T-ara’s Ji Won and Ji Ae are OUT
It's been only a little over a month since T-ara's 5 members were introduced to the public: Ji Yeon, Ji Ae, Eun Jung, Hyo Min, and Ji Won. We have been seeing Ji Yeon in the news quite often, from her graduation pictures to her being casted in movies and dramas. However, in the midst of all of Ji Yeon's recent fame and attention, there must have been some drama behind the scenes between some of the members of T-ara.
Ji Won and Ji Ae have decided to leave the group due to "differences in style" (commonly used these days). In my opinion, the loss of these two members may impact the group because as I watched their music video for Good Person, the OST song for the drama, Cinderella Man, I thought Ji Ae had the most unique voice while Ji Won already had quite a large fan base for her roles in movies like GoSa and A Story Sadder Than Sadness. But then again, if these two members had stayed in the group and continued to "clash", the result might not be that good in the long term.
T-ara will not revert to being a 3-member group though because MNET Media has swiftly drafted in Jeon Young Rok's daughter, Jeon Boram to become the new T-ara member, making it a 4-member girl group now. Jeon Boram had already made her debut as a singer at the start of the year when she released a project digital single called "Is it Today" in the single album "Lucifer Project 1" and stirred up the media as the only 3rd generation artist in Korea. Her father as well as her grandfather were famous singers in Korea and she is now continuing her family's legacy.
Here are some pictures of Jeon Boram, the new member of T-ara.
^ Doesn't she look like Han Ji Min here?
She also shook up Korean netizens by this video of her dancing to BoA's "My Name".

Let's wait and see if this change of members was a good idea or not.
