BYJ highest level of praise: "I had choreographed for a lot of groups. T-ara is the only group that dare to try; retro, humor, sexy, cool, etc concepts - they had done it all."
Ep2 snippets: EJ calling PD Ahn Young Min
AYM: Eunjung..
EJ: Hi Oppa, just wanted to ask directly, the last time you said you wanted to work with T-ara again..
AYM: Yup.
EJ: Now's the time.
[AYM laughs]
EJ: Oppa, the timing is now.
AYM: T-ARA?
[con't]
Thank you Indonesia for inviting JKJ & showing our players so much love!!! Our players had a great time training & bonding together. JKJ team, let's work hard in off season & prepare well!! All teams are stronger after FAs. We lost Soyoung so pls train 3x harder to compensate!!!
I find this meaningful.. Queen's please leave more positive comments on T-ara Youtube videos!!
EJ: I frequently watch T-ara videos on YT
[HM: me too me too]
EJ: there are always new comments on our videos. it's like a (rain) drizzle that never stops. I gained courage from that.
JKJ is being cursed by other teams' fans because KOVO is thinking of holding the opening match of JKJ & All-Star match in Jakarta.. Why curse my players?!! Go curse KOVO!!
Ep3: T-ara & Ahn Youngmin/ Cho Youngsoo PDs talk
CYS: How does it feel to record after such a long time?
[T-ara laughs because qns felt so awkward]
EJ: Aigoo what do you mean how it is..It's been so long since we had worked together
Hyomin Update: Chats from Hyomin's mum
Mum: I watched it. Is there MV for
#ALLKILL
? When will the song be out?
M: The overall dance feel is better. Listened to
#ALLKILL
. It's not bad
M: This part is not bad.
M: This part my daughter looks really pretty.
HM: 3q (=thank you)
Jajejae mention that BYJ said: "I didnt put much effort/ thought in choreographing YAYAYA because I didnt think it could be a title song". Jiyeon: "Ohh really?!! But I really worked hard in the dance.. My heart hurts."🤣
Ep2: Comeback discussion
EJ: what type of style shld we CB with?
QRI/ HM: Concept?
EJ: we're are well-known to be concept-dol
JY: Go with our usual T-ara concept or a style that is more trending now?
QRI: Both types. I want to do both together if possible.
[con't]
HM: First of all, all of us have no agency. We are doing all this by ourselves to the best of our abilities. So it is meaningful.
EJ: Team-lead. what's the purpose of the supporting kit?
JY: This year is our 12th Anniversary right?
ALL: Yes
JY: This song can't be sing by anyone except us.
AYM/ CYS: True x2
JY: This song can only be done by us.
AYM: I let someone hear this song without saying that it is for T-ara. His reaction is "This is T-ara!! This has to T-ara song. "
for Sexy Love, KKS had a key phrase: breathing without living. HM was like how is that possible.. KKS then personally demonstrated & asked back how is it not possible.. EJ then mimic KKS "do it like this.. eyes look this way.. do i look alive to you?" LOLLL
[Dingo prepared Tarot cards]
EJ qns: Will people like our Comeback?
(sees the card, EJ burst out laughing. Other members were all asking why)
Tarot card: If you do well, it will be good.
(all of them ROFL)
EJ: I will work really hard for this Comeback!!
Sub some ep1 snippets as i wait for ep2 chinese subs..
Q: what was everyone busy with recently?
J: I dyed my hair. But did it too early! (for the comeback) The colour is slowly fading.
[Unnies laugh at her]
J: Now I am starting to look like a grandma. We need to hurry CB!
EJ: We know that you're busy..
AYM: It's not that.. Is it possible to gather T-ara again?
HM: Give us a song & we'll then have a reason to regroup.
EJ: That's right.. the reason to regroup.
AYM: If it's T-ara, I will always be available.
[con't]
[con't]
EJ: Pple do like me. Although we dont know how this CB will turnout & honestly we do feel scared, but seeing comments like "Unnie, you're my youth"/ "T-ara is my youth"; it really gives us strength. Ahh so in someone's memory, we're people who bring back good memories.
AYM: How awesome it will be to be working together with T-ara again just like in the past. Right now, I am starting to feel excited.
EJ: So fast?!!
QRI: He's getting hyped so early? That's scary.
EJ: Ok oppa, we will meet up soon in the recording studio then.
[end]
EJ: But Young Soo oppa, his schedule is ok? Can he do it together with us?
AYM: He'll do it. Absolutely.
JY: Really?
AHM: Actually, we chatted together about working with T-ara alot. How good it will be if you continue appearing more often.
[con't]
EJ: Oppa, even though you say tt, it's always possible that it doesn't happen in the end too right. You'll definitely help us out right?
AYM: If it's T-ara, I'll definitely do without a doubt.
EJ: Really?
AHM: Yup. I will talk to Young Soo & other PD to do it together.
