Jeon Won Diary (전원일기) is the first extended play (EP) by South Korean girl group T-ara N4, a sub-unit of T-ara, released on April 29, 2013. It was promoted by the song of the same name.

Background and composition

In late March 2013, T-ara's agency Core Contents Media were in the midst of forming a new unit from the group with the members Eunjung, Areum, Jiyeon and Hyomin. The group previously tried sub-units with the release of their sixth Japanese single "Bunny Style!", in which the B-sides were sung by units of two and three members; however this will be their first time doing formal unit activities.[1]

The title track, "Jeon Won Diary" (전원일기 Jeon-won Ilgi), was inspired by the 1980s South Korean drama of the same name.[2] Produced by Duble Sidekick, the song is said to have "funky and intense" dance music combined with elements of hip-hop,[3] with the main motif of "Jeon Won Diary" being about breaking away from the same everyday routine.[2] Another version of the song, with traditional harmonies and instruments, was arranged by Hwang Ho-jun.[2]

Promotion and release

T-ara N4 released a variety of picture and video teasers from April 10, 2013, to April 26, 2013, starting with a photo of member Jiyeon.[4] The first video teaser for "Jeon Won Diary" was released onto YouTube, GomTV and other video-sharing websites on April 15, 2013.[5]
