Hey all, it's been so long since I last appeared. Wonder how many can still remember me :/ Glad to see Rinnie & Abra still here though.. Always nice to see familiar names Been away so long due to work.. And EVEN AFTER SO LONG, coming to 1H thread still directs me to adult-finding website Will they ever fix the bug?? Or am i the only one still facing this issue Anyway, I wouldn't come back without a "gift" right.. So here's my trans for an article from Topstarnews on T-ara's popularity in China & the 3 awards that they won. Article sounds bitter at the end but really shows the power of I-Queen's. T-ara is really living-proof that popularity in Korea is not key to surviving if you can get love from overseas. Hoping this popularity in China will convince them to hold the ASIAN tour that they have promised for so long.. T-ara, Why They Are So Popular In China Local girl's group, T-ara, has received the 3 highest honours in China. Their popularity is China is unlike the rest. In a key music award ceremony, "3rd Yinyue V Ranking Annual Awards", they won the highest popularity award, celebrity of the year award and member Jiyeon won the award for best female singer. Particularly for the highest popularity award. it was determined by the voting of fans. Being able to defeat the rest of the well-known artists to win this award has a deep significance. So what is the reason why T-ara is so popular in China. On the 12th, T-ara's agency announced that T-ara had won the highest popularity award, celebrity of the year award and best female singer award in the annual YinYue V Ranking Awards ceremony held in Beijing. Many of the Chinese industry reps expressed that the high popularity of T-ara was due to their songs. Many of the songs are widely popular. "Roly Poly", "TTL", "Bo Peep", "Like the 1st time", "IGCBOY" etc are well-liked not only in Korea but also in China. In addition, their unique songs style and their beat-catching tunes are also key in getting the love of the local fans. Due to their unique concepts, their stage performances are diverse in style and hence, they became the 1st to be considered for invitations for many of the activities. Shuffling dance and retro-dance moves that are choreographed to be easy to follow were effective in their aim. Last year, T-ara collaboration with local popular artist, Chopstick Brotheres, for "Little Apple" also helped raised their recognition in China significantly. With the familiarity of the songs, though unfamiliar faces, this activity raised their level of presence among Chinese fans. Although not fluent, T-ara still tries hard to use Chinese to communicate with their fans. Their effort put in are also recognised and appreciated, adding to their popularity. Learning and being familiar with the Chinese words/phrases to use on performance stages in order to interact with fans is the key in the eyes of T-ara agency. T-ara had also earlier performed in the JB sultan coronation ceremony as the main performing artists on 29 March. They performed 10 songs and along with Taboo from Black Eyed Peas, they were promoted heavily in the local promotion posters. All these overseas activities had led to the accusations of "T-ara are focusing on overseas activities due to their difficulties in domestic activities." If this is indeed true, their strategy has been very successful indeed. source: topstarnews Chinese trans: _转身è½å¯ž/ T-ara tieba Eng trans: beckhie

Yay Rachel, finally got u here!! I just realised i still dont know who yr bias in T-ara is!! LOLL Dont remember you ever told me Since i don't know yours, I shall spam mine to turn you into Hyomin-bias Any rumors/ news on why Hyomin & Jiyeon are in Japan?? Come on guys, hit me with a conspiracy theory lolll. No honeymoon as reason please. More like an affair (yes i am EunMin fan. u can tell from my profile pic)

