Excerpt characterizing T-ara

The next day, Prince Andrei went on visits to some houses where he had not yet been, including the Rostovs, with whom he renewed his acquaintance at the last ball. In addition to the laws of courtesy, according to which he needed to be with the Rostovs, Prince Andrei wanted to see at home this special, lively girl, who left him with a pleasant memory.
Natasha was one of the first to meet him. She was wearing a blue home dress, in which she seemed even better to Prince Andrei than in the ball gown. She and the entire Rostov family received Prince Andrei as an old friend, simply and cordially. The entire family, which Prince Andrei had previously judged strictly, now seemed to him to be made up of wonderful, simple and kind people. The hospitality and good nature of the old count, which was especially striking in St. Petersburg, was such that Prince Andrei could not refuse dinner. “Yes, these are kind, nice people,” thought Bolkonsky, who, of course, don’t understand one bit the treasure they have in Natasha; but good people who form the best background for this especially poetic, full of life, lovely girl to stand out against!”
Prince Andrei felt in Natasha the presence of a completely alien to him, special world, filled with some unknown joys, that alien world that even then, in the Otradnensky alley and on the window, on a moonlit night, teased him so much. Now this world no longer teased him, it was no longer an alien world; but he himself, having entered it, found in it a new pleasure for himself.
After dinner, Natasha, at the request of Prince Andrei, went to the clavichord and began to sing. Prince Andrei stood at the window, talking with the ladies, and listened to her. In the middle of the sentence, Prince Andrei fell silent and suddenly felt tears coming to his throat, the possibility of which he did not know was within himself. He looked at Natasha singing, and something new and happy happened in his soul. He was happy and at the same time he was sad. He had absolutely nothing to cry about, but he was ready to cry. About what? About former love? About the little princess? About your disappointments?... About your hopes for the future?... Yes and no. The main thing that he wanted to cry about was the terrible opposition he suddenly vividly realized between something infinitely great and indefinable that was in him, and something narrow and corporeal that he himself was and even she was. This opposite tormented and delighted him while she sang.
As soon as Natasha finished singing, she came up to him and asked him how he liked her voice? She asked this and became embarrassed after she said it, realizing that she should not have asked this. He smiled looking at her and said that he liked her singing as much as anything she did.
Prince Andrei left the Rostovs late in the evening. He went to bed out of habit, but soon saw that he could not sleep. He lit a candle and sat in bed, then got up, then lay down again, not at all burdened by insomnia: his soul was so joyful and new, as if he had stepped out of a stuffy room into the free light of God. It never occurred to him that he was in love with Rostova; he didn't think about her; he only imagined her, and as a result his whole life seemed to him in a new light. “What am I fighting for, why am I fussing in this narrow, closed frame, when life, all life with all its joys, is open to me?” he said to himself. And for the first time after a long time, he began to make happy plans for the future. He decided on his own that he needed to start raising his son, finding him a teacher and entrusting him with it; then you have to retire and go abroad, see England, Switzerland, Italy. “I need to use my freedom while I feel so much strength and youth in myself,” he said to himself. Pierre was right when he said that you have to believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and now I believe in him. Let’s leave the dead to bury the dead, but while you’re alive, you must live and be happy,” he thought.

