For the sake of the promotional activities for T-ara’s latest song ‘Ya Ya Ya’, Hyomin who kept her long hair for 4 years had to transform herself to suit their new concept and that involved cutting her hair short.

Due to her hairstyle transformation, netizens commented, “After cutting her hair, she seems to resemble Jessica” and “Hyomin is Jessica’s Doppelganger”.

About this ‘Doppelganger’ matter, Hyomin commented, “Jessica and I know about this. As much as I love to keep my long hair, I also want a transformation and thus, I have decided to cut my hair. After the transformation, a lot of stories about my resemblance to Jessica came along. It was fun though”.

She added, “Of course Jessica knew about this too. During her trainee days, Jessica was told ‘There is someone who looks like you’ and upon hearing that, she actually came to look for me. Since then, there were so many stories about us looking alike. Nowadays, Jessica and I laugh along whenever we hear these Doppelganger stories”.

Sunny’s cute mistake at Lotte World Free Christmas Concert

On December 17th, the girls performed ‘Oh!’ and ‘Gee’ at the Lotte World Free Christmas Concert right after KBS Music Bank Year-End Special. If you noticed, they actually wore the same lovely blue costumes for the Lotte World concert as well.

Something funny happened during the ‘Gee’ performance. Sunny seemed to have ‘created her own lyrics’ at 7:23(the video below) and Yuri could not stop laughing and in fact, other girls too, notably Sooyoung and YoonA. There were some cute SunRi moments after that and Sunny was laughing throughout the performance. She must be wondering how she came up with those ‘new lines’…LOL.

Here are some of the SunRi moments captured from the fancam:

Probable conversation that took place – Yuri: OMG.. what was that?

Probable conversation that took place – Sunny: Stop laughing, Yuri…I was trying to be creative

Yuri was pointing at Sunny at the ‘Babo’ part..LOL!!!

For the rest of their performances, here is the superb quality fancam:

…and this article would not be complete without a close look at Sunny’s mistake:
