Originally a five-member group composed of Jiae, Jiwon, Eunjung, Hyomin, and Jiyeon, they released their first song "Good Person" (좋은 사람; Joheun Saram) for the soundtrack of the Korean drama Cinderella Man in April 2009. After Jiae and Jiwon withdrew from the group two months later, T-ara debuted as a six-member group with the addition of Boram, Soyeon, and Qri in July 2009,[1] releasing their first single "Lie" (거짓말; Geojitmal).

Their debut studio album Absolute First Album was released in December 2009 and spawned several hit singles including "TTL (Time to Love)", "Bo Peep Bo Peep", and "You Drive Me Crazy" (너 때문에 미쳐; Neo Ttaemune Michyeo). The album was followed by the group's first extended play, Temptastic, in 2010. Their second extended play John Travolta Wannabe (2011) produced "Roly-Poly", which was nominated for several awards and went on to become the Gaon chart's number one single of the year. In less than six months, the group released their third extended play Black Eyes (2011), which spawned three number one singles: "Cry Cry", "We Were in Love" (우리 사랑했잖아; Uri Saranghaetjanha) and "Lovey-Dovey".

They recorded the song "Apple Song" especially for the CF, which was later included and retitled as "Apple is A" on the group's debut studio album Absolute First Album.[112] In 2010, the group modeled for such companies as Mentholatum Korea,[113] Tedin Water Parks,[114] and Olympus cameras.[115] T-ara was chosen to model for Tedin Waterpark again in 2011.[116] In February, T-ara and their labelmate Supernova signed an endorsement contract with Japanese family restaurant chain Gusto.

In 2011, T-ara modeled in commercial films for sports brand Spris, electronics brand iRiver, software company Windysoft, optical store Look Optical, instant noodles brand Shin Ramyun, Crown Mountain and many others.[117] T-ara launched their own café franchise called Cafe Page One that will expand into a chain of 500 nationwide stores. The name of their café was influenced from the cafe that member Eunjung ran in her drama Coffee House. Cafe Page One was opened on July 1, 2011, where the members were present to greet the customers.[118] The same year, T-ara was chosen as the new advertisement models for cosmetics brand Tony Moly. The group is expected to model for the brand in not only South Korea, but China, Japan, and other Asian countries as well.[119] T-ara is also the first idol group to sign a contract with online shopping mall Hi-Mart.[120] In February 2012, T-ara became models for the chicken chain Brilliant Chicken.[121]

In September 2013, T-ara signed their first endorsement contract since their scandal the previous year, becoming models for Japanese fashion label DPG.[122]

In early 2015, T-ara reportedly signed a US $1 million contract with Celucasn, a Chinese popular clothing brand with images and a short promotional video also have already been released.[123]

In 2016, T-ara became the face of the collection "Honey Cells" of the Korean cosmetic Brand Artbeaute.[124]

Philanthropy

T-ara held a charity event on Dec, 14 in Eunjung's mothers cafe Cafenne, T-ara's old clothing, stage costumes and donations from Davichi, Ha Seokjin, Hwang Jungeum and Son Hojun were to be auctioned off. T-ara raised a total of 12.5 million won (~US$12,000) from the sales and donated about 2.5 million won (~$2,400) directly on the day. On 27th, T-ara donated the remaining 10 million won (~$10,000) to the Sharing Campaign "Hope Windmill" organized by the Red Cross by directly visiting the event. T-ara said, "We are able to end the year with a warm heart thanks to the many people who took part in the charity event and we give thanks to those who helped T-ara take the steps necessary for it."[125]
