Thank you to Serri unni and the other members who are always so good to me, making me feel so comfortable.

Jonte Moaning Leaks T-Ara and Gang Kiz's Songs

  Choreographer Jonte Moaning, best known for his work with Beyonce‘s “Single Ladies“, has been revealed to be working with T-ara for their comeback album!
  Moaning worked with miss A for their “Touch” choreography, and this time he’s teamed up with T-ara for their “Day by Day” comeback next month.
  Representatives of Core Contents Media stated, “T-ara’s dance team visited New York for six days, and were taught the ‘Day by Day’ choreography by Moaning himself.”
To raise anticipation for the comeback, a video featuring Moaning will be released giving fans a glimpse of the choreography and T-ara’s new song on May 24.
  However, prior to its official release, a leaked version of the video has been circulating online. A Core Contents Media representative stated, “T-ara’s new song, which was originally scheduled for release in July, and Gang Kiz’s follow-up song and choreography were leaked on YouTube.”
  They continued, “The choreography is special in that our dance team went to New York for six days to learn it under ‘Single Ladies‘ choreographer Jonte Moaning. Only our representatives from Japan and the U.S. were present to record the choreography so we’re trying to figure out how the leak happened. We’ll be taking this internationally.”
  Core Contents Media is currently investigating the case, and will be filing lawsuits against those involved in the leak.

  Disappointing news for Dal Shabet fans, as leader Viki has announced that she will be departing from the group.
 On May 24th, Happy Face Entertainment announced, “Leader Viki, who started promoting as Dal Shabet since January 4, 2011, will be leaving the group to pursue her solo career. Viki will be resting for a short while, and then will go into preparations for her solo album.” The rep added, “Viki had solo activities in mind ever since she debuted with Dal Shabet. Viki and her agency have been talking this over for a long time, and we came to this decision before the release of Dal Shabet’s new album to help her, before it’s too late, to take on her new dream and fulfill it.” Viki also wrote her final post on the group’s official fancafe explaining her withdrawal.
Viki’s handwritten fancafe message stated:

“Hello, this is Dal Shabet’s Viki. It’s my first time greeting you all in a while but I’m afraid I have some bad news for our Darlings.
There were so many happy moments experienced with our fans while promoting as the leader of Dal Shabet, but I will be concluding my activities as a member of the group with our Yeosu schedule as my final participation. You’re surprised, right? But I’ll be back soon so please look forward to Viki’s solo promotions.
Ah! And our pretty Shabet dongsengs are also making a comeback! As it is their first studio album, please give them lots of love. Although I won’t be able to greet you as a member of Dal Shabet in the future, I hope our Darlings won’t forget Viki in their hearts. Please continue to give Dal Shabet your unchanging love and anticipate Viki’s solo transformation.
To my sisters, charming Serri, big eyed Ahyoung, the perfect daughter in law Jiyul, athletic Gaeun, and giant baby Subin. This unni will always be supporting you. And our Darlings! You know how much I love you, right? Thank you so much for your support and love. I’ll come back soon.”

Ailee Offered to be a Water Park Model

  Rookie singer Ailee has been receiving much attention after debuting with her new song “Heaven“, earning a positive response from fans and industry insiders alike for her explosive vocal talent.
  Ailee had an opportunity to showcase her S-line figure this summer season, but it was belatedly revealed that she had turned down the offer.
Though she rose to fame for her amazing musical talent, male fans have also taken note of her glamorous figure, no surprise there. Different from most girl group members that continue to maintain their slim figures with rigorous diet and exercise, Ailee falls within the ‘bagel girl’ category with other idols that possess healthy figures such as SECRET‘s Jun Hyosung.
  A waterpark who recognized her shapely figure had sent a love call to Ailee early in her career, trying to recruit her as their spokesmodel before she made her debut with “Heaven”. However, Ailee’s representatives respectfully turned down their offer.
“It was a little burdensome thinking about [Ailee] taking on a role of a waterpark model, having to expose herself when she is still a rookie trying to find her niche in the industry,” they explained.
  She might have turned down the offer to be a waterpark model, but Ailee is slowly but surely building her singing career. The singer rightfully claimed her victory on the ‘J.Y. Park special’ of ‘Immortal Song 2‘ by singing his hit track, “Don’t Leave Me“.

Ailee is currently preparing her new album, and is planning to make a comeback towards the end of this month or in early June.
