T-ara’s Eunjung just made her debut as a solo singer. However, she did not use her actual name, but a stage name 'Elsie' to release a solo album with the title song being 'I’m Good' to start off her schedules. Although she is the third member in T-ara following Jiyeon and Hyomin to have their solo debuts, Eunjung is the first member to use a new stage name to release an album. After debuting for 7 years as an idol, Eunjung is using 'Elsie' to come back as a new singer.
Eunjung sat down at a cafe in Jongno-gu Sogyeokdong with reporters for an interview on the 13th of May. She talked about her feelings about the solo album release and some back stories etc.
Among listeners of female idol groups’ music, many would definitely know who T-ara Eunjung is. But they wouldn’t be familiar with Elsie. There were even rumors that Elsie is a parody name to imitate the movie Frozen. So why did Eunjung use “Elsie” as a stage name for her solo activities?
"It’s a name thought of by our CEO. The name wraps around the meaning of having all sorts of beauty. It includes honesty, straightforwardness, joyfulness, etc. Actually, I feel that if I use my own name Eunjung rather than Elsie, it would have been better. But for the sake of bringing out a better feel of the song, we decided to use Elsie instead of Eunjung. I hope the song would stand out more in that way."
Although it is a blind concept, mysterious, but in actuality, many people knew that Elsie was T-ara Eunjung even before the official announcement. Even though Eunjung’s face did not appear in the teaser, netizens pointed out that “T-ara Eunjung is Elsie.” Therefore, the marketing of Elsie ended just like that.
"Haha, actually I figured that everyone would know that it’s me. But it’s like a mysterious-yet-obvious kind of emphasis I think? Actually, the fact that many people could recognize Elsie is Eunjung had me relieved. Frankly speaking, B2ST’s Jang Hyun Seung and Secret’s Jeon Hyosung are releasing solo albums right now too, right? Because it’s my first solo album, and with Jang Hyun Seung and Jeong Hyosung, everyone was worried about what I would do."

Having debuted in 2009, this is Eunjung’s first time going solo after 7 years of being a singer (including trainee years), and she has a different feelings as compared to when she is with T-ara. Although she is given the chance to display an image that is perfectly unique to herself on stage, she feels the burden of having to fulfil what is required of her on stage all by herself.
"Previously, we went on stage as 6 girls, but now, it’s just me and the male dancer. I feel shy and curious at the same time. Furthermore, our CEO wants me to constantly perform better than my previous performance. (laughs) During my solo schedules, it feels like my promotion song: although I’m trying to feel fine being by myself, but in fact, being alone is not easy at all. I prefer having activities with the other members. But in order to present a new and fresh image, I have carry the thought of being ok by myself.”
Eunjung had talked about past events regarding the conflict with ex-member Hwayoung on MNet's 4 Things Show while tearing non-stop and received the public’s attention. She revealed the truth behind the past events through an interview.
“Because it seemed like we said a lot of things that was misunderstood, so we were very upset. Because I felt that my tears gave the impression that I was wronged, but that should not have been the right thing to do, so I blamed myself. I felt like I should have been more careful, it should not have been like that. Actually, when the filming was over, there were more relaxed moments. It wasn’t because of certain happenings that I cried, but more of because the filming was very meaningful and I felt so blessed that I cried. Because it was a reality and variety show that was filmed over a span of a few days so it became very comfortable. Thank you all (the crew) for making the filming so comfortable and relaxing, a program that wouldn’t get me scolded, I said these words. There was a female producer and director on set that cried after listening to my story; upon seeing them cry, I cried too."

A T-ara that relies on their cute and joyous music, to receive huge popularity and support every time they release songs, went through a tough time after the ex-member Hwayoung bullying controversy. After some time, the controversy and debates slowly subsided, but it left a painful emotional scar on T-ara’s members. Eunjung who was thankful for not getting scolded during film shoots was asked how she managed to cope with the emotional pain.
“Firstly, I thought of the fans, they are the reason why I was determined to hold on. And I am the kind of person that would admit to something very quickly, so I thought, “so it’s like that” and I slowly accepted it. I also had to think about future activities. The public might not think that I have admitted it because it was not clearly expressed. But I have already admitted and accepted the fact.”
Although it has been 3 years since T-ara’s bully controversy, there are still some malicious labelling remarks (labelling T-ara as bullies). Eunjung hopes that giving it more time will be the solution to this. Instead of forcefully doing things (to explain and receive forgiveness), I would rather let time solve everything, put things back in order.
“I hope we can be like before. But it seems like it’s not easy to go back to how things were. Giving our best and displaying a good image, everyone’s perspective of us would slowly improve, this is what I think. Instead of making statements, I think it is more important to show our effort and do our best in our activities.”

