Composition at present. Group T-ara T-Ara: biography of the participants

The story of this group takes us to East Asia. It was there that a few years ago the women's group Super Rookies appeared. Young girls had to make their way onto the stage for more than four years, change their name and participants, before firmly settling in their native land. Why is T-Ara, a Korean band, so popular? The biography of the group, the history of success and failure, as well as personal information about the project participants will be the topic of our article.

The beginning of the journey: trying yourself, the first discord, the formation of style

As often happens, the beginning group has one or two songs in its repertoire, with which they diligently try to conquer the audience. 2009 was marked by the release in South Korea of ​​the series “Sinderella Maen” (on Russian air - “Reflections of Wishes”), the soundtrack of which included T-Ara’s “Good Person”. At that time, the line-up consisted of five members - Jiae, Jiwon, Jiyeon, Hyomin and Eunjung. 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 popularity of the group 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 songs "Wanna Play" and "Lies". The girls returned to the same show a year later with a changed line-up to present new singles, in particular, the mini-album Yayaya. Almost from the very beginning of their career, the group set the pace in the directions of hip-hop, rap, R'n'B, Funk, K-pop and J-pop. T-Ara's compositions are also distinguished by electronic inserts and arrangements with a mixture of different styles.

Don't stop there

In the same year, Soen, Chiuri and Borma joined the team. As part of six members, the group recorded the first album with the laconic name Absolute First Album. Several hits from the disc were successful. They were released as separate singles, included in collections and compilations, as well as soundtracks for films. The biography of T-Ara was marked by the release of the second album Temptastic in 2010. Several compositions repeated the success of their predecessors, taking the first lines in the charts.

Conquest of the musical Olympus

A series of performances, received nominations and awards makes the members of the team dizzy. They become recognizable faces, acquire fans. But what group doesn't want world recognition? T-Ara was no exception. The band's biography cannot pass by the third album Black Eyes, released in 2011. Its peculiarity was the predominant presence of English-language songs. So, the composition “Cry Cry” in a matter of weeks climbed into the leading position of the Korean Billboard chart. In 2011, the group signed a contract to release a Japanese album. And here again, success awaited her. In addition, T-Ara begins an active concert activity, which lasted until 2014.

T-Ara: members biography

Before moving on to each of the members of the team, it should be said that almost all of them perform under pseudonyms. One of the first soloists, Soyeon, born Park In-chun, was born in 1987. For a while, she remained a key vocalist, performing lead roles. She has been involved in music since childhood - in 2005 she won the ChinChin Competiton festival. In addition to T-Ara, she is a member of a variety show.

The leading position was also occupied by Ham Eun Chan, better known as Eunjong. She was born in 1988. The girl mainly took on rap parts and at first was secretly considered the leader of the group. She graduated from the State University with a degree in art criticism. He is fond of taekwondo and horseback riding, cinema. He likes to read books and follows fashion novelties. With a height of 168 cm, Eunjung weighs only 47 kg. She played small roles in the thriller "Death Call" and the TV series "Coffee House". She took part in the recording of several compositions by famous Asian artists.

T-Ara: Jiyeon

The biography of this participant is not remarkable for something interesting. However, it is Djien who, throughout the history of the team, occupies a slightly higher bar in relation to his colleagues. The girl remains the youngest member, main vocalist and dancer. Park Ji Young was born in Seoul in 1993. Simultaneously with entering high school, she began to actively engage in dancing. Since childhood, adoring cinema, since 2009 she has starred in a number of films, including “Master of Learning”, “Death Call 2”, “Obsessed”.

The face of the group - that's what they say about Jiyeon from T-Ara. The biography of a talented vocalist knows a lot of facts that indicate that Jiyen is recognized as one of the most beautiful members of the team. With the help of sports, the girl maintains a slim figure. And this despite the fact that she loves cooking and good sleep.

Other soloists

Boram (Jung Bo Ram). Born in 1986. She starred in Kebee's video for the song "Feeling You". In 2009, she played a minor role in the horror series Soul. She took part in the filming of commercials for Cass Beer. In 2012, Youngpa released a track called "I Know" with Soyeon and fellow vocalist.

