Arrived! ^__^

Japanese Cute Kara are finally going back to Korean Sexy Kara. (Yes, because even if they look badass, they still look sexy). However, as someone said, the Korean stages changed since Pandora. The rockies are on demand and fearsless. SISTAR has been really smashing all their competion. But they just ended their promotions. Ailee will be out by then, too. Who is coming back in September? Either way, Kara has a good, big fandom on Korea, don't they? And I bet the older Kamilias are happy for their look (similar as Kara4). They are going to show that they can pull this look out. However, why are they releasing so much in so little time? I'm worried about their health T_T

KARA will appear on Nippon TV music program "Live Monster" which will be broadcasted on August the 11th. To welcome them this time, Monster will give the highest performance that cannot be seen anywhere else; only live. The performance of the popular song "Mister." and single "Thank You Summer Love" to be included new album which will be release on the 28th this month in "FANTASTIC GIRLS". KARA will appear with "Bye Bye Happy Days!" In addition, the guest, Kendo Kobayashi who is also a fan of the girls introduce secret scenic spot such as Roppongi Hills and Tokyo Sky Tree <scenic tours No. 1 in Tokyo>. It will be aired on 23:30 as usual. ★ News New album of KARA, "FANTASTIC GIRLS" is here (check on the original article for link) ★ News of ticket pre-sale of the Saitama Super Arena concert and Yokohama Arena performance of KARA is here (check on the original article for link) <JAPAN TV "LIVE MONSTER" broadcasting time on 11th August> Live Guest : KARA Set list : 1.

KARA resumes their activities with a 4th album. DSP Entertainment has revealed on the 12th that “[KARA] will be starting their activities in Korea again in the early next month.” Since the release of the mini-album Pandora from August of last year, it’s been 1 year and 1 month since they’ve produced a Korean album. Last studio album was Step from September 2011, which is 2 years ago. From last album, Jiyoung received a lot of attention since she’s no longer a minor but returned with a sexy concept. At the time, KARA took the stage with a deep cut in the back of their outfit with a sexy choreography. This time, it’s opposite from their last concept. The company said, “They are attempting to show a boyish character.” On the 12th, they revealed an album photo of the KARA members in guy’s suits as the first teaser. KARA has been performing in Japan. Source: http://sports.khan.co.kr/news/sk_index.html?cat=view&art_id=201308122129416&sec_id=540301&pt=nv Translation by: sarah k @ karaholic

People are stupid to jump to assumptions of plastic surgery because of certain photos. They never consider the lighting, the angle, the bloated-ness that day, etc. And to compare baby pictures to adult pictures doesn't always work either. Some people change 180 when they get older, doesn't always mean it's because of surgery. My Sister in-law looks nothing like she does when she was a child.

When did Seungyeona tweeted that drawing? Are you sure it is from our Han Seungyeon?

She hardly change much from her child photo with that tiny ribbon! The pic is so spot on edr! This vampire is moving the clock back and forth like a boss. EDIT: Lol I noticed that boss pic after writing. One moment she young the next mature and older. She have no problem being in a kids drama. Haha. As for the k-netizen, they should just drop the hate. What do they hope to achieve with that? Having a sharper jawline means you are losing weight! Not surgery! Even if someone do surgery, what gives them the right to scorn and hate? Even if someone does surgery they do not deserve that.

I was a fan of Dong Yi before I watch JOJ but I don't even hate the New Dong Yi (because of Hammie kekeke... ) Honestly I fell in love with Hammie again from JOJ I'm a J-POP fan who isn't into K-POP that much I knew her and like her for a while but didn't fangirl to her as much as now After watching JOJ.... I really like her more and more and became to 'Kamilia'

They have amazing stuff. But control yourself, or else you will go crazy and buy so much random stuff. Like me, LOL.

AHHH i completely died when i saw the picture! Kara oppas best concept ever!!! Them on suits... oh my goshhhh!!! Seungyeon oppa totally handsome!! hahaha. I think Nicole and Seungyeon are the ones who look more manly Plus, finally korean comeback with full album... i couldn't help spazzing a lot!! i'm soooo excited!

i read a lot of comments of koreans disliking this drama so much because Ok Jung is actually seen as a "bad woman" in Korea, so i guess the fictional part made it worse haha. I didn't know they changed the script a lot though. To me, i think it was great, so i'm still really glad i actually didn't know anything about Jang Ok Jung before i watched this drama, because it gave me the opportunity to see this character with an open mind

i watched this drama only for Seungyeon... and i'm kinda disappointed she didn't have as much scenes as i expected. Anyways, i'm glad i watched it because of Seungyeon because i actually really liked it, though she didn't appear that much; i didn't even know who Ok Jung was, so thanks to this drama i got to search on the internet about her and it got me to know a little of Korea's history. Too bad it didn't have much rating on Korea :/

Once again another surprise "attack" by DSP with this sudden release of the teaser image. Regarding the sudden onslaught of releases from them in Japan and Korea basically simultaneously, remember they are touring in October, the more releases, the more new material, more and better performances we get. New and fresh music to perform and enjoy to. It might seem like a lot for us and especially the girls, but I think they want it so they can put on a new and fresh concert for the fans. It's all worth it in the end.

