T-ara’s Jiyeon dances to “YaYaYa” with a soldier on SBS’s “Heroes”

On a recent episode of SBS’s “Heroes“, T-ara member Jiyeon danced away to her group’s own song, “YaYaYa“. Now there’s nothing remarkable or odd about that in itself, but this time around, she was dancing alongside a soldier in the military in front of his peers!

It seems like the soldier is a big fan of T-ara and Jiyeon, as he not only managed to dance along to the track, but he probably performed it better, as Jiyeon was too busy laughing at the situation to care about the choreography.

Perhaps the best moment came at the end of the clip, where Jiyeon runs up and hugs the soldier, probably making his decade and invoking the jealous reaction of his mates.

Quake in Japan: No decision from SM yet, SNSD conveyed warm words to victims


Due to the current earthquake and Tsunami disaster in Japan, there will be meetings between entertainment agencies in Korea and Japan on March 14th (morning) to discuss and work out their future plans and schedules. Last weekend, due to the disastrous events, agencies were busy in making sure and confirming the safety of their Japanese office and staff.


Although music companies in Tokyo are expected to resume their usual business activities, delay of album releases and cancellation of scheduled activities is highly possible.


A representative of SM Entertainment said, “The safety of our employees in Japan is more important than anything else. Therefore, we have not discussed any matters pertaining to business. We will have a meeting on March 14th. As of now, there is still no decision if any of the activities will be canceled/postponed”.


Meanwhile, SNSD sent their deepest condolences and prayers to the victims of the quakes through a mobile fansite. Here is the message from the girls which has been translated by our friends at Soshified :


We would like to express our deepest sympathy to the victims of the Tohoku Pacific Ocean Earthquake. We came to know about the news of the earthquake in Thailand. Regarding SNSD who have activities in Japan, this is not somebody else’s problem and all of the members are concerned. Even now, the aftershocks, tsunami and disasters continuously occur and there are serious damages. This current condition pains our hearts very much. We pray from our hearts that everybody will peacefully overcome this hardship.
