T-ara’s Jiyeon reveals her collarbone

T-ara’s maknae Jiyeon recently uploaded a picture on her Twitter with the comment, “lululala – koong koong“.

Although her tweet was totally nonsensical, it hardly seemed to matter because the picture she uploaded was stunning. Jiyeon’s dark eyeliner, sophisticated coif, and her elegant off-the-shoulder top elevated her to the status of ‘goddess’.

Because Koreans seem to value sharp collarbones particularly highly, Jiyeon’s exposed collarbone and fair skin drew comments from netizens like, “Jiyeon is a collarbone beauty“, “Boldly exposed skin“, and “Jiyeon is totally pretty“.

What do you think? Are you a part of the collarbone club, or do you find it this beauty standard strange? Toss us your thoughts below!

Jiyeon, however, revealed that no one in her family knows about her escape – raising curiosity from listeners.

She stated, “During middle school, I decided to run away, so I quietly left my house. However, 30 minutes after I left, I got a text message saying that my older brother ran away too. I was so surprised that I forgot the fact that I ran away and I immediately called my parents. Then I helped my parents look for my brother,” causing much laughter in the studio.

Jiyeon's honest confession, "Thanks to my brother, my parents didn't find out"!

On MBC's "Bouquet" recent episode aimed toward family, there was a question asked 'if you've ever ran away from home during school,' in which Jiyeon's response shocked the audience. But only Jiyeon knew she she had ran away, not even her family knew.

Jiyeon explained during her middle school years, she decided to quietly run away from her home. However, 30 minutes after leaving home she received a call from her parents about her brother. Her brother tried to run away at the same time. Jiyeon, surprised and unaware her brother was going to run away from home, joined with her parents immediately to help find her brother.

Thanks to her runaway brother, her "runaway attempt event" was quietly buried. The full story can be heard on Sunday, April 3 on the MBC Family variety, "Bouquet".
