[Please answer 2009] Say goodbye to the haze brought by the scheming sisters! Still the Queen of K-POP: T-ARA

• Debut: 2009-07-29

• Members: Bao Lan, Zhao Yan, Ju Li, 𤨒 Jing, Hyo Min, Zhi Yan (there is no fixed captain, the captain changes every year, after Gu Li took over in 2013, there is no rotation)

• Departing members: Hana (left the team before debut, now a member of "Jevice"), Zhiyuan (withdrew before debut, now a member of "SPICA"), Herong (joined in 2010, left in 2012), Ya Rin ( Joined in 2012, retired in 2013)

The T-ARA group name is taken from the English "TIARA (crown)", which means that they want to become the queen of the music industry!

When he first debuted, he sang "Bo Peep Bo peep" with cute cat ears and created a lot of topics (later, it was even covered by Taiwanese artist Wang Caihua into a Taiwanese song "Baobao"); there were also "Roly-Poly" and "Lovey Dovey". The retro electronic music whirlwind that started, T-ARA has many classic songs, whether it is songs, dances, modeling, it is the object that everyone is eager to imitate and cover.

Moreover, T-ARA not only had distinctive clothing styles, but also took MV very seriously. They often released MVs with different styles, and even a "dramatic version of MV", making the MV as attractive as a movie~

Although the group is very popular, the company's management policy is very problematic.

In 2012, Herong, who joined halfway through without proper PR treatment, was suddenly announced by the company to terminate the contract and leave the team, which made netizens suspect that there was a bullying incident in the team. The website "T Really Wants (ask for the truth from T-ARA)" over-interprets and over-interprets the video and audio clips of the members' past interactions, pointing directly at the members' bullying and glory.

It was not until 2017 that a staff member finally came forward to rehabilitate T-ARA. She accused He Rong of being rude and was dismissed from the team by the company, but she continued to slander her former teammates in front of the public as a bullying victim.

This time, T-ARA's innocence was finally returned. Although there were good works released in the five years of misunderstanding, the group was labeled as a bully and its image was seriously damaged. This is a lot of Queen's (T-ARA fans) forever. the pain...

In the same year that it got rid of the bullying controversy, it was also the last time T-ARA returned as a group (Bao Lan and Zhao Yan left the company earlier, so they did not participate). At the end of the year, the members were finally able to release the pressure and cried until they could not express their testimonials. At the end of the same year, all the members left the company and ended the group activities.

People often think that depending on the popularity of T-ARA's songs and the level of hard work, if it wasn't for the company's inability to operate, and the unreasonable accusations of bullying by the scheming sisters, they might be able to stand in a higher position and become the top girl group in Korea. It's a pity to think about it, but it's very touching to see the members finally get their innocence. Even if they are separated from different companies in recent years, they continue to move forward hand in hand with revolutionary feelings! For example, Ju Li, 𤨒 Jing, Hyo Min, and Zhi Yan were reorganized in "Civilization Express" the year before last, and released a new album at the end of last year. I hope these beautiful sisters can continue to sing and dance happily on the stage~

please answer 2009

Please read the instruction manual carefully

• The years of debut and release of the singers reviewed are about 2003-2012, mainly the second-generation groups, there may be solos, and there may be a blurred part of the so-called 2.5th generation to the beginning of the 3rd generation.
• 2️There are many works after 2009. I also entered the kpop pit in 2009, and the Korean wave began to spread to the whole Asia and the world around 2009, so I chose "please answer 2009 Reply 2009" as the project name.
• A plan that is quite selfish, just like Cheng Shiyuan in 1997 has a selfish interest in HOT. The groups you like will be posted a lot, and some groups may be rarely or not posted at all. Don't take it seriously.
