T-Ara with Jin Hye Won

New photos of T-Ara with Jin HyeWon a.k.a. 'Little Goo Hara' were released and it seems like she is really close with her Sunbaes. Jin HyeWon is from the upcoming mixed 9-member group from Core Contents and the group is said to be made up of 4 female members and 5 male members.

I know the rumors about her replacing another T-Ara member were cleared before but if ever Core contents decide to add her on T-Ara would you support T-Ara and its 7 members?

T-ara Jiyeon's main complaint? "Not having high school memories"!

T-ara's Jiyeon from the movie, "Death Bell 2" was found today imitating her high school life by eating both ddukboki (spicy rice cake) and eating tempura (?).

In a recent interview with Newsen, Jiyeon said to the reporter, "I'm hungry, can I not eat anything? I want to eat ddukboki," she said with a shy smile.

While eating she said, "In school with my friends, I used to always eat ddukboki after class and relax. I thought I'd like doing that again, but it's not easy to do anymore. After becoming an idol, there's no stop!"

Jiyeon made her debut as an idol at 16 year olds while in high school. At such a young age, she wasn't able to have experience a lot of things most kids her age do or have the same memories.

"All the friends I had in middle school are still my friends, but I do not get a chance to see them a lot. Because of my unique personality, I actually did not have a lot of friends. I always wanted to make more friends, I guess."

Jiyeon wasn't able to have a normal high school experience. 'School field trips' and 'retreats' were something she was never able to do or have memories of.

"I love my unnies (older sisters, aka T-ara) and my living quarters, but because I'm such a young age I never was able to go on school field trips with my friends. I've always wanted to visit a fun place on a school field trip. The two friends that will always be my friend are my brother and sister, we always talk."

Jiyeon said, "I'm happy I have a lot of memories with T-ara." Being a combination of an actress and a singer is not easy, but being the greedy high school girl she is, this is what she dreamed of becoming.

Currently, Jiyeon is promoting her movie, "Death Bell 2". It's scheduled to be released July 28th.

T-ara Jiyeon, "My schedule was murderous"!

T-ara's Jiyeon talks about the first half of 2010, the busiest time of her life.

At that time she was both shooting the KBS 2TV drama "God of Study" and busy doing activities promoting T-ara's "Bo Peep Bo Peep". Her schedules began overlapping.

On this subject Jiyeon said, "I felt sorry towards my unnies the most," she said.

In a recent interview Jiyeon said, "It was a murderous schedule. 'Bo Peep Bo Peep' activities and 'God of Study' recording overlapped and there were many times I was unable to appear on stage as a T-ara member," she confessed.

"Everything was more difficult because of the scheduling," Jiyeon said, "The members felt sorry for the difficult time I was having. I couldn't even make rehearsal for dance practice a lot of times, or go up on stage which gave me a burden," she said feeling sorry for the other members.

Following, "We weren't living harmoniously/living the same schedule. A lot of times I was left alone and felt lonely and was sad about missing out on stuff. I couldn't even make the interviews because I needed to rest," she uttered with tears in her eyes.

Jiyeon being only 17 years of age, works nearly twice as much as adults. "But I knew I could not abandon my dream of acting. I wanted to somehow be recognized for it. I wanted to be able to showcase spectacular performances and give a 180 degree change in acting.

Jiyeon is currently promoting her new movie, "Death Bell 2". It's scheduled release is on the 28th of July.

T-ara Gets a New Member and New Leader

When Core Contents Media announced that T-ara would be going through some big changes in the near future, they really meant it!

T-ara will now be a seven member group as Ryu HwaYoung, a seventeen year old high school student, is the group's newest addition. Ryu HwaYoung will be replacing Jiyeon as the new maknae of T-ara. This isn't the first time that the public has met HwaYoung, as she already made an appearance on an SBS variety show back in the end of May. In addition, HwaYoung as well as her twin sister HyoYoung are quite popular on the internet. The two also participated in this year's Gaya contest.

Along with the news of a new member, T-ara's leader will not be Eunjung anymore. The new leader of T-ara will be Boram.

All of these changes were not easily decided, as T-ara and the staff held a meeting that lasted for a duration of five to six hours. There were split opinions and it was difficult to come to such decisions.

Everyone is probably shocked with these two announcements, but let's all continue to support T-ara as these changes were made to bring more success to the group in the future.

Why Were Changes Made to T-ara?

Fans were very shocked to hear of the changes in girl group T-ara, which mainly consisted of adding a new member and passing on the title of leader to Boram. A representative for the girls was selected to come out and explain the reasoning behind the changes to the group.

It was first stated that because T-ara now had a new member, the girls should now be able to perform on stage more effectively. The girls will also receive lighter schedules if it is determined that they are becoming too stressed out. What's even more exciting for fans is that T-ara's entertainment company hinted at the possibility of individual activities for the members in the future since they're getting so big!

The representative went on to say that 「Hyomin is preparing for a drama shoot and future individual activities. In this case, it means [that the] girls can't regularly be on stage or record often, or else members would be missing and that's why we recruited a new member to hold activities and keep interests in T-ara [high, instead of being in dramas or movies.]」

President Kim Kwangsoo also revealed that the seven girls together will be working together to create their next album. 「T-ara's album title song has not yet been decided, but as before, it'll be different from before and a concept that the new member also fits in,」 he stated.
We'll all be looking forward to seeing what all seven girls have to offer when the time comes for them to promote their new album!

