Seeing how beautiful and cute the pictures are, it's a shame they did not produce any Christmas theme trading cards, posters or, dare I say, T-ara theme Christmas cards for sale for their charity event. I'm sure fans wouldn't mind getting their hands on T-ara merchandise while at the same time helping out with the charity drive.

The whole idea of being able to own something that once was owned and used by our girls is simply awesome. Judging by their sense of style and fashion, you know that those items are going to be just beautiful and worth owning. And since it's for charity, why not? In fact, I wouldn't mind just paying for that poster of the girls in their Christmas costumes. They are so cute!

Totally with you on the fun part. Personally, that is what I really love about this song and performances. It feels like T-ara is going back to their 'old' selves and the whole original concept of being a group that is known for its fun and catchy songs. It's such a joy to see them having fun and just enjoying themselves. Notice how much louder the fanchants and cheers in this performance is? It just adds a whole new dimension to the performance. Wish I could be there as well to scream my lungs out!

Well said! I'm glad to hear that at least for a change that someone is giving a little bit of credit to CCM and not constantly criticizing and bashing them. It's not to say that I am a big fan of CCM but I just don't think that they deserve all the hate that is directed at them. We are all humans and our decisions are never 100% right. Sometimes we get it right and sometimes we get it wrong. But to look at the overall picture, CCM have kept T-ara around for 4+ years, and in the highly competitive world of kpop, that is an achievement in itself. So to nit pick and criticize CCM on certain incidents and issues along the 4+years that T-ara have been around is really unfair and uncalled for. In the end, it is the agency that sets the direction, style and concepts that we have come to love about T-ara.

Whoa!! This is totally unexpected. Being a regular viewer of the MCountdown show, I can honestly and objectively say this is one of the best live performance on the show. I can't believe that they actually recreated the whole street scene on stage. The whole set up plus the backup dancers make for a really lively and fun performance. A real visual feast. Good job T-ara! An absolutely brilliant performance! Let's hope this amazing performance will equally be matched with a top placing the charts for the T-ara.

Interesting thought but I suspect is nothing more than Qri's great fashion and dress sense. Don't forget she is the group's princess and one can always trust Qri to look and dress well. Her great fashion sense was clearly shown when she excelled in some of the challenges in T-ara's reality show "T-ara Dot Com".

Really happy at how enjoyable this MV turned out to be. It brought back all the elements that made T-ara such a success in the first place. The MV has a catchy song, cute dance moves, it's funny and cute. The whole musical concept with backup dancers moving and dancing to a fun and upbeat song really brings everything together for a really fun MV. The colourful sets and costumes also adds to the whole theatrical atmosphere. Super cute moment for me is the incorporation of the bo peep bo peep dance and No9 dance moves. To see Boram and Eunjung re-visiting bpbp brought a big smile to my face! Most of all it's great to see the girls really having fun in the making of the MV.

This new MV has got potential written all over it for a great and memorable MV. Musical setting would suggest that there will be a storyline in the MV and I think most fans would enjoy another one of T-ara 'drama' MV. And Judging by the teaser images and roles portrayed by the girls, it's going to be a really interesting MV. Hope it reaches the legendary status of Roly Poly MV!

Wow doesn't even come close to describing how amazing the cover looks. Seriously, this is way better than my expectation. Everything looks great! The whole concept and the girls look just fantastic! Can't wait for the MV which will be even more mind blowing. Thanks for the upload!!!

Somehow, I've got high hopes for the new song. Mainly because the teaser pics are really amazing! This concept photo of Hyomin just looks fun. Hope the song is the same.

Yay!!! A 'remake' of Yayaya. No matter what people might say about the song, it's one of my all time favourite T-ara song and MV. The song and MV is just pure fun.

Looks like Christmas is coming early for us Queens! Another song for us to enjoy during the year end festivities and also to end the year. No need for promises such as melodies that the young, old and everyone to enjoy, I don't know about others but I have not been disappointed so far with any of T-ara so far. So, I'm sure I will enjoy this one too, and I suspect most T-ara fans will as well. Yeah, hope there will be great MV to go along with song. In addition to their songs, I really like the girls acting abilities as well. Double joy, great song plus MV. Pleeeease....