KARASIA 2013 Fukui stop (9th & 10th Nov) has been sold out. It's a small stadium (6000 audience) but since Fukui's population is also quite small < 800K, there were concerns about selling out tickets here. In the end it was the 1st to sell out heh. shared by aje

Unconfirmed reports believe Sept 12th

Omg, I really can't wait for this. But, they released it so early. ; ; I am just going to sit here and cry over how perfect KARA is. Oh, and is there like a (rumored) date that they're going to have their comeback? I want it already. ; ;

Wow. I totally didn't notice until you pointed it out. They look exactly the same.

LOL hehehe CUTE hammie

Ok, Can I start scream now? ok. OH MY GYURI IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING?????? I'M WAITING FOR THIS SINCE I'M A KAMILIA (maybe last year in october) I DON'T KNOW WHAT I SHOULD FEEL OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG THEY ARE REALLY PRETTY, LOOK AT GYURI AND NICOLE! AND MY ULTIMATE, KOO HARA???? OH NO... AND SEUNGYEON AND JIYOUNG???? I CAN'T WRITE WHAT I'M FEELING RIGHT NOW LOL sorry for the caps lock KARA FIGHTING! I just can't wait!!!!!!

Kara is Kara, cute, sexy, badass, it doesn't matter, together they're always amazing. As for the many many releases I suspect DSP and UMJ are going to try to milk them like no tomorrow before their contracts all expire even if they're going to resign.

i'm supposed to do my projects due tomorrow but i can't since kara's perfection is too much they all look soooooo beautiful in those suits!! i mean how.....

Woot Colored

Hammie Oppa?! But I am Hammie Oppa!! She is Hammish Boyish version of Hammie Seungyeona!! As for the good news, that sounds cooooool!! I will be looking forward to their up-coming Comeback in September.

Especially with that pose haha! xD It's a nice concept though, really classy!

Nicole really looks like a boy,, for all the girls Nicole is much more masculine looking then nxt is Gyuri

Their solo songs... haha. But to be more creative: 1. Gyuri: PANDORA. Same reasoning as you, flamestalker. It's a very mature-sounding piece that screams sophistication, which perfectly fits Gyuri's image. Whenever I hear the song, I think of Gyuri. 2. Jiyoung: I think of cheerful, bubbly songs when I think Jiyoung. (guess that's a mutual thing!) She is the baby of the group haha, so I like to choose their early Korean songs in 08-ish that had the "cute concept". Pretty Girl comes to mind because in the video she's the one doing the duck noises and it's so weirdly cute... It's, it's Jiyoung. (though her solo song is a completely different mood haha) 3. Hara: Jet Coaster Love, but not just cause they say "hara" in the lyrics... Okay, maybe it's just that. It's a cute, sweet concept and it matches Hara very well... And uh... the lyrics When she's rubbing her tummy. So cute! 4. Nicole: Either Break It or If U Wanna. She has a lot of presence in those songs, because she has a lot of verses and rap sections that I feel really embody what she does in the group (rapper) and herself. She's a little more wild, a little more crazy, but really down to earth. And those songs sound pretty mature but cutesy at the same time. 5. Seungyeon: Winter Magic. May same like a weird choice, but her voice is really distinct and it shines for sure in this song. Despite it being a winter song, it brings warmth and Seungyeon is one of those people who is just... heartwarming to watch. It just might be her wonderfully expressive personality, or the fact that she probably has the most beautiful smile I've ever seen, but it's a warm feeling.

Well, the fonts are a bit different for sure. Same style but detailed differently. Same with the outfits - not QUITE the same. But hey, I wouldn't just label it off as laziness. A lot of similarities could mean a return to an older stlye - AKA 2007-2009-ish early era (granted 2007 was the most radically different). Could harken back to the old days, maybe it's just trying to bring in older fans who were interested back then? Could be a lot of reasons but I'd say too early to say laziness.

Lol, Jing could be my man anytime~ <3 Girl or not, she's still Jing! Hehehehe XoX

"Yo,Yo........Come on, Come on........" First impression when I got to know this news, and the teaser image... After being so long times, finally KARA is going to comeback to us!!! This time of Comeback is really surprising and refreshing, let us flashback to past time, one and one of KARA's album were going to shake the music world, all of them were awesome and impressive, whether the style or rhythm each time was different, but KARA can always perform their best on the stage with their most power and energy......... KARA is the best!!! Let's looking forward to this comeback!!! "Yo...... we're back!.........."

I'm in!!... Just glad no more revealing outfit... Really anticipating this year comeback

and WHO said WHO"s PRETTIER in ?