Jiyeon, 'I had a hard time filming Death Bell 2.'

Just fresh from finishing her recording of 'Death Bell 2', T-ara's Jiyeon talks about the hardships she faced while filming for the movie.

She talks about the comparisons made by people among her and Death Bell 1's female lead Nam Gyu-ri. She explains, "Because I'm one of the leads, I feel alot of burden. I don't take any scene light-heartedly or lackadaisically. I knew from the start I will be compared to Nam Gyu-ri-sunbaenim*, because she was the female lead in the first installment of Death Bell, and she won an award for her spectacular acting. Sometimes, I already memorize the scene because we will repeat it for about 10 times."

Jiyeon, who already had debuted in previous dramas prior to her debut in T-ara, most notably in MBC's Hon(Soul) says even with T-ara's busy schedule, she had to sacrifice sleep just to film. She has missed a couple of T-ara's group performance because of her filming.

Meanwhile, Death Bell 2 will be released nation-wide in South Korea on July 28th. It will also be shown in Taiwan and Hongkong in different film festivals.

T-Ara Jiyeon and Yoon Si Yoon Pictures

Jiyeon and Yoon Si Yoon's photos were revealed on the net showing their bond and friendship. These two have worked together before through T-Ara's 'Bubi Bubi' CF and also through the sitcom 'High Kick' in which Jiyeon had a cameo role.

This two are also part of the main cast of the much awaited movie 'Death Bell 2' which will be out on theaters this July.

Young Gun's 'Must let you go' MV feat. Jiyeon

Young Gun's Music Video for his song 'Must let you go' featuring T-Ara's maknae Jiyeon has just been released and it was quite good.

Jiyeon had the chance to show not only her cute side but also her great acting skills in this music video. This MV seems to be unfinished or something, could there be a continuation MV? I hope so *crosses fingers* ^^

Watch the Music Video here and tell us what you think about it?

"T-aradotcom" determined to go off air!

On the 7th, the KSCS held a disappointing meeting that determined shows that were violating the broadcasting rules.

Within the shows that were banned including the girl group T-ara's television show, "T-aradotcom" which followed the process of entrepreneurship of their online shopping mall, T-aradotcom. "T-aradotcom", which was aired on ongamenet and On style, was banned because of blatant product advertising of their online shopping mall.

Other shows banned included Ystar's "Ghost Spot Season 3", etc. M.net Countdown and Music Bank also, both got their broadcast age limit upped to age 15.

T-ara's Jiyeon, "It's time to stop." Fans are worried!

Jiyeon who's the youngest of idol group T-ara, revealed a confession through Twitter.
Jiyeon will start her entertainment activity through a female variety show called SBS 'Heroes'. She showed us a fresh image of her in Incheon when they're having a photo time for 'Heroes' on July 6th.

After the photo time at July 7th in dawn, she wrote at her Twitter account, "I ran while only looking in front. It's time to stop." her meaningful post has attracted attentions. Fans who visited her Twitter thought "Maybe it's a confession about her 'Murder Schedules'."

Actually before she debut, she did her casting for MBC's drama 'Soul' and since then she has no time to spend for herself. T-ara's debut and her all day long shooting, after shooting straight to practice room, 'Lies' choreography practice, music program broadcast, events, etc. She can't even sleep properly due to her 'murder schedule'.

She also did some activities with T-ara like TTL, Like the First Time, Bo Peep Bo Peep, without taking a breath. Then shooting a drama for KBS called 'God of Study', activities with T-ara in repackaged album 'I Go Crazy Because of You', and a new movie 'Death Bell 2'. She handles all these busy schedules at such a young age.

Netizens who heard about the news gave some sad testimonies like, "Through that time she was running busily without even took a breathe, now I could feel her tiredness." - "We could see her tired expression.", "How much tired feelings a young person could felt." - "She can't even sleep in her playing age…How many events she has." - etc.

While waiting for Jiyeon's movie 'Death Bell 2' which will be released on July 29, 2010, why not enjoy this beautiful photos of Jiyeon in school uniform first?

She's so lovely, isn't she?

T-ara's Eunjung Wants to be an Action Movie Star

T-ara's Eunjung, who is currently on SBS' drama Coffee House, talks about her childhood dream of being an action star and the differences between singing, dancing and acting.

In a recent interview, Eunjung talked with a smile about her dream saying, 「After I watched 『Charlie's Angels』, I fell in love with the action and knew I wanted to be an action star. Back in middle school I started taking Tae Kwon Do lessons and won three different competitions. I imagined myself later, on-screen defeating evil villains.」

She also talked about her nickname, The Human Folder, and the difference between acting, singing and dancing,

「I don't know about my nickname, it was 『The Human Folder』. I got it because whenever I was at home resting, or sleeping, my body folded like a folder.
Singing, acting and dancing is not much different. Singing is different by being only three minutes, while acting is something you can show off in. They both have different environmental elements too, such as the studio or stage. To succeed in both areas without putting any great effort seems impossible, though.」

Do you think T-ara's leader has what it takes to take a bite into an action movie role?

T-Ara wears Levi's sunglasses!

Among the T-Ara members Hyomin loves sunglasses the most and this time we will ask you one question, who wore it better?

This is unusual because usually it is between two different idols or groups but this time its among the T-Ara members so what can you say who wears it better?

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.