Yoo wooo.. Back with another translation peeps Hope you all had been well. Skipped here for some time since the last time it directed me to an adult website Article is only partially translated. Didn't bother translating none T-ara parts MBK Entertainment Representative (CEO) Gao Jian Ci: "T-ara, to be the future of Hallyu Wave in China" The survival of the fittest applies to all and the entertainment industry is no exception. With the signing of the China-Korea FTA in Nov 2014, it signifies the birth of increased competition and changes in the entertainment industries of both countries. The beginning of the FTA from March has heightened expectations in many areas from the expansion of artists' activities to movies, dramas and variety. Being rash is definitely undesirable, but with this stream of "China Wave", it has brought about more chances and riskiness for Korea's domestic entertainment companies which has been a topic of 2015. Amidst this trend, there is a entreprise which has been at speedy works, it is none other than MBK Entertainment. MBK former 'self' was CCM, led by KKS. He has led T-ara, Soo ho Jun, F-ve dolls, Speed etc in Oct 2015 to form MBK. (too many technical details, i shall summarise) He emphasises that MBK and CCM are 2 different companies. Prior to MBK, the focus was on stability and completeness. Now in 2015, MBK will be more active in promotions and organising events. Focus is on becoming 'a global entertainment company" [details on background of MBK CEO. not translating it] Q: Let's go straight to it. When did you actually start planning on taking over the reins of CCM? Gao: From April 2014, I already had some plans on a model of entertainment company. So, I started MBK in July last year and formalised it in September. Foremost, out of the many companies, I chose CCM to merge with. It was mainly because KKS & I share the same visions. MBK was perceived by the public to be "CCM" except for the name-change. But this is not the case. Although the original team (artists) remain unchanged, it is essentially a different company from CCM. In the initial stages of forming the company, we prioritise revamping and stability and did not feel the need to specially express this difference. In the future, we will address this misunderstanding. Q: Then what kind of company is MBK? Gao: Our company focus is no longer solely on the Korean market. MBK (Music Beyond Korea), from the name signifies a step above Korean Music. Finding the answer to the globalisation of Hallyu. Hence, I believe taking over CCM was appropriate. The possibility of (our core group) T-ara's oversea activities and growth is especially the focus. Compared to boy bands, the recognition of girl groups has been on the down trend. After "baby vox" in the beginning stages which received exception attention, there aren't that any more. On this level, T-ara holds an unique advantage. In the China market, the response has been good. Although currently the income from Jap activities is higher, with the expansion of the Chinese market, this situation will change. I believe that starting the Chinese activities now will have a big impact. Q: Currently what is the level of T-ara's popularity in China like? Please be specific. Gao: Last year-end, T-ara held a concert at Shanghai. From the realistic point of box office, the ticket sales were of the highest. It ended successfully and the Chinese company had even finished doing up the proposal for the next show. Although it is difficult with the current music sources, but the model of using concerts for profits has already been established. Since the signing with the China agency, T-ara members have been in discussions over movies' and dramas' roles. Without a doubt, we will work hard to achieve it. The purpose for the collaboration of T-ara & China popular duo, Chopstick brothers, for <Little Apple> was also for China's activities. For them to receive continuous love, they must work on local popular works. Although worried about Korea's comments, this decision was made for their China activities. In comparison to a depressing situation, the response so far has been passable. Especially when we found something that stirs up the interest in China. The sales methods have also evolved. "Gangnam Style" found fame through Youtube is a classic example. Chinese trans cr: èªå“¥ï¼Tiara tieba Eng trans: beckhie

Yup, they were both on the same day. They are now in Shanghai for another concert. Is that the 2015 calendar you are referring to? Saw on twitter a fan buying it at T-ara korean concert. Doesn't look to contain a photocard though. Or maybe the fan didnt take a photo of it. Not too sure. Hope you get yours soon. Good luck!!

