deedeeduck

kinda sad about qri, soyeon and boram gonna do solo activities more nw. dayum man, this fan website are created for the whole T-ara... and now subunits and solo activities T_T i could cry for this lol. and how about danee?

They're moving up (or down) the normal KPop path. But i think it's too early. You'd think after the controversy CCM would focus on promoting their bond and togetherness as T-ARA. Instead he pounces on the wall head-on and widens the crack.
I want to say this won't affect the members but who are we kidding? As much as we see them as angels, they're human. They get hurt. They feel jealousy. A competition exists no matter how friendly.
I'm happy about my EunJiMin (plus areum) sub-unit but I'm also hoping that Soyeon, Boram, and Qri get their own gigs. They're not any less talented. They're part of what got T-ara where they are now.
But more than anything, I just want to see them all together. I mean, it was already painful when Hyomin was missing during Banisuta promotions. Now this? We can only hope for the best, I guess.

i think it will be a lot better if it is just EunJiMin. they just giving Areum a special treatment because i know eunjung and hyomin can rap to. I hope it will be a big hit, i pray for it and no negative reactions from the K-netizens. T-ara Fighting!

I think this is great news for the four mentioned...CCM is sort of having to "reintroduce" T-ara slowly back to the Korean public, so this gives them a chance to show their stuff and remind people why they were considered the most popular members of the group in the first place. As for Areum, it gives her some much needed exposure. I think they'll do well. I just think we need to remember that at this point it's probably a pipe dream to hope for Lovey-Dovey/Roly-Poly sized numbers, if their song can break 2 million in Korea I'll call it a success.
I do think that something similar needs to be done in the near future for Boram, Qri, and Soyeon though. I know Boram and Soyeon got a lot of the hate post-controversy (and, in Soyeon's case, she even became involved with a second scandal with the whole Kakao Talk mess). Then again that might be why CCM's letting them sit this one out. Hopefully they get a chance to show their stuff in the near future as well.
At any rate, it looks like their schedule's picking back up again! They're going to be extremely busy, I'd imagine that around the time they head back to Japan in preparation for their tour they'll also be readying a new single and album to be released to tie in with the concert. I just wonder where Dani fits into all of this, haha.

Hmm, the unnies will focus more on solo activities? A reversal of the previous trend (of EunJiMin having more individual activities). Let's see how things work out.
The change is nice to allow the unnies more exposure (it's been awhile since either Boram or Qri had any such endevours, and we know Soyeon's first venture was cut short). Assuming it's actual projects and not sidelined.
Keep an open mind and see.

You can't just set out to create a trend and think it will be the next biggest craze...

Previous rating n the rating now.. Its double. No wonder, its a first hand Japanese song. Previous were the remakes of Korean songs so may be the interests werent that strong.. Nway, jst happy to hear the news

Why did they have to announce this sooooo early?!?!?! I'm happy to know they will have a comeback its its like 2 months away. But anyways, I CANT WAIT!!!! I MISS THEM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!

After those long BS, the point is they only want to avoid 2 years penalty (#8).
They don't think about how they "will restore her reputation and try our best to remedy the damage" (#6).

So many versions... Maybe this is a test run for sub units, see which ones do well and then maybe focus on those.
Goodbye wallet, was nice to meet you!

Thought this would eventually come about, since Korea's a no-go zone for them at the time being. Since it's all being released on March 20th, that's just 6 days away from my b-day and about two weeks before I'm off to basic training for 16 weeks lol. Plenty of time to see it up in 4shared
Looking at the track list, it looks like the underdogs of the group (Boram and Qri) are finally actually getting something to do on their own rather than looking like backup dancers all the time and doing one-liners.
Hopefully at least some of the stuff is worth listening to (assuming that Shinsadong Tiger or any other Korean producer isn't involved since this is being made in Japan - case example is SNSD in which their J-stuff is a lot worth praising than their Korean ones) because their debut album was honestly quite a letdown being full of remakes and only two original songs that felt rather empty and filler-ish.
As robbe said - why on earth can't it be just in one CD for each editions?

