T-ara's Jiyeon For July's InStyle Magazine Korea



After playing the role of a rebellious student in KBS2's 『God Of Study』, T-ara's Jiyeon has kept a steady interest in acting by following up the drama with the film, 『Death Bell 2』. T-ara's maknae shows the fashionista side to herself in July's issue for InStyle Magazine.



「As it is my birthday, I'm sad because I wanted to spend today with my family. Due to my busy schedule, I miss the simple pleasures of gossiping with my friends at school and just walking around the streets.」

It was after becoming a household name with T-ara as a successful idol group that Jiyeon began considering giving acting a chance as an 『acting-idol』. 「I actually prepared to act before debuting as a singer. I had fun filming my first drama, 『God of Study』, because it felt as if I was playing with my friends at school. Because of that, I was relieved of my nervousness and any burdens.」



「Because I'm still young, it's kind of difficult trying to portray a sexy image. During our performances, I just do as the older members tell me, and try to express a 『scary-yet-chic』 look with my eyes. However, I think the most important thing is confidence in myself. Just because you overly expose yourself doesn't make you sexy.」

Once again taking another acting challenge, Jiyeon will be playing a student part in 『Death Bell 2』, a separate story line from 『Death Bell』, in which students are made to compete to keep themselves alive. 「In films, the lines are long, and the fact that I have to put all of my emotions into every single scene was difficult. It was like I was testing my limit?」



「My final goal? Our group name is 『T-ara』. I want for us to be able to work hard as both actresses and singers, and eventually excell in that area to wear a crown.」

Playing the part of the silent and cold character, SaeHee, in 『Death Bell 2』; fans will see the transition from a bubbly character to a serious one. While she was warned to be cautious about picking out a complete different character, Jiyeon stated that she was looking forward to the challenge and showed off a bright smile.

SNSD ranked #1 on K-POP Girl Group imported CD Ranking HMV ONLINE



The interest in K-POP has been noticed early on, as HMV Japan as actively introduced them. At HMV Shibuya there is one floor dedicated to imported CDs and one booth is for K-POP and is a great feature. To put together our K-POP Promotion Team, we have focused on bringing together those in the different departments of HMV who like K-POP. It started in 2007 when HMV advertised in a free paper (Note: This is a paper with a lot of advertisements), they started a corner in the shop and the K-POP imported CDs were done in a large-scale and were a great appeal.

The member who managed this alone from the start Watanabe Shouhei said, 「In 2007~2008, Powerful girl groups like Wonder Girls, SNSD, KARA and others, are rapidly appearing. Their dances and songs could be compared favorably to western music and they're wonderful. All of them are charming.」

This time, the K-POP fans are checking the girl group movement as expected. The amount of new fans is increasing so much that, while K-POP used to be located in the World Music corner, it is now its own section, and in November 2009, HMV Shibuya created a dedicated booth on the first floor for it.

Nomiyama Saneuji of the merchandise HQ international department says this about K-POP fans, 「Of course there are more females. They』ve gotten into K-POP through boy groups, and also listen to girl groups.」 EC HQ international department Kadosawa Hideyoshi adds, 「Because of that core class of fans who think "they're from the same label so I'll give them a listen", having done that, that artist's visibility increases, and they can reach people who haven't heard of them before without seeming out of place. So, just like that they're popularity is spreading little by little. Most people have heard of both the boy groups and girl groups.」

The top 3 who are expected to have a big break in Japan, 2NE1, SNSD, KARA

In the middle of 2010, girl groups are coming one by one to have their major Japan debut. KARA had an interview in May about their debut, 4Minute has had their first Japanese concert, and they've been big in the media. Since 2007 the girl groups in Japan have been waning. From now on, groups are continuing to debut in Japan, and who will have their big break this year?

kadosawa-shi believes about the girls' performances, "In these three years, they've gone through a spirited evolution. with their strategies, and are filling a niche that J-POP and western music can't catch up with. So, now in the light of the imported CD movement, if you were wondering who we think will have a big break in Japan out of the girl groups, 「The top 3 are: 2NE1, SNSD and KARA. Next is f(x), T-ara, AFTER SCHOOL whom also have a good expectation.」

Also, there's a topic of if the girls will immediately make it big in Japan or not. On the internet, lots of chatter about KARA and 4Minute having to compete has shown up, but in reality the market is quiet. Watabe's analysis is, 「The possibility that this is a temporary boom cannot be denied, so continuous exposure is very important.」 Oikawa Jou of Content department of EC HQ says, 「The vital thing to watch out for are the coming debuts of KARA and SNSD. If these two groups are successful, it should cause quite a commotion. Moreover, it will be good if they can appear more on TV to viewers.

It certainly feels like a movement is forming. More and more girl groups are debuting this year and creating a foundation that seems like it will be a key to success. The 4-person K-POP Promotion team all agree, 「K-POP as a genre is huge, make no mistake. We all want the 「wave」 to come. (Note: Wave being the hallyu/Korean wave) We want to cause a big boom!」 Through continuous communication with fans, they say they will proactively continue to distribute information.
