Hwayoung was a member who joined T-ara about a year after her debut.
T-ara's heyday as a hugely successful girl group was Roly-Poly in 2011, and at that time, Hwayoung had already joined.
There is a perception that Hwayoung joined after all the original members achieved success with T-ara, but compared to that image, it seems like she joined earlier than expected. For reference, between February and July 2010, there were many incidents, including Jiyeon's webcam scandal, rumors of bullying within the team, and even disbandment rumors. Kim Kwang-soo predicted a big change in the team, and the member who joined as part of that change was Hwayoung. It was also at this time that the leader changed.

Hwayoung joined T-ara sooner than expected.
1. To be honest, the reason the group's image took a hit was because of the cam girl incident.
2. She was not popular.
3. Huh? Seriously, she joined the group faster than I did.
4. So it was added a year later.
5. Hwayoung is pretty
6. It is true that Bo Peep had already taken first place with Bo Peep at the time. They were already a successful group.
7. T-ara immediately achieved great success with Lies and Bo Peep Bo Peep.
8. I don't know about anything else, but I remember appearing on Star King and becoming a hot topic because she was so pretty. Then, when I saw an article saying that he had signed with Gwangsu's agency, I remember thinking, 'Why on earth is this there?' I was worried. Even at that time, Gwangsoo's agency had already become infamous in the industry, especially due to the Seeya Chae Dong-ha incident.
9. I don’t understand why members were added in the middle, but they were actually added quite early.
10. Was she there during the Roly-Poly days?
