The history of this group takes us to East Asia. It was there that a few years ago the Super Rookies female team appeared. For more than four years, young girls had to make their way onto the stage, change the name and participants, before firmly settling in their native land. Why is T-Ara, a Korean band so popular? The biography of the group, a success and failure story, as well as personal information about the project participants will be the topic of our article.
Beginning of the journey: self-tests, first disorder, style formation
As often happens, the beginning group has in their repertoire one or two songs with which they are diligently trying to conquer the audience. The year 2009 was marked by the release of the series “Sinderella Maen” in South Korea (“Reflections of Desires” on the Russian air), the soundtrack of which included the composition T-Ara “Good Person”. At that time, the composition included five participants - Jie, Jivon, Jien, Hemin and Eunjon. But not all the girls took root, two of them left the project. Officially, this was interpreted as a different concept and style that did not coincide with the opinion of the minority. T-Ara, whose biography includes many interesting facts, urgently found a replacement for the retired soloists. Since then, the group’s popularity has gone up. In July 2009, the band performed on the Radio Star talk show, which can be considered their first public appearance. They performed the compositions “Wanna Play” and “Lies”. The girls returned to the same show a year later in an altered composition to present new singles, in particular, the Yayaya mini-album. Almost from the very beginning of their career, the group set the pace in the areas of hip-hop, rap, R'n'B, Funk, K-pop and J-pop. T-Ara compositions are also distinguished by electronic inserts and arrangements with a mixture of different styles.
Do not stop there
In the same year, Soen, Curie and Borma joined the team. With six members, the group recorded their first album with the laconic name Absolute First Album. A few hits from the record were successful. They were released in separate singles, included in compilations and compilations, as well as movie soundtracks. The biography of the group T-Ara was marked by the release in 2010 of the second Temptastic album. Several tracks repeated the success of their predecessors, taking first place in the charts.
Conquering Musical Olympus
A series of performances, received nominations and awards dizzy the members of the team. They become recognizable faces, acquire fans. But which group does not want world recognition? T-Ara was no exception. The biography of the team can not pass by the third album Black Eyes, released in 2011. Its feature was the predominant presence of English songs. So, the song “Cry Cry” in a matter of weeks broke into the leading position of the Korean Billboard chart. In 2011, the group signed a contract for the release of the Japanese album. And here again, success awaited her. In addition, T-Ara begins an active concert activity, which lasted until 2014.
T-Ara: biography of the participants
Before moving on to each of the team members, it should be said that almost all of them act under pseudonyms. One of the first soloists, Soen, nee Park In Jong, was born in 1987. For some time she remained a key vocalist, performing the leading parts. Engaged in music since childhood - in 2005 she won the ChinChin Competiton festival. In addition to T-Ara, she is a participant in a variety show.
The leading position was occupied by Ham Eun Chan, better known as Eunjon. She was born in 1988.

She played small roles in the thriller “Death Ring” and the series “Coffee Shop”. She took part in the recording of several compositions of famous Asian artists.
T-Ara: Jiyeon
The biography of this participant is not remarkable for something interesting. However, it was Jien who throughout the entire history of the team holds the bar slightly higher in relation to his colleagues. The girl remains the youngest participant, the main vocalist and dancer. Park Ji Yeon was born in Seoul in 1993. Along with entering high school, she began to actively engage in dancing. Since childhood, adoring cinema, since 2009 she starred in a number of films, including “Master of Learning”, “Mortal Call 2”, “Obsessed”.
The face of the group - that's what they say about the T-Ara Jien. The biography of the talented vocalist knows a lot of facts saying that it is Jien who is recognized as one of the most beautiful members of the collective. With the help of sports, the girl supports a slim figure. And this despite the fact that she loves cooking and a good dream.

The result of a change of place
The team rested on the laurels of popularity and still dreamed of reaching the West. Not just changes are happening inside T-Ara - the biography of the participants left a place for the real scandals that erupted in 2012. Then, Hwaen and Arym joined the group as rap vocalists, as well as Dani, who only on paper was listed as a participant, but actually did not appear in the composition. Perhaps this was hindered by her television career, which the girl also did not want to quit. Dani participated in the recording of the fourth album Day by Day. At the same time, Hwaen, having worked for a short time, but felt a craving for independence, leaves the band with a noise, referring to the desire to pursue a solo career. Arym follows her. The managers of the team are shocked - the updated composition did not bring anything but a hard parting. However, not everything is as bad as it seemed to fans of T-Ara.
The biography of the team connects the white streak that has begun in his life with the return of the girls who were the first to leave the group in 2009. Thus, T-Ara again acquired the original composition of the participants. For a long time this information remained in the form of rumors. However, later the Core Contents Media record label, working with the band, at a press conference officially confirmed the upcoming changes in T-Ara, which, according to fans, could serve as a new stage for the group.
