T♔ARA



T-ara (Korean: 티아라, Japanese: ティアラ, often stylized as T-ARA or T♔ARA) is a South Korean girl group formed by Core Contents Media in 2009. Before their debut, there was a high level of interest in the group as they were called "Super Rookies" and had been training for three years prior to debut.
Originally a five-member group, they released their first song "Good Person" for the soundtrack of the Korean drama Cinderella Man in April 2009. In June 2009, members Jiwon and Jiae left the group, delaying the group's debut. The next month, T-ara regrouped to become a six-member group with the addition of Boram, Qri, and Soyeon, and released their debut single "거짓말" ("Lies").
In July 2010, T-ara introduced a new member, Ryu Hwayoung, to become a seven-member group. T-ara uses a rotating leader system, and has a different member of the group elected as leader each year, in order to give both the group and the individual members the opportunity to grow in a new direction.
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 girl groups debuting in Japan.[5] Their major record label is EMI Music Japan while their management and promotional marketing takes place under J-ROCK.[6] The group's first single, a remake of their 2009 hit "Bo Peep Bo Peep", debuted at #1 on the Oricon weekly charts with 49,712 copies sold, the first for a debuting Korean girl group ever in history.

I don't really listen to girl groups, but this is my favorite T-ara song.



I like one or two more but I don't remember the names...jejeje I'll post when I find them. And sadly, after listening to Roly Poly so many times through WGM and in the last few days because of the Gayo DaeJuns, I automatically start to sing it. *sigh*

Thanks Ali!

Your Welcome :)

and i guess they did delay it. it was originally supposed to be released Dec 24th but got pushed to jan 2nd. http://www.allkpop.com/2011/12/t-ara-delays-the-release-of-lovey-dovey-mv-to-next-year

Oh I like T-ara's new song, but 20 minutes, really? REALLY? And I thougt Lady Gaga's Telephone was long... Although I like them, I'd like to have a video which is, let's say, less than 10 minutes long. The chorus is superb, Lovey Dovey...
