It's great that T-ara is so popular in China. I think they should focus less on South Korea and Japan and move on to China to focus more on that. They don't have too much time to promote T-ara N4 or QBS I think. They can do some occasional solo projects as well. Maybe 1 South Korean and 1 Japanese title track each year, and 1 solo project each year, with the rest of the time focusing on China may be good. T-ara has been around since 2009, they only have a few more years left I think, so this is their chance right now to focus on China. I think they will get even more popular and I'm excited to buy their Chinese music! :-) I am a member of both Tiaradiadem and T-araworld. I wonder if you all are posting there, and if posters from there are posting here? I want to see the international T-ara fans united and posting on multiple websites please. O:-)

That was a pretty good performance. My favorite parts were the closeups of Qri, and also the members stomachs. Too bad that Sugar Free promotions are ended now but we will look forward to their Chinese song Little Apple which may come out in November. There may be other Chinese activities in the near future. I haven't heard anything else about a USA Sugar Free club tour. Later on this year I wonder if there will be a repackage for And&End with music show promotions, although instead they may do Chinese promotions.

I like the performance, but it's too bad that they had they won't perform Sugar Free on the main four weekly Korean pop music shows anymore. There are still three other shows possible though. Tiaradiadem owner/moderator, please update T-ara's calendar on the link on the top of the forums, from a Korean T-ara website. I wonder if they will perform this week on Jiyeon's show SBS MTV The Show? Or possibly Arirang Simply K-Pop? They haven't performed Sugar Free on MBC Show Champion yet so they probably won't. We'll have to look forward to some concerts in the near future hopefully, for Sugar Free performances. Maybe they will be on a short break and then start Chinese promotions? I read something in the past somewhere about a possible Usa Sugar Free promotion? They will probably do a repackage for And&End so we'll have to look forward to that. We read earlier that they have another title track ready and it's by Brave Brothers, so I hope it's great! Sugar Free is the best Korean pop song I've heard this year and I love it!

Music shows have better camera work than concerts I've noticed. The camera work for that Sugar Free performance was really strong for a concert though. It's SBS, which I've noticed has better camera work than Mnet/KBS/MBC/Arirang. The loud cheers are fake and are added to the broadcast I'm pretty sure. All of a sudden there is extremely loud cheers, which die off pretty soon. "They" cheered extremely loud for Eunjung at the start but then it was normal for Jiyeon. I'm not sure about the timing of the various cheers and how they got really loud then really quiet. So I'm almost positive that they are fake cheers. Soyeon looks great in those pants. In this performance, I specifically noticed the hotness of Qri and Jiyeon. :-)

Tiaradiadem.com is going to release 25 copies of the 7000 copies remix album for sale today on their online store! http://tiaradiadem.com/2014/10/pre-order-limited-edition-andend-edmclub-edition This is great! It's $16 plus shipping, and limited to 1 copy per person. There is not much information but I saw on a competing website the information: [1CD] 1. huckIE_sugarfree (DJ Chuckie) ENG. 2.

It doesn't show anything about a poster now, even though it's still in the pre-order phase. Maybe I imagined that there was a poster, or there was a website error. They still have 69 of the albums in stock it says. The album has a 52 page booklet and is in a tin case. Meanwhile, my debit card expired! I have to wait 4-6 business days more for my new card. This delays me from buying T-ara merchandise! :-( Also, I don't know if there is a difference between the 500 copies limited edition remix cd and the 7000 copies limited edition remix cd. The former was given away to members/staff/etc, plus 10 winners of two online contests. Tiaradiadem.com owner/moderator, please ask DJ Ferry the difference(s) in the two albums?

