^ They gave the line to Jiyeon but let Boram still have "Samishi suki".
T-ARA's single "Lovey Dovey (Japanese Version)" debuted in the #5 spot on Oricon today! To be honest, I'm really surprised it charted so well since "Lovey Dovey" is the only song on the single which is also on their album that is going to be released in 2 weeks. I hope that this is an indication that their album is going to sell well too! I also hope they are able to maintain a top spot although AKB48's got that #1 spot secured for sure.
Also, here is the MV for T-ara's remake digital single "Round and Round" that I posted about awhile back. It came out later than originally reported.

[12.05.23] T-ara coming back with eight members in early July
Seven member girl group T-ara will comeback as eight members this summer.
The seven members of T-ara: Eunjung, Hyomin, Soyeon, Qri, Boram, Jiyeon and Hwayoung, will comeback with a new album in Korea in the first week of July. This time around, they will gain one new member to promote as eight members but eventually become nine members.
The new member who will join in July is a 3rd year high school student with both beauty and musical talent. It's also known that the other member is a 3rd year junior high school student. Core Contents Media commented, "We have decided on the two new members, but it's not a confirmation yet. Depending on how things out, a different member than what is planned now may join."
In April, Core Contents Media's CEO announced the reorganization of the group by saying, "T-ara will gain two new members to become nine members."
T-ara will gain one of their two new members this summer, and then later in the year a second member will officially join. The new member will appear introduced through T-ara's music video and plans to meet fans beforehand.
On the 23rd, T-ara's agency said to Star News, "T-ara wants to have a fresh start this summer. As already stated, they'll become nine members, but first they'll first become a girl group with eight members."
T-ara will work with their composers who have helped them create hits in the past including Cho Youngsoo and Shinsadong Tiger. T-ara's unique new music will return.
Ahead of their comeback, T-ara are beginning their sold out tour in Japan in June. T-ara will perform as seven members at their Japanese concert tour beginning on June 18th in Nagoya, Japan.
T-ara has became one of the national girl groups with their consecutive hits and plan to keep it coming.
