The Girl Group Member Who Had To Beg Her Junior Idols To Help Her Chart

TARA‘s Hyomin made a comeback with her solo track, titled “Allure” back in February 2019. Unfortunately, her new song didn’t see as much success as her previous songs.

Hyomin took promotions into her own hands by tweeting fan accounts of top charting idols, asking them to stream her songs too. She first asked fans streaming LOONA‘s “Butterfly” to help with streaming after “Butterfly” hit Top 10 on both Naver Music and Bugs.

Then she asked DREAMCATCHER fans to stream her song too.

She confessed honestly that she was envious of her juniors’ chart rankings and asked MONSTA X fans to help her.

Lastly, she asked ITZY to help “Allure” chart on the music sites. She also snuck in her bias for Ryujin!

After seeing her ask other idols’ fans to help her song succeed in the charts, many netizens and fans felt pity for her.

The pity comes from the fact that Hyomin used to be one of the most popular idols back during the early 2010’s when T-ARA ruled the charts with their hit songs like, “Roly Poly”, “Bo Peep Bo Peep”, “Lovey-Dovey” and more. “Roly-Poly” in particular was the number one song in 2011.

T-ARA used to sweep the charts and win multiple music show awards. During their peak era, they were even considered a rival of Girls’ Generation, 2NE1, and KARA.
