I notice that no one is posting this thread here so I decided to make this thread.
 

T-ARA



T-ara (Korean: 티아라) is a 6-member South Korean girl group. They are managed by Core Contents Media, the same company of groups SeeYa, Davichi, and FT Island. Originally a 5-member group, two members left before the group's debut, being replaced by three others. Before their official debut, there was a high level of interest in the group as they were called "Super Rookies".T-ara debuted with the single "Lies" (Korean: "거짓말").

The original first five T-ara's members were trained for over three years, and released their first song "A Good Person" for the Korean drama Cinderella Man OST. In early 2009, member Ji-Yeon was included in a collaboration with labelmates SeeYa and Davichi for a song called "Woman's Generation", which topped charts and became a success.

In June 2009, Core Contents Media announced that Ji-ae and Ji-weon left the group due to differences in music style. Boram, So-yeon, and Q-ri were added to the group soon after. The group's agency began to release promotional pictures in July 2009, all different from each other, in order to introduce the members to the public. Soon after, T-ara released their debut single "Geojitmal"(Lies).
T-ara made its debut on MBC's Radio Star talk show, which was unusual as most groups debuted on the various network music shows.The music video was also released that day. Their first performance was on MNet's M! Countdown show, where they performed "Lies" and "Wanna Play". Their debut was looked upon negatively by netizens, who noted that it was lipsynched and commented that it seemed like an elementary school performance. The group announced afterward that future performances would be live. T-ara have reached 1,000,000+ hits on GomTV in 2 weeks.
Just when their Lies performance is settling down, 4 of T-ara members, Eun-jeong, So-yeon, Hyo-min and Ji-yeon were involved in a project group with Supernova. The digital single, T.T.L (Time To Love) has an electro sound and showed 180 degrees change from T-ara. The music video reached 110,000 clicks on GomTV just a day after its released. The song also topped Cyworld chart. Members Q-ri and Bo-ram were featured in the music video.

[aylabyusumats]

I didn't know that Eunjung and Jiyeon are bullies in real life.

[prettyjenna14]

kahit mga sones nainis (yata?) sa kanila kasi 'ginaya' daw sila nung comeback nila sa Jeju.. and mga tao dun talaga ayaw na sa kanila.. FU! CCM =.=

[ariel2012]

Once na LSS ako sa kanta nila dati na Roly Poly and Like The First time,love ko na agad sila..their songs are so upbeating and may pagka-retro yung dating.