Hyemin (Park Sung Yeon). Was born in 1989. She is a rapper in the group. Graduated from the Department of Arts. Loves photography and drawing. In addition to acting and dancing. She started working as a fashion model. Participated in the show Invincible Youth, starred in a number of video clips of various artists.

Ru Hwa Yong (Hwayoung). Shortly after graduating from high school, she was recruited into T-Ara. In the team, he takes on rap parts. She is the twin sister of Ru Huy Young of Co.Ed.

The result depends on the change of places

The team rested on the laurels of popularity and still dreamed of getting to the West. Not just changes are happening inside T-Ara - the biography of the participants left room for real scandals that erupted in 2012. Then Hwayoung and Ahreum joined the group as rap vocalists, as well as Dani, who was only listed as a member on paper, but did not actually perform in the composition. Perhaps this was hindered by her television career, which the girl also did not want to quit. Dani took part in the recording of the fourth album Day by Day. At the same time, Hwayoung, having worked for a short time, but feeling a craving for independence, leaves the team with noise, referring to the desire to pursue a solo career. Ahri follows her. The team's managers are shocked - the updated line-up brought nothing but a difficult parting. However, not everything is as bad as it might seem to T-Ara fans.

The biography of the team connects the white streak that has come in his life with the return of the girls who were the first to leave the group in 2009. Thus, T-Ara once again acquired the original line-up of members. For a long time, this information remained in the form of rumors. However, later the record label Core Contents Media, collaborating 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.

T-ara is a Korean girl group formed by Mnet Media in 2009. Even before their debut, the group attracted a lot of interest and was known as the "Super Rukies" ("Super Rookies"). The band's name is derived from the English word "tiara" ("diadem"), which seems to indicate that they will become "queens of the music industry". The girls made their first performance on July 29 on MBC's Radio Star talk show. On the same day, the video for the song "Lies" was released.

Predebut:

The group's original lineup included JiAe (leader), Jiwon, Eunjung, Hyomin, and Jiyeon.

T-ara's line-up was a five-member line-up that went through training and debut training for three years until 2009 when they finally debuted.

In April 2009, the group released their first song "Good Person", which became the soundtrack for the drama Cinderella Man.

At the beginning of the same year, Jiyeon took part in the recording of the single "Woman's Generation" with SeeYa and Davichi, which topped the charts with incredible speed.

In June 2009, Core Contents Media (the same agency that handled Davichi and SG Wannabe) reported that Jiae, the former leader, and Jiwon had left the group. The girls decided that the T-ara style didn't suit them. Almost immediately, Jeon Boram, daughter of Jeon Youngrok, became a member of T-ara. And three weeks before the debut, Soyeon (Soyeon) and Kyuri (Qri) got into the group. The new line-up was officially announced by the agency in July 2009. Soon, 6 members were already working on the group's debut single "Lies".

Debut: 2009-2010

Preparations for the debut itself took almost three years. On July 29, the girls made their debut on MBC's Radio Star, and a video was released on the same day. The first performance took place on Mnet's M! Countdown show where they presented the songs "Lies" and "Wanna Play". Their debut was received rather negatively. Critics considered their images boring, and their performances weak, devoid of emotionality. But T-ara has not lost her fighting spirit, which we can see from their next works.

Several members of the group (Eunjung, Soyeon, Hyomin and Jiyeon) teamed up with the boy group Supernova and released a new single TTL (Time to Love).

On December 1, 2009, T-ara released their first full album, known as "The Absolute First Album", with dignity. The album includes two singles "Like the First Time" and "Bo peep Bo peep", which did not come down, but immediately acquired spectacular clips.

Of course, successful "newcomers" are entitled to a prize. On January 1st, 2010 (oh, it was recently), the members of T-ara earned their first award on the New Year's episode of Music Bank. Two days later - receiving the Mutizen awards in Inkigayo. And next week the banquet will continue with a second victory in Music Bank and a new Mutizen awards.

Later in January, Core Contents Media announced that Eunjeong and Hyomin would be working on the single "Wonder Woman" along with SeeYa and Davichi. T-ara then announced the start of "Cheoeum Cheoreom" promotions. Unfortunately, the promotion did not last long as Seoyeon contracted the H1N1 virus.

