T-ara returns

T-ara

After debuting in April and a strong display of their vocals with Good Person for the Cinderella Man OST, many were expecting big things from the 5 member girl group. Afterall, they did not seem to be adopting the cute and innocent concept which most girl groups are affilated with.

But the group's debut was postponed after members, Ji Won and Ji Ae decided to leave the group in early June, citing differences in music style. Mnet Media reacted swiftly by drafting in Jeon Young Rok's daughter, Jeon Boram as a new member. New pictures released today revealed that 2 more new members, Qri and So Yeon had been added, making T-ara a 6 member girl group.

The new pictures of the 6 T-ara members were most probably inspired by Lee Jung Hyun's Joolae concept although they kind of overdosed on the use of white. Although they were donning a yellowish-white wig and baring their shoulders, T-ara looked more feminine and innocent, rather than sexy strong. Mnet Media expressed that compared to their initial bubbly young girl image, T-ara is going for a more feminine concept this time. I wonder if they will still stick to ballads or.... I think I would rather not think about it.

More of T-ara will be revealed on 7th July although I am afraid that 2NE1's comeback will most likely overshadow anything that they do. No exact dates were given but T-ara are expected to release their song in mid-July and begin their promotions in early August. Ji Yeon will have to do double duty though, promoting with T-ara and filming for her drama, Soul. Even without 2NE1, girl groups like Kara, Brown Eyed Girls and Jewelry will also be making their comebacks within this period. Let the battle begin!

T-ara

I am not sure if I will still care since Ji Ae is gone.

WHOA! That was umm interesting.. They all looked the same to me.

 
no avatar

i’m a little interested.
I agree with 9, they do seem like dolls.

i kind of hope they don’t stick to ballads though,
I think that’d probably be a mistake.

I really can’t tell them apart.  I like the concept since its kind of different from the rainbow-crazy colors going on right now but there is just too much white.

 
kiddboy's avatar

hahah LOL @ the afros! i hope they become successful tho, they look like they have potential. maybe its pronounced Ku Ri?

The only girl who looks different is Ji Yeon
Everyone else looks the same

 
sks020's avatar

The posters are ugly to the point of even being creepy! They’re all pretty and I’m convinced that they’re all talented vocally and they’re all pretty.. but something about them just doesn’t excite me. I’m not even excited about their upcoming album…

 
lollyflop's avatar

I could definitely tell who JiYeon was, even without the text. Her eyes. -______-

 
no avatar

o-o Wow. At first I thought they were all the same person since of the hairstyle. Their faces are pretty but the hair doesnt look so good at all. But maybe they’re talented. I dont know.

 
jooolaybullay's avatar

i jst wish them luck in the future
:D

kachei's avatar

i thought these girls in the 1st pic is the same person .__.
anyway look forward to seeing how the girls do~

 
pinkdaisyx3's avatar

I cant tell the difference between the girls >__<

 
loveholic's avatar

Creepy, the fact that they have very defining eye makeup on, it’d be extra creepy seeing their eyes appear in a white background.


I have no idea what they’ll do if they don’t do ballads. Something Enya syle? *shudders*

 
Enkuush=]'s avatar

rachii-ee's avatar

These girls look all the same to me O____O They hair reminds me of fairy floss :] Overall…. this is an interesting concept?

 
jeehyuni's avatar

I think they are trying too hard to force a different kind of style/approach from all the girl groups these days.. But i give them props for doing that.. cus I don’t want another cutesy imaged girl group so… anyways i just wanted to say So Yeon kinda reminded me of Bae Seul Ki from the quick glance at her individual picture (first).. & Ji Yeon is kinda pretty I guess but the whole Lee Jung Hyun look doesn’t beautify her image? idk something liek that.. She just looks plain weird cus of her eyes and with those wig… Idk yeah & Hyo Min’s first ind. picture AT THE VERY FIRST GLANCE reminded me of Xiah Junsu.. Please fans don’t bash on me for saying this.. just wondering if anyone else found that.. Idk where I get this from.. But her second picture kinda is ... like Song Hye Kyo (; pretty welll so far. imo.. I think Boram fits the white wig best (; 
Hope their song is a hit… powerful vocals? hope so~ Hwaiting.

wow….
Hah! They look whiter than me! (and I’m albino!) Good luck to them… I’m not sure how this photoshoot will reflect the music, but I hope it doesn’t…much

for some reason That’s Not My Name by the Ting Tings(?) came to mind! LOL

ROFL. Now, we know Jiwon and Jiae weren’t lying when they said they left the group because of differences in opinions concerning the concept. I mean look at this O_O


Best wishes to Jiae and Jiwon still though. Those two have amazing vocals and hopefully they’ll be able to sing and perform in a concept they find fitting.
