[edit] 2009: Debut

T-ara made its debut on MBC's Radio Star talk show.[2] The music video was released that day. Their first performance was on Mnet's M! Countdown show, where they performed "Lies" and "Wanna Play". Their debut was looked upon negatively by netizens, who noted that it was lipsynched and commented that it seemed like an elementary school performance.[3] The group announced afterward that future performances would be live.[4]

A few members of T-ara (Eunjung, Soyeon, Hyomin and Jiyeon) was in a project group with Supernova, a six member male group. The digital single, "T.T.L (Time To Love)".
