Very saddening... they would have reached the same popularity that SNSD and 2NE1 have today. But at least they are finally regaining attention now thanks to many K-pop reactors :)
@@justinjyeungagree.. All of the members had gone thru really tough times for years.. No matter how hard they worked their ass out, k-netz & the industry would just mocked them and even banned them from doing some shows which means they totally blocked T-ara's path from success.. I still can't get over with their reactions when they were announced as winner for their last & final comeback as T-ara, after the whole truth about 'that issue' was finally revealed..... 😢 It's so heartbreaking....
Yup, T-ara is named like "tiara" and actually, their fandom name is QUEEN'S, so it's very fitting :) They debuted in 2009 with 6 members, added 1 member in 2010, and added another in 2012. But those added members each left in 2012 and 2013, respectively. T-ara was under Core Contents Media (now known as MBK Entertainment) and is often called the "chameleon of K-pop", because they are known for their ever-changing concepts but also an emphasis on catchy songs and electronic dance hooks. "Number 9" marked what I like to call T-ara's "renaissance" as they returned to their original 6-member lineup and it's just an overall great song, has that clear T-ara sound to it. While "Sugar Free" was released to lukewarm success in Korea, due to the 2012 scandal and the public turning their backs on them, I generally see it as the first T-ara song recommended to people nowadays due to its hard EDM sound. "Roly-Poly" was T-ara's 2011 hit that launched them into huge success and made them a household name in Korea. (But their 2009 hit "Bo Peep Bo Peep" is what put their name out there as rookies to keep an eye on.) The mini-album for it, John Travolta Wannabe, was one of the best-selling albums of that year. It was also the first of T-ara's drama MVs, which is thanks to multiple members acting in dramas while as T-ara members (some members were even originally trained as actresses before joining the group!). Oh, and fun fact is that the song was written by Shinsadong Tiger (best-known for producing EXID and several hit songs from 2nd-gen), but he was procrastinating on it. One day, he was called in to meet with the CEO to check his progress on the song, and he literally came up with the title on the spot when he noticed a roly-poly toy on the CEO's desk LOL Hm, when this first came out...yeah, I was showed the entire 12-minute video lol. I didn't really know what I was watching at that time and I didn't know at the time it would become my favourite K-pop song either lol The 6 main members are: -Boram (N9: straight black hair and black/white dress, RP: the girl who gets left with the guy, SF: long brown hair and white beanie) - the oldest member, known as the "fake maknae" due to her short height and youthful looks -Qri "Q-ree" (N9: red hair, RP: the one with twin pigtails, SF: the one with blue in her hair) - second oldest, the current leader and known as the "lucky charm", since she has the 1st line in each of T-ara's most popular songs -Soyeon (N9: long black hair and sings chorus, RP: the one wearing all white, SF: sings most of the chorus) - the main vocalist, her voice has a unique tone and it was well-known that she was originally in the lineup of SNSD, but at one point withdrew because she did not feel ready for debut yet -Eunjung (N9: shortest hair, RP: short black hair, SF: short black hair) - the 1st leader, her specialties are high notes and rapping, and she was originally trained as an actress; currently active as an actress -Hyomin (N9: long hair and raps, RP: the one with the green hat and brown hair, SF: bleached hair) - often a lead vocalist or rapper, she's known to bring the "sexiness" to the group, and has been active as a soloist -Jiyeon (N9: shoulder-length brown hair, RP: the center, SF: long black hair with some rapping) - the maknae, visual, center, she was also originally trained as an actress and has acted in many dramas In "Roly-Poly", you will also see Hwayoung, the rapper added in 2010. Unfortunately, the 2012 scandal occurred due to her and her twin sister Hyoyoung bullying Ahreum (the member added in 2012), and also her not attending practices due to her "leg injury", even though she was mostly faking the severity of it. Due to that, Hyomin posted a tweet about "putting in effort", and netizens misinterpreted it as the members bullying Hwayoung. Hwayoung was shortly kicked from the group by the CEO, but continued to play the victim card all the way until 2017. Then, a former staff member finally revealed the truth about Hwayoung being the bully. As a result, fans are very upset that the MBK CEO never cleared up the misunderstandings for 5 years, only apologizing after the former staff member revealed the truth. And that allowed T-ara to get their 1st win on a music show after 5 years of the Korean public having turned their back on them. I could go on and on about T-ara lol, but I think this is good for a basic introduction, I don't want to overwhelm someone new to them yet XD "Cry Cry" and "Lovey-Dovey" are major hits from them, but other great ones are "Lie", "Bo Peep Bo Peep", "I Go Crazy Because of You"/"You Drive Me Crazy", "Day by Day", "Sexy Love", and "So Crazy".
