[13.07.14] T-ara's Soyeon passes the leadership title to Qri!


Girl group T-ara has replaced leader Soyeon with Qri. This is the norm for T-ara and Qri will be the group's fifth leader.

T-ara's agency revealed that coming with T-ara's next album release and the departure of Areum, Qri will replace Soyeon as the leader. Following Eunjung, Boram, Hyomin and Soyeon, Qri will be the fifth leader of the group.

T-ara's agency said to OSEN on the 14th, "Replacing the leader when activities changed in the group is part of the group. Qri will be the new leader for the upcoming activities."

The announcement comes after Soyeon held the leader title from January 2012, approximately one and a half years later. On the 13th, Qri held the stage at the Budokan arena in Tokyo, Japan for the first time.

Qri said on the day of the show, "I really enjoyed today as my first day as leader and want fans to look forward to a brighter T-ara." The auditorium filled with 9,000 fans applauded and cheered for her.

Meanwhile, for the first time in three years, T-ara returns back to their original six member line up. They are working on collecting songs for a comeback late next year. For now, T-ara's junior group 5dolls is going to have a comeback instead.

On the 10th, it was announced that Areum would leave T-ara for a solo career.

Anyone else are reminded of Hyomin, Eunjeung & Jiyeon's 'Choo Choo Train' performance in Budokan 2012? That was practically the sub unit plus Ahreum..

Anyway, I'm just happy that news sites are throughly analyzing something that may or may not actually be in their comeback (she could be buying stuff for their summer Japan concert or souvenirs for her friends for all we know), its free advertising for the new unit... and it's not negative for a change.
I'm not sure if there is any correlation but ever since the news on the new unit came out, T-ara songs are surging up and down again in the GOMTV top 100 charts (counted 10 once), Roly Poly even almost got into top ten.. You may like the new sub-unit or not but it sure has created some interest for T-ara.

[13.04.04] T-ara's 4-member unit to debut with "Rural Life" in early May


7-member girl group T-ara will promote as a unit.

T-ara will debut a unit consisting of Eunjung, Hyomin, Jiyeon and Areum and they recently finished recording their song and are now preparing for their activities. They are trying to debut as early as the end of this month with "Rural Life".

T-ara debuted in 2009 with "Lies" and on their Japanese single "Bunny Style!" which they recently released in Japan, they first tried units. The units were Soyeon-Areum, Boram-Qri and Hyomin-Jiyeon-Eunjung. The songs were all included as bonus tracks for various singles. This will be T-ara's first time doing a formal unit activity.

What is T-ara's reason for doing a unit? The reason for T-ara to do the unit's activity is actually because since Hwayoung withdrew from the group last year, many fans were torn by the news at T-ara's height of popularity. T-ara will form this unit to try and mend the hearts of millions of fans again. Unit groups have been popular lately with Sistar19, 2YOON, ZE:A5, Infinite-H, and various other groups.

The song "Rural Life" is produced by the hitmaker Double Sidekick T-ara will appeal to several generations, both young and old, and both men and women with their new unit song. T-ara plan to create a national dance similar to the "Roly-Poly" craze that they did with two years ago.

Two lead singers, one sub vocalist, one rapper, so now sub-unit trend is also hitting T-ara, I hope this would turn out good, perhaps this was decided to allow for Areum to have more exposure.
Short to say, Boram, Qri and Soyeon will have other works like doing MCs, dramas-acting or even releasing more solo singles?
Is Dani fitting anytime soon?

[12.08.30] T-ara to comeback with 7th mini-album "MIRAGE" on September 3rd





Girl group T-ara will release their seventh mini album "MIRAGE" on September 3rd.
Their agency Core Contents Media said today, "T-ara's new title song was composed by Shinsadong Tiger and written by Choi Kyusung who are the same people who made T-ara's 'Bo Peep Bo Peep' and 'Roly-Poly'."
T-ara originally announced they would release a new song in mid-August but it was delayed three weeks.
Core Contents Media said, “We decided to comeback now because we couldn't stand postponing it any longer due to the controversy which happened that had no perpetrator and no victim but only misunderstandings upon misunderstandings.”
On the 28th and 29th, tweets were sent from T-ara and Hwayoung and caused a crazy bullying controversy that confused the public and fans. They have since apologized and wish that fans can continue to support them in the future.
Their agency said, "T-ara has been silent for one month since the misunderstanding between the members happened and have reflected on their actions that lead to the controversy they created. They want to express their sincerest apologies."



