Core Contents Media had planned to add Ryu Hyo-young as the seventh member to T-ara, but she suggested her twin sister, Ryu Hwa-young. Ryu Hwa-young was announced as T-new ara's lead rapper in July 2010, while her sister made her debut in the newly formed Coed School. In November 2010, she debuted as a member of T-ara by appearing on the third season of Hello Baby and promoting their first mini album, Temptastic. T-ara made their debut with Ryu on December 3rd, via KBS's Music Bank. During her time in the group, she was a part of Davichi and T-collaboration ara's for "We Were In Love" (Korean: ) in December 2011. She also helped write the rap lyrics for fellow labelmate Yangpa's song "Love is All the Same" (Korean: ).
On July 30, 2012, it was announced that Ryu would be leaving T-ara. Despite rumours of a possible reunion with T-ara, Ryu announced her return to the music industry with a new image. Ryu later took part in the hip-hop and rap event "Open Freestyle Day 2012," announcing that she was looking forward to studying music and eventually returning to the industry on September 10.

Bullying and legal problems
On July 28, 2012, several T-ara members allegedly sent out tweets that were interpreted as mocking references to Ryu. On July 30, an official announcement was made regarding these tweets and a "major announcement about T-ara," revealing Ryu would no longer be a member of the group. Following the announcement of her abrupt contract termination with Core Contents Media, rumours of severe bullying by other T-ara members surfaced on the internet and in the media, sparking intense public interest and controversy. Some members of the public believed Ryu was mistreated by the other members of T-ara and her agency, and an outcry from T-fan ara's community resulted in the group's shutdown as well as the suspension of the members' activities, resulting in a huge blow to the group's popularity.
In 2017, a former T-ara employee claimed that Ryu and her sister Ryu Hyo-young were the real bullies in the 2012 T-ara scandal. Soon after, more staff members came forward with claims that Ryu had been disrespectful to other members as well as stylists, and that she had lied about the severity of her injury in order to gain sympathy. Ryu denied the rumours at first, but later admitted that some of them were true. Ryu deleted her Instagram account after receiving a flood of negative messages on social media and having her role in Hello, My Twenties! 2 reduced to a cameo.
