Girl group T-ara will finally hold an opening ceremony for their official fan club and have a large-scale concert this summer, 3 years after their debut.
T-ara debuted in 2009 with their single “Lies,” and continuously had a succession of hit songs in a span of 3 years, such as “Bo Peep Bo Peep,” “Why are You Being Like This,” “I Go Crazy Because of You,” “Roly-Poly, “Cry Cry,” “We Were in Love,” and “Lovey-Dovey.”
Kim Kwang Soo, the CEO of Core Contents Media, stated that “Around the beginning of this July, T-ara will have an opening ceremony for the official fan club they have been wishing for all this time, and they are planning to meet fans with a new album.” He continued, “Towards the end of July, they will have a large-scale concert to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of their debut.”
CEO Kim Kwang Soo, who won ‘Producer of the Year’ for “Roly Poly” at Gaon Chart’s Award Ceremony, helped propel the T-ara girls to fame with their ‘cat dance’ for “Bo Peep Bo Peep,” disco dance for “Roly Poly,” and shuffle dance for “Lovey-Dovey,” and has now started to think and worry about what kind of music and dance T-ara will use to show another image transformation.
The girls themselves stated, “We were already off to a great start for the year after we won the triple crown for ‘Lovey-Dovey,’ and now we’re going to have the official opening of our fan club and hold a large-scale concert this summer; we’re already so excited and nervous.”

Date: 2012-02-26 11:36 pm (UTC)Fans in Korea are so scattered, so don't really know until July when they have a fanclub to back up their new album.
But international wise, tiaradiadem just hit 31K members yesterday.
p.s. I agree.

Date: 2012-02-27 12:46 am (UTC)Considering SNSD/WG/2NE1 had the Big 3 backing them up, this is quite a feat for T-ara. We'll see how well it goes, though.

Date: 2012-02-27 02:05 am (UTC)I guess what I'm trying to say is rather than a bunch of little venues, wait until you can get one big venue. Less effort, more profit (in the end).

Date: 2012-02-27 02:17 am (UTC)KARA's tour in japan is basically 10 concerts in ~10-14k capacity venues. which isn't huge like tokyo dome (40k) but 10k is pretty much large as you can get for an intimate affair. those venues might just not be cost effective. and tokyo dome is more prestigious if you are invited rather than just renting it out.
Doing one stop in China, Hongkong, Taiwan, Thailand etc just makes it an Asian tour. Not everything is about profit. Image is pretty important, and DSP and KARA is kinda still recovering their for the littlle fiasco last year. KARA makes enough bank in japan and this prob doubles as a vacay for them.
