Jeon Won Diary

In late March 2013, T-ara's agency Core Contents Media were in the midst of forming a new unit from the group with the members Eunjung, Areum, Jiyeon and Hyomin. The group previously tried sub-units with the release of their sixth Japanese single "Bunny Style!", in which the B-sides were sung by units of two and three members; however, this was their first time doing formal unit activities. The title track, "Jeon Won Diary", was inspired by the 1980s South Korean drama of the same name. Produced by Duble Sidekick, the song is said to have "funky and intense" dance music combined with elements of hip-hop, with the main motif of "Jeon Won Diary" being about breaking away from the same everyday routine. Another version of the song, with traditional harmonies and instruments, was arranged by Hwang Ho-jun. The choreography was done by Jo Soo Hyun, known for his popular / viral works Psy's "Gangnam Style" and "Gentleman". == Music video ==

Background and synopsis The music video for "Jeon Won Diary", directed by Jo Soo-hyun, was filmed over a period of three days and four nights. Jo, who is known for directing Psy's "Gangnam Style" and "Gentleman", previously worked with T-ara on their "Bunny Style!" music video. The dance version of the music video was directed by Hong Won-ki. The video features cameo appearances from singer Kim Wan-sun, politician Huh Kyung-young, actor Jung Woon-taek, retired baseball player Yang Joon-hyuk, Davichi's Kang Min-kyung and Speed (aside from Tae-woon's rap verse, the other Speed members can be seen dancing alongside T-ara N4 in the end of the video). Choi Bool-am and Kim Soo-mi, both actors from the Jeon Won Ilgi TV drama, came together for the first time in eleven years to appear in the video. The drama version depicts the group as tired farmhands who are bored of farm life. As their supervisor gets distracted, the members play hooky and decide to join a dance competition held in the city. The group members practice their dance routine throughout the farm, before heading out to the city where they win the competition. Critical reception Grace Danbi Hong of enewsWorld rated the music video three and a half stars out of five, praising the video for its mix of "old and new" while commenting that international audiences won't be able to get the references. ==Track listing==
