While Core Content Media's decision to extend T-ara's line up caused much divided opinions from fans and the like, many have been curious to hear the opinions of the girls themselves, as they will more or less likely be facing the most in coping with the abrupt change. The girls discussed their own thoughts on the issue during their short public briefing before the girls departed to Europe in support of the photo shoot for the new Core Contents Media girl group.

"We were at first, very surprised to hear the sudden line up changes," the girls said.

"All of us members felt [the addition of new members] would be the right thing to do, if it was going to be advantageous for us as a group," leader Soyeon said.

Fellow member Eunjung added, "If it is a way for us to show you a more mature side of our group, then we not only accept, but are determined to work harder and reveal a more improved side of ourselves."

Meanwhile, T-ara will take some time off to enjoy themselves in Austria, Italy and Switzerland. Eunjung and Hyomin will also be taking on roles as staff members for the photo shoot of Core Content Media's new girl group, set to debut no later than the first half of 2012.
