T-ARA Previous T-ARA4 Live Performances wo/SoyRam "Little Apple" Eng Sub

I own nothing here, collect no revenues, no objections to copyright-holder ads that support artists/agents
This is not a CELEBRATION of T-ARA4, it is a weird thing that a subscriber pointed out to me
On the "Little Apple" Remix Project, for some insane reason, they left Soyeon & Boram out of the initial recording, the MV, and the first two live performances. And then they brought in a bunch of backup dancers, WHY?

The first live performance, was 5 days after the official release of their remix. They performed on MBC MusicCore [Comeback Stage]
MBC has banned anyone else from using this video on YouTube, {my slideshow is OK because somebody else owns the music, and they're collecting revenues}
The video is on their channel, but unfortunately it is only a very blurry, low resolution clip

Then 2 days later, all six members of T-ARA performed at the K-League Award Show. But instead of performing their latest song "Little Apple", they performed "Sugar Free" which had been released 2 months earlier

Then the next day, T-ARA4 without Soyeon or Boram performed "Little Apple" on SBS: "The SHOW", which Jiyeon also MC/Hosted

I don't know how often they split up T-ARA like this, I can only recall a few in the early days with TTL where only 4 members of T-ARA made an MV & did live performances with "SuperNova" {without Qri & Boram}. Plus of course N4 & QBS, but T-ARA never performs songs from N4 or QBS anymore
REALITY-CHECK: There were audio versions of "Little Apple" released with Soyeon & Boram singing on them, easy to find on YouTube

LITTLE APPLE:
A single by Chopstick Brothers, a duo of Wang Taili, and Xiao Yang; released as a promotional song for the movie Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon.
According to the KpopHerald, The Chopsick Bros, SECRETLY went to Korea to make the MV { http://www.kpopherald.com/view.php?ud=201411181722544591796_2 }

The music video of the song on shows scenes of a square dance, interwoven with several short stories about love and romance resultant of a male partner's disapproval of his girlfriend's appearance, resulting in a failed attempt at plastic surgery. It contains elements from 1950s Korea and the legends of Adam and Eve. {wiki}

Let me explain it.The song is named "the Little Apple", the apple shows in the video means LOVE. Chopsticks Bro use 4 stories to show their love through lives. At the beginning of the video, the story is their 4th life and this is the happy ending because the girl gets back her real feature. Adam and Eva is their first life, they eat the apple that means they begin their love at that time, but the guy dies for love. The Little Mermaid is their 2nd life. The guy uses the apple ( also known his love) to tempt the girl, but another beautiful girl is tempted by his love. Therefore, she makes a wish to become pretty(pretty in her 4th life).Then the 3rd life happens in WW2, the girl gives him an apple (her love) to remind him do not die. When the guy dies, the withered apple is returned to her, that also means her love is withered as the apple. You can find the 4th story ( the beginning) has no apple showing up, because the apple changes into their love coming true and being happy ending.

As I post this, it is the day before the final T-ARA6 concert in Taiwan.
HOPEFULLY:
1) It will be a GREAT SHOW
2) It will be well filmed for the benefit of the billions who can't get there
3) They will surprise us with unexpected performances like Qri & Boram's solos last September in Shanghai.
{ Will they talk about contract difficulties? PROBABLY NOT, nor should they, as these shows aren't the proper 'venue' for that }

Lots of Anger at how this has devolved between T-ARA & MBK
We all support T-ARA, but there are undoubtedly many, many issues we don't know about.
Something I just learned a few minutes ago, was that MBK got a new CEO sometime in the last couple of years GO GEON HEE, became the CEO in charge of MBK, but the founder, KIM KWANG SOO still works there in some capacity.

THE SAD THING IS: That they should be touring the world right now doing, giving concerts in N & S America, Europe, ME, India, Russia
. . instead of disbanding
