And that’s pronounced like Tee-ahrah not Terra! D Not Ignore the – in T-ara! It’s SRS Business!
Any way, that’s all I know as far as T-ara is concerned and these members of course…
Ji-Yeon
Well duh!
I would be so damn ashamed if I didn’t know her at least since I proud myself in being a huge Korean Movie Dork! Seriously, anyone here who doesn’t know her, raise your comments…
Ahem!
And just so in case there is someone out there who only has heard of her just now, I will have an infinite number of caps of her at the end there so scroll through later for your own memorandum!
Getting to the point of this post…I am having a common problem that all new fans have with a group and that is that I just can’t differentiate some of them from each other and it’s that harder with KPOP than Japan. I guess it’s because I am used to Japanese girls but I just can’t tell the difference between Korean Girl idols that easily, unless they have special physical features that make them stand out some! And yes, the example is Ji-yeon’s eyes (God damn those eyes!) But it’s not just her. I am applying this formula to the rest of the girls in T-ara and so far, these are all I know…
~
There are eight members right now, right? So I am going to use caps from that performance of Don’t Leave and Day by Day for this post. BTW, how come Ji-yeon wasn’t in Don’t Leave performance? Was she there and I am just messed up inside or something that I missed her?
1. Ji-yeon
Thanks to her unique (Fox Goddess) eyes, she can easily be recognised no matter which PV she is in! Totally my most known member of T-ara that in fact got me interested in the group in the first place.
Now I know how all those AKB fans that were lured by Acchan feel…I think
By the way, while I am on Ji-Yeon, I have yet to decide whom I ship her with most – IU or Dani? I can’t decide yet!
Before you bash, remember I am new to T-ara, mkay? And I don’t know IU all that much either, just started watching heroes (currently on episode 10) but they don’t look all that…erm…Mayuki-like friendly. They actually seem like the normal friends which is kind of a let down from all rave I heard from Ji-Ubers (Ji-yeon/IU shippers).
But like I said, still knew and not really in decision making position yet so I will give it time!
Moving on…
2. Bo Ram
Other than the hard fact that she has to be the little-lest Korean idol ever! (LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL) She looks like a character right out of a Final Fantasy world!
Seriously look at that face!
And her name stands out too so those are quite a few little things that make me spot her right out of the bunch!
~
3 Dani (A-reum?)
And of course we have the newest addition to T-ara, the 14 yr old loli whose eyebrows stand out the most to me.
But wait a minute…this is a tricky one too. If these next caps are of her…someone’s bowl will be filled with brick!
That’s not her, right? right?!!! ‘Cause if she is by the gods….
I mean I couldn’t help but be pulled in by this girl as her presence was commanding attention so hard I couldn’t look away from her. And if it’s not Dani, then who HTF is it?!!
~
4. Eunjung
She’s too frikkin cool to be mixed up with someone lese people!
And those lips…yum!
~
And there you have it! that’s the only members I am proud to say I would know who they were had they been covered in chocolate sauce from head to toe!
Seriously…
So then I ask theee, who the hell are these?!
1. The Doll
Nobody is that frikkin perfect in looks! is she real?
Who is she?!!
2. The Tomochin Clone
…
The hell?!!
3. The Clone of the Tomochin Clone
Seriously, WTF?!!
4 The Other Coolaid!
Who are these members??!!!
I need help to differentiate them o that I can get to know them better.
Well, I am sure I will some time soon after watching a few of their non-makeup selves and other tv shows of them…Like the new ‘Star Life theatre’.
Yep, I am so into T-ara now it’s not even funny! I have already watched all their PV (all versions of them all) and so very falling in love with them more!
The future is looking bumpy already. I am just praying Yukirin hears none of this though
Ja, ne
July 17, 2012 at 21:14
Hey I’ve been a fan of ur blog for a long time now and I thought I could give u a hand.
The doll is soyeon idk really about her cause I barely see her on variety show except oh my school. The tomochin clone is hyomin mmm she is one of the more popular members and u can learn more about her on invincible youth (which lead me to become a fan of t-ara myself) she loves cameras and has a bunch of her own which she takes pic of herself and members. The other two I don’t know much about but the Coolaid has a twin sister tht is in the same company but in another group. The clon of te tomochin clone i just know her name is qri. Hope this helps even tho it’s not much.
July 17, 2012 at 22:09
Thank you very much Jencoco and I am happy to know you are a lurker. Thanks for the help.