Thanks for the great interview! I'd prefer his answers to be longer and detailed though. Good luck to DJ Ferry and his company! Unfortunately there were no questions about the 500 copies limited edition remix physical CD or the 7000 copies limited edition remix physical CD. How and where and when can we buy them? Is the 7000 copies version the exact same as the 500 copies version? What are the differences in the case, contents, and tracks? Tiaradiadem.com moderators/owners, please follow up and ask DJ Ferry this, thanks! :-)

A new remix and instrumental has been released! They also announced a 7000 copies limited edition physical CD for the remix album! http://tiaradiadem.com/2014/10/t-ara-reveal-new-sugarfree-remix-with-the-netherlands-top-dj-dj-chuckie-and-reveal-new-physical-album-release I like the remix and the instrumental. It's a bit different from the other official remixes and is closer to an instrumental. I want the upcoming 7000 copies remix album! I wonder if it will be the exact same thing as the limited edition physical cd they already made for the remix album, which had I think 500 copies, and which 10 people won in a couple online contests. It appears that we can't get that version, and if that's the case, it won't be a big deal if this upcoming 7000 copies version is exactly the same. If the 7000 copies version is something "lower quality" (less tracks, worse packaging, less stuff inside the case), I'll be annoyed because I was trying to spend money to buy the original 500 copies version. What do you think? I hope they announce more information on this. How many tracks are on each of the two cd's? Any other differences?

That's all true I think. Sugar Free is my favorite Korean pop song of the year. It's been dominating my life for the past month. I love it! I keep listening to the song (and track 16 from the remix album) over and over. I keep watching the September 14th Inkigayo performance also.

T-ara - Sugar Free - 140914 Inkigayo Watch 2:00 to 2:06. Qri has four backup dancers next to her. The one all the way on the right, the one who looks oldest, is the one I'm talking about. Who is she? I've seen her in many Korean pop girl group live performances! Oh I just found out more information about her here: http://onehallyu.com/index.php?/topic/75374-who-is-this-backup-dancer/ I wonder what her name is though? I wonder how many years she's been doing Korean pop girl group live performance backup dancing?

Pretty good performance. It's interesting to see how the camera work varies on a concert, vs one of the seven weekly Korean pop music shows. This was a better performance than today's Arirang Simply K-Pop one I think. My favorite part was when they zoomed in on Soyeon. I am familiar with the backup dancers in this promotion. They have a couple fairly attractive ones. There is one backup dancer who was active for the first 2-3 weeks but is not there anymore. She was one of the three that always stays on the right side, and she looks at least 35 years old. She's skilled I guess, since I've seen this lady a lot in Korean pop girl group performances as a backup dancer. There is a new girl who replaced her.

Something is missing in this performance. I'm not sure if it's the outfits, stage, camera work, or the member's energy levels and facial expression. I like all Sugar Free performances, including this one, but so far the September 14th Inkigayo one is still my favorite.

I'm pretty excited for this, good luck to them. On Netizen Buzz, when they release a T-ara article, I keep reading the English translations of the top Korean Netizen comments from T-ara articles on Korean music websites, and they are still not supportive. I highly doubt that they will become a top 5 girl group again in South Korea. They will stay around 12th place for a bit I think. I would like to see T-ara focus less on South Korea. In Japan, they have lost a lot of popularity, although so have Girls' Generation and Kara. I think they should focus less on Japan. In Usa, it will be tough for them to get popular and also release many title tracks I think, so I don't know if they should be doing much promotions in Usa besides an occasional concert in LA/NY/SF. I keep reading about their popularity being very high in China, and also I believe some other East Asian countries (that aren't South Korea and Japan), like Vietnam if I remember right. I think it's a great idea for them to be the first Korean pop girl group to do heavy promotions in China and see what they can accomplish there. They got this contract in place now and hopefully they have studied enough Chinese language to speak and sing it well. I'd like to see them release at least two Chinese language title tracks in China in 2015. So they will have to reduce their promotions in South Korea and Japan, and not do too much in Usa. In addition to this, in order to free up time, I think they should not promote T-ara N4 and QBS, since there is only a finite amount of time available. I think in 2015 they should release two title tracks in South Korea, two in Japan, and two in China. While not doing Usa non-concert promotions, and also not doing T-ara N4 and QBS promotions. What do you think? Eunjung is looking forward to their Chinese promotions and is hopeful! :-)

That's great that there are some articles on them on English language music sites and they are doing well on that chart. They have released the remix album on iTunes and there is a music video for a remix on Youtube. But I think the album should also be released on Beatport and Amazon and they should have had a full release for the physical CD. With more promotions I think it will be more successful in Usa and other non-Korea countries. I think a vinyl release would be great also!

