T-ara pre-records comeback stage for ‘M! Countdown’ + cancels “little T-ara” performance

It has been reported that T-ara has pre-recorded their performance for their first comeback stage on ‘M! Countdown‘ for “Sexy Love” and most likely will not be appearing on stage during the live broadcast.

The group will be appearing on ‘M! Countdown’ scheduled to air on September 6th, however, their performance will not be live, but rather pre-recorded. The staff of the show revealed, “T-ara has been recording since early in the morning. Media representatives are not allowed.”

In addition, it has also been revealed that the group will no longer be performing with “little T-ara” due to the negative reaction from the public, who voiced that it was inappropriate to put in children around the age of 10 for a comeback performance titled “Sexy Love”.

As the agency has decided to utilize the pre-recording method rather than a live performance, many speculated that it was probably due to the fear of outlash from antifans. However, Core Contents Media refuted the speculations, stating, “There are many instances when comeback stages are pre-recorded. Also, there are many cases when groups will pre-record and then head over to other schedules and not stand on the actual stage during the live broadcast… We are not intentionally avoiding standing on the live broadcast stage. It is actually a stranger event when one pre-records and waits backstage during the actual broadcast as well.”
