Long-promised T-ara posts are still in the promissory stage, but as a stop-gap here's a vid I planned to embed back in early February 'cept I wanted to include everything about Hwayoung's dancing and rapping and T-ara's rapping in general not to mention her fashion and their fashion, the result being nothing got posted or embedded. This is "Lovey-Dovey," first show up after the Hwayoung wardrobe malfunction (coverings slipped, so see-through upper blouse revealed more than it should have; Hwayoung wasn't aware during the performance and it wasn't all that noticeable except concerned Netizens helpfully made sure that everyone noticed; offstage she was mortified and in tears, was too upset to go back onstage when T-ara was awarded a first). So four days afterwards here she is decidedly unabashed and unsubdued, even more flamboyant and glowing and in joy than before (Hwayoung's the one in yellow with dark diamonds; her dance and rap are 2:30–2:45; she certainly has the crowd on her side).



Hwayoung is the second-youngest member of T-ara and was added last, sixteen months after their debut; "Roly-Poly" and "Lovey-Dovey" are the first T-ara tracks to really give her a spotlight, and on "Lovey-Dovey" she's got the most important dance, the one that's set apart.

(The show was unusual in that Eunjung was out with a broken kneecap and Jiyeon away for some other reason, so the other five had the stage to their selves, Hyomin and Qri and Boram ably covering for the missing two. This was one of the performances that got me thinking about Hyomin's vocals as especially embodying the T-ara sound, cute in a way that's strong rather than ingratiating [Hyomin's the one in gold pants and red shirt with a cartoon character on it].)