Thanks for you commentary, it's perfect!! You explained everything very well. I hope Austin sees it and continue to react to T-ARA, all their songs are AMAZING, I'm a die-hard fan, so yeah, always a pleasure to see new people listening to T-ARA 😍😍😍
You're welcome, T-ara has been my ult group for the last 6-7 years, and they really deserve more, so I'm at least appreciative to see all the attention they've been receiving as of late :')
Thank you 😊 it was a great explanation by the way I love this group from 2009 and even if they've already disbanded i still love them and up until now i listen from time to time to some of their songs. There are a lot of kpop girl groups now and nothing got my interest like how i was so interested in them before.. Though i like 1 girl group now but not as much as i did with T-ara I really miss them.. Their songs are my stress reliever if i may say. I listen to their music even their very first song with only 5 members (jiyeon, eunjung, hyomin, jiwon amd ji ae) titled good person but did not debut because jiwon and ji ae left but replaced by soyeon, qri and boram up until i think their last song with only 4 members (jiyeon, qri, eunjung, hyomin) titled what's my name... I love all of their songs and i miss seeing them perform all together as a 6 member group.. I'm a fan definitely will be a fan forever because i just loved them
You're welcome, I'm the same in that T-ara's songs really are just that good, not just title tracks but all their B-sides too. :) And while Soyeon and Boram have gone separate ways (for now?), the other 4 are not disbanded, just on hiatus :) They still meet together and even performed at the MMTG Chuseok Concert in October! You can find it on RUclips ;0
@@justinjyeung yeah.. I love also their B side tracks..their solo acts And their collabs everything haha even their mini series (i forgot the title but its a 6 ep series with the magic cellphone something like that) i also look for variety shows they are in and its just sad that i only found clips and if ever i find a whole video there are no eng translations :( Oh... I thought they disbanded.. But its really good to hear that they are just in hiatus.. Thank you for that clarification But i am still hoping for their reunion one day :) I think i saw that video but i'll look it up again because i was not sure if what i saw was new or was an old video.. Thank you so much for this.. :)
T-ARA had many hits with lovey dovey, cry cry, sexy love, day by day. They were the rival group to SNSD during GG's peak but their bullying scandal from taken out of context videos destroyed their career from 2012-2018 didnt help that their company didnt realy try to clarify it but let the girls get witch hunted. Good news tho is that they have cleared their name finaly in 2017/2018 but they also disbanded after it so it became bitter sweet.
Well, it was their last promotions as a group but they technically didn't disband, the 4 members who participated in the last promotions (Eunjung, Hyomin, Jiyeon, Qri) are still on very good terms and actually performed at the MMTG Chuseok special concert last year, you can even look it up on RUclips :)
I just want to add that the "rivalry" with SNSD is very friendly. Thanks to the variety show "Invincible Youth," Hyomin is very close to Sunny and Yuri.
They didn't actually disband, the last 4 members own their name since 2018 and left their shitty company; but they haven't had any activities as a group except the concert Justin already mentioned
omg u reacted to t-ara! so so so happy to see this :) there are no unfamous song exists from t-ara. all of t-ara songs are very famous in korea, every one of them. literally, koreans call them all-hit girl group cuz their songs were all hit, no exceptions.
interesting facts related to some of your other reactions: -soyeon was supposed to be snsd's leader but sadly left SM before debut due to her grandmother and uncle's passing. -hyomin is very close to sunny and yuri since they were together in an iconic variety show called Invincible Youth and she's very thankful they were some of the few idols that would still talk to and hang out with her when t-ara went through their hardships -jiyeon is one of IU's best friends
Number 9 and Sugar Free are two of all time favourite songs... any genre... They are so catchy, I sometimes listen to one of those repetitively for an hour or more! Totally addicted to those songs!
Every one knows Roly Poly. They were so big then even in Japan. But because of that scandal cause by one of the member, their careers as an idol singers have suffered. I love T-ara's long music videos tho..
