T-ara to hold free guerrilla concerts if they sell 500,000 copies of ‘Jewelry Box’


A month ahead of their Japanese 1st full-length album release, T-ara made a promise with their fans.
As announced previously, T-ara plans to release their Japanese debut album entitled, Jewelry Box, on June 6th. The album is already receiving a lot of interest as it has ranked #1 on the pre-order chartof Japan’s most popular music retail site, Tower Records.
To thank  fans for their support, Core Contents Media stated, “If the album sells 500,000 copies, we will open a free guerrilla concert within South Korea and the center of Tokyo, Japan.” Agency officials predict that the album will sell around 300,000 to 400,000 copies, so 500,000 copies doesn’t seem too far out of reach.
The new album will contain “Bo Peep Bo Peep“, the song that landed T-ara on the #1 spot on Japan’s Oricon daily and weekly charts, along with Japanese versions of ”Ya Ya Ya“, “Roly Poly“, and “Lovey Dovey“, in addition to new tracks.
T-ara is currently in Japan to prepare for their album release and will hold a concert there in June. T-ara also invites fans to their fan club inauguration as well as first solo concert in Korea this coming July.

The SHINee member with the largest collection of female cellphone numbers is…

On the April 26th broadcast of tvN‘s ‘Taxi‘, the SHINee members participated in an ‘image ranking’ talk segment where they enthusiastically revealed each others’ secrets.
When MC Lee Young Ja asked, “Who is the member with the most female numbers in their cellphone?“, the SHINee members began to tease and gave a tense look towards Jonghyun. Feeling a bit uneasy, Jonghyun said, “This is getting really intense!
All of the members ended up choosing Jonghyun, with the exception of the man himself who chose Keyand stated, “Key has many connections. Regardless of male or female, he has over 190 contacts in his phone.”
However, fellow member Minho revealed, “Jonghyun’s contacts have a different feel from those of Key’s“, to which MC Gong Hyun Jin pounced by commenting, “Just a while ago when we got off the taxi, all the members were talking to each other but I saw Jonghyun texting by himself!
As members Key and Minho giggled at Jonghyun’s increasing discomfort, MC Lee Young Ja continued the interrogation by asking, “Who was it that you were texting?“, to which Jonghyun answered evasively, “They went to a few guys and also girls. I was in the midst of a group chat.”
Finally, member Key rounded up the assault by ending in a cheeky note, “I have personally never seen it but Jonghyun’s contacts have a certain feel to them. Carefully think about what it means when all the members choose him… there is definitely a reason.”
