the other seven as well. I'm sure their morale is already low and if they perceive this boycott as their fans abandoning them in droves, I can only imagine how harmful that blow would be to their self-esteem. Plus when an album underperforms KKS simply makes them work harder; after Temptastic and "Yayaya" underperformed he seemed to make the girls work twice as hard to make up for lost revenue. It may make things even worse than they are now. No, the only way it's really going to get any better for them is if they take legal action against CCM and sue for better working conditions and fair treatment or just try to get out of their contracts completely and join another label. Plus K-Pop is fickle; T-ara may be top-tier, but their status has never been viewed as very stable when compared to groups like SNSD and 2NE1, so they may not recover if their next album does poorly. Competition is very stiff right now and for every group that successfully makes it to the top of the food chain there are five groups nipping at your heels and trying to get a piece of the action.
TL;DR: It won't work.

Here comes the whiny 14 year old, who had no interest or prior training in singing or dancing before being selected to be in the group, wanting to be on stage with established members in less than half a year of training. She clearly just wants to get all the fame and attention that T-ara has earned over the years without having to wait until December to do it. She wants to get on stage so she can hear people cheer for her and shout out her name without a clear understanding of how the Korean music industry works as well as how she'll possibly be perceived. I feel quite sorry for her as she comes across as not having a clue about what she's getting into. I seriously hope they reconsider her joining the group as she seems to be giving CCM a headache already with her request. She has no regard of how her joining the group can affect the others and is solely concerned about getting on stage just to be there. Exactly what I'd expect out of a 14 year old but not a future member of T-ara.
I hate to admit it but this is kind of how I feel. This girl needs to stop and remember what she said just a few weeks ago...she wanted to wait until December so she can practice and not bring the other group members down. This is thoughtless behavior on her behalf, simply because a general schedule has been prepared for the girls for the rest of the year and I'm sure that her putting in to debut sooner is just going to mess that up. And what happens with the music they've already recorded? I'm sure they've pretty much got all of the music that they were going to release for the rest of the year in the can or almost finished; I can only imagine how much time and money it's going to take if she wants to debut and they have to re-record music simply to include her. Then there is the choreography they may have to relearn to accomodate Dani, and this just becomes more and more of a clusterf*** every day. Homegirl needs to slow down and give the fans time to get used to the idea of her. This mess that KKS has perpetuated by shoving her in everyone's face is just getting so tired. People can complain about Areum not really making herself all that known all they want, but at least she has a certain level of mystery to her. Dani's old news and she hasn't even debuted yet. #Truestory
What's this about new Japan album?
Are they preparing a repackage for Japan?
It's too much work if they do all these Korean comebacks on top of Japan comeback. I thought they wouldn't go back to Japan until early next year since.
I'm guessing it's either that or they're going to go the BigBang route and just translate their upcoming material into Japanese and release it a month or two later. I figured we'd get more Japanese material before year's end, this is CCM we're talking about. Lol.

Haha, Roly-Poly really is something magical...it appeals to people of every race, age, color and sexual orientation. Case in point? Queen Kyary! I never would have pegged her as a Queen, but therein lies the power of T-ara.
Regardless of what anyone says I think that their foray into Japan has been pretty damn successful! They've been getting all sorts of attention lately.

For me, she looks badass. Wearing all black holding a katana. She have that look that I'll get stabbed if I come any closer. And Hyomin isn't helping me get rid of that image with her pulling out the katana.
I'm curious what the other members will look like. All will be in the mv, right?
I really, really hope they'll all be in the MV, but I'm not getting my hopes up...Eunjung, Qri, and Jiyeon were the only three to make any sort of lead appearances in their Lovey Dovey drama MV. I want to see ALL of them though...
Anyways, both of them look good, loving Hyomin's look! Glad we know that she's featured more heavily in this MV since she was just given a small bit role in the Cry Cry drama video. Day By Day doesn't really fit well with the video they're going for, but Lovey Dovey didn't fit with the mini-gangster drama that they ultimately ended up filming, so that's not too much of a surprise.

Haha that was cute...Boram kinda looked like she was pissed during a lot of the performance while Hwayoung looked like she made a goof near the end of Lovey Dovey. I can only imagine how hard it is to perform in a stadium that hasn't been set up for a concert though...they did awesome considering that they were having to dance on grass, they probably couldn't hear themselves very well, and there were balls whizzing past them near the end of their performance because the players were getting ready to start back again. Love my girls!!!

Okay, she's way more acceptable than Dani, but I still don't get what CCM/KKS means by "T-ara's New Member of a Sexy Look" Trolololololol! Dani's picture had this too.Is he trying to prove that they can fit the sexy concept or something? Hahaha.
I don't know what I'm more worried about...T-ara abandoning the sexy concept forever because of a 14 year-old member, or T-ara continuing with the sexy concepts even with the 14 year-old!
Anyways, Areum is quite lovely...glad to hear that KKS is talking up her abilities as a performer instead of talking about her height, age, and how he plucked her off the street to be in T-ara. I'm starting to wonder if Dani will truly join T-ara too...I, like several others, have started to wonder if she's a decoy to help deflect some of the bad press away from Areum since KKS had to be aware how much hate Hwa got when she joined. Then again, this is KKS we're talking about, and he is dumb as hell. Lol
[12.07.13] T-ara's Hwayoung, “I want to be the queen of romantic comedies like Kim Suna”

Hwayoung truly has come such a long way since her debut...I remember how awkward, shy, and dare I say...messy she looked when she joined the group back in 2010, but she's really come into her own over the last few promotional cycles. She seems to be gaining more confidence and notoriety as a performer with each comeback, and that's exciting to hear that she wants to tackle acting in the future. I just hope she can be healthy about it since once she gets into it it'll probably affect her just as much as the other girls who simultaneously act and try to promote music with the group at the same time. But yeah, this interview has probably been one of the most candid ones yet, I'm surprised at how articulate she is!
So it looks like they've interviewed each member, meaning we still get interviews from Jiyeon, Hyomin, and Qri. Can't wait!