I know i have been missing for ages and i'm not sure how many of u rem me but i definitely haven't forgotten you guys Seems like there're quite a handful of newcomers around (you can just ignore this if you want haha.) How's everyone doing?? Hope you guys enjoyed your Christmas!! I disappeared due to work and preparing for an exam, though it was mostly work. After starting work, free time is really a luxury. Ya, probably 1 of the few "oldies" here who are working lol. Don't think i will be appearing often for the upcoming months (work as usual) so here's an early HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015 TO ALL QUEEN'S!!! ( in advance lol). Anyway, not sure if my title of "official eng-chinese trans" has been removed LOL. hopefully not.. But I just translated one during my off-day. Took me longer since it's been quite a long since i translated so it's been rusty.. Translated from Chinese as usual, so pardon any grammars/ mistrans. Appreciate if anyone can just me 1 upvote so that it is easier for me to track this in my post. Or 100 if possible too thanks! "Persevering even though it's lonely.. A promise kept 2 years later.." An explosive rumor that resulted in an inreparable impact, from this angle, this definitely looked wrong. But if you examine deeper, you will release they had been maligned but had chosen to continuously maintain their silence. After the incident happened, it snowballed into something bigger and bigger. This without a doubt was an easy target for the hunters, which turned the rumour into "fact". Even for those who want to find out the truth now, it has already become meaningless. For T-ara, they can only grind their teeth and persevere. This 2 harsh years for T-ara had been so lonesome and depressing. Regardless of it, they continue to push on. On the afternoon of 25th, T-ara held their 1st solo concert "dear my family" at Seoul, Gangnam Coex. 2 shows in a day and met with 2200 audience. Compared to the cold internet forum receptions, T-ara's family and fans participated in it. This concert was T-ara's 1st after 6 years of debut and had a special meaning to it. That day, T-ara performed "Cry Cry", "No.9", "Sugar Free" etc (20 songs) for the 2 hrs show. T-ara opened the concert with a christmas-feel theme. T-ara expressed, to their fans who had worked hard in supporting them, their desire to keep their promises. Qri said that "they had really wanted to meet for a very long time." Soyeon: "although we had held many concerts overseas, this is our 1st time in Korea. Thank you everyone for your support and please continue supporting us." Hyomin just said "I am very happy" and started choking back her tears. Jiyeon expressed that "they will perform all the songs they had never been able to perform during this period of time." And Boram said gratefully that "she was very happy and excited & that she can't put her emotions into words." T-ara 1st solo concert was originally planned 2 years and 4 months ago. It was planned for a large scale of 10,000+ audience and it created a ticket sold-out record. T-ara members were also preparing for the concert. But just before the concert happened, the sudden news resulted in the collapse of T-ara. At the same time, the determination of the fans started to waver. In spite of that, T-ara did not give up and they bite their teether and hold the fort and carried on til today. T-ara said, "A few years ago we cancelled our concert. Even though today's scale is not as big, compared to the thousands-scale concert, today's concert is more important and meaningful. We spend Christmas with everyone and in the future, T-ara will work even harder." At the concert's ending, T-ara showed video display of their messages "Thinking of the time that had passed, we sometimes wonder if we can carry on.", "The reason why we can stand up here today is because of each one of you." They further added in their message "We will work harder to make our fans feel that being a Queen's is a good fortune. We hope to become this type of T-ara." After the ending of T-ara domestic concert, they will go to China for their tour. In Sept, T-ara signed a contract to begin their activities in China. These will include concerts for a start, dramas and varieties as well. T-ara concluded at their concert "Today is our 1st solo concert and there are many areas for improvement. T-ara will work hard to improve and we hope everyone will continue supporting us. We will attend MBC Gayo on the 31st." cr: tvreport/ Tiara tieba Chinese trans: _转身è½å¯ž Eng trans: beckhie

APAN Award T-ara Sugar Free Fan-cam Anyone knows if there will be an official broadcast for it?

Woww.. Is our thread moving fast or have I disappeared for too long >.< Another episode of T-ara on MTV live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UWU_DjeZsY&feature=youtu.be Just to give a gist of the interview. At the beginning, MC asks T-ara to introduce themselves in both "sugar-coated" way and "Sugar-free" way. Then MC hosted a quiz whereby member who answers wrongly have to make a face. Eunjung got the 1st qns wrong and was asked to make a cute face. For the 2nd qns, Hyomin, Qri and Soyeon got it wrong. They had to make a scary face. Hyomin made her face so well that the MC shouted "Wonderful Excellent". And Hyomin covered her face and said that she did too well LOLLL. Dorky Hyomin. Wish i had more time to translate everything for u guys. But work has been craZy, literally I'm sure Diadem will sub it eventually, maybe out on 2015 Christmas hopefully I'll try to provide more subs in upcoming days if i have the time and if no one has done it yet. Just an update, there will be another episode in Dec of T-ara on MTV to make up for the delay in T-ara broadcasting that happened yesterday due to EMA. Exact date is not fixed yet. Hope everyone is doing fine!! and i'm so not looking foward to Little Apple after seeing the MV filming pics

HAHAHA.. T-ara is the BEST in my eyes.. but had to put that disclaimer just in case fans of other fandoms visit & read this and feel butthurt about it LOL. Sorry if the discussion got u negged, abra.. Wasn't my intention in any way. Known u too long here to neg you lol. Yeah, I can always count on you guys for a healthy discussion without personal attacks for differing views. That's why I like it here T-ara's Chinese is hilarious to be exact LOLL. I have absolutely no idea how they can be so funny speaking that language. It cracks me up everytime lol Their Chinese is not good enough to know Canto yet. It takes time to learn both Chinese & Canto. Took me 18 yrs to be exact to understand both well. AREUMMM

Embarassing?? Really?? I don't feel that way to be honest, found it awesome in my opinion hahaha Love how Queen's can actually come together & do something for T-ara T-ara may not be the best girl group, but those nominated aren't that strong either to justify T-ara not being nominated. If Sistar can be nominated for both Best Female Group and Best Dance Female Group and it doesn't make sense to you for T-ara to be even nominated? Sorry, I don't feel that way Awards may not mean everything, but it is still a recognition for the hard-work that artists put in for their work. T-ara's effort and quality of work is indisputable and for Mnet to not recognise that is unexplainable to me, in my opinion. Just my 2 cents worth of thoughts. Nothing personal. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions Counting down to Nov 6 for our S.Tiger genius work, i hope. I wonder if there's going to be an MV for it. Any updates/ news on it?? Hyomin spreading some love

