T-ara N4 was the first official sub-group of South Korean girl group T-ara, composed of Eunjung, Hyomin, Jiyeon and previously Areum until her departure from the main group in July 2013. The sub-group only released one EP, Jeon Won Diary in April 2013.
History
[edit]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 it would be their first time official unit activities.[2]
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 that Dani would occupy Areum's positions only in the T-ara N4 sub-unit, while in May 2012 Dani was originally revealed to join T-ara as the ninth member following the completion of her training.[6][7] As of October 2014, their agency decided that Dani would not be part of T-ara N4 and continue as a trainee under the agency instead.