You have helped me much more than I was expecting really. That’s three down and one to ^^
July 17, 2012 at 21:18
The Doll is SoYeon, the Tomochin Clone (who doesn\’t really looks like Tomochin… She is more perfect… And dorky) is Hyomin (pink haired girl in the mv of Day by Day *_*), the Clone of Tomochin Clone is Qri and the Other Coolaid is Hwa Young !
I m very happy to see that you like T-ara right now. ^_^
I have followed your blog for two years (or more) but it\’s the first time I have posted a comment.
(My english is pretty bad, that\’s why…).
I really would like to thank you for all your posts.
Your blog is amazing, and I m very happy you came back… \\o/
July 17, 2012 at 21:29
Sorry, I’m the second one to post an answer… ^_^°
Oh and if you want to follow a new interesting pairing, you could see some videos of Hyomin (T-ara) and Sunny (SNSD). Their couple is called “Sunbyung” and…
They are just so REAL ! (Like TaeNy but it’s an other story…xD)
I just wanted to say that but maybe you already know them.
Well…Sorry, I talk a lot…
Good night !
July 17, 2012 at 22:15
Haven’t yet touched SNSD but even I know of Sunny ^^
The Power of yuri will compel me to follow them now that you have mentioned it! ^^
Thanks
July 17, 2012 at 22:13
Thank you Panda, for visiting all this time and the help on T-ara.
Yeah, I probably will receive a lot of stones from T-ara fans about the Tomochin reference (I already have actually >.<) but I can't help it, me being an AKB-fag and totally new to T-ara.
But with your help, I am now getting into the rhythm of things and I am hunting down these members to get to know them better.
Thank you again and very happy you decided to finally comment and help me out in the process.
July 18, 2012 at 14:57
No stones for you. Only many thanks ^_^
I m a big fan of AKB as well so I can’t blame you (I did the same when I started listening T-ara. But not with Tomochin… =P)
An interesting pairing in T-ara is Boram and SoYeon. They’re so cute together…
The Power of Yuri is undeniable
July 18, 2012 at 15:39
Oh hi…The Doll and the FF girl?
Do WANT!
Time to finish of Star Life theatre
July 18, 2012 at 20:30
Yes, the doll and the FFgirl (can’t realize that Boram is the oldest yet) xD
July 17, 2012 at 23:55
I love how there’s a million K-Idols who look like Tomochin (or should I say, Namie Amuro?)
I even refer to KARA’s Goo Hara as Tomochin 2.0 now LOL
July 18, 2012 at 00:02
It’s madness I tell ya.
I guess Tomochin is that fashionable, even down to physical structure!
July 18, 2012 at 01:28
Dani is the blind girl with Hyomin in Day by Day video, she has yet to made an appearance on stage afaik. That no.3 one is Areum, another new addition but she seems to have a nice vocal and can rap too.
LOL @ Tomochin clone.
July 18, 2012 at 01:33
Wait, so how many members are there now?
And Dani is not A-reum….FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU
So much to learn!
July 18, 2012 at 01:38
9
No Dani is not Areum, LOL.
Yeah they kept adding members. Don’t know what Dani’s role in the group yet but some say she’s a rapper (unneeded imo, especially since there is already Hwayoung and the two all rounder Eunjung and Hyomin).
You may want to check out tiaradiadem.com if you want to know more about T-ara , that’s T-ara’s international forum.
July 18, 2012 at 01:53
Thank you Sammy,
time to stalk!
July 18, 2012 at 05:17
Waahh I love how one of my favorite bloggers has started to love one of my favorite k-pop groups! I really do think you should watch Invincible Youth (Season 1) as that is how I got into T-Ara (You will love Hyomin, that weirdo >v<). I strongly recommend watching it and hey, you might end up liking a lot of the other girls on the show too ^^ (it really expanded my interest in girl groups)!
July 18, 2012 at 08:10
Ahhh… T-ara. The queens of my K-Pop heart. XD I can definitely understand the attraction to Jiyeon; I felt the same pull when I chanced upon her a year ago. Those eyes are simply hypnotic! She goes from being cute (Bo Peep Bo Peep) to sexy (I Go Crazy because of you) to badass bitch (Day by Day) to hot guy (Cry Cry) in a blink of an eye. Others already identified the members, but just to add: Qri (aka the clone of the Tomochin clone) is mostly recognizable with that mole on her nose, and Hwayoung (aka the other coolaid) is the giant.