Wow this is really incredible news.. I always dreamed of an Eunjeung solo & excited for the others also. Boram & Qri can actually sing you know if they got the right keys suitable for their voices (Boram even had a solo album before joining T-ara).. oh yeah anyone knows what Banisuta means? Tried to google translate it and came out zip..
Still I would much preferred it if all the songs were combined into one album as I hate to see the girls competing with each other for the sales. Oh, guess I have to buy them all then... DAMN YOU CCM!

This means no Dani in this single neither.
Anyway, with all this song it would have been better release just one CD.

Cool. Though this technically makes it their 'first' Japanese album (as Jewelry Box is more of an EP, with a lot of remakes).
The approach is something I didn't expect. Thought it would be nice to do different versions of a song (TTL or Cry Cry) but with different sub groups singing for each version. But the idea is good - introduce sub groups as well as showcase individual skills. But it poses a risk too, as song selection is critical (match with whatever the singer can do). In any event, let's hope they would be successful -- go out and support the girls.
PS: though from what it appears this will be mighty expensive. Better scrimp and save...

On one hand its really sad & ironically unfair that a conversation with friends could be turned into a widely reported scandal. (Netizens gossiping about Soyeon 'gossiping'? Please... and did she actually said anything mean?) And now no matter what CCM say or do not say, the buzz is already on.
On the other hand.. I totally agree, Soyeon & the other members should've learn by now: DO NOT USE SOCIAL MEDIA FOR PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS especially with a bunch of no-life net-buzzards constantly circling around you trying to find any slight mistake.

Well, good thing is no word as "Soyeon's KAkaoTalk Story account gt hack so resulting personal convo leaked" in any line in the explanation Which is new. XD I doubt T-ara members gonna sign in Twitter or tweet anymore.. The netizens are freaking stalking them frm wherever and once they get something to twist, we'll get a headline like THIS. *sighs* And if there is really someone leaking, must be the 2 out of 3...

CCM publicity stunt to show that they have a capable PR!!!

Don't really get what's th big fuss about it. Does it matter even if they're talking about celebrities? it's like who doesn't talk like that?

I'm pretty darn sure a lot of celebrities are friends with one another, or at least acquainted. I sure as hell don't recall tigers being mentioned in the conversation either. And where did CCM get this '1%' statistic from?
Reading that, it's almost as if CCM's trying to imply that Soyeon has no friends that are celebrities...? XD
If anything, what should be the bigger concern is exactly WHO leaked the conversation in the first place. WHO? Doesn't this get to anyone here? That's the biggest iffy issue to me about this.

Well, everything was explained this time.
Fast and reasonably too.
Did CCM get a new PR boss or something?
Meanwhile, I doubt netizens will believe it, but its nice to see such a prompt reaction.
Also, that Sso picture is awesome.
Kinda odd to casually gossip with each other on a public place, which Kakaostory thingiemajingabob apparently is.
EDIT; Fixed something.

Kerotan: The main issue isn't so much whether or not its meanie meanie Sso being meanie to someone.
Issue would mostly be y'know, netizens being netizens ^^

Enjoyed all the performances, except Roly Poly. DIdn't like how they completely changed the feel of the song by adding the "house/electro" whatever you called it to this particular performance...but that's just me.

That crowd at LD & RP... I just want the next Japanese Single to be First Hand song, not a Korean Song translated into Japanese...
Loads of love and huggiess to Jungiee...

The snow melts even before it hits the girls' skin because they emit hotness...

Omg it was snowing and they were wearing those clothes? O.O
Eunjung especially looked so cold when she was walking.
Anyway, did you guys notice? Jiyeon & Areum holding hands tightly when they were walking on the red carpet ! so sweet (:
