Jiyeon’s recent post elicited feelings of nostalgia among fans for T-ARA’s iconic “Roly Poly”era. This hit song was a major factor in propelling T-ARA to the forefront of the 2nd generation girl groups and establishing them as a formidable rival to Girls’ Generation. “Roly Poly”became synonymous with the innocent and youthful schoolgirl concept, complete with name tags and a viral disco dance that gained popularity throughout Asia. Fans were quick to speculate that T-ARA may be planning a nostalgic comeback, especially after Jiyeon shared a photo of the name tags, which holds a special significance for their devoted followers.

Although only four members—Jiyeon, Hyomin, Eunjung, and Qri—remain, they have maintained a loyal fanbase who supports them in both group and individual activities. Despite a past bullying scandal that impacted their peak career, T-ARA continues to come together and create memories with their fans, showcasing their strength and unity even after 15 years.
