The camera movement is really bad... My eyes were blurry after watching this.
Nevertheless, still a good performance and Jiyeon's knee has recovered!

[sPAZZ] T-ARA expressed their thankfulness to each other for the 4 years





The 6-members girl group T-ARA expressed their thankfulness to each other for the 4 years of twists and turns they spent together.

On the 21st, the girls met with reporters at a cafe in Gangnam, Seoul. “You’ve went through lots of member changes, but just as much, you have to thank and cherish the members that you are currently with. If you’re to thank each other by passing turns?” Receiving the question, the girls smiled shyly.

"That’s really embarrassing", the members who shivered at first quickly pulled themselves together to start answering seriously.



Qri to Soyeon:





"I’m always very thankful to my dongsaengs. In a case like Soyeon’s, It feels like chingus because of the one-year age gap between us. Although Soyeon looks strong from the outside, she has many tender sides as well. She’s someone I’d share my troubles and hearty talks with. She feels a lot like a real sister. I’m always thankful. She’s a dongsaeng that helps me where I lack at a lot."





Soyeon to Boram:



"Aigoo our Boram unnie~. Unnie is roomates with me, though. There’s a lot that I’m thankful for. It looks as if (she’s) passive and (we) take care of her, but that’s not it. Boram unnie is a mentor. As an unnie, she’d say all that she has to say to (me as a) dongsaeng and even words of advice. She’s an unnie who makes me realize things I couldn’t feel before. In fact, I love them all equally to not hurt anyone. I’m really confident of our teamwork. (They’re/She’s) more than family. Because we share everything."





Boram to Jiyeon:



"Although I’m the very old unnie and Jiyeon is the magnae, She’s really good at everything without any exception. I have so many to learn as an unnie. She’s a dongsaeng I look up to and has lots to learn from as an entertainer. She also gives me lots of strength. She’s a reliable magnae. What I liked being in T-ara, is that since there’s no gaps among the members, it’s a family-like atmosphere. Although we have an age gap, it’s a sister-like relationship. I really like that. Also, because such a dongsaeng is Jiyeon, I like it even more.





Jiyeon to Eunjung:



"I really have a lot to thank Eunjung unnie for that I’m tearing up. Eunjung Unnie is like a mother.T-ara’s mother. When we go overseas unnie and I would share a room together but she’d be the one to take care of everything, from one to ten. Really, just like the things a mother would do for her child, concern, everything. She’d do the cleaning all by herself. I’m thankful for all the little things one by one. I’m just thankful for everything. For the rest, I’ll tell her on kakaotalk."





Eunjung to Hyomin:



"Hyomin is the friend I spent the longest time with training in our company. We met each other when Hyomin was 19 and I was 20 years old. Spending a lot of time together as trainees and growing together, we know each other’s strengths and weaknesses very well. In the future, I think we’ll still stay with each other even as halmeonies and ahjummas. Since both of us are ‘an only child’, even our parents are all close with each other. She’s my dongsaeng but sometimes she can also be reliable like a chingu and like an unnie. I am indecisive but hyomin guides with a driving force. She’s a friend I need inside and outside of T-ara. Even without T-ara, She’s a good person and a definitely needed friend.”





Hyomin to Qri:



"Qri unnie is my roomate when we go overseas. From my first impression, she’s the unnie who was the hardest to approach. I think she’s very unique and different from me. Even our thoughts. She was an unnie who felt distant, but turned out to be an opposite girl with twist. Very different from my first impression. She usually sounds arrogant and prim when talking so there were times when I wanted to say “I’m not even a man but why does she keep talking like that?”; However, she’s so thoughtful and mature. How she saves her money is a thing I should obviously learn from her. I like the way she’s frugal and doesn’t waste money. In the future, I hope unnie would grab the chance to show her charms often during our activities as T-ara. She’s a reliable leader and a very nice unnie.”

[13.10.23] T-ara to recreate Sand Pebbles' song "What Do I Do" for December comeback


Retro queens T-ara will return!

T-ara will do their reinterpretation of Sand Pebbles song "What Do I Do" that first became popular through college music festivals in 1977.

T-ara will sample Sand Pebbles song "What Do I Do" to recreate and update it with composer Shinsadong Tiger for a brand new 2013 version. The arrangement will be trendy for young adults but will also bring back memories for the older population. It will be a pop dance song with a traditional melody.

T-ara created a retro craze with "Roly-Poly" and want to recreate that craze again in 2013 with "What Do I Do". They want to be able to bring back happy memories of the past once again.

T-ara's jacket image for "2013 What Do I Do" was released today and it features a cassette tape.

T-ara will release "What Do I Do" on December 2nd.