As for OTPs, in T-ara it’s actually an OT3: Jiyeon/Eunjung/Hyomin. From supposedly being 5 (pre-debut), to 6, to 7, to 8 and eventually 9 members (this December), these 3 have been there right from the start hence the super closeness with each other. Jiyeon and IU, on the other hand, are more like BFFs than anything else. They’re super adorable in Heroes!
P.S. If you have time, I recommend watching Jungle Fish 2. It’s a short high school drama with a darker twist (suicide, teen pregnancy, cyber bullying, etc). Kinda depressing but it’s one of Jiyeon’s best dramas, imo. 😀
July 18, 2012 at 10:42
btw, Jiyeon was missing Don’t Leave performance because she apparently injured her nose a day or two before the recording. She kinda has the comeback curse – last year’s Roly Poly she was painfully limping through a performance because of an injured ligament; early this year’s Lovey Dovey she almost fainted on stage because of exhaustion (she fainted right after); and now with Day by day she injured her nose. That, and she’s actually the most overworked member of the group (together with Eunjung). =/
July 18, 2012 at 15:34
Awww My poor Ji-yeon T.T
I hope Dani was also out because she was taking special care of Ji-yeon
….
^________^
July 18, 2012 at 15:35
Thank you so much for the info ^^
You really are knowledgeable…O.O
I don’t even want to think of how you got that info >.<
July 18, 2012 at 15:31
Thank you very much Seoyulfan07
You have given me something that can actually help me identify the members better, even if they change makeup and stuff.
Also for the recommendation.
Too many things to watch and I have yet to even reach half way of Heroes >.<
July 18, 2012 at 16:22
Haha, things like that spread over the fandom like wildfire. K-pop fans are scarily fast in transmitting news out. It’s all over tumblr in a matter of minutes, I swear. (And the injuries are so noticeable because she’s the default camera focus and it’s like watching and waiting for her to drop dead on stage whenever it happens. =/)
Kinda makes me wish the same thing happens with AKB, but the 48-fandom in tumblr is small. News (and gossip) trickle so slowly.
Watch Heroes first! It gives great insight into her adorable and playful personality. She plays the bitchy character (to perfection) in most dramas, and it’s so easy for that first impression to stick.
Also, Dani won’t be debuting until this December; we have to wait ’til then for some jailbait action. Too bad the members all live separately now. Just imagine how things would be if they’re all still living in one dorm when Dani comes along. Oh yeah!
July 18, 2012 at 16:29
SAVE THE LOLI!
It would be the battle for the loli all over again, this time all would be involved!
BTW, how old is A-reum?
July 18, 2012 at 14:26
I used to be a huge SoQyul stan, kinda died down quickly. I still love Qri though and I really like Areum.
Speaking of new admissions, I really really like Kaeun from After School. Check them out?
July 18, 2012 at 15:38
What is this After school? A new group?
July 18, 2012 at 16:23

July 18, 2012 at 17:21
Thank you for more info YuRiAnDo,
I am not so much one for threesomes, (Why I simply hate Rinne no Lagrange episode 14 so much that I am not blogging it) But I will be keeping an eye out for the other couples you mentioned. Tom and Jerry are looking mighty tempting right now…
Thanks
July 18, 2012 at 17:28
hihi..welcome..but don’t bother bout that threesome..focus to a few that u like lo..XD
like eunji..XD
July 18, 2012 at 17:11
The Korean age system is hella confusing sometimes, but I think she’s a year younger than Jiyeon. She’s a 94-er, if I’m not mistaken.
But we all know the truth: there’s only one loli to rule them all. 😀
July 18, 2012 at 17:24
So, 17/18 then?
Thank God I don’t have to feel guilty for ogling her in those tight pants during that Day by Day performance!
Oops
July 18, 2012 at 17:47
Yup, it’s perfectly safe to ogle at the 18-year old. Ooops, did I say ogle? To visually appreciate, is what I mean.
Too bad I still can’t do the same thing. My brain has a knack for freezing and/or crashing whenever Jiyeon flashes on screen. God her sultry bitchface is the best. Day by Day has forever cemented Jiyeon’s status as the sexiest evil warlord in my mind. And the fact that she could probably break someone’s neck with a quick reverse roundhouse kick in real life certainly helps.
July 18, 2012 at 18:26
If even bricks don’t stand a chance against her palms, a neck has no way in hell to stand up to her kick!
Damn, her and her manliness and IU with her manly voice…they sure would make a super GAY couple!
Both are girls but both have boyish traits!
LOL
