Allow them to introduce themselves...
T-ara (also known as Tiara or 티아라) is a 6-member girl group out of Core Contents Media. The same entertainment agency in which artists like Davichi and SG Wannabe are in. T-ara debuted on July 29th 2009 on MBC's 'Golden Fishery', they are the first group to debut on a variety TV show. T-ara's members are Eunjeong (the leader), Hyomin, Jiyeon, Soyeon, Qri, and Boram.
Before the 6-member T-ara, T-ara was a 5-member girl group. Early June 2009 two months before the girls' official debut, former leader Jiae and member Jiwon quit the group. They believed that the concept of T-ara did not match them. Immediately after, Jeon Boram, the daughter of Jeon Youngrok was added into T-ara. Three weeks before T-ara's official debut, Soyeon and Qri were added into T-ara. Thus making T-ara a 6-member girl group.
[credit: Soompi]Edit:It was announced on July 2010 that T-ara will be adding a 7th member, Ryu Hwa Young, to their group. Also, leadership has changed from Eunjung to Boram by Core Contents Media's idea of having a yearly leadership rotation in order to give every member an opportunity to shine. This "Reborn T-ara" is set to make a comeback in September 2010 with a 2nd album.