T-ara, A Tearful Interview… Instead of explaining, they are reflecting
By Kim Yong Ho


I met with girl group T-ara. The “T-ara Incident” that caused uproar in Korea last year. At the time, after finishing their Japan Buddokan concert, success was right in front of their eyes, but a small argument between the members became a large controversy through SNS. More so than the truth of what happened, the public was more interested and passionate in their witchhunt. There is nothing more saddening than to be misunderstood. The T-ara members had also wanted to defend themselves saying that “This was not what happened in reality.”

Just like that, a year has passed and T-ara met with us reporters. But this time, the interview is not a consoling one. The controversy has to be something they face once more before their wounds can begin to heal. So right from the beginning I asked a powerful question “Why do you think T-ara is being criticised?”



The girls jumped at the question. But it is a question that must be answered. Perhaps it was a question they were mentally prepared for. Member Eunjung carefully replied, “We think that there must be a reason. Although there were some misunderstandings, because we think part of the reason we hear those words is because of us, we have humbly accepted [the criticism].” Hyomin said “Because we disappointed a lot of people who gave us love, we were wrong. That was an irreparable mistake. We can’t pretend it never happened. We have reflected upon our immature actions and think that we can only work hard to [make up for it].” Eunjung said, “We think that not expressing our thoughts at the time was one of the reasons we were criticised so much. We are very regretful for not expressing our thoughts from our hearts well at the time. But now, instead of using words, we think that we should use action to demonstrate [our hearts].” The members expressed their regret.



T-ara used to be one of the most loved girl groups. But now they are harshly receiving hate. A change like that is difficult for young girls to accept. I asked, “Isn’t the reality now very saddening?” But the answer I received was a mature one, “It seems like the sad period has passed and now we are thankful for little things.” Soyeon said “In the past, being nominated for 1st place seemed to be a given. But now, when we hear that we have been nominated for 1st place, we feel so happy we get goosebumps.” Eunjung said, “The way we think has changed. I think we are lucky to have obtained these results from working hard. We hope that we will achieve better results in the future.” Jiyeon said , “It seems like we really learned a lot. We learned to be thankful for little things.” T-ara talked about their thoughts on their comeback. Eunjung, “Achieving a lot of popularity at a young age can make people arrogant and that appearance can be revealed unconsciously. Although it may not be revealed with bad intentions, it seems to have been interpreted as such.” Answers like these, instead of defending themselves, it seems like T-ara has embraced a reflective attitude.

Suddenly, the young girls began to cry. Hyomin and Eunjung were the first to pick up tissues. Soyeon, although saying “I really don’t want to cry”, started to choke up as well. Jiyeon, who usually does not say much and has been misunderstood a lot, her tears also ruined her makeup. The members all expressed their thanks to their fans. “We are so thankful for our fans who have stayed by us even after so many bad things happened. We understand how valuable they are,” they said, revealing their honest thoughts.



T-ara recently released their 8th mini album “AGAIN” and is promoting with double title tracks “No.9” and “I Know the Feeling.” In particular, No.9 has reached 1st place on several charts upon release and was even nominated for 1st in a music programme, achieving popularity. But T-ara is still very humble. With their heads down, they said “Instead of a desire for 1st place, we have been practising overnight with the thought that it would be great if we can receive love. We are thankful for getting response that is better than we thought.”

Looking at T-ara, who expressed, “We were afraid about performing on stage when we knew we wouldn’t receive applause, but for those who have given us applause, we will do the best we can,” I am touched by the way they are struggling to overcome their trauma. I wonder if shedding tears like this will make them feel better. I look forward to T-ara overcoming these trials and becoming a cheerful girl group once again.

Probably my favorite performance of No. 9! Their voices were good over the backtrack, the camera angles were on point, Hyomin and Qri were so perky, and this version of their outfits are my fave. Jiyeon's smiles were qt, and I swear she was going to run and congratulate IU at the end of the show.

I'm not sure that it was pre-recorded..
During today's show (which was streamed live on MBCkpop) you can see Qri, Soyeon and Hyomin standing in the back during the winner awarding/show ending. Jiyeon is probably backstage resting with Eunjeung taking care of her, while Boram is probably to small for the camera to capture
Here is the full show ...& go to 1:05:46 (or search youtube for 131019 IU winning) and look at the bottom right corner, sorry it's not really clear because all of the tall rookies standing in front of them (I'm kinda pissed of that..):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grnI7j7ZTps&feature=share
Besides.. they are wearing the same outfit with today's UN festival and if they pre-recorded it before Jiyeon's injury, when or even why would they even do it? It's not like they know Jiyeon would be injured before Thursday and planned matching outfits. Regarding the different choreo- perhaps Jiyeon has recovered a bit but CCM was still trying to rest Jiyeon's knee for the UN festival while Music Core is a much more important stage for them.
