6 member rookie girl group T-ara (Tiara) will be having their 'performance' debut on M! Countdown later today and the 6 members have been working hard to prepare for their debut performance. ISPlus stuck with the girls to capture some of their preparation moments in pictures. Check out the girls working hard to perfect their debut performance.

My flexibility is okay right? Qri is warming her body up by stretching in the practice room.

The nation's nuna fans were shocked at Yoo Seungho's kiss scene. In T-ara's debut song 'Lies' Yoo Seungho's lips touched with member Jiyeon's.

Did it come out pretty? After filming the music video at the Kyungkido Namyangju set, they are watching themselves intently on the monitor. Everything is still new and strange to T-ara.

This is the practice room in Nonhyundong, Seoul where you can smell T-ara's sweat. On the days where there is no special schedule, they spend at least 12 hours or more dancing and singing here.

Eunjung sitting on the floor of the practice room, trying on the high heels she is to wear onstage. They are 12 cm 'kill heels'. Will she be able to wear these heels and dance onstage?

"It's hard, right? Eat snacks while watching Hyomin's one-man show hehe."

Everybody is tired from practicing but Hyomin still has spirit left. Wearing a green hoodie, Hyomin is trying to lift up the mood of the other members by having a little dance time.

"Selfca continues."

The drama 'Soul' which is airing on August 5th features Jiyeon. At the practice room, when she has time, she looks over her script.

Under 2NE1 and 4Minute is the new cute, dynamic rookie girl group T-ara, with a soft and innocent image. Eunjung is hooked on taking selfcas while the other members have not entered the practice room yet. "What if I make a 'squeak' on stage?" Because of this worry, these days the members have been practicing singing when they have time. From the left is Eunjung, Qri and Soyeon.

Soyeon is playing on the keyboard for Qri as she practice 'Lies'. There are still many songs to record so they cannot be lazy about practicing singing.

Wow, its break time. Everyday from morning to dawn is the practice schedule and T-ara is tired. They are now having a fun break time. From their company Core Contents Media, they went on an MT trip with their sunbaes: SG Wannabe, Seeya, Supernova, Davichi, Black Pearl, Yangpa and Lee JIn to Kyungkido, Yangpung for 1 night and 2 days. It is fun just sitting together on the floor and drawing. At the playground they play soccer, volleyball, softball with their sunbaes while becoming friendly with them. At dinnertime, they have a talent show. From the left is Seeya's Boram, T-ara's Hyomin, T-ara's Jiyeon and Supernova's Sungjae.

Our 'no makeup' face is okay right? The members that look like twin sisters, Boram (left) and Qri (right). Exceptionally, the two members with big eyes are both 23 years old.

The 12th grade students are not battling with sleep. From practicing everyday, T-ara suffers from lack of sleep. Now they're so used to sleeping on the sofa or in the car, anywhere they go, they fall asleep easily. When there is no filming schedule, they are up at 10 AM until 2-3 AM in the morning preparing for their performance. The day they filmed their music video, they had to stay up late. Because of the late night music video shoot, sweetly sleeping while waiting for makeup, Qri. Hyomin with her chin rested on a towel, is trying to sleep peacefully with her eyes closed. While the rest of her members are shooting the music video, Boram is deep asleep. Sleeping in a line is Boram (left) and Hyomin (right).
