T-ara’s Jiyeon gets hospitalized for fatigue

It’s been reported that T-ara‘s Jiyeon was hospitalized for fatigue.

The idol was laden with a rigorous schedule that had her rushing from drama shoots to music programs. As such, she became exhausted and required a visit to the hospital, where she was given injection before going on stage for SBS‘s ‘Inkigayo‘.

An associate of Jiyeon’s told Star News on January 1st, “After she completed T-ara’s stage for the MBC ‘Gayo Daejaejun‘ at 2 in the morning, Jiyeon went to shoot for the KBS drama ‘Dream High 2‘ at 4 a.m.”

They added, “She went to the rehearsal for ‘Inkigayo’ in a sleep-deprived state. It’s a shame since she also has a drama shoot afterwards“.

An associate of Core Contents Media commented that Jiyeon will continue her schedule under the watchful eyes of her manager, and will frequently be getting check-ups.

T-ara makes a surprise appearance on ‘Gag Concert’

*Sorry! No English Subtitle.

With the exception of Ham Eunjung, the six ladies of T-ara transformed into ‘slap princesses’ on a recent episode of ‘Gag Concert‘.

Following the Wonder Girls, SNSD, and singer IU, the T-ara girls recently served as surprise guests on the ‘GamSuSung‘ corner of KBS 2TV‘s ‘Gag Concert‘ on December 18th.

On this episode, the girls were held captive and were commanded by Kim Junho to simply walk by him if they were to become citizens of their land, but if they opposed, to slap his face.

One by one, the girls opposed and slapped his face as they walked by. Member Q-ri displayed her strength during her turn, and Kim Junho hilariously remarked that she had hit the hardest out of all of them.

Member Jiyeon also expressed her frustration as they told her she needed to marry the barbarian to become a citizen of their land, and Hyomin continued the laughs by expressing her own complaints as well.
