Following the news that Core Contents Media would be announcing T-ara‘s new changes on April 6th, more details have surfaced from sources within the agency.
According to Review Star, a representative of Core Contents Media told them over the phone, “It’s true that T-ara will become a nine member group. Two members will be added, and we will reveal the details on April 6th.”
With the addition of two members, the original seven member group will become a nine member group. The only other nine member group at the moment is Girls’ Generation, and has thus caused many questions to surface about whether this change is to compete against Girls’ Generation.
There is also speculation that the two members have been decided to be added after seeing the group’s potential in the Japanese market, and in order to further increase their reputation.
Earlier on March 14th, CEO Kim Kwang Soo had stated, “In April, there is big potential member change for T-ara.” With his talk of taking out members, many had wondered just what kind of change would be taking place. With his elaboration on the issue of removing members, fans and industrial officials were surprised to hear that the member change would not consist of swapping out original members, but instead adding new members.
The source within the agency also revealed, “The new member(s) that will be added are trainees within the agency. There was a previous speculation that they would join Co-Ed, but that’s not true.”
Stay tuned for the official announcement on April 6th!
