Beyonce's choreographer leaks T-ara's new song and choreography!


Beyonce's choreographer Jonte, who also choreographed for Wonder Girls, uploaded this video and then removed it from online but.. it's been re uploaded of course.

The first song is by Gangkiz (can hear them filming for it here). The girls in the video are the Hotchicks who choreograph for T-ara in the past (they've tweeted about it).

T-ara's song is the second one! You can hear Hwayoung's rapping and Hyomin, Soyeon and Eunjung's part really clearly :)

CCM to take legal action after T-ara and Gang Kiz new songs leaked online


Girl group T-ara’s new song has been illegally leaked on a video site and Core Contents Media has announced they will be taking action against the foreign source of the leak.

On the morning of the 24th, they said, “A video with the choreography of T-ara’s song, along with a GangKiz song which is supposed to be released on July was leaked on a video site recently, and currently we are investigating.” They also said they will be bringing an international lawsuit against the guilty parties who have leaked and participated in the spread of the video.

The video in question is a practice clip of dancers studying the choreography with an international choreographer. Along with the dance moves, the song was also captured in the clip and subsequently leaked.

The only ones supposed to be privy to this video, according to a representative from CCM, were Japanese and American entertainment officials.

Currently CCM is preparing both GangKiz’s new album and T-ara’s comeback.

Action comedy Jackal Is Coming begins shooting!


Filming has begun on The Jackal Is Coming, an action comedy movie that pretty much hooked my interest with its one-line premise: A bungling killer (Song Ji-hyo) is hired to kidnap an pop singer (Jaejoong) and fails in multiple ways to kill him. There’s no mention of it in the description so far, but does she also fall in love with him? That’s the obvious conclusion, isn’t it? Obvious in the way of Korean movies and dramas, I mean, not obvious in the way of life, because that’s just insane.
The casting seems pretty spot-on, and the goofy plotline has plenty of comic possibilities. I’m basically seeing it as another version of the Myung-wol the Spy concept, except hopefully funnier, and with a hopefully less asstastic hero. Basically I’m just looking for somebody to reboot that premise and do it justice, since I want it to work, despite the mess that the series was.
Meanwhile, the pop singer will also have a dogged, invasive stalker (the kind known as a “sasaeng fan,” which describes those fans with no concept of boundaries or privacy concerns when it comes to their favorite idol oppas), played by Joo Min-ha (Queen of Housewives).
These stills come from the movie’s first shoots, taken in a factory where our heroine, Song Ji-hyo, finds herself in the midst of a police chase. The role calls for a decent amount of action, as these stills suggest, and I think I’ve seen enough of Ace Ji-hyo on Running Manto say she’s up to the task.
The movie plans to release later this year.

Hyomin misses being a kid

T-ara‘s Hyomin shared some of her childhood photos on Twitter.
Hyomin seemed to be reminiscing about her younger days as she tweeted, “I used to always say the phrase ‘I want to be an adult~’, but do I like it now that my wish came true?! Ah, I want to go back.” The star’s natural beauty was noticed by followers who commented that she’s always been blessed in the looks department.
