O.M.G !!!!!!!!!!!! What's going on ???? Ok. Chill. Not getting into their hair styles yet BUT it's COOL !!! Credits to them for trying something SO different especially Jiyeon, Hyomin and Qri. I am starting to wonder is it true that Jiyeon will be the one who's playing the bad role cause Qri looks more like a "wicked" ice queen and Hyomin is going to melt her ice with some fire spewing out from her hair. Or is Jiyeon going to have thunder bolting out from her blonde hair? Glad that all of them are involved in the mv (except Boram?).

This looks interesting !!! Never ever imagine that Day by Day will be used for something like this. I've noticed that they used 2 songs for Cry Cry music video (dance + ballad version of Cry Cry) and Lovey Dovey music video (Lovey Dovey + We Were in Love) so I am hoping for a club version of Day by Day. Lol. Jiyeon as badass villain? COOL. I hope her hair is dyed yellow or green since Hyomin took red. So who'll be the heroin who is going to spank Jiyeon? I want Hyomin or Eunjung or maybe Soyeon !!! And please don't let Jiyeon kill herself. I would rather watch someone killing her. It's sad that the future looks so dark and depressed. And we are using katanas to fight in the future? Or maybe the katanas have super powers ?? Can't wait for the chameleon of KPOP to be back !!

Can't imagine how she's going to cope with the concert, the new songs promotions and now the lead of a new drama? I just can't. T-ara is just everywhere. EVERYWHERE !!! Giving performance? Check. Helping their beloved Gang Kiss? Check. Releasing new songs? Check. Concert? Check. Drama? Check. What's left unchecked is a term called REAL VACATION. I just hope that we don't get another news of someone fainting or injuring themselves or resting in the hospital only to get "grabbed" by CCM bodyguards to perform on music shows. *Hyomin, please don't faint. Please have more fats and carbohydrate in your diet. And yeah why are you always associated with Gumiho? And I have a question to ask you. Are you actually a mutant who doesn't sleep? Anyway, all the best !!!

Wow, July 3rd !! Faster than I expected (I thought it's July 7th. KKS making their comeback sooner to avoid 2ne1? ). Yay, they are making a mini drama again. I actually prefer them making long mvs as it differentiates them from others. Ya, they might be criticized for wasting money and time but hey a long music video, I'm on !!! I wonder who's the lead. As much as I love Jiyeon, I would want to see Soyeon acting as the main while the others as supporting character. How many versions of music video for a song are they going to release? 101 versions of music video? Long mv? Futuristic? A sorrow story? More T-ara? BRING IT ON !!! I am so ready !!! *T-ara, please stay strong with all the promotions and no more drama casting please until next year cause you'll faint.

This proves that having a cute face is very important in life. (*jealous) I think people tend to accept Areum more compared to Dani is basically because of the age and the claim that the former has good vocals. If Dani is around Jiyeon's age and minus the fact that she was discovered on the streets while eating an ice-cream by her paedophile father, KKS, Dani wouldn't be receiving as much hate as she is getting now. Some of us take these new changes with open heart and some of us take longer time to get use to these changes (that's me). No matter which side you are on, our motive is the same. We wish that T-ara will continue to be as successful as they are now (or better) and continue giving us good songs to listen to. The member changes might break or make T-ara but since T-ara always surprises me with their high endurance to their killing schedules (plus some scandals), I wouldn't find them having any difficulties in adjusting themselves to the member changes. Unless, one day they got sick of the stress and decided to leave T-ara, I believe that T-ara will continue being T-ara irregardless of the member changes. *I feel that Queen's are amazing people as well especially those who are T-ara's fans even before T-ara debut since they often get "heart attacks" from KKS/CCM on the member changes and also T-ara's scandals/health problems.

Looks like the storm has calmed down and here comes the bright sunny day for the 8th member. A bit surprised actually at how well she is being received compared to Dani. It feels like KKS's tactic actually worked by revealing Dani first and then Areum later. All my dislike is already thrown at Dani and when the 8th member is revealed, I'm tired of hating and my hate level has already gone down. I hope that Jiyeon and Hwayoung will be nice to her on screen but if they want to kick her a** behind the scenes, I wouldn't mind. (I wouldn't know anyway). Poor Jiyeon for losing her maknae position to a 14 year old and might face the probability of losing her visual position too to our cutie pie Areum. *Jiyeon, don't worry. Ask Eunjung to give you a hug whenever you feel like breaking down.

