Career ruined because of injustice

In 2009, T-ARA officially debuted with their debut MV Lies. The original lineup of 6 members Boram, Qri, Soyeon, Eunjung, Hyomin and Jiyeon soon attracted attention thanks to its novel model – the leader was not fixed and changed over time. T-ARA debuted under MBK Entertainment. Even though their starting point was not in a big company, the group quickly rose to the top ranks thanks to a series of hits in just their first year of operation. Time To Love, Bo Peep Bo Peep,…

But, happiness is short-lived. T-ARA's peak career collapsed after just 3 years due to a shocking bullying scandal. In 2011, T-ARA added main rapper Hwayoung to the lineup. The female idol quickly became a fan favorite thanks to her unique visual and charismatic rapping ability. From here, a lot of scandals came just because of Hwayoung.

In 2012, T-ARA extended their hit streak with promotions Day By Day , with the participation of youngest rookie Ahreum. During this time, Hwayoung was absent from many schedules due to a leg injury. The bullying scandal broke out with the image of Hwayoung in a wheelchair spreading all over the newspaper. T-ARA was heavily criticized for status lines hinting at “a member lacking determination”.

Hwayoung and her sister created a drama of isolation, causing the popular T-ARA to become a “national stepchild”, boycotted by the public. After Day By Day, T-ARA still maintains activities but is not noticed by the public. The management company made no move to protect the girls, leaving T-ARA “to self-destruct”.

The group is scattered, the “separate” members are not very prominent

In 2017, T-ARA was exonerated. The Hwayoung sisters' play ends, but the consequences are irreversible. T-ARA has been engulfed in the harshness of public opinion, and their career has passed its peak. In May 2017, main vocalist Soyeon and eldest sister Boram did not renew their contract with the management company. T-ARA only has 4 members Qri, Eunjung, Hyomin and Jiyeon. T-ARA's concert in Taiwan was the last event the group performed with all 6 “first generation” members after being cleared of wrongdoing.
