[13.11.07] Video HD - Arirang's Korea Today : A Sit-Down with T-ara (Eng) Credit: Arirang Today @ Youtube Arirang TV is really paying a lot of attention to T-ara these days..

Official vid at MBCKpop:

Wow.. Four point two out of five stars.. this movie is looking good.. and based on the reviews, a huge part is due to Hyomin's acting.

Sorry to hear that.. well there is always the first link from 뚜 껑 @ youtube

Official Inkigayo video.. It's probably just me but Jiyeon looks like she's really having fun on stage today... (It's supposed to be a sad song Baby D ) Credit: SBSmusic1 @youtube

Yeah, they jumped from #11 last week to #4! So, along with Music Bank this week it's: #2 Inkigayo #2 GAON Album Chart #5 GAON Digital Chart (Jumped from #15 last week) #1 GAON Social Chart (stayed) #5 Instiz Weekly Chart (Last week #6) #4 Billboard K-Pop Top-100 (jumped from #6) #11 GAON Streaming Chart (Jumped from #49) Not too bad for a group that said they would've been happy just to get #9 as the song goes.. PS: Was Mnet's M Countdown off this week?

Since its a cover of a legendary song it probably would be kinda like that Bingeul-Bingeul project.. MV & song but no live performance at music shows (hoping that I'm wrong though) but anyway since it's about the 7080~era and KKS loves to get nostalgic about those turbulent days in Korea (remember SPEED's debut songs?) I'm really hoping for a mini drama... The Roly Poly Gang needs to ride again!

Well.. rehashing & uploading footage they already have doesn't cost that much while it takes time, money and a lot of effort to make another mini drama. Promotion wise, It's a bit too late for a Number 9 drama MV so hopefuly if Number 9 is successful we will get another one in the future so please don't stop buying, viewing, liking, sharing the song (through official means).

Official Inkigayo Vid at SBSMusic1: Thanks for the ending!! WOW did Number 9 get #2 (despite Shinee)? Awesome performance plus the outfits blows me away! And the fact that their back with the original choreography makes me believe that Jiyeon has gotten better..

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.

Once again T-ara members show how strong & determined they are, no wonder Hyomin looked concerned at the airport when she left for the Jinx premier.. also impressed on how everyone stood during the dance part where they should've kneel together to accommodate Jiyeon.. Btw official video at Mnet's youtube channel:

Well, seen the 2nd version.. girls look awesome but yeah its a bit short and such a waste of an opportunity.. oh, well back to replaying the original version, which is all kinds of perfect for me..

You know the silver-lining from all of the drama T-ara had to face is that you can still sense that the girls are still grateful, excited and enthusiastic about their work. You can still feel their 'hunger' as their mind set is not of an 'overworked-popular-idols-drudging-from-schedule-to-schedule' but more like a fresh new rookie group grateful for any opportunity they can get and working hard to achieve their dreams.

Really sorry for those who can't access SBSMusic1 but just a consolation by this time it has around 84,000 views (yay!) 1,500 likes (yay!) and 237 dislikes (boo!)

Hell yeah.. I'm buying it! Hope they will have a different MV for the J-version and I'm quite intrigued with that 'A-HA' bonus track for the regular version. . The only thing is I wish, the Japanese songs would also be sold to iTunes users outside of Japan. I had to wait weeks before my Target CD arrived..

Please also support T-ara at SBS's official youtube channel SBSmusic1:

You can get the digital booklet for free if you bought the 'Again' mini-album from iTunes... best $2.5 I spent in my life (..still pre-ordered the physical album from Yesasia though)

Is that the number of donations tallying up in the left corner? Final tally after the song ended was 27854000 wons or around US$26,000.... not bad, I hope the family can really use it.

It's Music Bank.. KBS probably thought 'I'm addict' will ruin the minds of the South Korean youth and censored it

Videos at MNet's Official youtube channel: Because I know Number 9

Wow great news.. its twice as much as I was hoping for. Reminds me of the time they released Yayaya and Waeroni at the same time.. Hope the second song will stand up on its own and not just be a b-side song... but then again T-ara B songs are also always awesome.

Besides Number 9 there will be 4-5 new songs? Awesome! But I'm a bit divided between having new songs against getting Korean versions of Bunny Style & Target (with live dance).. but I guess the two songs won't fit well with Number 9's concept. I wish they would try to do it down the line though. Anyway I'm itching so much to pre-order the album (that and the DVD for the Treasure Box tour).
