T-ara unveil ‘Day by Day’ album cover

T-ara, time to make everyone shake and cry with your flawless new album cover.

Days before their comeback on July 3rd, T-ara have unveiled the official cover art for their new mini-album Day by Day. It’s the first photo featuring the group’s new eighth member Areum, who looks right at home striking a pose in the center position of T-ara (Boram is so pressed right now).

While the teaser video for “Day by Day” seems to center mostly on Hyomin and T-ara’s upcoming ninth member Dani, Areum is set to prominently feature on a new song from the album called “Don’t Leave”. Apparently the song is a ballad with a unique trumpet melody, and will feature Eunjung’s vocals combined with Areum’s rapping.

By the looks of things, T-ara will be heavily utilizing Eunjung once again, just like during their Absolute First Album era. It’s about time, since she’s the most talented and well-rounded member of the group, right along with Hyomin.

I’m officially behind the new members now, even if they do end up being as useless as Qri when it comes to T-ara’s stage performances. From what we’ve seen so far, Areum and Dani seem like perfect fits for the group, and have transformed the T-ara into a more mismatched and awesomely bizarre version of Girls’ Generation.

In other news, has anybody seen that new Super Junior teaser yet? A hot mess. Not here for “Sorry Sorry” part fifty million with stolen dance moves from TEEN TOP. Time to watch the “Day by Day” teaser again.

    I was kind of hoping for something more… spectacular? This is like night and day when compared to the MV teaser. They look really hot tho.

    LMAO! Poor Boram. Forever in the shadows of the other members. I hope she snaps soon and goes off on those motherfuckers at CCM for neglecting her. She has such a sweet and soothing voice. She sounds better than Jiyeon imo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inV2dng8ecw

    Ia about Suju. Lol @ their stans for trying to scalp me at AK for pointing that out. They mad. ~Sexy, free, n singul, I’m redy to bingo.

  • FreakyFlyBri

    And Boram was sick during that performance! Other people’s faves could never. Haha.

    I actually kind of like how simple the cover is, although it kind of clashes with the font and styling they used for the titling. And I have a feeling Areum won’t be in the middle very long before Boram kicks her out of the way and takes her rightful place in the center as the Kween Midge. Lol.

    T-ARA SLAYS

  • cuntley

    Ugh what a little kween. Her snuffling throughout the performance was kinda cute. lol.

    Well, I like it better than the mess that was the Roly Poly cover. This font does look terrible tho.

    Boram should conjure up her leprechaun powers to put a curse on whoever stands in her way.

  • FreakyFlyBri

    “From what we’ve seen so far, Areum and Dani seem like perfect fits for
    the group, and have transformed the T-ara into a more mismatched and
    awesomely bizarre version of Girls’ Generation.”

    Oddly enough…this makes sense. T-ara has kind of been transformed into the rougher, edgier alternative to SNSD. It’s one of the reasons I love them so much…even when they do cutesy or aegyo they twist it into something perverse or weird (the Korean video to Bo Peep Bo Peep, the WTF-this-is-amazing Yayaya). But yeah, I totally love that comparison, it serves them well.

    EDIT: Is Boram’s hair blue?!? It totally looks like it in that pic, so maybe she did decide to go crazy with the hair colors!

  • FreakyFlyBri

    Gahhhh, I know, and the sad fact is that it doesn’t look any better up close…I bought the physical album and it’s one of T-ara’s cheaper albums as far as the packaging goes. The Roly-Poly In Copacabana album was put together much more nicely.

    And yeah, I’m definitely anticipating some Boram on this new album, especially since she basically sang all of half a sentence on one song on their entire last album. This is not acceptable, and the Kween of trolls, leprechauns, dwarves, etc. will have her vengeance on those who have crossed her. Lmao thank God for Jewelry Box, where she actually gets a decent amount of lines for the most part.

  • cuntley

    HOT DAMN!!! THEY LOOK SO FUCKING PERFECT IN THE INDIVIDUAL SHOTS.

    Bowing to their majestic beauty. We are not worthy.

  • FreakyFlyBri

    DAYUMN! Jiyeon is giving me some Everytime-era Britney realness…that white trench coat, her blond hair, the way she bites her lip…*faints*

    They all look spectacular, but special shout outs are in order for Boram, Hwayoung, and Areum. Those three and Jiyeon WORKED IT!!!

  • cuntley

    Boram’s new face is so perfect. She looks like a doll. ♥

    The new girl is hot. I’m shocked at how pretty she is! Haha.

    Jiyeon’s is definitely my fave tho. Fucking fierce!

    You haters!

    The Roly Poly cover was/is epic! I had the poster of it on my wall before my place burned down haha.

  • http://twitter.com/TheProphetBlog The Prophet

    Don’t forget Eunjung!

    She has slayed me the most, followed by Areum due to the shock factor of her being such an unexpectedly iconic kween.