Hehe your reaction to Roly Poly got me rolling 😂 yes T-ara was very famous for making music video short films. Roly Poly was the biggest girl group song of 2011. So yes you're right lol. Everyone knew the dance. 2nd gen groups were famous for making dance moves that were easy for most people to follow
Thank you for reaction! A great present for birthday! And as you mentioned T-ara are known for their cinematogfaphic music videos, for example, Cry Cry with famous actor.
t-ara had SO many memorable songs back then. these days, lots of idol songs chart but they aren't so memorable and the korean public don't actually really know the songs. But for t-ara, so many of them songs are so catchy that many people know their songs, even if they're not as familiar with the group. a lot of their concepts are a bit... questionable a first lol! but then the songs are just so catchy and so are the dances, and they became hits (aka. bo peep & roly poly)
T-ARA, KARA, SNSD, Wonder Girls, Brown Eyed Girls, and 2ne1 were the 2nd gen chart toppers and are ultimate legends. All of the groups frequently interacted with each other and some are still friends till this day. Pretty sure that except for the “rivalry” between Sones and Wonderfuls (Wonder Girl’s fandom name), all the fandoms got along pretty well. Edit: And you’re right, Roly Poly is super iconic for its dance moves.
Omg you watched Roly Poly story version. Bless your heart 😂😂 Roly Poly is basically a parody/inspiration from the (very popular) Korean movie “Sunny” where a mother in present time reminisces on her time in the 80’s with her friends and all the shenanigans they got into and then she embarks to gather all them together and meet again. Great movie you should watch it (lol off topic) but basically what you saw in the MV lol
T-ara has SO.MANY.ICONIC.BOPSSS Cry cry, lovey dovey, you drive me crazy, day by day, why are you being like this, yayaya, sexy love, like the first time (their debut)
sugar free is my number one fav T-ara song. they actually released the radio edit on an album (as well as a big room version and a ibiza version) and then put out a 16 track album of Sugar Free remixes (8 versions in English, same 8 versions in Korean). i've not seen Roly Poly before but the beginning brought tears to my eyes ....i've spent too many years invested in kpop and k-drama. i know Roly Poly was long but you should watch Sexy Love (drama version) it's 15 minutes long but an essential part of a T-ara journey
You should react to girls day -Darling -Something ( iconic song Suho and other members from super junior SHINee and tvxq did a cover of this song at a concert they dressed up as them too) -Ring my bell -I’ll be yours
Just checked the lyric translation, maybe it's about the CEO who misses his plans to convert T-ara into a 9-member lineup and members could get switched in or out "if they're not putting in enough effort"...lol
Not really, Number 9 is a reference to another song called Love Potion Number 9. T-ara's Number 9 was about getting their love back using Number 9 love potion. But, If you want to talk about the members of T-ara, T-ara consisted of 11 ex, soon-to-be and current members, not 9.
Really? I always see people saying that is a T-ARA former members reference since only Ahreum, Hwayoung, Jiwon and the 6 girls really were the ones that truly made part of T-ARA's history
@@WinterWhite If you consider Jiwon as a member then you should consider JiAe as a member, too. They both released the Good Person song and a MV with Eunjung, Jiyeon and Hyomin. Jiae and Jiwon left at the same time.
My bias is Soyeon who is the main vocalist and she used to be from SM. Also she was the one of predebute SNSD members. Her classic beautiful voice is so unique! And of course Roly Poly was an iconic song together with SNSD's The Boys and 2NE1's I'm the Best in 2011 era !!!
what i like about t-ara is that they didnt just release different versions of their songs only for them to be just remixes (minus Sugar Free), but they’re usually a ballad version of their pop songs (for example Lie/Lie Ballad, Cry Cry/Cry Cry Ballad/Do You Know Me etc.)
T-ara was the group that got me into K-pop. When "Lovey-Dovey" came out back in 2014, I had it on repeat for hours and I've been hooked on the genre ever since, so I owe these girls a lot! lol
Oh my goood Roly Poly! I first heard this song on a dancing exercise game and was like what is this disco edm awesomeness?! 😂 it’s so good. I love the dance.
T-ara were all about dance music. Disco, Club, EDM etc. and they were brilliant at it. They did an EP with 16 mixes of Sugar Free called 'EDM Club Sugar Free Edition'. Blows my mind every time I listen to it.