In February, the band announced a re-release of their debut album titled "Breaking Heart". The music video for the lead single "I Go Crazy Because of You" was released on February 24. T-ara made their comeback with a performance on M! countdown. "I"m Really Hurt" was chosen as the next promotional single. On March 3, T-ara released a repackaged album called "Breaking Heart" with two new songs, "Neo Ttaemune Micheo" and "Naega Neomu Apa". The album peaked at number two. on the GAON Music Chart.The song "Neo Ttaemune Micheo" spent two weeks at number one on the chart.

On July 6, it was revealed that Ryu Hwayoung would be the seventh member of the group. In addition, Core Contents Media stated that the leader position will now change every year, and that Boram will be next. This decision was previously made by all members of the group.

On November 23, T-ara released the music video for "Why Are You Being Like This", which was the lead single of their first mini album "Temptastic". It was released digitally on December 1st. The video for the second single "Yayaya" appeared on the same day. Due to the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island in November, the release of the album was delayed for some time and was released on December 3rd. The group began their return to the stage by performing on Music Bank along with new member Hwayoung and new leader Boram. T-ara received two consecutive awards for "Wae Ireoni" and "Yayaya" on M! Countdown December 9th and 16th.

2011-2012:

T-ara's fifth single "Beautiful Girl" was released on February 10, and although it is believed that all girls were involved in the production, only Hyomin was involved in the project.

In June, it was revealed that T-ara would be making a comeback on July 1 with the song "Roly-Poly". It was also mentioned that the group will start promoting in the Japanese market. Core Contents Media stated that this year Hyomin will become the new leader, "In order to instill a sense of responsibility in each member of the group, we have decided to change the leader for each new album release. We will pass the post on to members who have not been leaders before. The reason is, why Eunjung was it during their debut is that she and Hyomin trained the longest in T-ara and we felt that she would fit better." The agency continued, "Similarly, Hyomin was chosen for the Japanese promotions of T-ara and for the comeback with 'Roly-Poly' for the same reason as Eunjung. We made this decision after much discussion with both members and our agency."

The single and music video for "Roly-Poly" was released on June 29 and reached number one on various online charts just an hour after its release. "Roly-Poly" was the top-grossing, downloaded, and highest-grossing song of 2011 in Korea by the Gaon Chart. On August 2, the group released a limited edition repackaged mini-album "John Travolta Wannabe". The title track "Roly-Poly in Copacabana" is a Eurodance remix of "Roly-Poly", named after a popular 80's disco club.

T-ara released her debut Japanese single "Bo Peep Bo Peep" following her seventh single "Log-in" on September 28. It immediately took first place on Oricon's weekly chart with 49,712 copies sold, making T-ara the first non-Japanese girl group in Oricon history to have their debut single hit #1.

In September, T-ara's return to the Korean scene was also announced. The 30-minute music video for "Cry Cry" released on November 9 featured a "dorama-like" storyline and a budget of 1 billion won. "Cry Cry" reached number one on the Billboard Korea K-Pop Hot 100 and won twice in a row on M! countdown. Shortly after the release of the short version of "Cry Cry", the promotion of the video for the song "Lovey-Dovey" started. It is noteworthy that not only T-ara members Jiyeon, Hyomin, Kyuri and Eunjong, but also famous actors Cha Seung Won and Ji Chang Wook starred in the clips of the dramas "Cry Cry" and "Lovey-Dovey". The music videos were filmed in Busan.

On November 11, thanks to the overwhelming success of "Cry Cry", T-ara's third mini album "Black Eyes" was released a little earlier than planned.

On December 7th, Core Contents Media announced that T-ara's third leader, Hyomin, will step down as Seoyoung. She will lead the group starting January 1st, 2012 ahead of "Lovey-Dovey" promotions.

The group held a three-day X-mas Premium Live mini-concert tour which took place at Shinagawa Stella Hall in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka on December 20, 21, and 22, respectively.

"We Were in Love", a Christmas ballad featuring Davichi, was released as the lead single of the forthcoming "Black Eyes" reissue, "Funky Town". The single peaked at number one on the Gaon Chart and moved to number two on the Korea K-Pop Hot 100.