Using the stage name Elsie to stand on the solo stage, Eunjung uses her sexy charms to replace her usual adorable and at times, boyish charisma. In order to display a perfect image on stage, her goal is to use this period of time to show new charms to captivate the public.
“To make everyone think, ’T-ara's Eunjung is capable of this image?’ I wanted to display a contrasting look. Besides, after displaying a feminine and sexy concept, I hope to show yet another different image the next time.”
Eunjung was asked about her thoughts of what T-ara would be like during their 10th year. Eunjung imagined an image of the members being in their 30s and exclaimed. At the same time, she mentioned that she wants to use the name T-ara to be with the other members, showing her love for the group.
“T-ara’s 10th anniversary? How old would I be then? I would be in my 30s. I hope to be able to produce music that would appeal to the audience of that generation. I also hope that we can use the charms of all 6 of us to continue having activities. However, it is not up to us whether we can continue having T-ara activities regardless of time. We must release albums and have fans around. When all of us discussed this, we expressed our hopes of being able to have activities of our own while also continuing as T-ara. This is our burning wish.”

[15.04.25] Jiyeon mentions China Tour 2015 in a Korean-Chinese Interview!
 
In Jiyeon's recent photoshoot with Ceci Korea for CB Cream, she was interviewed by iQiyi, a Korean-Chinese news site.

By now, I am sure most of us know that T-ara will be having a China Tour this year. They had been talking about it after signing a contract with Longzhen Culture and their Shanghai concert was supposedly the start of their China activities.

Just a short recap, after the Shanghai concert, T-ara was invited to China several times now for various Chinese TV programs and recently clinched three awards at the Yin Yue Tai V-Chart Awards 2015.

The subbed video of the interview is below, enjoy!

Awww what a sweetie Jiyeon is. Let's keep our fingers crossed for Hyomin's solo debut because that will also determine future plans for the girls as a whole and the other individual members. I'm imagining Boram and Qri might not have a solo album per se but they would get other forms of media exposure, or I might be wrong: they might indeed have solos. For Soyeon and Eunjung, I wouldn't have doubts that they will be the next in line, be it starring in a movie (Eunjung ) or a solo album. I am really looking forward to Soyeon's rumoured solo song, because I'm sure she'll nail it so hard with her vocals. Till then, 화이팅 티아라!

[15.04.28] T-ara Eunjung's unfinished tearful story on MNet 4 Things Show
 
 
T-ara’s member Eunjung will be appearing on MNet 4 Things Show and discuss about the unfinished story of that time.
MNet’s 4 Things Show featuring T-ara's Eunjung will be broadcasted on 28 April, Tuesday at 6pm. Eunjung will be talking about her stand regarding the controversy, her daily obstacles and how she overcame them.
 
Eunjung will be revealing facts about her life after debuting as a child actress 20 years ago on the TV program. Including her surprise vacation with her parents and childhood close friends, how she lost 7kg with Pilates classes, challenging herself to do floral work amidst her hectic schedules, etc. These are the different sides of Eunjung that defined her life experiences over the years.
 
Eunjung said in an interview on 4 Things Show, “every time when I’m appearing on a television program, I'll always be troubled by how the public will see me, I'll think a lot about it. But this time, I’m using a more relaxed attitude and mentality.”
 
“The truth that the public knows and believes, a huge part of it is not what the actual truth holds.” (Eunjung wants to say that a huge part of what the public believes in is not true and does not encapsulate even a small part of what the actual truth holds.)
 
Eunjung’s heart-breaking story that has not been told on any TV program of sorts will be revealed on 4 Things Show.
 
There will be a segment in the program, “Close Friends’ Perspectives of Eunjung.” It will be an interview with several close acquaintances like Eunjung’s fellow cast member Baek Sung Hyun of the drama Queen InSoo; a very close T-ara member that has been through ups and downs and many obstacles with her, Hyomin; and a fellow peer who was initially chosen to be part of T-ara and went through pre-debut trainings with her, currently a member of girl group Spica, Jiwon. All of which will be revealed on Mnet's 4 Things Show.

[15.04.25] Jiyeon mentions China Tour 2015 in a Korean-Chinese Interview!
 
In Jiyeon's recent photoshoot with Ceci Korea for CB Cream, she was interviewed by iQiyi, a Korean-Chinese news site.

By now, I am sure most of us know that T-ara will be having a China Tour this year. They had been talking about it after signing a contract with Longzhen Culture and their Shanghai concert was supposedly the start of their China activities.

Just a short recap, after the Shanghai concert, T-ara was invited to China several times now for various Chinese TV programs and recently clinched three awards at the Yin Yue Tai V-Chart Awards 2015.

In the interview with iQiyi, Jiyeon mentioned again about T-ara's China Tour activities in 2015, which most probably will be soon! Don't forget that it was reported that they will be having a web drama coming up real soon too.

The subbed video of the interview is below, enjoy!
