For the first time, singer Jeon Youngrok and his two daughters, T-ara's Boram and D-UNIT's Wooram will star in a CF together.

Recently, Jeon Yeongrok and Boram and Wooram shot a CF together for a drink product. The filming set was harmonious and warm as the family shot together.

Jeon Youngrok debuted in 1871, and for the first time since his debut, he'll star in a CF together with his daughters. Him and his daughters were focused but had fun on set. Jeon Yeongrok and his daughters sang for the CF; a sweet song with a gentle and harmonious melody and message.

A CF staff member said, "Having a family of singers, including singers from years ago and some that are promoting currently in groups represents our company well. We want to appeal to the unity of old and new generations."

Jeon Youngrok said, "I don't know if an opportunity like this will come again in my life, so I'm really happy for now." Wooram said, "I'm really thankful for just debuting as an entertainer, yet having this opportunity that I may not get again in my life."

On the afternoon of May 20th, T-ara N4 held a press conference about its plans to enter the US market at Seoul Imperial Palace Hotel. Members Eunjung, Hyomin, Jiyeon and Areum attended the press conference and expressed their aspirations for their future in the US.

On May 12th, on invitation from well-known American artist Chris Brown, T-ara N4 traveled to the US for 5 days 4 nights. Member Eunjung expressed, "Although we received an invitation from Chris Brown, we still wondered whether we would really meet him. We were very excited. He was very welcoming and treated us well, we are thankful for that. We also discussed music and production plans. There were many good things that we had never even imagined before."

Eunjung added that the following day, T-ara N4 received any invitation from Youtube channel network company “Freestyle,” and the members visited the company about the possibility of a T-ara Channel.  Footwear brand “Vlado”, famous among hiphop dancers, also extended an invitation to T-ara N4.  “More fans that we had expected came and so we held a fansign for a few hours.  Vlado also proposed to make custom shoes with the T-ara N4 logo.  Singer Ray J spoke about us on twitter and so we had the chance to meet and discuss music with famous producer team "1500 or Nothin."

The members said "We had a successful meeting through a good opportunity and was able to discuss our plans to enter the US market. After meeting with Chris Brown, we also met with a lot of good opportunities. We are very lucky. We feel a lot of pressure on our shoulders and will work even harder in the future. About our trip to the US, the other members asked us when we will return to Korea and said we still haven't watched Iron Man 3 together."

Hyomin revealed that a remake of "Jeonwon Diary" will be released in 5 versions and the rap parts currently done by SPEED’s Taewoon will be done by Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, T-Pain, Ray J and Chris Brown. The song is scheduled to be released in June in the US and also worldwide at the same. Eunjung added, "We will sing our parts in Korean, and the rap parts by the other artists will be in English."

Jiyeon also revealed, "We will be leaving for the US on the 25th to perform the opening stage for Chris Brown's solo concert in Las Vegas. We are very nervous but we want to show our good side in our first performance in the US."

Areum added that they are planning to attend the BET Awards with Chris Brown on June 30th. "Although it still feels surreal, we are very happy."

Asked about the backstory to the meeting with Chris Brown, Eunjung said, “There really is no special backstory.  T-ara trainee Dani attended Chris Brown's concert, and told him about T-ara and “Jeonwon Diary.”  After watching our MV, Chris Brown really liked the song and asked whether he can see us directly.  We suddenly went to the US in the midst of our promotions.”

Hyomin, “Many parts actually happened spontaneously.  We visitied Chris Brown’s MV set, and we suddenly received an invitation to cameo in his MV.  But because our hair and makeup etc had not been prepared, we regretfully couldn’t appear in his MV.   Just like this, many things actually happened without plan, and we are also looking forward to see what will happen when we visit Las Vegas this time.”

Eunjung: "Before our debut, we felt that we would already be lucky if we could gain popularity domestically." "Because of the popularity of K-pop, we naturally started our Japan activities like other K-Pop singers. Our US activities also happened like this and started really suddenly. From now on, we will prepare accordingly regarding music and language.”

The Director of CCM's overseas marketing team Lee Jintaek revealed that T-ara N4 has signed a contract with Empire Records (a subsidiary of Universal Recrods) for the re-release of “Jeonwon Diary”. 

He said of the good results from T-ara N4's US trip, "T-ara N4 received a lot of attention and love in the US. In particular, they met with Chris Brown and many other producers and received good appraisals from them."

The reporters asked whether this focus on the overseas activities was to avoid the negative response from the public after the Hwayoung controversy last year. About this, Eunjung said "We felt that an opportunity like this is rar, other than our sudden plans to go to the US, our other schedules will still proceed according to plan. Other than T-ara N4, the rest of the members will also be continuing their Japan sub-unit activities. They will be filming for their MV next week in Japan."

Eunjung added that, "We think that what we will demonstrate and show to everyone in the future is the most important. Whether on stage or somewhere else, we will demonstrate our genuine, honest, prudent and good appearance, so please anticipate our future activities and give us a lot of support. K-pop has received a lot of attention, not only from the US but also from other countries, so we feel a sense of responsibility to work hard and carefully in the future.”

When they returned, OBS "Unique Entertainment News" was there.

Eunjung said, "This was my first time in the United States and I had more fun than I expected. Despite having a lot of things to do and waking up early, I had so much fun."

Hyomin then happily said, "We had planned a fan meeting, but did not expect so many people to actually show up. We signed a few autographs. Then, I also got to meet Chris Brown and work with him and do recordings, which I think the outcome of it was good.

Hyomin continued to say, "There are no concrete plans for May, but during June we will once again go to America."

On the 15th, Core Contents Media's homepage was hacked. Eunjung's reaction to this was: "Actually, I didn't pay attention to it."
