nathaniel Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 [12.05.22] T-ara team up with TTOMA to help raise money for the less fortunate Girl group T-ara has teamed up with worldwide known cartoon character TTOMA and will help raise money for the less fortunate. T-ara entered into a contract with TTOMA company to make TTOMA character "oxygenated drinks" called TTOMA O2 BIEN and spread the word about them. T-ara has participated in various volunteer activities in the past. Last winter, they donated necessities for elderly and provided free meals for the less fortunate. They've also volunteered helping people with disabilities and making donations as well as during the Japanese nuclear accident. TTOMA O2 BIEN are sold in bottle form, and a portion of the sales are donated to helping the needy. On the 23rd, T-ara with their label mates Davichi and Gangkiz, will participate in the opening ceremony "Fruit of Love" with an autograph event. T-ara, Davichi and Gangkiz commented, "We'll do our best to help those in need when we can." T-ara are preparing for their Japanese tour in June as well as opening their official fanclub on July 14th and holding their first solo concert this summer. *** Source: http://news.nate.com.../20120522n03875 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem BellaLuna, katherine11 and injung 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenCL Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I enjoy reading about T-ara's volunteer work. Really does make me respect them a lot, but on the other hand who is 'TTOMA'? "Worldwide known cartoon character"? Sorry . . . Idk. =__=" I would consider Mickey Mouse a worldwide known cartoon character . . . Nothing against TTOMA though. kuriya17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I had the same thoughts; "Worldwide known cartoon character TTOMA" and i'm like "TTOMA? never heard of it.." maybe it's only known in Asia? meh And T-ara makes me want to do more volunteer work as well Recently i went and helped a classroom of foreigners who are trying to learn English ^^~ winnieBG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maknae23 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Glad that they are doing volunteering work despite their schedules. I had the same thoughts; "Worldwide known cartoon character TTOMA" and i'm like "TTOMA? never heard of it.." maybe it's only known in Asia? meh I am an Asian but I don't know and never heard of TTOMA before. I don't even know how to pronounce it. TTOMA looks scary though (I googled TTOMA image). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreakyFlyBri Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 This is Ttoma: http://img.alibaba.com/wsphoto/v0/498131164/free-shipping-N7-TTOMA-PEN-Korean-cute-cat-Korea-stationery-plastic-shell-automatic-pencil.jpg From what I know he's not so much a cartoon character as he is a brand. He's on practically everything, from pencils to vacuum cleaners...he even has his own radio show and cafe in Korea. But as far as him being internationally known, I dunno about that. This partnership makes more sense, though, when you realize that that Ttoma is a brand and has already been used to endorse practically everything under the sun already.

Mllktea Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 So this cat have appeared in stickers,badges,pencils,hats,rings, i mean i just googled it and all these stuffs came up. I guess even if its not technically a "worldwide known character" it must be a huge business. I'm kinda interested in those oxygenated drinks. Although i read you have to consume only a few ounce of it at a time since consuming the entire bottle might trigger your body to go into a detoxification mode. Although i've also read that oxygenated beverages is just hyped up and you wouldn't really intake all the oxygen that is in the drink anyway, most would be lost when the bottle is opened.

ZZuRRa Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 LMAO,I swear this is the first time I've heard the word TTOMA although I don't know how to pronounce it. I google it for pictures and the yellow cat looks seriously funny to me.The way it smile looks creppy,like this Although I knew that Gang Kiz is going to participate (well,all Gang Kiz's news related to T-ara),it's nice to see that Davichi is going to tag along too.

Scatter_88mil Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Well, looking at the comments here, I guess it's safe to say CCM ovexaggerated/overhyped the news for the 3847576638201847576th time. Never thought that TTOMA was known worldwide to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