I thought that I'll be watching 20 minutes of true live singing from T-ara but it turns out that it's less than 10 minutes.... It's okay. At least I get to hear some voices instead of prerecorded tracks. I absolutely love it when they sing live like this !!! Sometimes, it's so clear I can hear their breathing sound in Lovey Dovey. JIYEON CAN"T SING !!! YEAH RIGHT, MAN. Call me bias but she certainly sang quite well during the performance. Soyeon and Hyomin as usual did their thing.

"Hello everyone, I'm T-ARA's Dani. I'm 14 years old (*actually 12 years old) but I'm taller than most of you already (*innocent laugh). I am very good in English. Apple is A. Bo Peep Bo peep is B, Cry Cry is C and D is DANI !!! (*giggle) I was discovered on the streets by our beloved "father", KKS. Please don't be jealous of me cause I know I'm really lucky to be discovered in this manner since I've no idea that I can either sing or act. But I can dance though. I hope that I'll change all your hate towards me to love and please support me. Here's a tip to everyone who's dreaming of getting discovered by paedophiles like KKS. Just wear clothes that make you look innocent and of course you should always be seen eating an ice-cream while going for a movie. Thank you everyone. Hope that you'll love me". It's so hard to not hate Dani. It's so freaking hard. I have a feeling that KKS is making us hate her even more. Hate as much as you want but in the end, we'll all love her cause the T-ara members will pretend as if she's accepted in the group. Love T-ara means love Dani. As much as I love T-ara and as much as I hope that they'll last long as a group, I hope that at the end of this year, they'll do something about what KKS is pressuring on them. Soyeon should lead the lawsuit (I even think she could become their own lawyer) with strong support from Jiyeon, Eunjung and Hyomin. They need to do something to prevent themselves from being treated like a slave or puppet already. If they like it, finish all their concerts first, publish that repackage album and then start sueing.

I hope they come to kl too !!! Just curious, which uni do you attend in kl?

Waaaaaahhhhhhhh !!!!! *Jump up and down. So now am I suppose to use my money to buy their new album or am I suppose to attend the concert? Hmmm....Hopefully they'll have some rest after their korean and japan concert and then come to Malaysia with a fresh look !! I don't want then to dance and sing like a zombie. I am super super excited. Omg !! Omg !!! OMG !!!! *Are we going to look at 7-ARA or 9-ARA? If 9-ARA, then .....

It saddens me too to read about those news where one of them is injured, sick or even fainted. I am sorry to say this but at times I feel like it would be better for Boram to leave T-ara. With the conditions of her health and her constantly taking medications (especially for her excessive sweating) and other unknown medications, it is likely that her health is going to get worst. I even wonder how could she stay in a group where she doesn't get a lot of lines to sing, she's overshadowed by other members, she's the oldest but nobody gives a freaking damn about her for such a long time. Boram really deserves the recognition that she's supposed to get after 3 years of hard work. I've always remember her saying to T-ara, "I'll try to be the best Unnie and I'll do my best to not pull you guys down" (in tears). I admire her for her courage and her perseverance to stay strong despite her weaker body and KKS's mounting pressure. Boram, all the best to you and get well soon. Rest well and no matter what happens, your fans will be behind you.

Ahhhh !!! The sexy dance should have lasted longer than the cute dance .... I wanna see her shake her butt more. Lol. I thought she was going from sexy to cute and then to sexy back ... I am disappointed !!! *Dear Jiyeon, you should do more sexy dance.

Some of you are saying that it's not her fault that she will be the new member of T-ara but when you think about it, she has the right to say a big fat NO when she was told that she will be added to T-ara. Did KKS/CCM put a knife on her neck and threatened her to agree with their decision to be added to T-ara? It's still part of her fault that she gets a lot of hate from fans since she agreed to be added to T-ara in the first place. She should have known that she will be getting a lot of hate from fans unless she's too "innocent" and "naive" to not realize the fact. By accepting the offer to be added to T-ara, she gives me the impression that she's just someone who wants quick fame and quick cash when she's only as young as 12 years old. There are different levels of acceptance to something that pisses/disappoints you. For me, I initially hated her. Then, I tried to ignore the fact that she will be added to T-ara. Then, life goes on and I recognized the fact that she will be added to T-ara. And now, I'm trying my very best to not hate her and be neutral. And finally who knows she might grow on me and I'll like her (I doubt so). I think I am going to just ignore her for a moment until I get used to her name popping up in the news section cause it's pissing me off. I can't wait for the drama to unfold when T-ara becomes a 9-member group. Unless T-ara's second album flops terribly or T-ara files a lawsuit against CCM, Dani will be forever your beloved 9th T-ara member.

