[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

Girl group T-ara has signed a contract worth 5 billion KRW (approx. 5 million USD) with Chinese entertainment company Longzhen Cultural Development.

Core Contents Media revealed on September 26 that the contract signing ceremony took place on September 5 in Seoul. In addition to representatives of both agencies, the members of T-ara were present at the ceremony.

Longzhen Cultural Development is known for working with major Chinese stars Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, and A-mei, among others. T-ara is the first Korean girl group to sign a deal with a major Chinese agency, and the company has expressed their high expectations for the group. The annual revenue is estimated to be up to 16.5 billion KRW (approx. 16.5 million USD).

T-ara’s official entrance to the Chinese market will take place on October 13, when a second contract signing session and a press conference are held at the Shinsegae Hotel in Beijing. Starting from October, the members will pursue activities on TV, hold concerts, and shoot commercials in China.

good for them. I hate Sugar Free because it's a terrible song but I wish them success with better quality songs.

... They're gonna be zombies.

They're already overworked as fuck on two markets, going for a third will make them go Walking Dead on the world.

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

that's what my worry is w/ them. the one in the far right of the pic looks dead behind the eyes during the sugarfree perfs recently. how they're going to handle bouncing back & forth between sk, jpn, & chn is beyond me. most of them are already exhausted from the sugarfree promos, & now china too??? not cool ccm, not cool...

They've been zombies for awhile now.

Well, you can't kill whats already dead. (insert Lovey dovey zombie ver. gif)

Don't they get to eat like one sweet potatoes a day then sleep for like 2 hours?
I remember Hyomin saying that her hair was falling out, that's why they gave her short hair a few promotions back.

Good for them. I them wish fast travels and a long career in China.bye

[pom-li.livejournal.com]

Knowing how much effort they put into Japan promotions, I can't wait to see them immersed in China soon. Soyeon and Jiyeon are already working hard at whatever dialect they're speaking!

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Send the rest of them off and keep Jiyeon around for more solos

[fallendaydreams.livejournal.com]

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

YAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

Slay bit. How is it possible for a non-Chinese artist to have the most watched video...then again Gangnam Style.
I would say get money, but I know CCM is keeping it all to pay off his future personal tax fraud.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Yea for my ladies...Eunjung for TW/CHN idol dramas

[kiki3291.livejournal.com]

Slay

even tho I suspect this is CCM doing some media play and buying views, which isn't hard tbh.

[scheisse.livejournal.com]

Smart move considering Korea has moved on!

I wonder how much of that the girls get to see personally.

[waterpulse.livejournal.com]

The more I think about how their CEO completely manipulated them into staying with his trashy fucking company, the sadder I get. ):

[sadistic-dance.livejournal.com]

Slay a bit but also get some sleep.

[kevinmchale.livejournal.com]

YAS ditch the ungrateful korean gp and take over the world!!! preach it OP!!!!!!

[cherrypop.livejournal.com]

I went to a concert last night and T-ara was one of the groups slated to perform. The MC had the nerve to laugh at the almost invisible clapping sound the audience made and repeated "I couldn't hear you. I said, who's ready for T-ARA?" And then there were some claps. Rude.

[calzonazos.livejournal.com]

wow that was definitely rude :( but why was the audience like that? I know netizens still hate T-ara, but I didn't expect to see this attitude in actual concerts ugh

[uguukawaii.livejournal.com]

omg go tf off mothers!!!! where tf are my faves??

Re: Jiyeon Had To Miss The Music Core Special Due To "Acute Indigestion"

[kjesta.livejournal.com]

Wow. Those people need to sit the fuck down and leave Jiyeon alone. I don't even know her, but you know, when your guts are in knots, it's hard to be cute and pretty. They'd have torn her apart anyway for looking strained on stage.

I'm sorry but I laughed,
Nietezens, bless their little hearts.
They never let anything go...Unless it involves their oppars.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Get the money, I guess ?
I'm just worried about how they'll physically be able to perform in Korea, Japan AND now China. Performances, but language classes as well, promotions, etc... :/
