[What's my name?]
Let's say hello. 2, 3.
Hello. We're T-ARA.
Thank you for coming to the showcase
commemorating T-ARA's 13th mini album, "What's my name?"
Shall we each say hello?
- Yes. - The fans would already know, but still. - Yes, let's say our names.
- From Qri. - I'll go first.
Hello. I'm Qri from T-ARA.
Hello, my name is Eunjung.
- This is how you should do it. - Is it?
- Wait, then Qri should do it before you go. - Do it. I thought you were going to do it.
Because you're the one who does it the best.
- I'll go last. - OK.
Hello, my name is...
My name is Hyomin.
I really can't do this.
I want to see you in agony.
- How come I can't say my name? - Why can't you say your name?
Hello.
My name is Jiyeon.
It's now Qri's turn. How come you're clapping so loudly?
You're good at this.
I'm looking forward to it.
My name is...
My name is Qri.
That was amazing.
Qri, how do you feel about the comeback?
- Me? - Yes.
I feel very good about the fact that we were able to make a comeback earlier than usual
and meet the fans.
There are some things we could've done better, but we prepared hard
for the fans who were waiting.
So please support us a lot during this album activity and look forward to it.
Good.
The showcase today is being held at the Shinhan Card Fansquare.
We plan to be together with the fans for about 60 minutes through Naver's V LIVE.
I looked at V LIVE before coming on stage, and we had a lot of hearts.
The last time I saw, it was around 5,35 million.
- I kept counting because I'm obsessed with hearts. - Press them, press them!
And we had about 160,000 viewers.
- So many... - Yes.
So many people are showing their interest.
We prepared a lot of things so we'd like for the fans to watch until the very end
and enjoy the show.
We've finished saying hello. We have so much prepared,
and we need to show them one by one.
Then first...
- It's s obvious that we're about to leave. - Yes.
You're supposed to be obvious when you leave.
Us two will go in first because we have something to show you.
- We'll be going in. - We'll go ahead.
- Good luck. - Bye.
Bye. See you in a moment.
- No, not you. - Stay.
- You were gonna leave, right? - No.
Then us two will continue with the talk.
Jiyeon, the first song that we sang was our title song, "What's my name?" What kind of song is it?
Our title song "What's my name?" is very addictive, like most songs of T-ARA.
Addictive melody, lyrics and highlight dances are something to keep an eye on in this song.
- So, addictive melody and lyrics. - And.
And highlight dances are a highlight of this song.
And the name of our highlight dance...
- Should be named by the fans. - We'll show you what it is again.
So we'd like for you to name it.
You already know, right?
You go like this.
You need to name this.
Everyone here at the hall and viewers watching through V LIVE,
please name the highlight dance through the comments.
Yes. Is that so?
So please continue the talk.
Showing you the title song and talking with Qri on stage
reminds me of when I was preparing for the album.
How were you while preparing for the album after a long interval?
I...
What are you doing?
- I kept... - Should we get comfortable and sit?
- You're asking how I was recently? - Yes.
I always met with the members and talked about the next album.
I spend most of time preparing for the album.
For the last month or two, I met with the members and practiced.
Anyone wants to ask us a question?
No one?
Free time?
What do you during your free time?
I do nothing.
Doing nothing and just taking a rest is the most relaxing thing for me.
We actually didn't have a lot of free time while preparing for this album.
While preparing for this album, we wanted to show everyone a lot of different things.
So we touched upon a various genres.
I hope the fans like it.
You've already seen it, right?
You've already heard the songs, right?
How were they?
What's your favorite?
We have "What's my name?" "Reload," and "20090729."
"20090729."
What's your favorite?
"Reload."
"20090729"?
No mention of "What's my name?"
- It's the title song. - Too bad. - "What's my name?" needs to be mentioned here.
You probably saw on the news. We're gonna go on an entertainment show.
And we're going to show "Reload" on TV.
On music programs.
I hope many of you will look forward to it.
It seems that Eunjung is nearly ready...
Is she ready?
She need more time. What should we talk about then?
She's ready!
What a great news. Now...
We will show you a solo stage of each member specially prepared for this showcase.
Aren't you curious about what performances are waiting for you?
Let's watch the solo stages of Eunjung and Hyomin
together with the music video of our title song, "What's my name?"
That was good.
[Real Love]
[Ooh La La]
Yes, that's the feeling.
I'm finished.
[Lullaby]
[QRI- Diamond]
- OK. We'll keep this. - OK. - And the one that we kept before...
Thank you.
