History

Pre-debut

Prior to debuting, Tahiti launched a sitcom-style reality program called 'Ta-dah! It's TAHITI' with their original line-up. The show was picked up by television stations in South Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Singapore.

Following the ending of 'Ta-dah! It's TAHITI', it was announced that Ari and Hanhee left the group and would be replaced by Ye Eun and Dasom.

2012: Debut, line-up changes, Hasta Leugo & Pretty Face

Only July 23, 2012, Tahiti released their debut single "Tonight".[1] Promotions for the single began on July 25, 2012, on Show Champion.

In October, Tahiti unveiled teaser videos and images of their upcoming single "Hasta Luego", which revealed Ye Eun, Dasom, and EJ were no longer with the group. The three members were replaced with Ari, Jinhee, and Miso.

On October 31, 2012, the group released the single "Hasta Leugo",[2] which was followed up with the release of "Pretty Face" on December 2, 2012.[3]

2013: Overseas activities & Five Beats Of Hearts

On January 19, 2013, Tahiti performed at the SM Mall of Asia Open Grounds in the Philippines, where they performed with Girls' Generation, Exo, U-KISS, Infinite and Tasty. This concert marked Tahiti's first time performing overseas.[4]

On March 11, 2013, Tahiti released the OST track "Don't Know, Don't Know" for the South Korean television series You're the Best, Lee Soon-shin,[5] where they also made a cameo appearance.[6]

Only July 23, 2013, Tahiti celebrated their one-year anniversary and upcoming mini-album release by holding a showcase.[7] The group released their first mini-album, Five Beats of Hearts, with the accompanying music video to "Love Sick", on July 25, 2013.[8] Jin did not participate in the music video or live performances of "Love Sick" due to the sexual nature of concept.

2014: Line-up changes & Oppa, You're Mine

Dream Star Entertainment announced on June 4, 2014, that Jungbin would not be participating in Tahiti's upcoming promotions due to health issues. The company did not confirm if her absence will be temporary or permanent.[9]

On June 10, 2014, Tahiti announced the release of their fourth single "Oppa, You're Mine" through a music video teaser. The teaser showcased a new member to the group, Jerry.[10] The music video was released the following day.

Jin was not featured in the promotional material, music video, or single, of "Oppa, You're Mine". Her absence was not officially acknowledged by the group or their company.

2015: Fall Into Temptation & Japanese debut

On January 4, 2015, Tahiti announced the release of the second mini album "Fall Into Temptation" through a teaser clip. [11] Jungbin and Jin again did not participate in the comeback, and their official Twitters have not been updated in months, thus it can be safely presumed that they have left the group. On March 12th, Tahiti released their first mini album in Japan [12]
