T-ARA Eunjung signs exclusive contract with production company for "Money Flower" "It all started with a connection from her childhood as a child actor"


Eunjung (29), a member of the Korean girl group "T-ARA", has signed an exclusive contract with UFO Productions, the production company for the MBC drama "Money Flower".


UFO Productions officially announced the exclusive contract with Eunjung on the 6th.


Eunjung, who debuted as a member of the girl group "T-ARA" in 2009, has a feminine image, but also a seductive visual and brilliant performance, and has not only been loved by Korean fans, but has also been active in China and established herself as a "Korean Wave star".


With the acting skills she has accumulated since her days as a child actress, she has starred in dramas such as "Coffee House," "Dream High," and "Various Wives," and has been active as an actress. She has also been active on the big screen through movies such as "White" and "Disappearance 2."


A UFO Productions representative said, "We became 'family' through the important bond we shared as child actresses. We will provide all kinds of support so that Eunjung can freely demonstrate all of her talents." He added, "If there is an opportunity for her to (work) as T-ARA, we will support her to the fullest. We ask for your continued love and support."

★ "If there is an opportunity for her to (work) as T-ARA, we will support her to the fullest. We ask for your continued love and support."


T-ARA was a strange group that spent much of their time active in hardship and suffering.


They became top girls soon after their debut, then went into a slump, but when their contract period came to an end, they returned to Korea and regained their popularity.


Their path is very similar to that of Wonder Girls, who went to America and were covered in failures.


However, the story is somewhat different.


Wonder Girls went to America at the height of their popularity in the country.


They set out with two ambitions: to spread K-pop and to pursue the American dream.


But this strategy backfired.


It seemed too early to achieve their dream, and their success only began.


After that, their activities became increasingly stagnant when they returned to Korea.


They made their Japanese debut, but their chance to become popular had already been missed.


T-ARA was popular in Japan, and their activities both at home and abroad were generally going well.


But the fact that things were going too well ended up increasing friction between the members.


Amid their busy schedules, a small rift between the members was leaked online, which led to bullying allegations (commotion) that were exaggerated and could not be contained.


The truth was never revealed, but the group itself suffered great damage.


The incident was hushed up, causing discomfort among the public.
As a result, T-ARA was forced to work with limited freedom.


The seeds of the scandal continued to smolder, and with no opportunity to appear on television, the girls had no choice but to exile.


They decided that they needed to atone for themselves, and that the only way to do so was to go outside.


Around that time, the K-pop boom in Japan was starting to decline.


China was the only place they could head.


If they had been lucky enough, the K-pop boom would have blossomed in China.


It was a long time after that that T-ARA's activities, after they had disappeared from Korea, began to be widely reported in China.


Videos of T-ARA's concert tours in China were uploaded to YouTube.


I watched them from time to time.


In the halls where Chinese fans were going wild, there was a hint of sadness in the smiles of the girls.


Were they not enjoying the stage? Was the pain of not being able to perform on stage in their home country clouding their emotions?


No, maybe it was because I saw Jiyeon looking at them a lot...


Still, it was better while they were active as a group of six.


There was a time when they continued to work as a unit of four, and I was worried that something was going on between the members.


After that, as talk of their solo debut spread and news of Jiyeon's relationship with Lee Dong Gun spread, people began to look forward to T-ARA's comeback.


After that, they made a comeback with "So Crazy" in 2015, and they started to get active again.


While continuing to perform in China, they made a comeback the following year with "Tiamo," and this soothing song became such a hit that it caused T-ARA fans to return.


This song was chosen as "Best Video No. 1" by FUSE TV in the US.


This song competed for first place against such impressive competitors as MAMAMOO, SHINee, BTS, and CNBLUE, so it could be said to be a masterpiece that represents T-ARA.


I hope Eunjung will do her best as both an actress and a singer.
If possible, I would like to see her play the heroine role rather than a supporting role someday.