[QRI - Diamond]
[Diamond]
Everyone, how was it?
I think it's the first for us to show our individual solo stage at a showcase.
I can really feel the atmosphere getting heated up.
How about now taking a look at the responses of V LIVE viewers?
- Where is it? - Here.
- You silly. - I broke it.
- You're full of energy. - Yes.
- Is this it? - Is this is?
Huh? I think we're having a blooper here.
- This is it. - This is it.
So here's the screen before the blooper.
Shall we read it together?
- It says "Bravo." - "Bravo."
- "Lol." - "Yay."
"I like T-ARA."
- So this is how it shows. - "Hyomin and Eunjung, I love you."
- Me too. - I don't know who you are, but me too.
"Your songs are so good."
"I'm on the 2nd floor." Where?
- Who is ID Rahel? - There! This is cool.
Hello.
Right now,
there are loves, crowns, hearts...
- A Chinese word that I can read.... - There's one. "Amazing." - "Amazing."
"Jiyeon is pretty." "Wow." "Good."
"Make it big." "Love you." "Hello."
We have a lot of emojis.
So this is how it shows. That's cool.
Like this! Look at this. It comes out like this.
She says, "Look at this."
- We should read together. - Yes.
There are various responses, right?
Multi-national.
- Multi-national. - Yes.
- Our last album was rather lyrical. - Yes.
But we made various attempts for this album, compared to the last one.
- Right? - Yes. We even included our solo songs
and also the title song.
And the Chinese version as well.
- 7 songs including solo songs. It's our first time releasing an album like this, right? - Yes.
I think it's exam period.
- Is it? - Yes.
- Right. I saw some getting upset because the album was released during the exams.
Oh no.
That's probably right.
I hope you'll get good grades.
If you don't, we're going to feel bad about it because it seems like our fault.
If we don't see him at the music program or the fan signing event, it means he ruined the exams.
- Yes, the exam tomorrow. - If he shows up, it means he did well.
- Right. - Right.
To give you a detailed description of the album, it has 2 songs sang all together.
And the four solo songs you just heard.
And a Chinese version song. A total of 9 songs.
I believe that this album is a good representation of T-ARA's dance songs.
- How do you feel about it? Is it good? - It's good.
- It's good? - Really?
- Really? - Doesn't it give the feeling of summer? - Yes.
- The more you listen to it, the better it sounds. - It grows on you.
- Grows on you? - The more you listen, the more you become fond of it.
I turn it on while taking a shower. It gets me excited.
- Listen to it while you're taking a shower. - Try it.
It's also good to listen to while you're driving.
- I like it as a wake up call? - Huh?
- I like it as a wake up call. - Wake up call?
- Does it really wake you up? - It does. It suddenly goes, "What."
- I have trouble waking up in the morning. - I'd like to ask you all something.
When we sing the part, "My name, my name, what's my name?", can you say, "T-ARA"?
What? What's with this response?
They're toying us.
- Maybe they prepared it in advance. - Huh?
- Why? Did they already prepare for it? - They did?
- No. It didn't seem that they did. - They didn't. No.
Pre-recording is tomorrow. The activity begins tomorrow.
So think about it, discuss it among yourselves and let us know.
You know that we have to get the beat right.
Last time when we were doing T-ama, we didn't get the beat right you know.
- We didn't get the beat right so the dance.. - Right before the pre-recording...
- They're here. - Here. Here.
- They're finally here. - Yes. - We were talking about that.
When we sing the part, "My name, my name, what's my name?", we want them to say, "T-ARA."
I was like, "I feel awkward" during then.
But then fans were not like "Ahh," but more like "Hmmm."
It means we're getting old together.
Oh, right. A word about your solo performance.
- I lie down at the end, you know. - Right.
I couldn't get up at my first try.
- The floor was too comfortable. - They laughed so hard that I laughed with them.
Why are you hitting me?
- Really? - How about you, Eunjung?
I...
I was really nervous.
You could tell, right?
- But aren't the solo songs all good? - They're OK? - Yes.
Every time an album was released, I was always so quiet.
So I wanted to give it a change, but then that was a continuation of Elsie.
- Anyway, please like the songs for us - They're good.
How about Qri?
It's my first time doing a solo song in Korea.
- I know. - So it's... - Let's go! - Let's go!
So we were able to show a new image of ourselves.
You were so haughty.
I actually wanted to smile.
- Then smile. - But I couldn't.
- Why? - Huh? - Why?
Because it seems that you have to be haughty with that song?
Yeah, I felt that I shouldn't. So I couldn't smile.
