Zelo Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 It took me 2 days to memorise their names. At first I mistook Soyeon as Boram and Boram as Soyeon...Because of their height xD... I knew Jiyeon's name from the start since I loved her before I loved T-ara as a group. The order of memorising was like this: Jiyeon->Hyomin->Eunjung->Qri->Soyeon->Boram.

L Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 The first Name I knew was EunJung, don’t remember why and how. The second name I learned was BoRam, I just road it somewhere and thought that name sounds cool. The other Names I never learned until the incident. Probably cause I was more interested in their music than the girls and never cared much about background information. With the outbreak of the Hwayoung controversy a scandal even I wasn’t able to overlook it became more important to me to know who is who. The news site i used back then also made it necessary because they sometimes showed photos of JiYeon as Hwayoung and of the real Hwayoung. So I needed to know who Hwayoung is. I felt it necessary to know who was accused of what so names became more and more important. Now I know everyone’s name, maybe the horrible incident had a positive side effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuichi Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 i need a week to memorize their stage names and dont know how long to memorize their full names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-ara Love Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 It took me some time to learn their names but wasn't too long. I had some troubles with Cry Cry video, Eunjung and Jiyeon had similar short haircut. So it brought some confusion. But I was quite new to kpop anyway, if this can be used as an excuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phucth91 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 About one hour when I get into researching thingy I do it quite fast. It has bad effect that now I'm confused by their timeline LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmk5092 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 On the day I got into T-ara I immediately learned all their names. I was easy for me (maybe is it because I'm asian?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurama Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 It took me about a day to learn all of their names and faces just from watching videos and looking at pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibiidol Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Im used to asian faces by now so i can tell who is who no problem but i dont know any names other than Eunjung's now. Its mostly because i havent looked at anyones name other than Eunjungs (i will one day but not now) But even if i did look at the other names i think i would have problem pronouncing (unless i hear it) and remembering. It doesnt have anything to do with race though, i know for a fact a new japanese kpoper would have these same problem, Japanese romanji is nothing like korean xD But it would be quite easy to remember it if its written in japanese katakana since each symbol only has one possible sound unlike english. (for me too ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derith96 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Boram was the easiest one because she was the shortest except i thought her name was qri but learning all their names took me about 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibiidol Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I take what i said back, after becoming a fan of Jiyeon yesterday evening i started watching Jiyeon videos and learned the other members name in no time without even trying or wanting to. It helped that i knew the faces though because in the video titles and it would say "Jiyeon and Insert T-ara member here doing so and so" It also helps that they all seem to look like their name somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaeunie Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Anyone always has a hard time learning names from a new group... But after you've been a asian pop fan for a while, that changes, haha T-ara didn't really give me a hard time, because I always saw news about them before I started stanning the group. They all have really different images/personalities, so that made the task easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asah_ara2472 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Less than 3 hours.I've got a great memory and KPOP is like a cinch to me.So yeah...I looked at their profile and I memorized their faces and names right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farhan Yan Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 i took about a month just to recognise their faces... especially during those videos before roly poly... they looked rather similar (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archterr Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I took about a few days to match their names to their faces/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubious Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Not long really, Hyomin and Boram stood out among them (and Qri too to an extent), figuring out the others took a little time ;~; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiye♥n Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Like, probably 5 years I've known T-ARA since they debuted and I did follow them, but not to the extent that I became a hardcore Queen (I was more of a SONE and a f(an) back then). I saw them again when they released Cry Cry and then Day by Day and Bunny Style but then they still didn't catch my eye enough for me to really get into them. And then Sugar Free came out and I was sold. Then it took me 5 day to match them up since I've already seem some of them already throughout the years and my eye for for distinguishing kpop idols apart got a lot better and yeah What I missed out 5 years ago Aish Rose Lily 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soostal Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Not very long, though I will admit that I took an interest in Jiyeon alone for a couple of months. So, I could say it took me around 2 months to learn their names given that I only paid attention to Jiyeon for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygparksujong21 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 I took me 2-3 hours to learn EXO members names, all 12 of them and before that 10 minutes to learn SNSD members. For T-ARA it took me 7 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcksh Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 i think i learn their name spent a little bit much time, for me the first member that i'am learn easily is hyomin because her name really easy secondly is eunjung because she always has short hair jiyeon is third because her face really pretty,but its hard to recognize jiyeon in some MV because her makeup and hairstyle is often change, fourth boram because of course her short height :V fifth is soyeon ,second short height after boram :v so finally QRI the last member i have learnt because QRI same case with jiyeon,but i found clue to learn QRI easily,her mole in nose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A(mber) Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 well there was 1+ year between me discovering them and getting into them, so it was more like a gradual process over an extended period of time. I don't remember which member I knew first, though I do remember commenting on the Sexy Love MV asking if the green haired one was Qri (which it was) I know I knew all the members by the time Target came out, but I'm not sure exactly when I learnt each member since it was before I was a fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_b Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Ok, the names were not the problem, but regognizing reliably who is who, took (non-actively) almost a year. It was for a long time somewhat difficult to identify them (being of foreign origin to me) from fast moving videos, while their looks change significantly from mv to mv. I mean as long as you are not used to that. Today with some new kpop-groups it is not a problem, if only I am interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
empresswithnocrown Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Since I watch all of the videos I could watch after I discovered them, I easily memorize their name but if I were to write their names in Hangul .... well' it's almost a year since I discover them and yet until now I can't even write my bias(Eunjung) name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFrozenClub Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I have the worst name memory ever, I think it took about 2 years for me to remember the names (I always mixed the names with members of AS for example) and it almost took as long to recognise them in every mv. Only one I could remember every time was Qri, cause it just was so weird name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L(aura) Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Well it took me a couple of weeks tbh lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsolex Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Haha I have to agree with the OP, I started off thinking that they are all looking the same. I don't see any major difference, but the first name I learnt was Jiyeon. She is really beautiful and caught my attention first, after her would be Eunjung and Hyomin.