Roly poly was the best selling song by gg on gaon before with 4.4M download (i think psycho already beat it now) but yeah they hold that for 9 years, legend only. You should check out their performance on 170909 korea really love this song
Tara was pretty known to be a group that made dance club music. But i guess it was the trend for second gens.. Should check out crazy because of you and lovey dovey. Or orange caramel!!
T-ARA has some of the most beautiful and emotionally resonance kpop songs every made, yet what is even more amazing is that they consistently combine it with hard hitting rhythmic dance tracks, cuteness and mature sensuality too. I think Number 9 and Roly Poly are great songs and I really like Sugar Free, other favorites are Cry Cry, Day by Day, Holiday, Good Person, Lovey Dovey, Like the First Time, Ma Boo, We Were in Love, Bo Peep and You Drive Me Crazy is sensationally sultry.
Yes!! Tara’s songs are always catchy. My personal faves are Roly Poly, Lovey Dovey, Lies, Falling You, and Cry Cry. Tara, Secret, and After School are my personal fave non-SM girl groups
2nd gen really loved their cute debuts but then it slowly went towards sexy and mature concepts. For late 3rd gen into 4th gen girl crush concepts have been in.
Actually if you didn't know, Soyeon (the girl that sings the first part of the chorus in Number 9) was supposed to debut with Girls' Generation and to be the leader instead of Taeyeon! She left 6 months before their debut due to stress! Being a trainee it's definitely very hard.
Oh man, T-ara... my first ult gg, love them but their history was so tragic. I don’t know where to begin so first of all thanks for reacting to them, it’s been a long time since I listened to them, it’s bittersweet. There’s a lot of InSomnias that were former Queen’s (fandom name, as in “belonging to the Queen”) and Minx actually covered Roly Poly lol Good choice of songs for first reactions And then I realized how much more bops they had. Personally I think their earlier stuff was the best, Absolute First Album is still one of my favorite kpop albums. Some of my favorite songs are Like the First Time, You Drive Me Crazy (sounds like a B. Spears song lol) and Wae Ireoni (or Why are you like this?). Bo Peep Bo Peep gave them their first win and brought them attention. And if you’re up for another movie (they were known for doing this) Cry Cry and Lovey Dovey are a two part MV drama, as well as Day by Day and Sexy Love. They had multiple versions of their songs and mvs so it can get confusing (like Roly Poly in Copacabana ver lol) They had some catchy songs and dance moves but I do NOT miss their seizure inducing one second cuts in their MVs. Rewatch the MVs again and see how long each scene shows lol They had several lineup changes but the ot6 lineup w/ the 3 original members Eunjung, Hyomin, Jiyeon and added members Boram, Soyeon, and Qri were the most well known. My favorite members were Boram, the shortest member that looks like a kid/granny but she’s the oldest and Hyomin (the one that kinda looks like Jessica, she’s bffs with Sunny) Unfortunately, their bullying scandal made me take a 6 year hiatus from kpop because kpop is really not that serious but omg, Korea crucified them to the point where they had to promote in China/Japan instead. Good thing they were found innocent years later and that non-ot6 member who we lovingly call “the snake” got kicked out. But the damage was done. When DC got me back into kpop, T-ara was still active but I couldn’t get back into them and the events near their disbandment was a whole other issue. Sometimes now when you look at group brand reputation rankings or if you see a random poll you’ll still see T-ara’s name even though they’ve disbanded 3 years ago. There’s still Queen’s out there still trying to redeem their name and that’s freaking dedication. I could go on but i think I’ve been writing this for almost 2 hours now (ended up getting distracted by one of their drama long mvs lol) Yeah, that’s old kpop for you.
T-ARA really brings the memory of 2nd gen. they really deserve more... i was waiting for dani to officially debut with t-ara but... i was so happy to see dani in produce 101.
Sugar Free was an interesting album. They sent out the song to different DJs and there was about 12 different remixes, of the song. Sugar Free is about the loss of "sweetness" in a relationship.
You can also check their sub-unit, T-Ara N4 - Jeon Won Diary. It has some Korean traditional elements and is also fantastic to dance to!! There is a Dance Version and a Drama version mv. Btw, pls don't blame me if you can't stop going "Ting.. ga ring.. ga ring.. ga ting.."
