Thanks for sharing. Old T-ara is still best T-ara. Good times...

Although Qri got a lot hotter since then. She's not recognizable at all in most of the pictures.

There's a tab that explains their song selections on pandora. But they do tend to fuck up alot. Just keep thumbing it down and it goes away eventually.

I'm usually not big into short hair on girls of any nationality but the more Eunjung and new Hyomin I see is really really making me reconsider. the tomboy concept in Cry Cry was a little too much though. if IU ever went that extreme it'd crush me

Most definitely long hair Hyomin.

Other news, SNSD will be promoting Mr taxi from The Boys album, I honestly think picking a different song might be better but I guess it will work.

Out of curiosity, since it seems like most people dislike her, why was Hwayoung added to T-ara in the first place? Were they lacking something that Hwayoung brings to the table?

They should have used a different song. Mr. Taxi had its time in the light, but its damn time they moved on from that song...

To bring down the group's average age? I don't see what she brings besides being Best Mom.

I forget where I read it but apparently it's cause they thought T-ara was getting too old average-age wise (Boram is 25, Qri is 24), and they wanted to add a youthful face so that T-ara kept up a youthful image rather than an older, more mature one so they could continue doing weird cute concepts like Roly Poly and shrieking 'oppa!' all the time.

Also, more members means more potential individual marketing dollars and the more girls you can send out to do promo events at once. They probably wanted to keep her cause her twin was in Co-ed (and Hyoyoung was supposed to be in T-ara and Hwayoung in Co-Ed, goddamn why didn't that happen) and they wanted a publicity boost, but had nowhere to put her, as Seeya was split up/about to split up/inactive at the time and Hwayoung isn't good enough at singing for Davichi so they shoved her in T-ara since you don't really need talent to fit in there.

@Soralimit they probably consider it title-track worthy seeing as they promoted it in Japan, and since they already have that song and haven't promoted it it probably seems like the best chance for a decent hit from SM's perspective.

My OCD is kicking in hardcore - the 320kbps version of L amant (the very last song) on IU's new album is fucked up at the end, and my friend's mail from Korea is gonna take another week to arrive so I won't be able to rip it until then.

Can anybody help?

LOOLL the thought of Hwayoung in Davichi
Would've spit my water out if I was drinking any

As much as I do not like her either, I think she had potential...

I'm disappointed SNSD isn't promoting a different song. I love Mr. Taxi but they could have picked Trick or Oscar I think. But people LOVE Mr. Taxi over there so I'm sure it will be a big hit. It's a good song.

Regardless, the live versions of Mr. Taxi are always hot as hell, so that should be fun. I mean come on, those cop outfits...

Also, for me SNSD Hello Baby is miles better than the others, but that's to be expected. T-ara's got super boring after a few episodes because of those HORRIBLE kids.