One morning, Colonel Adolf Berg, whom Pierre knew, as he knew everyone in Moscow and St. Petersburg, in a spick-and-span uniform, with his temples smeared in front, as Emperor Alexander Pavlovich wore, came to see him.
“I was just now with the Countess, your wife, and was so unhappy that my request could not be fulfilled; I hope that with you, Count, I will be happier,” he said, smiling.
-What do you want, Colonel? I am at your service.
“Now, Count, I’m completely settled in my new apartment,” Berg said, obviously knowing that hearing this could not but be pleasant; - and that’s why I wanted to do this, a little evening for my friends and my wife’s acquaintances. (He smiled even more pleasantly.) I wanted to ask the Countess and you to do me the honor of inviting us for a cup of tea and... dinner.
“Only Countess Elena Vasilievna, considering the company of some Bergs humiliating for herself, could have the cruelty to refuse such an invitation. - Berg explained so clearly why he wants to gather a small and good society, and why it will be pleasant for him, and why he spares money for cards and for something bad, but for a good society he is ready to incur expenses that Pierre could not refuse and promised to be.
- But it’s not too late, Count, if I dare to ask, then at 10 minutes to eight, I dare to ask. We will form a party, our general will be. He is very kind to me. Let's have dinner, Count. So do me a favor.
Contrary to his habit of being late, Pierre that day, instead of eight minutes to ten minutes, arrived at the Bergs at eight minutes to a quarter.
The Bergs, having stocked up what they needed for the evening, were already ready to receive guests.
In a new, clean, bright office, decorated with busts and pictures and new furniture, Berg sat with his wife. Berg, in a brand new, buttoned uniform, sat next to his wife, explaining to her that it is always possible and should have acquaintances with people who are higher than oneself, because only then can there be a pleasure from making acquaintances. - “If you take something, you can ask for something. Look how I lived from the first ranks (Berg considered his life not as years, but as the highest awards). My comrades are now nothing yet, and I am in the vacancy of a regimental commander, I have the happiness of being your husband (he stood up and kissed Vera’s hand, but on the way to her he turned back the corner of the rolled-up carpet). And how did I acquire all this? The main thing is the ability to choose your acquaintances. It goes without saying that one must be virtuous and careful.”

T-ara (Tiara, Korean: 티아라, Japanese: ティアラ, often spelled T-ARA or T♔ARA) are a South Korean girl group who debuted in 2009 under the label Core Contents Media.

Story

Before debuting, they were called "Super Rookies" and trained for three years. The group originally consisted of five members: Jiae, Jiwon, Eunjung, Hyomin and Jiyeon.

In April 2009, they released their first song "Joheun Saram" (좋은사람, "Good Person") as the soundtrack for the Korean drama "Cinderella Man". In July 2009, following Jiae and Jiwon's departure from the group, T-ara debuted as a six-member lineup with the additions of Boram, Soyeon, and Qri. Their debut album “Absolute First Album” was released in December 2009 and included hits such as “Geojitmal (Lies)”, “TTL (Time to Love)”, “TTL Listen 2”, “Bo Peep Bo Peep”, “Cheoeum Cheoreom” (Like the first time)" and "Neo Ttaemune Michyeo (I Go Crazy Because of You)". The next album, Temptastic (2010), included five songs, including "Wae Ireoni (Why Are You Being Like This?)" and "Yayaya". John Travolta Wannabe (2011), which included "Roly-Poly", peaked at number one on the Gaon chart and earned the group several awards and nominations. Six months later, the group released their third album, Black Eyes (2011), which included three hits: "Cry Cry", "Uri Saranghaetjanha (We were in love)" and "Lovey-Dovey". The title track "Cry Cry" earned the group number one on the Billboard Korea K-Pop Hot 100.

In 2011, T-ara signed a $4.3 million contract with J-ROCK for their Japanese debut. Their label is EMI Music Japan while management comes from J-ROCK. The first single was a remake of their hit "Bo Peep Bo Peep". The song ranked number one on the Oricon Weekly Chart with 49,712 copies sold. T-ara released their first Japanese album, Jewelry Box, in 2012, which peaked at number two on the Oricon chart. Three people have been added to the group since debut: Hwayoung in 2010, Areum in June 2012, and Dani, who was supposed to join the group in December 2012 (though she still hasn't joined). Hwayoung later left the group following a scandal in July 2012. At the beginning of July 2013, Ahrym left the group, explaining that she wanted to pursue a solo career. Following Ah-reum's departure, the agency announced that T-ara was returning with the original lineup they were with when they debuted in 2009.

In 2012, with the release of the Day By Day album, Ahreum joined the group, and it was also announced that Dani, who had played a role in the Day By Day drama video, would soon join. In August 2012, Hwayoung left the group amid scandal. In July 2013, Ah-reum decided to go solo, after which Core Contents Media announced that the group was returning to its 2009 lineup.