On January 3, 2012, T-ara's 4th mini-album "Funky Town" was released. In the first month, 43,049 copies of the album were sold. The single "Lovey-Dovey" immediately topped various charts in Korea.

In February, Forbes Korea announced its annual "Top 40 Power Celebrities" list. In the rankings, T-ara ranked 17th, making it the third most influential girl group.

Rumors about a possible change in the composition and concept of the T-ara group went back in March, but the official statement appeared only on April 5th. Core Contents Media announced their intention to turn T-ara into a 9-member group. In a press release dated April 16, the agency announced the possible replacement of some members of the group, thereby raising many doubts about the future of T-ara and its lineup.

On May 23, the group released their eighth single "Round And Round" and their fourth Japanese single "Lovey-Dovey". It is noteworthy that "Round And Round" is not the original composition of T-ara, but a cover version of the 1984 hit by the famous singer Nami.

On July 14, on the occasion of their 3rd anniversary, T-ara celebrated the opening of the "QUEEN's" fanclub. At the celebration, Dani made her first appearance in front of the fans, who was introduced as the 9th member. The fact that 14-year-old Dani will become a new member of the group was announced on May 30, but it was decided that she would only join the group during the promotion of the next album. The reason for this decision was explained by the fact that she "wants to practice a little more and will join when she is confident in herself and her abilities, so as not to cause unnecessary inconvenience to the group." In place of this, she played one of the main roles in the MV drama "Day By Day". The announcement of Dani's addition to the group was met with great skepticism, as the group's manager claimed she had been spotted on the street.

On June 14th, Core Contents Media officially introduced Ahreum, 18, as one of the two new members of T-ara. Unlike Dani, she joined the group in July during "Day By Day" promotions. Her official live debut took place on MBC's Music Core.

The story of this group takes us to East Asia. It was there that a few years ago the women's group Super Rookies appeared. Young girls had to make their way onto the stage for more than four years, change their name and participants, before firmly settling in their native land. Why is T-Ara, a Korean band, so popular? The biography of the group, the history of success and failure, as well as personal information about the project participants will be the topic of our article.

The beginning of the journey: trying yourself, the first discord, the formation of style

As often happens, the beginning group has one or two songs in its repertoire, with which they diligently try to conquer the audience. 2009 was marked by the release in South Korea of ​​the series “Sinderella Maen” (on Russian air - “Reflections of Wishes”), the soundtrack of which included T-Ara’s “Good Person”. At that time, the line-up consisted of five members - Jiae, Jiwon, Jiyeon, Hyomin and Eunjung. 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 popularity of the group 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 songs "Wanna Play" and "Lies". The girls returned to the same show a year later with a changed line-up to present new singles, in particular, the mini-album Yayaya. Almost from the very beginning of their career, the group set the pace in the directions of hip-hop, rap, R'n'B, Funk, K-pop and J-pop. T-Ara's compositions are also distinguished by electronic inserts and arrangements with a mixture of different styles.

Don't stop there

In the same year, Soen, Chiuri and Borma joined the team. As part of six members, the group recorded the first album with the laconic name Absolute First Album. Several hits from the disc were successful. They were released as separate singles, included in collections and compilations, as well as soundtracks for films. The biography of T-Ara was marked by the release of the second album Temptastic in 2010. Several compositions repeated the success of their predecessors, taking the first lines in the charts.

Conquest of the musical Olympus

A series of performances, received nominations and awards makes the members of the team dizzy. They become recognizable faces, acquire fans. But what group doesn't want world recognition? T-Ara was no exception. The band's biography cannot pass by the third album Black Eyes, released in 2011. Its peculiarity was the predominant presence of English-language songs. So, the composition “Cry Cry” in a matter of weeks climbed into the leading position of the Korean Billboard chart. In 2011, the group signed a contract to release a Japanese album. And here again, success awaited her. In addition, T-Ara begins an active concert activity, which lasted until 2014.

T-Ara: members biography

Before moving on to each of the members of the team, it should be said that almost all of them perform under pseudonyms. One of the first soloists, Soyeon, born Park In-chun, was born in 1987.
