“From T-ara’s trailblazing leader to Pomellato’s radiant bride—Eunjung redefines forever in Marie Claire’s February 2026 stunner.”
Eunjung’s Timeless Return
Hahm Eunjung, T-ara’s first leader, commands the Marie Claire Weddings February 2026 cover in a collaboration with Italian luxury jeweler Pomellato. This pictorial drops just months after her November 30, 2025, wedding to director Kim Byung-woo, marking a creative pivot from K-pop stages to bridal icon status. Fans buzz over her ethereal white gowns and dopamine-pink accents, evoking T-ara’s “Lovey-Dovey” era glamour.
The shoot’s creative direction leans into “Weddings Dopamine”—vibrant, joyful luxury that mirrors Eunjung’s post-marriage bloom. Subtle nods to her career pepper the spreads: braided updos recall her 2010 “Time, Please Stop” MV, while off-shoulder silhouettes echo her Coffee House drama looks. At 33, she embodies resilience, having led T-ara through hits like “Bo Peep Bo Peep” since 2009.

Wedding Milestones Meet High Fashion
Eunjung’s real-life nuptials set the stage for this editorial triumph. Married in a private Seoul ceremony, she sang Lee Sun-hee’s “Meeting You Among Them” through tears, with T-ara sisters Qri, Hyomin, Jiyeon, and Boram cheering her down the aisle—Soyeon absent from Dubai. Attendees like Ha Jung-woo (from hubby Kim’s The Terror Live) added star power.
This Marie Claire feature cements her milestone: post-mom’s passing, she vowed a “bright, warm family,” now visualized in Pomellato’s colorful gems against minimalist veils. The February timing aligns with Lunar New Year vibes, amplifying her “pure grace” narrative from November wedding pics. It’s no accident—Eunjung’s agency timed it for global K-pop fandoms craving her next chapter.
“Pomellato’s gems aren’t just jewels; they’re Eunjung’s love story etched in color—post-wedding perfection.”
Creative leads at Marie Claire Weddings optimized for digital scrolls: close-ups of Pomellato’s textured gold on her collarbone, wide shots of A-line gowns flowing like T-ara choreography. SEO-savvy captions like “Dopamine Bride” hook searches, blending her acting chops (White: Melody of Death, 2010) with bridal fantasy.
T-ara Legacy in Bridal Lights
As T-ara’s acting powerhouse—alongside Jiyeon and Hyomin—Eunjung transitioned from leader (2009-2010) to solo force. This pictorial nods her roots: voluminous skirts mimic “Roly-Poly” energy, while serene gazes channel her judge role at 2024’s Geumcheon Fashion Film Festival. Post-hiatus, T-ara reunions at her wedding fuel comeback whispers.
Pomellato’s direction emphasizes empowerment—unconventional cuts, bold hues defying traditional white. Eunjung’s smile, shy yet fierce, mirrors her Instagram wedding drops: mermaid dresses, bouquet clutches, fiancé’s ring moment. It’s a masterclass in repurposing personal joy for public inspiration, with Reddit’s r/kpop upvoting the reveal 33+ times.
