T-ara and Davichi pull out of the MAMAs


Core Contents Media's top girl groups, Davichi and T-ara have pulled out of the '2010 Mnet Asian Music Awards' (MAMA).

T-ara's agency said today that, "T-ara and Davichi will be unable to attend the MAMA's due to inevitable reasons."

"The reason for not attending is because they have plans with other broadcasters and we do not want to put anything at stake. We have tried to adjust, but it won't work," he said.

T-ara was nominated for best girl group and best dance performance, while Davichi was nominated for the best vocal performance by a group.

Recently, in particular it was revealed Rain and MBLAQ, belonging to J.Tune Entertainment would not be attending, which has decreased the participation of local artists in the concert. After T-ara and Davichi pulled out, the expectations have decreased significantly.

Overall, the end of the year awards ceremony seems to be going to be a bit 'shabby' (?) and has not much strength.

Jiyeon's solo MV "Little by Little" judged unqualified to be broadcast on TV


T-ara Jiyeon's OST song "Little by Little" music video for the KBS2TV drama, "Jungle Fish 2" was determined ineligible to be broadcast on TV.

An official for the OST publisher said, "On KBS Deliberation Room they said that it did not follow broadcasting rules," on the 15th. KBS Deliberation Room said this because in one scene, Jiyeon eats a blue pill that implies suicide, which is misleading to youth. There is also a bathroom scene with vomiting that could lead to assuming pregnancy or drinking, which was also misleading to youth.

Since the 2nd episode was released, problems have began to surface. A scene in particular focused on Jiyeon taking a pill that would enhance her grades and rid her stress, but it also made her have side-effects of vomiting.

The official for the OST publisher said, "In dramas, the scenes are more tightly cut/edited than in music videos. In some scenes in music videos, it can't be pinpointed what we are trying to portray. It's up to the viewer to interpret it and it can be subjective if it's stretched too far. People can not understand it fully," he said.

The publishers said they requested reconsideration so they can edit the scenes.

"Jungle Fish 2" is about a schoolgirl who mysteriously dies and six of her friends decide to dig up the secrets of her death.