T ara has couple of short movie kind of mvs , if you want a movie experience which are really good as well , watch day by day, cry cry and others i don't remember , and they use famous actors as well
t-ara has short movies instead of music videos. so for most of their songs if you see it is so long the reason is this is not the music video version. i actually really lik the short movie for "day by day"
Yes, many of their MV's are like movies like "Cry cry" and these two that I highly recommend you, MV drama version of "day by day" and "sexy love" BEST MVs EVER, the two videos tell the same story
about roly-poly, there’s several versions, and this 12 mins ver tells the story. the shorter version just shows the dance moves(choreo) of rolypoly song. this story is about a woman reminiscing her teenage(high school) times(probably 70-80s) and t-ara members acted that flash back timeline.
On first listening Sugar Free sounds the best but after you hear Number 9 a few times IT REALLY grows on you.. Number 9 now is one of my fave k-pop songs of all time.. top 5 of all time for me definitely.. sugar free now is ok.. but not even top 10 :p Also there is something super hot about Hyomin.. i cant quite say what it is.. shes not the prettiest but there is something about her that i find super hot.

*Soyeon leaves SM because her uncle and grandmother died, she lost her courage to be an idol since her grandmother was the one who inspired her.
its not pressure though, Soyeon left because her grandmother died and she lost the will to be an Idol
@@queensdigitalarts @Nadjirah Kelumin sorry, you guys are right. I've edited my comment!
thank for your reaction and t-ara comeback is in november after 4 years please support them
Roly Poly is a guilty pleasure of mine. It gets stuck in my head so easily
T-ara are famous fo having movie-like mv's..
SNSD (Girls'Generation), T-Ara and 2NE1... They are the reason I'm in Kpop now 💞
yeah me too .. and "after school" of course.!!
Omg me tooo
@@RanggaAlamPurnama For me it was EXID, T-ara and SNSD.
Same! My top3 second gen.
Number 9 and Sugar Free are two of all time favourite songs... any genre... They are so catchy, I sometimes listen to one of those repetitively for an hour or more! Totally addicted to those songs!
Ooohh this really brings me back I really loved Tara back then but anyways for another throw back thursday I would really recommend Miss A
Every one knows Roly Poly. They were so big then even in Japan. But because of that scandal cause by one of the member, their careers as an idol singers have suffered. I love T-ara's long music videos tho..
This group 2generation legendary 👑👑
T-ara please comeback
Sir Austin: That was a full movie(pertaining to Roly Poly)
Say by Day+Sexy Love and Cry Cry+Lovey Dovey: Oh, come on man. Know us first.
Hehe your reaction to Roly Poly got me rolling 😂 yes T-ara was very famous for making music video short films. Roly Poly was the biggest girl group song of 2011. So yes you're right lol. Everyone knew the dance. 2nd gen groups were famous for making dance moves that were easy for most people to follow
Thank you for reaction! A great present for birthday!
And as you mentioned T-ara are known for their cinematogfaphic music videos, for example, Cry Cry with famous actor.
t-ara have the best discography and videography in k-pop, believe me
Actually Rolypolly is really iconic... As a korean, Even now so many people dance Rolypoly!
TARA! Glad that you check them out! My personal fav from them are Roly Poly, Crazy Because of You. Cry Cry, and Bo Peep Bo Peep
t-ara had SO many memorable songs back then. these days, lots of idol songs chart but they aren't so memorable and the korean public don't actually really know the songs. But for t-ara, so many of them songs are so catchy that many people know their songs, even if they're not as familiar with the group. a lot of their concepts are a bit... questionable a first lol! but then the songs are just so catchy and so are the dances, and they became hits (aka. bo peep & roly poly)
T-ARA, KARA, SNSD, Wonder Girls, Brown Eyed Girls, and 2ne1 were the 2nd gen chart toppers and are ultimate legends. All of the groups frequently interacted with each other and some are still friends till this day. Pretty sure that except for the “rivalry” between Sones and Wonderfuls (Wonder Girl’s fandom name), all the fandoms got along pretty well.
Edit: And you’re right, Roly Poly is super iconic for its dance moves.
Omg you watched Roly Poly story version. Bless your heart 😂😂 Roly Poly is basically a parody/inspiration from the (very popular) Korean movie “Sunny” where a mother in present time reminisces on her time in the 80’s with her friends and all the shenanigans they got into and then she embarks to gather all them together and meet again. Great movie you should watch it (lol off topic) but basically what you saw in the MV lol
T-ARA were iconic. Cry cry is my favourite song by them.