Maybe we should switch roles the next time we show this to the fans.
- You smile and I... - Bright? - I'll do like this...
That sounds fun. How about you, Hyomin?
Me? I...
- Hyomin also lay on the floor. - Yes I did.
So I come back and lie down.
I actually lie down while keeping in mind that it will be seen in a certain from the top.
- So you had in mind that a camera will film that from the top? - Yes.
But it's live broadcast today. And the space was limited.
So I wish that I will be able to show you
a bird's-eye view of that pose.
- If you sit and turn around, you can show them. - Sit and turn?
- Turn like this? - Aren't you supposed to turn?
Anyway...
We've only done solo performances during concerts, but never at a showcase.
We've never performed them during an album release either.
We prepared this purely with the thought that you'd like it.
- Are you satisfied with it? - Yes.
What a relief.
Then shall we go on to the next stage?
- Shall we? - Shall we?
- Or talk more... - Don't go. - Don't go? Don't go? - No.
- You all are very enthusiastic today. - Yes.
The front row is very enthusiastic.
The atmosphere today is no joke. It's fab.
Seeing the people here,
I see some familiar faces and also new faces.
- You're right. - Then who are these new people?
- Are they newbies? - Where are you from?
Who came to this kind of event for the first time?
Then they're newbies!
- What in the world. - Congratulations.
- Congrats... - Why congratulations?
We'll do our best. So don't leave us.
- So that you'll never escape! - There's no exit!
We'll work hard.
I can't tell whether this is a showcase or a concert or a fan meeting.
- I really like this. - The atmosphere is just so good that we're having so much fun.
- Right. Then... - Huh? - Personal talent! - Personal talent?
- What? You saw the solo performance and now you want personal talent? - Personal talent?
It's been a while since I've done one. Right?
Huh?
They make you do personal talents at "Life Bar"?
We'll practice it, step by step.
But I can't think of one right now.
You already know what our personal talents are.
- It's obvious. It's the same old. - So obvious.
- You've seen it for the past 9 years, but you want it? - Yes.
They said, "Yes."
- Act cute. - Then next stage! - What do they want? - Acting cute.
Then shall we move on to the next stage?
OK. OK? Shall we?
Then how about you go first? Over there.
Give and take.
Acting cute is a bit embarrassing.
- We wore a suit and everything. - No. We're supposed to be cool in a moment.
- Yes. - It's embarrassing to say this, but...
- Relatively speaking? - Yes, relatively.
It's like a strict dance.
It looks cool. We have to stop ourselves from smiling.
- We're not supposed to smile, but how come I can't help it? - Yes.
So we'll do it without smiling. Acting cute will come later!
What was that?
We'll show you "Reload."
We'll show you.
- Are you ready? - Yes, we are.
- They're good. - No smiling. - OK. - Go!
[Reload]
- I'm sorry. - Why? - Sorry. Oh my gosh.
I couldn't do the final pose.
We're supposed to change it right away as soon as it ends, right?
- That's our... - I'm sorry. What should I do?
That's our charm. Let's just call that our charm.
Where did this come from? It just came from nowhere and caught me by surprise.
- I was surprised. - We all didn't expect this to pop, so it caught us off guard.
- We can see you tripping here. - Where?
I thought you were going to fall off the stage.
You bounced off?
- She just bounced off like this. - I couldn't support my weight.
- I'm sorry. - Well. We're always like this, right? - Yes. My goodness.
- It's OK. - I was wondering where you were going.
It will always happen for us, one person per day, right?
Yes, that's highly likely.
It's been an hour already?
- Huh? No way! - Really?
What time is it?
Who said 8 o'clock?
45 minutes?
- It has already been almost an hour. - It didn't feel that long.
Well, it seems to me like we are coming to an end.
Then shall we each say our final words to our fans who have come to the showcase today
as well as to the V LIVE viewers?
- Yes. - Yep!
T-ARA's new song "What's My Name?" has been released tonight at 6 PM, everyone.
So please show us a lot of support.
I'd like to thank all our fans who came here tonight.
I also want to say thank you to all our fans overseas as well.

we will do our best to create opportunities
for us to meet,
so be expecting that.
What must we do about those who have exams?
The exams...
Final exams.. Do study for it well...
Study well.

but seeing you here, filling the seats of our showcase,
is so touching. Thank you everyone for coming.
Before we end, shall we all sing together "My name, my name, what's my name?"
Why. Don't make them do that.

Then, looking forward to tomorrow,
we will be wrapping up now.
