T-ARA (/tiˈɑːrə/; Template:Lang-ko; Template:Lang-ja; often stylized as T♔ARA) is a South Korean girl group that debuted in 2009 under Core Contents Media (CCM). Before their debut, there was a high level of interest in the group as they were called the "Super Rookies" and had been training for three years prior.[1]

Originally a five-member group composed of Jiae, Jiwon, Eunjung, Hyomin, and Jiyeon, they released their first song "Good Person" (좋은 사람, Joheun Saram) for the soundtrack of the Korean drama Cinderella Man in April 2009. After Jiae and Jiwon withdrew from the group two months later, T-ara debuted as a six-member group with the addition of Boram, Soyeon, and Qri in July 2009,[2] releasing their first single "Lies" (거짓말, Geojitmal).

Their debut studio album Absolute First Album was released in December 2009 and spawned several hit singles including "TTL (Time to Love)", "Bo Peep Bo Peep", and "I Go Crazy Because of You" (너 때문에 미쳐, Neo Ttaemune Michyeo). The album was followed by the group's first extended play, Temptastic, in 2010. Their second extended play John Travolta Wannabe (2011) produced "Roly-Poly", which was nominated for several awards and went on to become the Gaon chart's number one single of the year. In less than six months, the group released their third extended play Black Eyes (2011), which spawned three number one singles: "Cry Cry", "We Were in Love" (우리 사랑했잖아, Uri Saranghaetjanha) and "Lovey-Dovey".

In 2011, T-ara signed a $4.3 million contract with management company J-Rock for their Japanese debut, the highest out of all the Korean girl groups debuting in Japan.[3] The group's first single was a remake of their 2009 hit "Bo Peep Bo Peep". It ranked at number one on the Oricon weekly charts with 49,712 copies sold,[4] the first time a debuting Korean girl group has done so in the charts' history.[5] T-ara released their debut Japanese studio album Jewelry Box in 2012, which peaked at number two on the Oricon charts.[6]

The group has added two members to their lineup since debut: Hwayoung in July 2010, Areum in June 2012. A ninth member was planned for the group, Dani, commencing December 2012 – however, her T-ara debut was later delayed indefinitely and she was reassigned to sub-unit T-ara N4. Hwayoung later departed the group in July 2012. Areum left in July 2013, only one year after joining. T-ara uses a rotating leader system in which a different member of the group is elected as leader each year, in order to give both the group and the individual members the opportunity to grow in a new direction.[7] Their current leader under this system is Qri.[8]

History

Early beginnings and pre-debut projects

The original five T-ara members (Jiae, Jiwon, Eunjung, Hyomin and Jiyeon) were trained together for three years under Mnet Media.[9] The meaning behind the group's name, which is based on the word "tiara", comes from the idea that they will become the "queens of the music industry".[10][11] In April 2009, they released their first song "Joheun Saram (Ver. 1)" (좋은 사람, "Good Person") for the Cinderella Man soundtrack.[9] Jiyeon teamed up with labelmates SeeYa and Davichi for a collaboration single titled "Yeoseong Shidae" (여성시대, "Women's Generation"), which was released in May 2009.[12] l

In June 2009, Mnet Media announced that Jiae and Jiwon would be leaving T-ara due to differences in music style. The first new member to be added to the group was Boram, the daughter of singer Jeon Young-rok and actress Lee Mi-young. Soyeon, a former trainee of S.M. Entertainment who supposed to be leader of Girls' Generation,[13] and Qri were added to T-ara three weeks prior to debut. In early July 2009, the group was moved from Mnet Media to its subsidiary company CCM.[14]

T-ara made their debut on MBC's Radio Star talk show on July 29, 2009.[15] Their first performance was on Mnet's M! Countdown music show on July 30, where they performed "Geojitmal" (거짓말, "Lies") and "Norabollae?" (놀아볼래?, "Wanna Play?") from their debut single. Their debut was looked upon negatively by webpostings, where people stated that it was lipsynched and commented that it seemed like an "elementary school" performance.[16] The group announced afterwards that future performances would be live.[17] In September 2009, Eunjung, Soyeon, Hyomin and Jiyeon collaborated with labelmates Kwangsu, Jihyuk, and Geonil of Supernova for the single "TTL (Time to Love)". It was released on September 15, 2009, and became both groups' first number one song as it topped many of the online charts.[18] T-ara and Supernova collaborated again for "TTL Listen 2", a sequel to "TTL (Time to Love)", which was released on October 9, 2009, and included all the members from both groups.[19]

"Bo Peep Bo Peep" peaked at number four on the Gaon chart, while "Cheoeum Cheoreom" peaked at number ten.[22] They held their comeback performance on Music Bank on December 4, 2009.