A T-ara reactions? I'm surprised that people still listen to my ultimate kpop group. I thought only a few of us still listen to them
Roly poly. A song that I know for a long time ago. And I've just known that this song belongs to this group 🙃
I could never do the iconic hand waving thing of the Roly Poly choreography. 😞
they did like 6 versions of this song. T'ara was a super group, love them.
I remember every new song had iconic choreo they really were the IT girls of kpop back then
T-ara has SO.MANY.ICONIC.BOPSSS Cry cry, lovey dovey, you drive me crazy, day by day, why are you being like this, yayaya, sexy love, like the first time (their debut)
sugar free is my number one fav T-ara song. they actually released the radio edit on an album (as well as a big room version and a ibiza version) and then put out a 16 track album of Sugar Free remixes (8 versions in English, same 8 versions in Korean). i've not seen Roly Poly before but the beginning brought tears to my eyes ....i've spent too many years invested in kpop and k-drama.
i know Roly Poly was long but you should watch Sexy Love (drama version) it's 15 minutes long but an essential part of a T-ara journey
Omg T-ara is soooooooo gooooooooooood I Love t-ara so much
T-ara, the k-group I grow up with. Give u a like, for the reaction - after so many years.
You should react to girls day
-Darling
-Something ( iconic song Suho and other members from super junior SHINee and tvxq did a cover of this song at a concert they dressed up as them too)
-Ring my bell
-I’ll be yours
YES plz
And *Female President* & *Expectation!* Female President is the song that turned me on to K-Pop girl groups. It ROCKS.
2nd Gen will ALWAYS be iconic. True golden age LOOOL
Number Nine is about the former members of T-ARA, because if you count all the members in T-ARA history you have nine members
Just checked the lyric translation, maybe it's about the CEO who misses his plans to convert T-ara into a 9-member lineup and members could get switched in or out "if they're not putting in enough effort"...lol
Not really, Number 9 is a reference to another song called Love Potion Number 9. T-ara's Number 9 was about getting their love back using Number 9 love potion. But, If you want to talk about the members of T-ara, T-ara consisted of 11 ex, soon-to-be and current members, not 9.
Really? I always see people saying that is a T-ARA former members reference since only Ahreum, Hwayoung, Jiwon and the 6 girls really were the ones that truly made part of T-ARA's history
@@WinterWhite If you consider Jiwon as a member then you should consider JiAe as a member, too. They both released the Good Person song and a MV with Eunjung, Jiyeon and Hyomin. Jiae and Jiwon left at the same time.
@@RL-gc9pv Oh wow, never knew about Love Potion No. 9 but always wondered where the title came from lol, thanks XD
I can't tell if anyone mentioned this already, but Roly-Poly was the most downloaded song in Korea back in 2011. So yeah it was massively popular.
Thanks for listening to T-ara
Their songs are all masterpieces in kpop
they’re absolutely QUEENS
My bias is Soyeon who is the main vocalist and she used to be from SM. Also she was the one of predebute SNSD members. Her classic beautiful voice is so unique!
And of course Roly Poly was an iconic song together with SNSD's The Boys and 2NE1's I'm the Best in 2011 era !!!
Love all the members but Ji yeon is just something else for me. Talented queens 👸🏻
Omg T-ara, good old days ❤️❤️❤️
I loved the MV for So Crazy. Another good song.
2014-2015 kpop was literally some of the most amazing years for kpop! I loved so many songs from those years xD
what i like about t-ara is that they didnt just release different versions of their songs only for them to be just remixes (minus Sugar Free), but they’re usually a ballad version of their pop songs (for example Lie/Lie Ballad, Cry Cry/Cry Cry Ballad/Do You Know Me etc.)
Number 9 is literally my favorite song by T-ara. I love all their songs but Number 9 takes the cake!!!!
Finally my favourite 2nd Gen girl group, it is T-ara (pronounced as Tiara) and their fandom name is Queens.
😫 You have to react to Cry-Cry it's one of my favorite songs from T-ara so glad too see you react to them
T'ara also did some mini movies with some of their songs , very awesome................Jack
T-ara was one of the first K-POP groups I ever listened to, I was obsessed. I miss them so much 😭😍😍
Thank you for reacting to t ara 👍☘
Rolypoly is a iconic kpop song a cultural resect in korea (same energy with momoland in 2018)
T-ara was the group that got me into K-pop. When "Lovey-Dovey" came out back in 2014, I had it on repeat for hours and I've been hooked on the genre ever since, so I owe these girls a lot! lol
lovey dovey came out in 2012
Oh my goood Roly Poly! I first heard this song on a dancing exercise game and was like what is this disco edm awesomeness?! 😂 it’s so good. I love the dance.
