T-ara have been receiving endless love calls from popular music agencies in Japan, however, just like last year, T-ara have decided to take their Japanese advancement slowly
But why?

On January 4th, Core Contents Media told Money Today Star News, “Ever since their popular hits “Bo Peep Bo Peep” and “I’m Going Crazy Because of You” last year, T-ara have been receiving endless calls from Japanese agencies. We filmed a Japanese CF together with Supernova last year, however, we’ve always made cautious decisions regarding advancements music-wise.”
As the Japanese market is currently favoring the successful advancement of girl groups SNSD & KARA, T-ara’s much more cautious approach on this matter have gotten both fans and other Korean agencies wondering on Core Content Media’s reasons behind this approach.

“We’ve wanted T-ara to become all-round idols right from the beginning. In the changing generation, we believe it is more appropriate for idol stars to reach for their fans with a variety of strong points rather than just one charm. Even the members shared the same opinions,” stated Kim Kwang Soo, CCM’s CEO.

He continued, “This is why Eun Jung, Jiyeon, Hyomin, Soyeon and Boram participated in acting, variety, and musical activities throughout last year. We will continue with that approach this year, and we feel this is strengthening the endurance of the members.”

Kim concluded, “Since we have more plans in mind after their various schedules, we have been taking the Japanese advancement into cautious consideration. However, as we are still receiving calls from Japanese agencies, we expect to share good news in the near future.”

The decision to take a more calculated approach to T-ara’s advancement into Japan could certainly have its benefits, especially if the end result is well planned and involves them promoting actively in a variety of ways. However, their fans have already been waiting for quite some time, and not striking while the iron is hot could cost them potential profits and popularity as well.
What do you guys think is the better move?

T-ara對於進軍日本市場如此慎重的原因是？

7人女子組合T-ara獲得了很多日本流行音樂公司的青睞和邀請，但是和去年相同，今年T-ara也緩慢、慎重地對待進軍日本的計畫，這是為什麼呢？

4日，經紀公司Core Contents Media表示：“從去年‘Bo Peep Bo Peep’和‘為你瘋狂’時期開始，就收到了很多邀請，幾乎每天都有。去年T-ara和超新星一起拍攝了日本的廣告，但是對於以歌手身份進軍日本我們一直持慎重的態度。”

少女時代和Kara在日本的成功，也讓fans和韓國音樂界相關人士更加好奇CCM如此慎重的原因。

社長金光洙代表對此表示：“一開始我們就希望T-ara能成為萬能偶像。在這個變化的時代，擁有多樣才華比只有一種魅力更能獲得fans的認可。也和T-ara成員們交換意見後達成了一致。”

接著還說道：“所以去年恩靜、智妍、孝敏、素妍、寶藍在演技、綜藝和音樂劇等領域都展開了活動。今年也會繼續下去，這樣才能讓成員們更強並持續保持成功。”

最後金代表說道：“因為活躍於多個領域，所以才慎重的對待進軍日本的計畫。但是T-ara一直收到邀請，我們希望近期可以有好消息。”

Jiyeon was the only T-ara member to grace the 2010 ‘KBS Drama Awards‘ on December 31st but that did not stop her from performing T-ara’s hit song, ‘I Go Crazy Because of You‘.

Instead of her T-ara members, Jiyeon (God of Study) linked up with actresses, Kim Ha Eun (Chuno), Oh Ji Eun (Three Brothers), Lee Si Young (Birth of a Rich Man), for a performance of T-ara’s ‘I Go Crazy Because of You’. All 4 were nominees for the Rookie Actress Award.

The start was a complete mess, as they were unsure of their positions, showing the lack of rehearsals, but they soon got into the hang of things and gave it as good as it gets. They also included a solo dance break midway through the performance for each actress.
