Story about T-ara

Let me introduce my T-ara

             T-ara is a South Korean girl group singers that debuted in 2009 under Core Contents Media which now known as MBK Entertainment. The group name actually based on a word “Tiara” which means “Queens of music industry”. Their music genres mostly are K-pop and dance-pop. Their ex - company was Mnet Media. T-ara singles includes both Korean, Japanese and English version. T-ara is rather popular not only in Korea but also other countries in Asia such as, Thailand, Japan, China, and Vietnam. And well, to get to know more about T-ara, I will talk about some interesting stories of them which are their early beginning and pre-debut projects, their singles debut during in 2009-2010, and their given awards.

            First of all, the interesting stories of T-ara that I will talk about is their early beginning and pre-debut project. Well, T-ara was originally formed to be a group of 5 people which composed of Jiae, Jiwon, Eunjung, Hyomin and T-ara. At that time, their music genre was ballad.  They have trained their dancing and singing for 3 years under Mnet Media.  Until on April 2009, their released their first song called “Joheun Saram”, which means good person, for a soundtrack of Korean drama named “Cinderalla man”.

Beside this, Jiyeon also joined with other girl groups, Seeya and Davichi, under the same company with a collaboration single titled “Women's Generation" which was released on May. Later on June in the same year, members Jiwon and Jiae had resigned from the group for a reason that a music wasn’t their style. However, T-ara later got a new members who were Boram, the daughter of famous singer and actress in Korea, Soyeon, ex-trainee of SM Entertainment, and Qri, net idol who was added to the group three week prior before debut . And in early June 2009, the group T-ara moved from Mnet Media to its subsidiary company named “Core Contents media”. During that time, they also prepared to debut again as six members with a song called “Lies”.

                Second, the interesting stories of T-ara that I will talk about is their debut during in 2009 – 2010. T-ara gave their first performance for M Countdown variety show on Mnet channel with songs “Lies” and “Wanna play?” on July 29, 2009. However, with a huge criticism from people on internet about their lip sync and childish-look performance on a first show, they announced later that their next show would be live. Beside this, on September 2009, Eunjong, Soyeon, Hyomin and Jiyeon joined with other boy band singers Kwangsu, Jihyuk, and Geonil of Supernova, for a collaboration single titled “TTL (Time to Love)”. Later, T-ara and Supernova joined again for a single titled “Time to Love Listen 2” which released on October 9, 2009. This single included all members from both groups.