LOL !!! It looks like it's vanilla with chocolate chips. I think she watched a 18SX movie so that she can get used to dancing IGCBOY in future. Or maybe she went to watch Snow White and the Huntsmen since fairy tales should be her forte (although that movie has a bit of violence but well, a 14 year old child might be deceived by the name SNOW WHITE). So we are getting frequent news of our "beloved" Dani in every 5 days till December? News 1 : Dani went for a movie looking innocent. News 2 : Dani went for shopping looking cute. News 3 : Dani went to a restaurant looking like a kid. News 4 : Dani rejected a XXX million from XXX CF offer News 5 : Dani caught dating a 26 year old man !!! (Just kidding) and the news goes on .... I "love" our Dani !!!

I agree with you about the part where I couldn't hear their voices properly but as mentioned we can't judge on fancams plus someone said that the sound system was bad. However, I don't agree with you saying that they didn't put a very big effort at all for the concert. I am not sure whether you are judging based on only the IGCBY and IRH performances but in my opinion, they gave a maybe 90% (or higher) effort for this concert. Considering that they had heavy schedules in Japan before the concert plus practicing their new choreographies for their new songs, I don't even know how they find time to practise singing the Thai songs, Bye-bye performance and movements around the stage. So, I would rather say that they gave their best instead of saying them slacking the performances although I admit that they always have room for improvement. All the girls looked like they had a blast (not half dead/zombified) and the dances were not lazily performed and I give them credits for that. The point of this concert? I am not sure but of course part of it is to generate income for CCM and the girls get to realize their dream of having their first solo concert. The girls are happy, the fans are happy, CCM is the happiest so why not have a concert? I do acknowledge the fact that they will be very tired but when you are happy, the tiredness comes second.

Great to hear that someone here actually went for the concert and thanks for sharing your experience!! I am sure you had a blast for the concert cause when I watched those fancams, I heard more screaming rather than the girls' voices. Wow, they were actually people who got tickets without knowing who T-ara is? Lucky people ....

I am not sure about other groups but I've listened to Wonder Girls performing live while dancing and lol they were out of breath too. 2ne1 is good in live singing though in my opinion maybe because they don't dance that much. Actually I have this kind of imagination in my mind when they say that they are going to add new members to improve T-ara's singing. It's something like this (I've mentioned it before). The two new members won't be dancing. They'll just sing in the middle of the stage with their "soprano" vocal range and T-ara will be dancing happilly behind them. Then T-ara won't sound that bad. But I guess it's not true since our "beloved" DANI basically rejected a 200 million won of XXX cf to practise her dance !!! I guess you are right then. Yeah, songs from Absolute First Album are some of the most frequently played songs in my playlist. Not sure whether I'll buy it but if I have extra $$, I'll think about it and thanks for your recommendation. Are you put off by the names of the rumored tracklist such as Hey Yep! Hey Yap!? Lol. What's with that name? Anyway, don't trust those rumours too much. Last time the rumoured tracklist has honey pokey in it and it was actually Gang Kiz's Honey Honey (I think) I wouldn't think that Jiyeon is fully grown up though. Lol. I don't know why but she seems to be like a playful 10 year old kid trapped in a going to be 19 year old lady's body. Sometimes she's happy and sometimes she's mad at something. She was super hyper in Pretty boy ep 10. I don't think she got the lead role as in the main character in Dream High 2. Although her screen time got longer towards the end of the show, it was all about Hae Sung and JB. Anyway, I despise that drama and Jiyeon wasted her sleep time for that awful drama. *Sorry for being off topic here.

