Like A Phoenix~ ZE:A makes their prompt return back to Malaysia again after receiving a much more heartwarming welcome than their previous visit to host a Showcase in the heart of KL! The showcase was held at Kenanga Wholesale City and I had the opportunity to attend both the Press Conference and Showcase all thanks to organizer (Jazzy Group of Companies) that gave me media access and for bringing ZE:A back to Malaysian grounds as well.

121003 T-ARA Showcase In Malaysia

As posted in the previous post, T-ARA made their very first visit to Malaysia for a showcase here! Set to perform big hits such as Roly Poly, Lovey Dovey, Day by Day and more, Malaysian Queens (T-ARA fans) were more than excited as this day finally came to a close. Thousands and thousands made their way to Menara PGRM (Venue for the showcase) and to my surprise, the event started punctually at 8.30PM!

A HUGE crowd showed up despite a controversy T-ARA recently had regarding a member change, company treatment issues, and more. Queens from Japan, Indonesia and more flew all the way from their homelands just to catch this much anticipated concert! I was happy to see so many supportive and enthusiastic fans that night.

Below is the setlist for the night so take a look!

121003 T-ARA Press Conference In Malaysia

Last month, Girl Group T-ARA came down to Malaysia for a showcase. I was given the chance to attend the Press Conference for the event so here's what went down at the Press Conference that was held in JW Marriot Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. I would also like to take this oppertunity to thank Jazzy Group of Companies for inviting me to the respective events.

CCM's Girl Group - T-ARA

T-ARA answered all the questions forwarded by the Emcee while it was conducted as a general QNA session.

Q : Is this the first time for T-ARA to be in Malaysia?

A : (Eunjung) Yes, as a group, but for me this would be my second time. I have been here for a MBC “We Got Married” recording for a ‘honeymoon’.

Q : How was the ‘honeymoon’?

A : (Eunjung) It was very sweet and Malaysian people are so kind and they welcome me so much, and this time as well so many fans come to welcome us.

Q : Did you know that there are a lot of great foods in Malaysia? Have you tried anything yet?

A : We don’t really get the time to try Malaysian food, but after today’s showcase we’re going to try Malaysia food definitely.

Q : How many songs are you guys going to perform for tonight’s showcase?

A : We’re going to perform 7 songs. It’ll be great if everyone can come to our showcase tonight. We have a language barrier; we’re Korean and you’re Malaysian, but we will try to speak in English on stage as much as we can.

Q : We saw your showcase earlier in Jeju Island, Hongkong and now Malaysia, what is your motivation to sing the same songs again and again?

A : Actually, before we go on stage, we dance to the song so many times and practice hard. Sometimes we’re tired, but when we see fans cheering and supporting us, that’s the happiest moment for us and we aren’t tired anymore

Q : What do you expect from Malaysian fans tonight?

A : It’s going to be a very great time with Malaysia fans and we hope they will have fun with us and enjoy our showcase.

Q : There are a lot of Kpop idols recently, how is T-ARA able to maintain so popular?

A : We always to try our best, not to be sexy or pretty, but to be more friendly towards fans.