They continued by saying, "It was a misunderstanding between Hwayoung and the other members, and they have reconciled and apologized to each other."
T-ara will be busying beginning on September 15th until November with overseas concert schedules in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan.
Core Contents Media said, "The misunderstanding and conflict that happened in front of so many people, T-ara bow their heads and are incredibly sorry and said they'll work hard to avoid and better deal with these issues."

T-ara release handwritten announcement of apology





"We write this letter after much deliberation.The past month has felt longer than the time it took us to debut and the time we've promoted under all of your love.First, we would like to honestly apologize for making so many concerned.We admit that we were immature in not being able to resolve our differences in opinions within the group and letting it out publicly, and we are all reflecting on it together.We deeply apologize for acting without thought.If we had understood each other, shared, and acted more maturely, none of this would have happened..We think that thought every day in misery.Looking back, we've always overcome any hardships together while chasing the same dream, and it breaks our heart to think that all of those good memories are being seen in a bad light.We also think that Hwayoung must have gone through a hard time for being misunderstood as being ostracized.We were all surprised at a result none of us thought or wanted and feel upset that we can no longer be together again.We hope that Hwayoung no longer has to face any pain again.We apologize to everyone for concerning everyone with this issue and disappointing those that loved our music.This hardship was an opportunity of learning for us.We are supposed to be the strength of many, and have now learned how much responsibility we have on our shoulders, as well as how responsibly we must act.To our parents, who live for us, and our fans, who will remain by us until the end to love our music...And to everyone we disappointed, we want to work hard so that our apology will be accepted.We are genuinely sorry. We ask that you also give your everlasting support and love to Hwayoung, who must have had a harder time than us.We will always support Hwayoung no matter what.From all of T-ara.

[12.08.03] T-ara are victims of reckless reporters





T-ara are victims of unconfirmed reports in the media.
Recently, the bullying situation began with a few tweets and reports saying Hwayoung was bullied in T-ara. Suspicions that idol groups have bullying in them have been around forever, and didn't just start yesterday. But the recent bullying accusations have exploded and attracted more attention than ever before.
A problem that lies within this is that there is so much interest in the case, that reports are being published in the press just to increase views and clicks on their website which is the wrong attitude.
To confirm the allegations that first began about bullying, netizens went and dug up various things that happened in the past. Excerpts from various different broadcasts were brought up through screen-captures and questioned, but they were not originally a problem when they first aired. The reports spread throughout the media were written without going through a verification process. Reports that were contacting representatives from the broadcasts were also hard to find.
In addition to making screen-captures of various broadcasts, rumors have been circulating about T-ara. False and malicious rumors, such as "gangs" and the like, have been circulating online because of "netizens suspicions," but like the screen-captures, they have not been verified. The "trainee" was proven to be false, and the "back-dancer" report as well, but both spread before any confirmation had been done. Some even have gone far to force evidence and say that Hwayoung left a hidden message, "fans only know," in her Twitter message but the truth is it's different depending on where you look at the image.
Websites gain revenue through clicks on ads on their website, and these reckless and unprofessional reports being spread attract attention and revenue for whoever reports it.
The bullying allegations first started on July 28th through Twitter messages and continued until the 2nd. T-ara related searches dominated every popular search ranking on various portal sites. The Olympics began, but T-ara's scandal has attracted more attention and higher interest. The topic located at the center is that journalists recklessly report things posted online without getting confirmation just for a few more clicks on their website.
Hwayoung recently posted on Twitter, "Please stop now and look forward to when I'll return with a new more mature and sophisticated image." The situation is at a point where it's finally calmed down.

SBS PD is a Production Designer from the Korean tv channel SBS they are the people who run a show/drama/program.
Remember this is just a PD from SBS and not the SBS Head of programming coming out and saying they won't cast t-ara members.

SURE how can they be sad that she is leaving the group if they KICKED HER OUT. This is it seriously and I just bought the album gosh I loved her she got way better at rapping she was the master of rap now

seriously?
What did Hwayoung do that deserved this? =_= What kind of crack pot people did KKS interview?
This is weird, odd and stupid. Stupidest timing to send someone off. Should've at least cleared up the misunderstanding, a few months in and then announce this termination.
Nice job CCM, you just made T-ara into a laughing stock. Nice going.
