Ellow again...

It seems to me that it's a very long time since I last post some feeds here. I just finished my final examinations, and now currently I'm at home, doing some stuff, unknown stuff.

T-ara, often stylized as T-ARA or T♔ARA is a popular South Korean girl group formed by Core Contents Media (subsidiaries of Mnet Media), in 2009. Some of the members have actually active in the industry, prior to their debut. Originally a 5-member group, they first release their song through soundtrack of MBC drama Cinderella Man, "Good Person". One of the member, Park Ji Yeon, was included in project with Davichi and Seeya, performing "Women's Generation" in public broadcast music show.

T-ara formally debut into entertainment show through Mnet Countdown, performing "Lies". They achieve success with their first all-kill song, "Bo Peep Bo Peep", sweeping all awards in public broadcast chart. They later made their comeback with "I Go Crazy Because Of You" and "I'm Really Hurt".

However, their follow-up song did not meet their instant success. Their  song "Why are You Being Like This" and " Yayaya" cannot replicate their success in "Bo Peep Bo Peep". In the following year, their song "Roly-Poly" almost break their long-awaited drought in winning Music Bank. They are in the Top 2 for almost 2 months, but to no avail. After a long years of waiting, they finally won their Music Bank K-Chart, with their follow-up song, "Lovey Dovey", reminiscing their success beforehand with "Bo Peep Bo Peep".Nonetheless, almost all of their song were crowned winner in other public broadcast, amidst the long waiting at KBS.