[çon't]
MBC radio: This Comeback was done using your own money.
#T_ARA
: Yay (laughs awkwardly) Dingo is also a co-investor in this but ya we used our own money as well. This is the 1st time we are doing this
MBC radio: So this comeback you have 2 titles: Tika Taka & All Kill. Which do you prefer?
#T_ARA
: Our preferences change everyday lol
MBC radio: Ok, so how about today?
#T_ARA
all chose All Kill that day
Jiyeon to Eunjung: "how do you all not change at all" EJ (in her ageyo voice): "who?" Jiyeon: "all of you.. why?? why?? why?? " Her eyes are just spilling honey for all unnies lol
I really like this description "They neither glorify their past nor pity the present. The enthusiasm of T-ara acts as a favourable point to the public".
SNSD seems to be preparing for a comeback as well. Can u imagine a Music stage where SNSD & T-ARA fighting for 1st?!! And sunbyung interactions on stage.. It is like back to the future. I really hope it happens!! 🙏🤞👑
for YAYAYA, they added all the funny parts into it.. their backup dancers couldn't control their laugh when dancing as well.. when T-ara met the eyes of the dancers, both of them hold back their laughter & gave each other supporting looks LOL
JY: That's the feeling of this song.
CYS: During the song recording, you can just feel that this is T-ara. The style of the song.
AYM: Your goosebumps don't disappear when hearing it.
CYS: Yes x2
HM: Oppa, your feelings.. [felt insincere lol]
JY: Oppa, you feel like a robot.
AYM: Although you have experienced pain, I hope that in the future you will be surrounded by happiness.
EJ: Ok we got it, big brothers ~
[All of them laugh]
Leader JY: who wants to present nxt?
Intern EJ: Me Intern!
EJ: I have prepared alot with my love for the company! I hope my suggestions are adopted!
[In the end, cant even find her jacket sleeve!! LOL]
HM: Our intern can't even find her arm!
HAHAHHA... I love this skit..
Funny scenes aside, you can see the emotional side of T-ara as well.. they were so grateful they can perform together on stage as a group again.. they were saying the feeling is abit strange after not performing together for so long.. but they loved that they can do it together
CYS: Although I've produced for many singers, there're not many tt I produce their debut song for. T-ara, Seeya. So there's a sense of responsibility. If the singer is doing well, I feel happy too. After such a long 10 years, to work tgt so closely again, this is really touching
this is funny..
EJ: when Hyomin is angry, her hands are very busy
JY: when Sunyoung unnie is angry, she has to touch her hair 30 times
LOLLLL.. our maknae is really very observant 😂
JY: At this special period, we're all tgt at the same time
EJ: Unemployed?
JY: Ya..
[All of them laugh]
JY: All of us are jobless
HM: Ya, unemployed x2
JY: Yes unemployed. So what can we do we get together? We have waited for this day for so long
EJ: Agree
JY: So let's get going!
MBC radio
HM: We read through all the comments that our fans leave.
EJ: Yes, that's right. There's currently over 50k comments on our Youtube video now. I have read through them all.
o.O seriously?!!! i need to create a YT acct to leave comments now!!!
EJ Insta Update: Hahm's Intern working life & T-ara goods. T-ARA kit
HM: the best
EJ: I learn it from you Manager-nim
JY: Ahh, i had a stomachache from laughing
EJ: As long as team leader is satisfied, that's good (Intern sucking up boss)
Ahhh I need Qri to reply too.. LOL
EJ: How many years had it been?
CYS: 9 years
AYM: 9 years? Really? It's our 1st time meeting after that.
CYS: Yup x2
JY: Honestly, the combination of T-ara+AYM/CYS has really not been seen for a long time
AYM: Honestly, I feel that we are like a family. So although we are like a family that is living in different places, we are distanced but closely tied. Not always togeter but whenever we meet, we are happy. We hope that you will always be well.
CYS: To me, T-ara is forever in the first position. Just like the first person.
HM: Because it's the 1st, so there's a closer feeling?
EJ: To me, oppas are like a big family.
JY: True x2
JY: Just like parents
EJ: Everytime we yell Oppa, it feels comfortable. Like a family.
rewatching ep144 when MMTG was planning the concert. Assistant PD was skeptical if they could bring T-ara together & Jaejae replied "I think it's too early to give up when we havent even try." Rest of team laughed at her for being so serious lol. She really wanted our gals 😄🤣
Jaejae: "In 'I Go Crazy Because of You' - there were a lot of movements going on" EJ: "Yay we were really busy" Qri: "there were occasions where the two of them bumped together" Really?!! Where?? i want to see 😂 any Queen's saw before??
AYM: How does the new song feel?
EJ: Our first thoughts?
HM: ALL KILL
EJ: It gives me the feeling "T-ARA IS BACK"
HM: It makes me smile. How do I describe that?
EJ: Hearing it & you know it's T-ara song?
HM: Yes, that is our song.
