Hyomin talks about T-ara’s gym clothes performance for “Roly-Poly”

On last week’s episode of MBC’s ‘Music Core‘, T-ara amused fans by ditching their flashy retro outfits for loose-fitting red Phys.Ed clothes, commonly worn in junior and high schools.

Outfits usually make up a girl group’s image, so the girls definitely managed to turn heads when they emerged with an outfit that’s anything but flattering. T-ara’s Hyomin sat down for an interview with Mydaily and revealed that it was actually an idea suggested by the members themselves!


She revealed, “It was the day that After School and miss A were both making their comebacks, so it was an idea that we all came up with out of concern. It was our fourth week into our ‘Roly-Poly‘ promotions and we wanted to prepare something special. It’s a decision we came to in order to better show off our retro concept.”

To find the outfits, the members sat down with their stylists to come up with the color and the design for their old-school Phys.Ed outfits. “It’s the summer time, so we could only find short outfits. We had to place a special order for longer sleeves and produced a total of seven of them with thick material, which made it really hot.”


It wasn’t only their outfits that they made changes to, as they also gave up their high heels, which was a large sacrifice made by the group’s shortest member, Boram.

With a laugh, Hyomin said, “We all decided to wear sneakers, but since they’re low, it makes your legs look short on stage and it’s just not pretty. We were also worried about Boram unni. If it wasn’t for her sacrifice, the stage wouldn’t have been possible, so we’re all very thankful to her. I was a happy leader when everyone agreed to do it all together.”

Not only is she the new leader of T-ara, but she’s also juggling a drama and a movie role at once. “I’m the busiest I’ve ever been since my debut, but I’m happy. My stamina couldn’t keep up and I did faint, but I want to be more careful this time and end our promotions on a safe and positive note.”
