T-ara introduces 7th member & crowns Boram as new leader

And it looks like those big changes regarding T-ara was the addition of a brand new member, Ryu Hwa Young!

The 17 year old high school girl will join popular idol group T-ara, now consisting of 7 members, for their future activities and become the new official maknae! With a height of 168cm, her cute looks, and adorable face, who wouldn’t want to see more of her?

Ahead of T-ara’s upcoming schedule which includes releasing a new second album, Core Contents Media stated, “The existing six members of T-ara will help newcomer Ryu Hwa Young. T-ara will return with a stronger image.”

Official representative held an emergency meeting on the 9th where they discussed the changes that T-ara will be undergoing, one option being dividing the group up. In the end it was decided that a new member, Ryu Hwa Young, will join the group, while Boram will become the official leader, with Eunjung stepping down.
That’s not all if you thought that was it.

Ryu Hwa Young actually has a twin sister called, Ryu Hyo Young who will join the co-ed group of which Jin Hye Won is part of, and debut in September. The profiles of the other members in the co-ed group will be released shortly.

If you’re not familiar with Ryu Hyo Young, she was the one who showered Nichkhun with her aegyo on Star King right in front of Victoria back in May. Hyo Young was then talent scouted to join T-ara but after consideration, they felt that her sister, Hwa Young would be a better fit. So they switched it around.

This big announcement was originally planned to be released on the 23rd, however it was changed at the last minute on the 16th due to intense media speculation.

Core Contents Media promised big changes. They really did it.
