T-ara makes a comeback.

Top Korean pop group have made their "comeback" with this video. It's a throwback to Korea circa 1980 and a 12 minute version can be found somewhere (wonder what 1982 video they got that idea from?). Anyway, it's catchy enough (don't be a music snob, it is catchy) but what I love is that it is being labelled as a "comeback". Their last big (huge every cell phone store was blasting it for 3 months) hit bo peep is from December 2009 and I think they've had other stuff play since then. They do this a lot in Korean music, where a new album is a "comeback" album, especially if it's been more than 6-8 MONTHS since their last album. When I think comeback I think Bob Seger putting out an album in 1995 or Billy Idol putting out an album in 2006 (or sometime around then). Like 10-15 years after their peak. I'm not sure if it's just marketing or if Korea really is so 빨리빨리 that having 18 months between major releases is considered long enough to require a "comeback".

Anyway, walk by any phone store or in to and hof and you will hear this song.