Fun fact: that dj in roly poly mv, is one of the member’s father😆
roly poly is so so so iconic. even in my country. every school girl danced roly poly. it's a legend song and bop
T-ara were all about dance music. Disco, Club, EDM etc. and they were brilliant at it. They did an EP with 16 mixes of Sugar Free called 'EDM Club Sugar Free Edition'. Blows my mind every time I listen to it.
Wow I also discovered them just recently. The fact that I love the kpop of today but their songs is kind of cool than kpop of today.
T-ara was my first ult group. They never had bad songs tbh
I LOVE SUGAR FREE, IS A BANGER. And I also recommend What's my name, the last song they released as a group (only 4 at that time).
I love T-ara. They do deserve better. Their musics are always give me fresh and active. Never getting bore to listen.
My T-ara's fav music will be forever Lie pt. I 😔❤
I love T-ara’s songs they are really iconic, miss them so much
I would like to recommend, 4minute! especially crazy and hate.
also Volume Up and Huh!
yes volume up
Volume Up is the best 4Minute song. Change my mind.
BOTH
Volume up! 👍 anyway I love MUZIK!
Roly poly was the best selling song by gg on gaon before with 4.4M download (i think psycho already beat it now) but yeah they hold that for 9 years, legend only. You should check out their performance on 170909 korea really love this song
they really were the concept queens they always changed it up! I miss them
Tara was pretty known to be a group that made dance club music. But i guess it was the trend for second gens.. Should check out crazy because of you and lovey dovey. Or orange caramel!!
I missssssssss themmmm. 😭 gladly I found kpop around 2007
T-ara videography is AMAZING, the mvs always have storys
T-ARA has some of the most beautiful and emotionally resonance kpop songs every made, yet what is even more amazing is that they consistently combine it with hard hitting rhythmic dance tracks, cuteness and mature sensuality too. I think Number 9 and Roly Poly are great songs and I really like Sugar Free, other favorites are Cry Cry, Day by Day, Holiday, Good Person, Lovey Dovey, Like the First Time, Ma Boo, We Were in Love, Bo Peep and You Drive Me Crazy is sensationally sultry.
Yes!! Tara’s songs are always catchy. My personal faves are Roly Poly, Lovey Dovey, Lies, Falling You, and Cry Cry. Tara, Secret, and After School are my personal fave non-SM girl groups
2nd gen really loved their cute debuts but then it slowly went towards sexy and mature concepts. For late 3rd gen into 4th gen girl crush concepts have been in.
Number Nine is by far my most favorite song by Tara, btw f hwayoung✨
Thank you for your reaction. Please reaction too so crazy, ya ya ya, cry cry, Do you know me by T-ara. ❤️
Btw t-ara are known for their edm, catchy and storyline music videos! Definitely check out more of their older songs!
Actually if you didn't know, Soyeon (the girl that sings the first part of the chorus in Number 9) was supposed to debut with Girls' Generation and to be the leader instead of Taeyeon! She left 6 months before their debut due to stress! Being a trainee it's definitely very hard.
My favorite from them is So Crazy and I think you would probably like it too
Oh man, T-ara... my first ult gg, love them but their history was so tragic. I don’t know where to begin so first of all thanks for reacting to them, it’s been a long time since I listened to them, it’s bittersweet. There’s a lot of InSomnias that were former Queen’s (fandom name, as in “belonging to the Queen”) and Minx actually covered Roly Poly lol
Good choice of songs for first reactions And then I realized how much more bops they had. Personally I think their earlier stuff was the best, Absolute First Album is still one of my favorite kpop albums. Some of my favorite songs are Like the First Time, You Drive Me Crazy (sounds like a B. Spears song lol) and Wae Ireoni (or Why are you like this?). Bo Peep Bo Peep gave them their first win and brought them attention. And if you’re up for another movie (they were known for doing this) Cry Cry and Lovey Dovey are a two part MV drama, as well as Day by Day and Sexy Love. They had multiple versions of their songs and mvs so it can get confusing (like Roly Poly in Copacabana ver lol) They had some catchy songs and dance moves but I do NOT miss their seizure inducing one second cuts in their MVs. Rewatch the MVs again and see how long each scene shows lol
They had several lineup changes but the ot6 lineup w/ the 3 original members Eunjung, Hyomin, Jiyeon and added members Boram, Soyeon, and Qri were the most well known. My favorite members were Boram, the shortest member that looks like a kid/granny but she’s the oldest and Hyomin (the one that kinda looks like Jessica, she’s bffs with Sunny)
Unfortunately, their bullying scandal made me take a 6 year hiatus from kpop because kpop is really not that serious but omg, Korea crucified them to the point where they had to promote in China/Japan instead. Good thing they were found innocent years later and that non-ot6 member who we lovingly call “the snake” got kicked out. But the damage was done. When DC got me back into kpop, T-ara was still active but I couldn’t get back into them and the events near their disbandment was a whole other issue. Sometimes now when you look at group brand reputation rankings or if you see a random poll you’ll still see T-ara’s name even though they’ve disbanded 3 years ago. There’s still Queen’s out there still trying to redeem their name and that’s freaking dedication.
