Reportedly, the girls recorded the music video for their title track “Roly-Poly” overnight on June 18th, and simultaneously shot their album jacket photos.

The choreography will see 20 backup dancers on stage performing moves from the 70’s and 80’s; T-ara enlisted the help of choreographer Seo Byung Gu, who’s said to be a master of 80’s dance in Korea.

It’s been revealed that ’70s teen stars Im Ye Jin and Jeon Young Rok will also be in the MV.

T-ara will have their comeback on July 1st, so stay tuned to allkpop for more updates!

While talking about what she does for stress relief, Jiyoung said, “I relieve stress by eating. I do go on diets, but I eat what I like once a week. That day is the happiest day.”
