T-ara, is it the team in the bullying controversy? A four-member group without Ryu Hwa-young is still “very happy”

T-ara celebrated their 12th anniversary with four members Jiyeon, Hyomin, Eunjung and Qri on July 29th. The four members’ close friendship warms fans’ heart.

Jiyeon celebrated the 12th anniversary of her debut with Hyomin, Eunjung, and Qri. On July 29th, Jiyeon posted a picture on her personal Instagram account with the message, “This is happiness”. In the photo, Hyomin, Qri, Jiyeon, and Eunjung are celebrating their 12th anniversary with a cake and bouquets of flowers.

All four members have smiles on their faces. Bae Yoon-jung also joined in the game and expressed her love by commenting, “Oh, 12 years old… it’s amazing.” Hyomin‘s reply made the fans happy, “It’s absolutely unbelievable“. 

In particular, she drew attention by writing a comment on Jiyeon‘s personal photo, “So will you marry me?” The four members were showing off their close friendship and so many people wonder whether this is a group that had rumors of bullying and discord in the past.

Girl group T-ara made their debut with ‘Lies‘ in 2009 and was widely loved by many famous songs such as ‘Roly Poly’, ‘Cry Cry’, ‘Lovey Dovey‘, and ‘Yayaya‘. However, after the bullying controversy with member Hwa-young, the career of the group went downhill, Boram and Soyeon left the team.

Currently, Hyomin, Qri, Jiyeon, and Eunjung form a four-member group to maintain the T-ara name and communicate with fans.
