T-ara's sub unit activities

How many subgroups of T-ara?


              Besides T-ara have released albums with their full line-ups or members, they also have project to divide their members into three subgroups in order to make more different music style and to please all fan clubs and viewers who have been supporting and following T-ara for such a long time. And T-ara subgroups that they divided are T-ara N4, QBS and solo singers.

              First of all, T-ara subgroup that they divided is T-ara N4. On April 12, 2013, Core Contents Media announced the launch of the group's first sub-unit, T-ara N4, which stands for "T-ara Brand New 4", consisting of four members: Jiyeon, Eunjung, Hyomin, and Areum. But since Areum departed from the group T-ara, extra member Dani is replaced her in T-ara N4. So the currently members of T-ara N4 are Eunjung (leader, Main vocalist, Hyomin (lead vocalist, main rapper), Jiyeon (vocalist) and Dani (rapper).

T-ara had previously tried sub-units with the promotions 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 group's debut song, "Jeon Won Diary", was inspired by the 1980s drama of the same name. Produced by Duble Sidekick, it is a "funky and intense" dance song with elements of hip-hop. With the main motif of "Jeon Won Diary" being about breaking away from the same everyday routine, T-ara N4's extended play, Jeon Won Diary, and the music video for the title track were released on April 29, 2013.

The sub-unit released their debut single "Kaze no You ni" (Like the Wind) on June 26, 2013. It’s written and composed by Takanori Fukuta. The song is described as a refreshing pop tune with an evergreen melody that leaves a "lasting impression".

The group performed "Kaze no Yo ni", along with Boram and Qri's "Shabontama no Yukue" and Soyeon's "Love Poem" from their "Bunny Style!" single, in front of 2000 fans.

               Finally, T-ara subgroup that they divided is a solo singers. Core Contents Media announced on March 10, 2014 that T-ara’s members would be debuted as a solo singers for their project. And two members who were announced to do a solo debut are Jiyeon and Hyomin. They are considering promoting simultaneously, but also considering having Jiyeon promote in early April and Hyomin promote in early May. The company revealed a bit about the detail for Jiyeon solo debut that would be joined by a famous producer Double Sidekick and a dancing designer by Yama & Hot Chick, who ever worked with the group T-ara before.
 


On March 28, it was announced that Jiyeon would start promoting on May 20, with single "1min 1sec" or "Never ever". The single peaked on the Korean charts at 17 and excelled in China, becoming the first Korean song to reach a 99.5% YinYueTai score.

              In conclusion, as you have seen T-ara N4, QBS, and Solo singers are T-ara subgroups that they divided for their project. I think all of these make people know more about T-ara and shows that T-ara become more popular to many people not only in South Korea, their country, but also in other countries like Thailand, Japan, Vietnam and etc. So, finally I hope you will enjoy everything I posted in here.
