T-ara will add two new members in 2012, and while the eighth member is still unrevealed, information about the ninth member, Dani, has been released.
Dani turns 14 this year and was raised in the States since she was four years old. Despite her young age, she stands at a height of 167 cm with stunning looks that people have compared to the likes of Olivia Hussey.
As previously revealed, T-ara will begin promotions with their eighth member starting July 7th. Dani will join the group in December as the ninth member. She will, however, be starring in the group’s upcoming music video as an actress in the meantime.
The reason for the delay in Dani’s joining is because she wants to practice more and join when she feels she is completely ready so as to not bring any harm to the group’s way.
The reaction of uncle fans everywhere.
She turns 14 in 2012, so she’s 13, subtract a year for the way Korea counts age, and … she’s 12.
Erm … that’s weird, isn’t it?
Five of the members of T-ara are in their mid-20s, and the other two are around 20, so while I get that she’s supposed to be like the kid sister, how the hell is that supposed to be a healthy environment for her?
Sounds like it would blow. I mean, people gave GP Basic a lot of shit for being so young, but at least they were ALL young.
Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
I thought of the exact same thing when I read she was “14″
Gosh what were they thinking, I doubt she can sing or dance…probably just to make men fap to her.
Seriously, what were they thinking? Kpop industry is wrong in so many ways, this is one of them. Ugh
ohh yes!
How the fck we, the men, can fap to this loli dolly ??? Like srsly, this is fcking wrong, morally wrong !
I specifically don’t like it because I can’t fap to some 12-year-old.
Pass.
LOL!
Urge Overkill’s Girl You’ll Be a Woman Soon plays in my head.
Makes sense… If she starts at 12 then they can milk 15 years out of her if she becomes wildly successful :-)
She looks dead.
What’s up with these comparing east to west thing that korea has? It’s not like it makes that person any better maybe perceived in a better way but logically no.
Japan does it too.
“I went to college in Italy.”
“So impressed!”
:o
@ Canto, this is T-ARA, not SNSD.
They are popular, but probably don’t worth shit versus other bigger groups.
Milking out money for 15 years is not that easy when other members are also much older.
Yes, I was only being sarcastic…
How can you fap to a 12yr old without feeling like a creep? You can’t.
These people are fucking stupid, why would you add someone to a group that is already popular? The logic these CEO men have makes no sense.
Sad thing is there are people who will fap to this girl and feel no shame…….lord take the wheel!
She probably isn’t a strogn dancer or singer. They’ll use her to bring the group’s avg age down & her skill will be speaking English. This “adding members” thing was completely unnecessary. They still need to utilize their original members *side-eyes Qri & Boram*
I have a strange feeling that eventually they are going to turn T-ara into a group with a graduation system.
All those types of groups die eventually too.
People are attached to the individuals, not the name.
Weird choice if that happens.
Another brilliant business decision by our man Kim Kwang Soo. Why fix what isn’t broken? Because he can.
No wonder her and Taemin had the same body. SMH. CCM went too far now. Little girl can’t even sing bo peep.
Uncle fans will have a blast, so will I, what song/coreo will T-ara release now to fit a 12 years old?? or maybe they’ll do a sexy concept and get hell for it, either way it will be hella amusing. Will Kim Kwang Soo became a Sergio Andrade or change their name to T-pink??
Yeah, I guess that rules out mature choreography again, so back to “Bo Peep Bo Peep” shit.
This is suspiciously Japanese, T-ara will be a franchised group
I just wonder who is gonna graduate this coming year?
Hopefully the dwarf.
No, she’s 14 american age. 1998.
Really?
Did allkpop make that adjustment by themselves? Surely the Korean article didn’t use the Western system.
Usually they just translate directly word-for-word.
They said Zelo of B.A.P. is 17 when infact he’s a 15 year old boy who is 6 feet tall.
… so… She’s their Sohee?
We all know how valuable those members are.
Dara is like 8 years older than Minzy js.
I can’t wait for all of this press to build up to her debut and then if KKS would receive a Godsend message that gets CCM to create an album 1/2 as good as absolute first album.
But we can only dream.
Dara and Bom are the same age I think, and I’m pretty sure Minzy has a 10 year age difference with both of them.
Dara still looks 16.
I was surprised when I found she’s 27? LOL.
I thought she is like…. 23… like that age.
Oh. I thought they were gonna at least add hotter members .-.
Lol guys, this is Kim Kwangsoo we are talking about, the same one who – according to T-ara – chose the Bo Peep costumes himself and made the members wear them around the office. So adding jailbait members isn’t really that big of a surprise
So basically they didn’t learn anything from GP Basic then.

I can’t be the only one who sang that in my head.
Why?…
I’m very speechless in this one.
/facepalm
Korean american? Out.
