T-ara talks about their “Lovey Dovey” concept backstage at ‘M! Countdown’

The girls commanded attention by dressing up in two different outfits as they shuffled across the club-themed stage.

Hyomin began, “There were some who asked why we used the shuffle dance as a concept, especially since it was dying out of popularity. We just wanted something that people could easily enjoy, and so we switched up the shuffle dance a bit to fit our own concept. ‘Lovey Dovey’ has a different feel in that you move your arms with the shuffle.”

Soyeon stated, “We really want to turn the shuffle dance into a dance that’s popular nationwide. It’s perfect for those that are dieting since it eats up a lot of your energy. You really don’t need any other diet with it.”

Eunjung also expressed, “Since we’re the first girl group to use the shuffle dance as our concept, we’re having a lot of fun with it. It’s a dance that’s really diverse , so as opposed to focusing on the final results, we just want to have fun with everyone on stage.”
