t-ara is a Korean girl group from Seoul, South Korea formed by Mnet Media in 2009. Before their debut, there was a high level of interest in the group as they were called “Super Rookies” and had been training for three years prior to debut. Originally a five member group, they released their first song Good Person for the Cinderella Man OST in April 2009. In June 2009 members Jiwon and Jiae left the group, ruining the original plans for debut. The next month, t-ara regrouped to become a 6 member group and released their debut single Lies (Korean: “거짓말”).