  • http://twitter.com/HyunAKnowles HyunA Knowles

    Another masterpiece from Kween-ara! I’m ready, mah kweens. Bring it on!

  • http://twitter.com/HyunAKnowles HyunA Knowles

    OMG Roly-Poly cover is one of the most iconic covers ever! The cheap and tacky taiwanese movie poster concept is pure gold, original and different: just like T-ara itself. <3

  • Jay

    This cover is so basic when put beside the teaser, it looks like something Rainbow would do (not that I don’t love Rainbow, but this is not what I expect from a group with such crazy concepts as T-ara’s). The individual shots however are glorious.

  • http://twitter.com/LeslieJoon143 Leslie Chelsea Joon

    Great and amazing MV, multi-talented idols and superb stunning / gorgeous concept, T-ARA did slay in every their come back.

  • tjoz

    I have Lovey Dovey physical too and its cheap made. Like KARA’s Step mini album. Its like they made it the night before and shipped it out.

    I want something like Breaking Heart and Co-Ed’s first mini album. They are massive things.

  • FreakyFlyBri

    Haha really? It’s the other way around for me…my Funky Town album looks great, it’s hardcover and really nice, but my Breaking Heart album is packaged similarly to JTW…it’s cardboard and the photobook is stapled to the inside of the album, not binded.

  • FreakyFlyBri

    Haha really? It’s the other way around for me…my Funky Town album looks great, it’s hardcover and really nice, but my Breaking Heart album is packaged similarly to JTW…it’s cardboard and the photobook is stapled to the inside of the album, not binded. Guess it just depends on when you bought the album.

  • FreakyFlyBri

    Eunjung looks like she wants her leader position back, big time. She’s giving me major HBIC vibes, and it looks like she decided to take back the androgynous look from Hwayoung…I haven’t seen her looking like this since AFA promotions, and I love it!

  • tjoz

    My Breaking Heart is the big floppy one. Not hardcover though and no staples. I got the repackaged edition. My Funky Town one its like photobook will fall out. It feels cheap made compared to all their other ones.

    Going by YesAsia’s weight for it its going to be same size as Lovey Dovey.

    So far this year Junsu and Nine Muses have the best physical releases so far. Nine Muses everything is around the ticket/passbook concept. Clever made

  • Andi

    When the new members were first announced, I wasn’t really sure how I would feel about them joining my queens; but I have to say, I’m kind of liking the dynamic of the new nine-member T-ara. Areum looks right at home on the cover and Dani looks great in the trailer, although it still weirds me out how young she is… On a side note, Eunjung is giving me EVERYTHING on that cover. She’s such a flawless bitch.

  • addictedtot-ara

    how do you know they will be utilising eunjung? (other than in “don’t leave” and the high note in DBD which some people have been saying is areum =.= ). i really hope you’re correct though because eunjung is my fav and she’s just awesome. its sad how she got only one or two lines in CC and LD… but maybe that was because she had a really busy drama schedule (but she’ll be busy this time around too with Five Fingers). i cant get enough of her. she kills everything.

  • http://twitter.com/SoJi405 RobinClement.

    Qri isn’t useless, she’s great at doing her one-liners like “T-ara time 2 slay” or ” lalalalala I LIKE YOU”

    and she will slay the entire world with that awesome green hair of hers !!!!!!!

  • theprophetblog

    Eunjung is a legendary icon diva!

  • http://www.facebook.com/lucaswoodstock Lucas Oliveira Dantas

    i love the simplicity of this artwork, it does resemble the “absolute first album” and the only name to describe t-ara is FIERCE! they sure went very glossy and dramatic during roly-poly/cry cry/lovey dovey but this isn’t half bad and i like the kinda neutral styling so it’s their hair and faces that stand out.

  • reductivered

    I think because T-Ara has relied so much on the original 4 to pull them through with live performances (although Hwayoung served up some realness in We Were In Love and I’m fairly sure she’s gonna be a bigger part of Day By Day), acting and just general slayage that everyone thought the other two members would be another two Qri’s and Boram’s (pretty but kinda dull). But yeah, as you said and as Andi said as well – these 9 are looking to slay!

  • http://twitter.com/britneysunicorn nicky

    I hate the font, but I love the photo.

  • KweenJu

    That high note is definitely Eunjung’s. Lol I doubt Areum’s gonna get to have alot of lines, in fact, they’ll also use her as a Rapper…

  • Darwin

    Queen Qri >>>> your undeserving flops.

  • yosafbridge

    Jiyeon and Hwayoung came off best in this photoshoot. Say what you will, it’s times like these that reminds me why Jiyeon is arguably the most popular member of T-ara : she’s consistently photogenic and charismatic on screen.

    i dont listen to k-j-dontknowwhatelsetowrite-pop. but the blonde girl is sexy
