* * * First, and only time I'm aware of that T-ARA ever introduced themselves at a concert IN ENGLISH. Many people would have a hard time understanding their early 2012 English speaking without these subtitles. There are a few gaps, and maybe a mistake or two

This was their first Hong Kong Showcase on Sept 18, 2012. Even though they are speaking in English, it might be difficult for most westerners to understand very much of it.
Curiously, the Hong Kong crowd seemed to understand them very well. {but 'maybe' they were just cheering for ANYTHING that T-ARA said}

This whole concert was around 90 minutes, and has a number of special moments besides this
The show started off with an Opening Video. Then after the first song, {Roly-Poly}; they stopped and two Chinese MCs came onstage and talked for what seemed like forever {a male & a female}.
At one point, T-ARA goes to one of the MCs and asks if they can be allowed to introduce THEMSELVES to the audience.
You get the feeling that if they hadn't asked, the MCs had planned on just introducing the group themselves

IMHO, it's too bad that they stopped doing these English Introductions, because all they needed was more practice. Today in 2017 T-ARA understands spoken English very well, and can read it decently. They can even write fan-notes in English pretty well too. but they don't practice speaking English enough to be able to find the right words to complete sentences very well.
There are a couple videos of Girls Generation doing shows in the US and elsewhere, in which every member speaks at least some English during their fanchats. And Crayon-Pop is comfortable speaking a limited English when they go abroad

Unlike other T-ARA concerts, there aren't any full concert videos of this Showcase. There ARE lots and lots of clips and at least one YouTuber has the whole show in 7 different clips. { user= JeonBoramChannel001 }

Another YouTuber has a good set of videos of this concert, except that they only filmed about half the show and missed a number of good things { user= dick dao }

And while there are lots and lots of clips of this show, many of them have big problems. But you just have to look around and investigate
