Despite T-ara‘s insanely jam-packed schedules, member Hyomin was determined to help her labelmates, SPEED, edit their music video for their upcoming debut track, “Lovey Dovey Plus“.

According to reports, the idol stayed up all night helping producer Cha Eun Taek edit the music video. It’s been said that Hyomin always had a passion for music video editing, and personally volunteered to edit SPEED’s.

SPEED — a sub-unit comprised of Co-Ed‘s male members – has taken T-ara’s hit track “Lovey-Dovey“ and rearranged it in their own style. The new group will be swapping out the cute and cheerful sounds from the original for a more aggressive style that would show off their masculinity.

Additionally, twins Hwayoung (T-ara) and Hyoyoung (5dolls) will also cameo in the music video for a never-before-seen dance battle.

The music video of ‘Lovey Dovey Plus’ will be officially released on February 13th at 1:00 p.m. KST!

They will be appearing in the same costumes in the music video. Both Hyoyoung and SPEED have received applause from the staff present at the video shooting for their ability to dance the choreography well.

The members of T-ara guest-featured on a recent episode of MBC Everyone‘s ‘Weekly Idol‘, where member Soyeon admitted that she has an unlady-like habit.

The idol confessed that she liked to sit comfortably without her legs put neatly together, then went on to share a funny story.

“Before I debuted with T-ara, I had a boyfriend. I met up with him one day, and turned on my aegyo, telling him that I missed him so much. While I was attempting to be cute, my legs were spread apart,” she said.

“But instead of responding to my aegyo, my boyfriend looked at me with a blank look on his face and just quietly gathered my legs together,” she continued. “I was so taken aback and embarrassed,” she admitted, causing the entire set to explode in laughter.
