T-ara revealed today that G-Market will soon open a T-ara Star Shop. Customers will be able to purchase spring fashion items that the members helped design. In addition to enjoying products influenced by T-ara's personality, fans can also look forward to promotional videos featuring T-ara wearing the products from the shop.

It has been revealed by Core Contents Media (CCM) that girl group T-ara will officially change to a nine member group for their next promotion cycle.

Namoo Entertainment, the company behind the American concert of Core Contents Media (CCM) artists Davichi, T-ara, and Yangpa, has revealed that it filed a compensation lawsuit of 390 million won against the agency. 

As revealed early last month by Core Contents Media's CEO Kim Kwangsoo, girl group T-ara is expected to add two girls to their seven member lineup tomorrow. According to officials who spoke with Star News, T-ara is set to begin their comeback promotions in the summer after undergoing the member changes.

It has been announced that popular singers 2NE1, Shinhwa, SE7EN, and T-ara will perform at the Santa Fe Runcert on April 21st. The "runcert" combines a marathon and a K-Pop concert, and will take place in Incheon. 

In April, girl group T-ara will have a short vacation in Europe, and it has been revealed that the girls will share their experiences with fans on their own Youtube channel. 

It was previously reported that girl group T-ara would "undergo major changes" in April, and that the extent of these changes would be revealed on April 7th. However, since this announcement, Core Contents Media's CEO, Kim Kwangsoo, has spoken about the group's future. According to Kim, it is possible that the group will go from seven to eight members, or even become nine members. Whether this is achieved by simply adding more members or replacing current members has not yet been decided. 

With another month of releases, Oricon has revealed the full list for February's sales. It doesn't include many Korean releases, but Korea is still represented by T-ara and U-Kiss's new releases, as well as older ones by KARA, Girls' Generation and Kim Hyunjoong still going strong.

Core Contents Media's CEO, Kim Kwangsoo, has revealed earlier today that 7-member girl group T-ara will be undergoing some major changes next month. The changes will be related to the group's concept, music, and quite possibly the members themselves as well. 

Having just released their 3rd Japanese single "Roly Poly", girl group T-ara is set to release their first ever Japanese full length album in June. Core Contents Media previously revealed their plans for a new album, concert and fanclub launch and has now confirmed the group's official tour dates. 

Earlier today, it was reported that Gummy was awarded the "K-Pop New Artist" at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards in Japan. Fellow Korean artists TVXQ and T-ara were also recognized in the ceremony and were awarded as "Top Pop Artists".

Recently releasing their music video teaser for the Japanese version of their track "Lies", T-ara has unveiled the full music video for the track today. "Lies" which was originally released in 2009 in South Korea, was remade into a Japanese version and will be included in their third Japanese single. 

It was recently announced that T-ara will be halting their acting activities for 2012. On February 26th, their company, Core Contents Media, stated that they will be primarily focusing on album promotions, and will be taking a temporary break from all of their acting activities. 

Set to celebrate their third anniversary as a group, T-ara is revealed to be planning a big concert this summer along with the official launch of their fan club. On the 26th of February, Core Contents Media announced that by July, T-ara will be meeting their fans with a new album and will launch an official fan club. They will also have a grand concert to mark their third anniversary since debut. 

T-ara announced through their official Japanese website that they have opened a "T-ara Collab Cafe" next to Tower Records Shibuya in Tokyo, Japan. This collaboration with the record label means that from February 23rd until March 5th, the cafe will be T-ara-themed to promote their Japanese activities. 

T-ara have concluded their Korean activities with "Lovey Dovey" and is set to release their 3rd Japanese single "Roly Poly" at the end of February. The first music video teaser for the Japanese version "Lies" has been released. 

Comeback stages for KBS Music Bank's February 17th episode saw male soloists K.Will and Jay Park perform their title tracks "I Need You" and "Know Your Name" respectively. K.Will also performed another single titled "I Hate Myself," which was released prior to his mini-album.