EJ: That's true.
CYS: It's been a long time.
EJ: Actually this is one of our hit-making channels. The songs that come out all have a "T-ARA" feel. The feeling that it gives people
CYS: Really we had goosebumps all the time
HM: Since the beginning of our debut, you always tell us "This is really good"
JY: Totally awesome.
EJ: The best
CYS: If AYM don't like it, he won't say that at all
AYM: Yes I won't say at all. I really will not.
Jiyeon feels really comfortable with Jaejae.. she acts so natural with her.. Jaejae: did you all saw Jiyeon episode & how she showed her visual-pose.. Jiyeon: i watched it everyday.. Eunjung laughing at her & say: watch it daily lol
Jiyeon (On-day): "the weather is bad but I feel so good. It's been so long since I am meeting our members" Look at how she laugh, she's really happy meeting her unnies 😁
is there anyway we can awake all the sleeping Queen's to help promote this latest Comeback.. V-Queen's & C-Queen's our 2 biggest fan groups.. our gals are really working hard to make this CB & i hope we wont disappoint them.. if this CB fails, i am not sure if we can get more..
EJ: Oh really?
JY: But you always say that to us.
AYM: It's because you are really doing well.
EJ: Honestly, there's still abit of pampering/ indulging of us sometimes too right?
JY: Honestly there is right?
CYS: Yes just for abit that's all
(Yumi was praising Songyi)
Caster: Yumi unnie don't often praise you. Is there anything else you want to hear Yumi praising you?
Songyi: Nothing much. I rather she listen & consider more of my feedback & don't cut me off when I am talking in daily life.
LOLLL.. Real sisters
HM: Why not look for the PDs that gave us our hit songs.. Ahn Young Min oppa.. Young Soo oppa
JY: If they can give us songs, that will be really thankful.
HM: Yes it will be really great.
QRI: Is it really possible?
EJ: They are really expensive!
[All of them laugh]
HM: In my heart, I just feel like I am a rapper x2
AHM: This is hiphop because we match well.
HM: Unnie, what's that line.. hoo hoo?
AHM: It is the sound of gun.
JY: As expected, this song is meant for us. Only we can do it, no one besides us.
AYM: It's because we have feelings too that's why.
EJ: Our self-confidence grew alot honestly because of Oppa
HM: Because you always say we do well.
EJ: Even if we make a mistake on stage, it just feel like a small mistake and I still feel I am good at it.
EJ: When the lyrics & melody come out, because it was unexpected, it was really good
AHM: Honestly, I'm very satisfied.
HM: We tried many different concepts before. It feels like there is nothing new that can be done. But there still is. You helped us endlessly come up with it.
EJ: Both PDs have been doing really well recently.
JY: Yes, that's how it has turned out
HM: It will be really fun.
JY: There are people who are really looking forward to T-ara Comeback
EJ: We are really thankful. Thanks Oppa
QRI: This is really a concept that has never been tried before.
HM: True x2
EJ: To Oppa, what does T-ara mean to you?
CYS: This is abit of tear-jeaker.
EJ: Omooo.
CYS: Anyway, all of you have worked hard. So let's finish up the album well
AYM: We can meet to have a meal after that.
CYS: Have a drink as well.
JY: You have worked hard, Oppas. Fighting.
EJ: Thank you very much.
AYM: Let's aim to strike big [daebak]
[END]
Qns was which period did they think they were in the peak/ best condition.. they mentioned lovey dovey/ tiamo/ IGCBOY/ Lie/ Waeroni/ Sugar free
Hyomin (always best at coming up with famous saying): so the conclusion is we are always very pretty..
love her confidence LOL
MBC radio: who was the one who initiated this Comeback?
#T_ARA
: there is no one specific person. We have always been talking about having a Comeback whenever we are together.
Guess this is it. Seems we won't go back to 6 anymore. Time for Queen's to either accept it & stay as a Queen's or just leave the fandom with your good old memories. For me, I am staying.
Sunny: when you are closing the phone, does your hand hurts holding it?
Hyomin: kkk. nah it doesn't. think back to our flip-phones.
Sunny: oh~ that's good
cr: minyeon dot
HM: If we can do both together, that will be nice
EJ: Rather than us discussing and deciding by ourselves, whether is it the usual T-ara style or the recent trends or both, think the key is if we can find any PDs that are willing to give us songs that fit the styles.
[con't]
EJ & Jiyeon combining force to tease their big unnie.. Jiyeon: " why do you look like a princess.." EJ: "How do you become to look much younger & prettier.." Of course it's that way, they forgot that she is Qri unnie.. Cutie, pretty is her trademark
At peak, leave hostel 2am come back 5am. work 25-26hrs & average 2hrs slp
HM: EJ is the best. she can squeeze up to 5hrs slp cos she falls asleep immediately anywhere.
EJ: it's true. that was how i survived at that time. i cant live without sleep. now is still the same..