Nice to see the girls so relaxed, having fun and just enjoying the moment

What is this? Qri looks like some tribal princess. Wait.... what am I saying? She has always been a princess in my books. P.S. Apologies, if there are any cultural offence.

I've always love this song for the rapping from the dynamic duo of Hyomin and Eunjung. Really love it when they rap. Good to see them revisiting their old songs/hits

Yup, looks like abalone and the girls seem to be having a hard time with it. Jiyeon....you don't need to stab it with your chopsticks. It's already dead. It won't attack you . So cute, their struggles with the abalone and fascination with it!

Really anticipating this movie. My bias returns to the big screen...'nuff said!

Fantastic news!! T-ara coming back with more new songs. And as an added bonus they are going back to the retro style. How can one not be excited especially with how well their last retro concept in the form of Roly Poly turned out to be. I am also reminder of how well they covered RooRa's 'The Angel Who lost Wings' yet another old popular song from the 90's. To me, it was their best live singing performance by all the members. Hope this will mark the revival of T-ara of going back to their roots in coming up with fun and catchy songs. At least it will be good to have the overall fun feeling and enjoyable atmosphere that is so pervasive in T-ara's song. A feeling that seem to be missing from T-ara at the moment.

So sad, as if all the negative news and constant reminders of the T-ara's incident are not enough, we are now creating one for the fans here. It is fast becoming no longer fun to follow some of the news and thoughts of the fans especially when I hear of the constant cynicism and condemnation that is going around in some of the posts. I tend to agree with Qrieen's thoughts. Why all these hate for CCM and especially for KKS? Lets not forget that CCM has brought T-ara to great heights in the world of Kpop. Instead of focusing on certain events or issues as a basis for the vilification of CCM we should be grateful and cannot deny that T-ara's success owes much to the management of CCM. Remember that T-ara are not singer-songwriters. They don't come up with their own songs, concepts or even in the way they dress. So while most of us are quick to praise and like their music and concept, don't forget it is a collective effort within CCM to come up with the concepts, themes and imagery behind the music. Hardwork and long hours are not exclusive only to T-ara. All kpop groups go through the same thing. Through hard work and commitment success will usually follow not only for CCM but also for T-ara. Don't forget that commercial aspects plays a large part in the kpop industry as it is with other industries. At the end of the day it is all about how much money can be generated from these music groups. The more money a group can generate the more resources can be put back into that group to promote the group and its activities. And it is not only that the company benefits from it, the individual members also benefit by being more recognisable in the entertainment world which would lead to further jobs or roles that they are able to take on such as modeling or acting jobs. It not only about making music for fans to listen and have fun. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Music executives expect fans to support their favourite groups by buying their albums and going for their concerts as a return on their investment. So we must be fair and not just say that these music executives are just plain greedy. The truth is that we do not know enough about what is going on in terms of future plans and direction of the T-ara as a whole to say such things As some of the posts have pointed out, T-ara have been around for around 4.5years. To be around for that long in an industry that favours youth, beauty and popularity is not easy, as such lets be a bit grateful to CCM for keeping T-ara around for that long with amazing songs to match. So even if we don't agree with CCM's decision on certain issues, lets not make an issue out of it. In light of the negativity that is surrounding T-ara at the moment lets all band together to really go back to the whole original concept of T-ara's music of being fun and enjoyable without more 'controversial issues' within T-ara as whole coming up. I hope that my message will be taken in a positive light. If we support and enjoy T-ara then we must be able to accept T-ara as whole, this includes CCM and whatever new members that come along, because lets face it, no matter how much we criticise CCM and its decisions we cannot change it. In fact what will result is that such comments and arguments will turn fans off. Most fans are here to enjoy reading new developments with regards to T-ara and will definitely be put off if there is a growing set of issues that seem to put the whole T-ara image in a bad light. Lets not be so divisive and just accept T-ara as they are and enjoy their music because divisiveness was what caused T-ara to be in this predicament in the first place. I love T-ara a lot and don't really want to see T-ara contantly being associated with negative issues.

