T-ara N4 was the first official sub-group of South Korean girl group T-ara formed by Core Contents Media, now also known MBK Entertainment, in 2013. The sub-group consists of three (formerly four) members: Eunjung, Hyomin and Jiyeon.

History

Formation

In late March 2013, T-ara's agency Core Contents Media were in the midst of forming a new unit from the group with the members Eunjung, Areum, Jiyeon and Hyomin. The unit's name, T-ara N4 (which stands for "T-ara Brand New 4") was revealed April 12, 2013.[1] T-ara previously tried sub-units with the promotions of their sixth Japanese single "Bunny Style!", in which the B-sides were sung by units of two and three members; however this will be their first time doing formal unit activities.[2]

2013: Debut

T-ara N4's debut single, "Jeon Won Diary" (전원일기; Jeon-won Ilgi), was inspired by the 1980s South Korean drama of the same name.[3] Produced by Duble Sidekick, the song is said to have "funky and intense" dance music combined with elements of hip-hop,[4] with the main motif of "Jeon Won Diary" about breaking away from the same everyday routine.[3]

On July 10, 2013, Areum left the group to pursue her solo career.[5] Core Contents Media announced Areum was replaced by Dani in T-ara N4. Dani was originally revealed as the eighth member of T-ara in 2012[6] but never debuted with the group. After Areum had withdrawn under T-ara and T-ara N4, Dani only replaced Areum's position in T-ara N4 in 2013.[7] After their agency renaming in October 2014, their agency initiated Dani to not be part of T-ara N4. However, Dani continues to training under the agency.