I'm not a casual fan k.. I'm a serious Queen's *side-eyeing craZy* I'm so serious that I even retain evidence of the amount of hate that MAMA is having for not nominating T-ara P.s Yes i admit that I am so bored that I am doing this Life without T-ara is boring

HAHAHA I CAN'T HELP IT. HAVE TO POST THIS HERE. THIS GUY IS A REAL QUEEN'S, EVEN IF HE DOESN'T KNOW IT YET LOL

If u really must know, in China, there's a sort of forums like Diadem called Tieba where all Chinese Queen's gather. And like Diadem, there have different work teams like trans/ graphic/ "foreign" relations etc.. One of these teams is known as the "voting" team where their main duty is to stream/ DL T-ara songs on Yinyuetai and help maintain the ranking of T-ara. They also help to vote for T-ara in polls held. It is similar to pple calling out Queen's to vote on Twitter. But just that in Tieba, it is more organised with leaders around to help organise matters. Add together with Queen's dedication, which should be famous thr our fandom, we tend to dominate in polls/ ranks in China. *above is based on my own observations & understanding. there may be differences that exist that I am aware of* After all the ho-ha that T-ara N4 went through, I finally heard the remix.. The remix is as good as the way Chris brown treats Rihanna. what more can i say.. tasteless lyrics in my opinion.. at least our gals got some free shoes & a trip to Disney LOL

i totally dislike the song & MV >.< Only part i am looking forward to is that it's a Shinsadong Tiger remake. In him i trust lol I like the original song as much as Bunny Style Omgosh.. This press conf Q&A is HILAROUS!!! ALL OF U HAVE TO WATCH IT!!! LOLLL My EunMin at 11:50.. HM: it's ok.. EJ: Sorry (in chinese) ahhhh my heart melts with it Pics posted just to have Plush give me a thumbs-up for it

Hey Queen's, how are everybodddyyy??? hahaha.. Been on 2 weeks vacation in Korea & now I am back!! Seems like I didn't miss much seeing that most music/ variety shows were cancelled due to Incheon Asian Games lol. And when I was in Korea, I was at my nearest to T-ara, since they were in Gyeongju for Dream Concert and I was there too!!! But I didn't get to go since I was with my family and they don't understand my love for T-ara So near yet so far really So "20k" has been requested by Queen's but CCM is sticking to 7k. They better send me the album considering how much I paid for it. The cover looks so good that I had to get it. Most likely I wont even like most of the remixes lol. AND YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT, I GOT CHOSEN BY HYOMIN FOR THE MEET & GREET!!! I couldnt watch Live streaming due to work & when i watched the replay, I saw Hyomin reading out my message It's a pretty lame message though. Totally regretted not putting effort into it I should have wrote "T-ara=Queen's. No betrayal." *sigh* i need time-travelling machine. Seems like their Goodbye stages are this week & next week they will be in China. Can't wait for them to appear in the shows to hear their Chinese

THE 60 SEC INTERVIEW WAS HILAROUS!!! Chinese subs are out already but I am busy packing for my trip so I will just provide a snap-shot of it LOLL.. Eng-subs-of-60sec-interview-moments-that-i-replayed 10 times LOLL Q: Who made the worst 1st impression in T-ara? EJ: BORAM Boram: WHAT??!! LOLLL.. and the screen showed a fire exploding next to Boram hahhaa.. After they passed the interview, they explained, Boram asking Eunjung: Why me?!! I put on the best behaviour at that time!! Eunjung laughing sheepishly lol. Soyeon chipped in: It wasn't that you were acting horrible/ badly. But you looked so sick and lethargic all the time. Boram just hang her head down LOLL

U wish Here to gate-crash your party Why is this NOT here??!!! Video-proof our hacking voting efforts with T-ara winning it http://mwave.interest.me/mnettv/videodetail.m?searchVideoDetailVO.clip_id=164557 This is so funny LOL. T-ara playing rock paper scissors. Guess who's the only one who lost lol. Fake maknae dont know how to play it well hello Lillian But i like your shortened name, lily, better