Reading 9 pages of interesting comments is like reading a love and hate letter. I love Diadem forums !!! Anyway, I'm seriously skeptical about KKS's decision to add a 14 year old turning 15 on December but I guess I'll wait and see what kind of music they'll produce. As long as they have good music, I'll still have a "T-ARA" on my head. To be honest, T-ara sings live badly. They lacked the power and stability in live singing and often depends highly on the back track that sometimes I think that some of them lip sync. I can see that they are improving but relying highly on Soyeon and Hyomin during live singing is too much. No offense but sometimes Soyeon sounds out of breath and Hyomin sounds good only in certain songs. I am not expecting that they sing like as someone mentioned before Mariah Carey or Christina Aguilera cause I know it's hard to sing when you are dancing plus being a zombie but I hope that they'll sound at least decent and not out of tune in live performances. And I seriously hope that the new members will at least add some depth to their live performances since CCM has not interest in improving the 7 members' vocals. Listening to Day by Day reminds me of their first album which ROCKS my world and the next album might be the first and last album I'll buy from T-ara. I'll always support T-ARA's music if the songs stay good and I'll always watch out for Jiyeon and Eunjung's acting. I hope that both will get a lead role soon. *Jiyeon, it's time to grow up. Leave that maknae label and continue chasing your dreams. Oh, and start getting used to JIYEON UNNIE !!!

Is this supposed to be the teaser? Lol. Well, I'll accept the "teaser" with open hearts cause I CAN"T STAND THE WAIT ANYMORE !!! And what does it mean by that 7 months 7 days? Oh, and coming soon is spelled wrongly as comming soon. I thought the new member is supposed to be good in English. She should have checked and scanned any videos regarding T-ARA when it comes to English. I bet she's laughing at the spelling mistake IF she's really good in English. Will we be seeing T-ARA in America or England perhaps? *sarcasm* Anyway, poor Jonte for leaking the video.

I actually think that they are advantages to the song and the choreography being leaked. I am sure the teaser is an excuse or a cover up for the leaked video since it has really gone viral. Or maybe it's part of KKS's plan after all since he's someone who does promotions in a very cunning way. It's weird when one day they said they are going to reveal the new members to piss fans and then the next day there's a leaked video to please the fans. I personally think that KKS is playing with the fans but since I'm already trapped in the T-ARA fandom, I'll play along. The leaked video certainly creates a lot of hype for their comeback. The song is extremely flawless (for me) and it's different from their previous songs but yet it still sounds like T-ARA. All of their voices blend together perfectly (although I only heard Soyeon, Hyomin, Hwayoung, Eunjung with that high note !!!! and Jiyeon). I was excited for their comeback but that leaked video officially make my excitement peaks that I want them to forget about their Japan promos and make the comeback next month. I won't say that the full choreography is leaked out though. Yes, they dance was leaked but we still have the dynamics of the group to look forward to like how eight of them will move on stage and how they will arrange themselves in their position. To be honest, I love the leaked video. It's just the perfect remedy for my heart which was broken after KKS "stabbed" it with the 14 years old girl news. T-ARA, time to kill all the charts !!!!

As mentioned, is this even official? If it's not official, I don't think this should be posted in "photos" section cause it's seriously giving a stab in my heart. Seriously, 14 years old??? Freaking 14 years old. So they are going to "graduate" the older members and recruit young teenagers as new members. What nonsense is that? It's not about Jiyeon not being the maknae (it disturbes me though) but this is completely out of mind. It's unhealthy !!! And yeah, what's with that 14 years old girl agreeing to all this Sh!t.

I know it hurts, but I'll accept the fact that T-ARA is going to have 9 members and the fact that they are going to have a FULL 2ND ALBUM !!!! What time is it? It's time for T-ARA to kill all the charts !!!

Hey, are we going into internal fan war here? There's always two different sides of the coin. You can support or hate the member change but just please don't fight among ourselves.

I am not exactly pissed or hating those two new girls. To be specific, I am pissed at KKS/CCM. Seriously, why would you want to add two new members to a group who works their *** off and is already a pretty much established and recognized group. He should know that he will be creating a lot of haters with the addition of the two new members who will ride on the fame that T-ARA has been working so hard to build. He never learn his lessons. He used T-ARA for Gangkiz and you can see the amount of haters Gangkiz got even before they debut. Fans are protective and who would want their idols to be treated as slaves. I can't say much about the addition of Hwayoung but Hwayoung was added before T-ara becomes widely known (aka roly poly/cry cry era). Since T-ara is pretty big now that their songs can become an all-kill in charts, just why you want to ruin the group by adding new members and spoiling the dynamics of they group. I don't get it and I will never get it. No matter what, just make sure that the album rocks as always and oh well, the line distribution .... And I hope that none of the T-ARA members will faint/injured after their japan promos. All the best to T-ARA and I love you.

They are seriously seriously seriously looking hotter day by day !!! And Jiyeon was actually kneeling on that sofa?? Wow just wow.