That's great to hear about Jiyeon and Hyeri. Girl's Day is one of my favorite girl groups as well and I like Hyeri a lot! Jiyeon is friends with IU and Suzy also? I'd like to see Jiyeon back on Music Core again too. What Korean pop girl group members are close with T-ara members?

That picture says that only 500 copies were made unfortunately. I will have to find a website or some way to buy this album from somebody. Maybe somebody can message DJ Ferry please and ask for more information. I'm also interested if he says if it's 18 tracks not 16. How are they going to strongly promote this cd in Usa if it's not available on cd or vinyl or online download on iTunes/Beatport/Amazon/Etc? Has CCM released any other information?

Good luck to Jiyeon and T-ara and their staff! I wonder what the cause of this is. She performed again since this so hopefully she has improved enough. Hopefully she has enough rest to recover, and everybody can keep their health up. Nine great pictures of Jiyeon: My favorite picture is the third. Which picture is your favorite?

I am waiting for English subtitles. I do not know of this show. What is this show? What are they talking about? Please let me know.

I still want to buy the physical cd, which I believe has 18 tracks. Does anybody know how I can buy it? I believe that they have not released recent news about it's sale. I hope it's not like printed in only 100 copies or something, since I want it. Meanwhile, T-ara's new remix album is still not yet released on Beatport. Anchang please message DJ Ferry about this since you have Facebook and/or Soundcloud accounts? Then we can update the T-ara fans here in this post.

Great performance but for my personal preference I think that I am not super excited about this performance's outfits/stage/camera work, although I still like all Sugar Free performances. Notice at 2:00 how Hyomin is petting Jiyeon (or helping to fix her necklace)! I'm jealous of Hyomin, and I'm also jealous of Jiyeon.

Please update your post with the video of their performance of I Don't Want You. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7KfQ-VH87E These are great performances. This is one of their best performances of Sugar Free. It's interesting to watch all the performances and see the differences in the outfits, stages, and camera angles. In the closing clip, in the first shot, I saw a hot girl in the back and wondered what girl group she was from, then I realized it was Jiyeon! I didn't immediately recognize her but that was only for a small moment since I was distracted!

This is what the cd looks like: I'm trying to buy it but it hasn't been released yet I think. There is a giveaway to win a copy of the cd, but it may be finished now: Great! I bought the And&End album but am waiting for it to arrive. I wanted to buy the limited edition with a poster in a tube but it was sold out on YesAsia. I am thinking of buying the poster separately on Ebay. I'm also thinking of buying And&End again since they are selling copies with all six member autographs here: http://mwave.interest.me/meetgreet/view/97 What items of these four is everybody buying? Sugar Free is #4 on the Billboard World's Digital Songs chart, and And&End is #12 on the World Albums Chart, from the September 27th chart. I believe that I'm not allowed to post a link but there is a thread about this in the music sub-forum on OneHallyu. Congratulations T-ara!

That's a pretty good photo! There should be one for this photo I think as well: By each person it would be good if it listed their name, age, and roles in the group (like main vocalist). Are you buying the remix album? Can anybody confirm that there is a limited edition 18 track cd coming out? I downloaded the mp3's from the Youtube channel already, using 4k Video Downloader, but will buy the physical album when it's released. Track 16 is my favorite, then track 8. After this would probably be track 2 or track 10. What is everybody's favorite track on the remix album?