It's unfair to pass judgement on Areum's future at such an early stage of her career and one definitely can't make a comparison between well established kpop idols and Areum. There is definitely no comparison if one were to judge someone with years of experience and training with Areum who was with T-ara for about a year and before that in school studying and training. Despite the fact that she was so new to the kpop scene, one can actually see her talents shine through during her time with T-ara. As earlier noted, she can dance, rap and sing. And this fact is not lost on CCM as she was given several prominent roles in T-ara's song. I mean, how good was she in her solo in sexy love? A true recognition of her still raw talents. And while most of us are sad to see Areum's departure from T-ara, in a way it speaks of how highly the company thinks of her to take a valuable asset out of T-ara and to make solo career out of it. Whether one agrees with such a decision is a whole different story. But for me personally, from what I've seen of Areum's talents and performance, I really like what I see. I am definitely looking forward to see more of her. A real diamond in the rough! Of course one cannot expect each and every kpop artiste to reach the level of success achieved by the likes SNSD and Super Junior. But does that mean if one cannot get to the top one should not even try? That's the easy way out isn't it? The road to success is long journey. Don't expect instant success and results. As long as one has the talents and ready to work hard for it then one can live with a clear conscience to say at least I gave it my best shot. Like they say nothing ventured nothing gained.

I totally agree with the whole not revealing their relationships. Please allow us (more like fanboys) to live in self-denial and in our own fantasies . We really don't need to know or even want to know who the members are in a relationship with. So, please girls, be a little more discreet in your relationship, ok? Although, deep down i suspect most of them are in a relationship. I mean just look at them. They are all so talented and gorgeous. What guy wouldnt be attracted to them. It is not such a surprise to anounce that any one of the members is in a relationship but the other way round in announcing that they are still single. I mean...seriously??? Still single???

Hmm...I think they have really wasted a golden chance to make a meaningful mv with a strong storyline especially with the use the dramatic landscape of Mongolia. The whole desert idea could have been used as a central idea or concept in a storyline that speaks of T-ara's struggles and subsequent comeback. As it is, the random images and shots of the girls in the desert and the girls just driving around is quite meaningless. Not really worthy of a version2 title. In fact, it looks more like a teaser to me. Anyway, It's not T-ara's fault. I think it has more to do with their creative crew and more importantly probably budget constraints.

Hyomin says that they look online for 'positive' messages. Seriously, all T-ara need to do whenever they feel down is to come visit Tiaradiadem and read the many positive and constructive comments. They will definitely feel the love and support emanating from our comments and posts. As humans we all tend to focus on the negatives and overlook the positives which is a real shame and it is neither helpful nor is it constructive. Hope T-ara will continue to look forward work hard and at the same time learn from the past. Do not be too focus on the haters (they are just jealous of T-ara's success anyway) and remember that T-ara still has legion of fans out there. T-ara is still T-ara no matter what. Continue to make great music, which is why we fans fell in love T-ara in the first place, and the fans will naturally come back to support you all. T-ara FIGHTING!!!

Everytime I listen or watch 'I Know The Feeling' I just can't get over how good Boram is. To be able to hit the high notes with Soyeon and teaming up with Hyomin for the rap is so awesome. It's such a shame that Boram did not get more roles in T-ara's previous songs because she is a real hidden gem in T-ara's crown.

Call it a re-debut or comeback, it's definitely great to see the girls back in their local kpop scene with a great album. I really hope people can just move on and stop associating T-ara with the whole bullying saga. For all their talents and hard work that they've put in, they don't deserve to be remembered as that group with the bullying incident. They need to be remembered as a group that was and still is a real force in the kpop world for their fun and catchy music. And the many titles and awards that they have gotten throughout their career are a true testament to their talents and popularity. All these talk about the past and sympathy for the girls is most unfair. There is more to T-ara than these issues. No doubt, the whole bullying incident was most unfortunate but that doesn't diminish the fact that T-ara is still a very talented group. And that should be the focus of everyone. It should be about the music above all else. Let's hope that their 're-debut' would also mean seeing T-ara back in their element with their fun and catchy songs.
