On June 15 and 16, T-ara’s Jiyeon took to her social media accounts to share several playful and radiant photos from her 32nd birthday party, held in Kuala Lumpur. Clad in a sash that proudly read “Birthday Queen,” the actress and singer struck joyful poses, wearing chic sunglasses and flashing her signature “cheek heart” gesture.
A standout moment came from a group photo where Jiyeon and her friends posed with matching arm tattoos, symbolizing their tight friendship and shared sense of individuality. This tattoo moment echoed her earlier update on June 5, when she revealed a new floral tattoo—a design that further showcases her evolving, expressive style.
Born in 1993, Jiyeon debuted with T-ara in 2009, achieving massive fame with K-pop staples like “Roly-Poly” and “Bo Peep Bo Peep”. In recent years, she has also solidified her presence in the acting world.
Her personal life has seen significant changes as well. Jiyeon married professional baseball player Hwang Jae-gyun in December 2022. However, the pair amicably ended their marriage in November 2024.
From a trailblazing idol to a confident woman celebrating life on her own terms, Jiyeon’s birthday in Malaysia is more than just a party, it’s a statement of self-love, transformation, and unshakable friendship.
