T-ara discusses their new member and new album

[lopezfitzgerald.livejournal.com]

Girl group T-ara came together for a very special interview. T-ara has undergone great changes recently and now gets a holiday. Although they're currently on holiday, they kindly accepted this interview.

Earlier this year, T-ara's "Bo Peep Bo Peep" and "I Go Crazy Because of You" became recognized by every one. After that, Eunjung, Jiyeon, Qri, Hyomin and Boram all underwent acting jobs with Soyeon preparing for hers, making all six of them actresses. This created even greater awareness for T-ara.

After this year's Chuseok season though, T-ara will go back to the music roots with a big change.




T-ara will start preparing 100% for their October comeback with a new mini album. The six girls will resume full-scale activities as a group after it's been nearly six months. But the fans will not be able to call T-ara a six member girl group no longer. That is because Ryu Hwayoung has joined T-ara being the same age, '93, as maknae Jiyeon. She will officially join with the release of this new album. In October, you may call T-ara a seven member girl group.

Eunjung said, "For this year's Chuseok, Hwayoung went down to her hometown Gwangjoo for the long weekend and will return on the 23rd to record together with us for T-ara's new album" about her new dongsaeng.

Hyomin also said, "Now that I have another dongsaeng I have a bigger sense of responsibility and I've become more mature. I will become an unni that gives a lot of help as well as advice to Hwayoung"

Jiyeon: "Now that I have someone my age in the group, it's good," she said smiling.

Ryu Hwayoung is not included in this interview because she hasn't yet officially debuted.



T-ara hasn't been together promoting full scale since "I Go Crazy Because of You" which was six months ago. During this holiday break they'll get to prepare for the new album. They said the new album has an extraordinary passion.

The new leader, Boram said, "On top of a new member joining, since this is the first Chuseok after becoming leader, I feel I have a greater sense of responsibility towards the next album."


Hyomin said, "Since it's a Chuseok we face while we prepare for our new album, more than having thoughts of resting and playing, I want to also work hard preparing during the long holiday weekend in order to show a good side of ourselves on stage."

When the full moon comes over this holiday, all the girls will wish for a successful new album.



Qri said, "I'll be looking at the moon wishing for great success with T-ara's album. It would be good to see that happen, of course."

Soyeon also said, "I wish for T-ara to finish strong this year with our comeback album."

"This is a great time to go outside the house, spend all day watching television and eat a delicious holiday meal, I know I will," Hyomin said, "Fans should turn on the TV because they will see T-ara every day in special shows."

The T-ara members final words were, "Have a great holiday with your family and relatives. We will send hopeful prayers your way. Make sure you make a wish when the moon is full, you do not want to have a blank mind!"

I totally forgot they were getting a new member.

They're all looking so presh.

[queenhinata.livejournal.com]

well see how the member is soon enough...

defiantly lookin forward to all these Ocober comebacks!!

[onerainysunday.livejournal.com]

hyomin with bangs is unrecognizable to me

[pistolkrystle.livejournal.com]

Me too, she is how I found out about T-ara through invincible youth so I always look for her first. Lately it's been hard to spot her.

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]

meh..I'm not crazy excited about their comeback & the constant changes (I barely even know 3 members) but i guess if their music won't be as crappy as bo beep bo beep then I'll give it a listen.

[lopezfitzgerald.livejournal.com]

what constant changes? this is the first time any changes have happened since their debut

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]

are you serious? they went from 5 members to 6 to 7, then changed the leader. they've had so many changes and they were mostly before debuting but they were already in the spotlight anyways.

[lopezfitzgerald.livejournal.com]

yep... just one change (new member/new leader) since their debut over a year ago

[toomanysides.livejournal.com]

I really don't get why they added a new member. They are incredibility successful...

This fall is going to be exciting!

[lopezfitzgerald.livejournal.com]

to spread the workload... more members = more money for the company

[toomanysides.livejournal.com]

For group activities, each member will make less money, and I don't think there will be any significant increase in group activities just because they added one more member... so the company isn't making much more other than this new member's solo activities (which isn't going to be much since she still goes to school, right?). Doesn't make a while lot of sense given their popularity and their wide range of members.

[lopezfitzgerald.livejournal.com]

if they work her as much as they do with eunjung/jiyeon/hyomin and have her start acting in movies and stuff they'll definitely make more money by adding her

[imyoona.livejournal.com]

her sister is prettier though D:

They all look gorgeous. I WANT THEIR COMEBACK NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[lopezfitzgerald.livejournal.com]

hwayoung is the prettier one, hyoyoung didn't look good until they caked all that makeup on her face

[imyoona.livejournal.com]

in the pictures of them together and of them with Hyewon(?) and Jiyeon , Hyoyoung looks prettier than Hwayoung.

[lopezfitzgerald.livejournal.com]

actually i can't judge by those pix coz jiyeon was glowing so much that all 3 of the others looked bad in comparison :(

[imyoona.livejournal.com]

lmfao too bad that's so true >.<

but the ones of them two alone I could judge :P

[twinkystar16.livejournal.com]

i think hyoyoung is the miss chunyang right?

[steeele.livejournal.com]

Eunjung looks all hot and leader-ly in that gif.

[retrobabies.livejournal.com]

she's in china

[lopezfitzgerald.livejournal.com]

yepp she used to share a room with jiyeon and hyomin but after they moved to a bigger dorm (because of the hauntings) she sleeps with eunjung and soyeon

[retrobabies.livejournal.com]

yes she did but she's being a trainee right now and preparing so its ok you know!

[retrobabies.livejournal.com]

it probably is hard but it happens a lot like to seeya, kara, wondergirls, etc.. im sure she can handle it.. she seems like someone to be more excited than nervous imo :)

[lopezfitzgerald.livejournal.com]