I could go on but i think I’ve been writing this for almost 2 hours now (ended up getting distracted by one of their drama long mvs lol) Yeah, that’s old kpop for you.
I love old Kpop. I think I’m going to start reacting to more of it. (Not just on Thursday’s).
T-ARA really brings the memory of 2nd gen.
they really deserve more...
i was waiting for dani to officially debut with t-ara but...
i was so happy to see dani in produce 101.
Sugar Free was an interesting album. They sent out the song to different DJs and there was about 12 different remixes, of the song. Sugar Free is about the loss of "sweetness" in a relationship.
You can also check their sub-unit, T-Ara N4 - Jeon Won Diary. It has some Korean traditional elements and is also fantastic to dance to!! There is a Dance Version and a Drama version mv. Btw, pls don't blame me if you can't stop going "Ting.. ga ring.. ga ring.. ga ting.."
OMG I can't beleive you react to them
I love them so much
hope you to see more reaction video to them
Lovey dovy and sexy love are bangers to check out from tara from the past, and there latest comeback so crazy from 5 years ago. All quality Bops
T-ara and Roly poly is iconic
But
Still waiting for NCT reaction
Yes to more T-ara!!!
Gotta do Sexy Love (Dance ver), Lovey Dovey (Zombie ver) and Cry Cry next!
t-ara songs are all very popular.. lovey-dovey, crycry, sexy love, day by day.. there’s all story ver m/v
T ara has couple of short movie kind of mvs , if you want a movie experience which are really good as well , watch day by day, cry cry and others i don't remember , and they use famous actors as well
Ahh... Sir Austin doesn't even realize he's listened to the 2009 Girl Group Trifecta: 2NE1, f(x), and T-ara!
I love Roly Poly and I have a lot of memories with this song , I used to dance it with my friends in middle school, it was fun for us🥺💕
t-ara has short movies instead of music videos. so for most of their songs if you see it is so long the reason is this is not the music video version. i actually really lik the short movie for "day by day"
Yes they are queen of kpop 😍😍😍, happy you found out about them
Yes finally!!Tara..one of the top girl group back then..😍😍😍i love them so much until now...u will not regret react to them..trust me..👍👍🥰🥰
I love T-ARA, they have some great songs!
Roly Poly is the most downloaded song of all time in Korea (5M+ downloads)
Yes, many of their MV's are like movies like "Cry cry" and these two that I highly recommend you, MV drama version of "day by day" and "sexy love" BEST MVs EVER, the two videos tell the same story
about roly-poly, there’s several versions, and this 12 mins ver tells the story. the shorter version just shows the dance moves(choreo) of rolypoly song. this story is about a woman reminiscing her teenage(high school) times(probably 70-80s) and t-ara members acted that flash back timeline.
and yes Roly Poly was the most listened song of 2012 in korea and was loved by different generations
On first listening Sugar Free sounds the best but after you hear Number 9 a few times IT REALLY grows on you.. Number 9 now is one of my fave k-pop songs of all time.. top 5 of all time for me definitely.. sugar free now is ok.. but not even top 10 :p
Also there is something super hot about Hyomin.. i cant quite say what it is.. shes not the prettiest but there is something about her that i find super hot.
T-Ara❤❤❤ Thank you so much for reacting to them! Their music is awesome too! 😍
They are the queen of house and disco genre. All of their song is a bop actually ❤❤❤