Had some free time on hand. So I went to eng-sub the latest episode 26 of Endless Love that Eunjung appeared in. Know most of u must be waiting forever for Diadem subs *evil laugh at crazy* lol But Diadem seems to have improve though. Saw it was subbed up to ep 24 from what i last remember. Efficiency is IMPROVING http://www.tudou.com/v/yP98V8HMgpw/&rpid=121286406&resourceId=121286406_04_05_99/v.swf Ahjumma: You kept saying it's a famous painting. I don't even have the heart to unwrap it. EJ: My dad sent it. He said you must be in need of cash recently. Ahjumma: Sshh EJ: Ssshh. I am still not apt at handling these things. I heard Tae Jing (Guy) is injured. Ahjumma: Probably because his youthfulness has not disappeared. Must be had a fight with some people when he got drunk. Go up and take a look EJ: Yes. [Ahjumma unwrapping the painting] EJ: So who did you have an argument with that beat you up til this? Wow, seems like not a light beating. So you don't dare to go the the hospital because your dad is the Prime Minister right? Guy: Do you about the incident about Han Guang Ze president? EJ: Yes, even though it's a rival. I heard that the rumor said that it was planned by Tae Kuang Corporation single-handedly. How unjust. Guy: Why are you here? EJ: My dad asked me to send money here (political lobbying) Guy looks surprised. EJ: Wow, the son of the Prime Minister doesn't even know about this. Seems like you really have no idea. You are really so innocent and unpolluted. I got a feeling that from the time you were born til now, you never had a evil thought before. Right? Guy: Then how did i get beaten up? Girl enters. Girl: Chun yoon unnie (EJ), I have something to ask of you. Can you please bring me out of here? EJ: Why? There's people not allowing you to go out? Girl: Yes. EJ: Wow, really? Keeping an adult locked up in the house. How interesting. Why are you being locked up? Guy: This is just how this place works. EJ: Such an interesting place. Trust me Hye Jin (Girl), I will help you. Girl: Thank you Chun Yoon unnie. Guy: Good. When you are out, go to my office's safe and take a few documents for me. The password is Grandpa's birthday. cr Chinese subs: Tieba Eng subs: beckhie

Dont think there's many of us that knows how to read Korean here :/ Better if u post it on twitter, for other Queen's who may be able to help. Found this link that teaches hot to vote for Show Champion on Melon. Maybe this can be an alternative http://infinite7soul.com/2014/05/23/tutorial-vote-infinite-last-romeo-on-melon-for-show-champion/#more-17762 Dont think so. Focus now is on Sugar Free remixes with their new MV filming for the remix being today.

Sg very small easy to find T-ara performing in Music Core tmr!! Another 1st place nomination at least please!!! this video is the LIVE stage performance of T-ara on Mnet.

*face-palm* And Diadem is going to take a mth to produce the eng-subs lol *faint from long wait* Happy birthday in advance!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PqiCxtwGSQ

HEYYYYY!!! How have you been?? You must be quite busy as an official translator.. Haven't seen you posting quite awhile or did i miss it when i was busy YESSSSS!!! CAN'T WAITTTTT OMGosh, reading the EBN 1H thread makes my blood boil Surprised or rather shocked by Chesskid allegations calling abra a cheat. Dont think that is a nice thing to call your fellow Queen's really. Abra, hope u are doing fine and not get upset. Most of us here, or at least I am, are standing by you Thanks for voting for T-ara to get them a win!! I wish i have more time to vote too but work has been busy. Queen's must be Mordor/ Orcs for Elfs lol We beat them in the Mnet Championship and now this. Whatever. Back to MV watching of SURGARRRR PREE!!!

Now let the 1st win come!!!

Hey peeps!!! Been such a loong time since i came.. WORKKKKKKKK T-ara shld trying renaming the song "work-free" & it will be No.1 on Melon lol Saw this on Weibo (Chinese twitter). According to this source, Dutch DJ Chucky will be producing a remix for Sugar-Free, He is known for his remixes for MJ, LMFAO, 50cents etc. The remix will be released on the music website, beatport. Hope it is true!!! Judging those fandoms who say Queen's cheated/ are hackers If we are that pro, we would have hacked Melon. Use your brains, haters. It's turning rusty.

Today's stage was AWESOME!!! Fan-chants were really good!! I really want to go to their live performances when I am in Korea but i know i won't have the chance because i will be ranked among the last based on their queuing system Fan-cam of Number 9 for Korean team. Omgosh, so much better than the broadcasted one since it is FULL-length which did justice to Eunjung's HIGH NOTE!!!

How to listen on Melon??!! Gg crazy seeinh Queen's reactions!! I need youtube links for the previews:'( Posting on mobile, hope this post turns out fine >.<
