I think Boram is slightly older but I guess less than a year?

Holy crap... Look at those heels Soyeon's wearing. What are they, 10 inches tall?

Thanks for responding. I do consider myself a DIA fan since I have their album on my playlist but I'm still trying to learn the group members. Not a stan yet. I thought it was great that their music got so much promotion in T-ara's web drama series and liked Seunghee, Jenny, and Chaeyeon in their roles.

I love the GIF at the bottom of your posts with the girl poking the other girl. Where's that taken from? Is that DIA?

Wow. Not used to seeing Qri with dark hair. I don't think she seems taller... more like she was really skinny back then. She's filled out now.

Boram's episode was so good. One of my favourites. I think she did a pretty decent job in it. I don't know why she doesn't get any acting jobs.

It was a bit confusing. I feel like there was a lot more video footage that was shot but not used in the episode. You never saw Jiyeon's boyfriend get the phone so you don't know who Seunghee's character is if you haven't seen any of the earlier episodes. You also don't find out what was the cost of Jiyeon's wish and the extra cost for the additional hour. It seemed like Jiyeon got away with it and didn't suffer any additional pain aside from being without her boyfriend, which she would have been faced with anyway. Maybe they originally filmed her dying but then at the last minute the producers said "we should change the ending because Jiyeon dies in everything we ever film her in." Or.... maybe her story will be continued in a later episode. Wasn't there something about how MBK was extending the series to 10 episodes? I hope so *crossing fingers*

I spent the last couple days reading a hundred posts about the IU scandal and here are my thoughts for anyone remotely interested. IU made some risky (in my opinion poor) artistic decisions that created an opening for her haters to attack. I do believe that there is a witch hunt for her and the haters will not be satisfied no matter what IU says or does. They just want to destroy her career so there is no way to satisfy these people. I don't believe IU is a pedophile or advocating pedophilia and I'm guessing that probably most people that are calling her a pedophile don't believe it either but it is a powerful way to attack her. She has already apologized and will learn from this experience and be more careful the next time she has an opportunity to produce an album. Of course the apology is not enough for some haters and they will be satisfied with nothing less than her total ruin. I'm not an IU fan since I've only heard a couple of her songs but I can't support the bandwagon and mob mentality so I just bought and downloaded her entire digital album as my small way of balancing the scales.

I've read some people say that it was Davichi that was doing the adlib but I don't know if that's true or not. The voice sounds like it could be.

Soyeon's Chinese solo at the Hefei concert went over really well it seems. YouTube is being bombarded by the fancams. The whole concert was good but Soyeon's solo was honestly my favourite part of the entire event. Her voice sounded really good. Her high notes were clear and powerful. Honourable mention goes to Eunjung's Good Bye.

Soyeon was singing really well. She totally killed that solo. Her high notes were all very solid.

That's awesome! I thought the title track for Sweet Temptation was catchy but now I find out that it's the single they're saving for their Chinese comeback made by Shinsadong Tiger?!! I can't wait for them to release it!

I think the first T-ara song I ever heard was Roly Poly when it came out which I really liked but I only became a hardcore fan this year. After watching all their shows like Star Life, Hello Baby, Princess T-ara, etc. I felt I really got to know the personalities of each member and that made me like them even more. As I read about all the bullying scandal and what they survived... that made me a fan for life. Naturally I bought all their albums! They've already accomplished more than most girl groups will ever achieve in their entire careers but it still makes me sad when I think about how big they could have really become and also to see all the hate they still get. Love how Diadem Subs already has Soyeon's Sweet Temptation episode already subbed! You guys are the best! I can't wait to watch it. While I find Hyomin and Jiyeon really hot, my true love is Soyeon!

When I didn't know the group very well I was most attracted to Qri's looks. Then as I listened to their music more and watched more MVs I started liking Hyomin more. Then as I spent even more time listening and watching and getting a sense of the talents of each member, I developed a strong appreciation for Soyeon and Eunjung. In the last couple years since their vocals improved I also like Boram and Jiyeon. I think for most of the group, their looks have been improving over the years with the possible exception of Qri. I'm totally lost in terms of having a favorite. I like them all for different reasons!

Ah... thanks for the clarification! That makes so much sense now!

Forgive me for my ignorance but can someone please tell me what that gesture means when people put their thumb together with their first finger? I've seen a few people do it in their instagram pics now.

I thought they were done too but I'm pleasantly surprised they're still performing. I never get tired of watching their live performances.

I'm surprised no one's uploaded the 150907 or 150910 So Crazy performance yet.

I was watching the fan-made video shown during T-ara's Korean concert that made everyone cry. That was a really well-made video: I don't know how to embed like other people here so I'm just posting the link.

Another new performance of So Crazy at M! Countdown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAoHZGidAsI Looks like black-colored versions of their navy outfits this time. Nice. The girls were looking and sounding great as usual. I could hear the audience chanting and singing along in certain parts but it wasn't very loud. It might have just been how the audio was done. I could definitely hear the cheering for Jiyeon during her solo part. When they showed the audience, it looked like a lot of people were just sitting there. Would this be a case of people only cheering for their favorites?

Also maybe the hate has died down more? I read somewhere that T-ara was ahead of the curve compared to other Kpop groups with the EDM sound and K-fans weren't ready for it at the time.

So unfair. They won't even do a concert in North America and they're giving out free hugs at home in Korea.

It sounds like most of it is in the original Korean but there's a few lines of Mandarin sprinkled into it. Anneonghaseyo! Been lurking for a while but I think this is my first post here. I've listened to T-ara casually for a few years but this is the first time I've been completely swept up by T-ara fandom and closely-followed one of their comebacks. This has been such an exciting week to be a T-ara fan with So Crazy being released!