A new official remix is released! T-ARA (티아라) - Sugarfree (DJ Beatrappa, Ferry, Tera) (Eng.) - [EDM Club Sugar Free Edition] This is great! I wonder if it's the same remix that was in one of the teaser videos, the one where the guy screamed? The Youtube video image shows new artwork! Maybe this uploader bought this somewhere already? Or leaked it? EDIT: Here's the playlist: 01.Sugarfree (DJ Beatrappa, Ferry, Tera) (Eng.) 02.Sugarfree (DJ Ferry) (Eng.) 03.Sugarfree (DJ Big Bounce) (Eng.) 04.Sugarfree (DJ Dion) (English Ver.) 05.Sugarfree (DJ Jeffrey Choi) (English Ver.) 06.Sugarfree (DJ Phatsound) (English Ver.) 07.Sugarfree (Monster Factory) (English Ver.) 08.Sugarfree (Original Edit) (English Ver.) 09.Sugarfree (DJ Beatrappa, Ferry, Tera) (Korean Ver.) 10.Sugarfree (DJ Ferry) (Korean Ver.) 11.Sugarfree (DJ Big Bounce) (Korean Ver.) 12.Sugarfree (DJ Dion) (Korean Ver.) 13.Sugarfree (DJ Jeffrey Choi) (Korean Ver.) 14.Sugarfree (DJ Phatsound) (Korean Ver.) 15.Sugarfree (Monster Factory) (Korean Ver.) 16.Sugarfree (Original Edit) (Korean Ver.) It shows English and Korean versions of eight remixes. It only shows 16 tracks not 18. I guess the regular online download will be these 16 tracks and they will release a limited edition physical cd with the full 18 tracks (which may also be available for online download). This is a great remix but too bad we are kinda getting less remixes than expected. What do you think of the remix? EDIT: I'm refreshing all these sites for more info: Tiaradiadem Front Page, Tiaradiadem Forums, T-ara World, Allkpop, Beatport, Youtube, and another site. For Youtube I sort by date uploaded and search for: ("t-ara" | "티아라") Check out the Youtube channel for the video, this uploader uploaded the remix that was in the music video! This person has the album! We want it too! :-O EDIT: Melon has released the album for sale: http://www.melon.com/album/detail.htm?albumId=2283336 I am on the lookout for the limited edition physical cd release. I'm keeping an eye on Beatport. I keep editing and updating this post so refresh this thread. Keep an eye on this channel, the uploader (rhwodmsMusic Chart ll) is currently uploading the tracks: EDIT: The first two remixes ruled! I'm listening to the third remix and it's great also! Is anybody out there? EDIT: Bugs has released the album for sale: http://music.bugs.co.kr/album/453115 I haven't checked other Korean music sites yet. So far the first six tracks have been uploaded on that channel and they all sound great! I will buy the album but I believe that there is a limited edition 18 track cd, correct? I'm waiting for that and will buy it. I see that track seven is now online on that Youtube channel so I'm loading it now. Track eight is the English version of the original song, it should be exciting! EDIT: Girls' Generation's new Japanese title track just got leaked and/or released on OneHallyu, but I won't listen yet since I'm super focused on T-ara right now! Track eight is uploaded now. It's the English version of the original edit, and it's great! EDIT: Track 16 is uploaded on the channel. It's not the Korean "Big Room" version that they perform on music shows as I expected. It's a long version of the regular Korean version. It's the long version of track two from their mini-album. It's really great! When they release the limited edition 18 track cd version of this remix album, I wonder what the other two tracks will be. Maybe it will be the English and Korean versions of another remix. Or maybe it will be the Korean "Big Room" that they perform on music shows plus it's either it's instrumental or a different new track. I hope it's the Korean "Big Room" version and it's instrumental, from the And&End mini-album. This album is amazing, and one of the greatest Korean pop albums I've ever heard. All T-ara fans should immediately buy it and support T-ara! :-)

The remix album will be released on the Beatport website. It will come out on September 24th Korean time. It's 9:30am in Korea right now. I wonder if it will be released at noon. I read something about there being a limited edition, but am not sure what that meant. Maybe what it means is that you can buy the album as a download or as a cd, and that the cd will be limited quantities. Edit: Here's a great recent clip of the members playing a rock paper scissors type game. Watch for a super special surprise from 2:32 to 2:36!

The interview was pretty interesting. Their clothing in the interview is pretty great and I was hoping they would perform in them. Hyomin isn't wearing a jacket this time. They performed in different clothing though. This game was recorded at some earlier time I think, maybe last week's episode. The red clothing they performed in is great though! The camera angles are great. Probably SBS (Inkigayo and The Show) has the best camera work compared to the other shows: -Mnet M! Countdown -KBS Music Bank -MBC Music Core -SBS Inkigayo -MBC Show Champion -SBS MTV The Show -Arirang Simply K-Pop I've seen all Sugar Free performances. This is my second favorite after 140914 SBS Inkigayo and third would be 140921 SBS Inkigayo. Notice how my top three are all SBS! Did you notice how SBS has great camera work for Sugar Free?
