I'm going off topic here a bit, but I agree with this completely. In Japan they have lots of female fans which is why they have lots of endorsements, but in Korea, they lack female fans and it shows with endorsements. Female fans are important because they invest more emotionally and an emotional investment is what causes fan-girls to defend their favorite idols to death and support every thing they do; once you've got a solid female fan-base, you can basically do whatever and be fine. Female fans are important because if they are die-hard stans, when you endorse something, they will buy it. SNSD has lots of endorsements because they have a lot of female fans. Lots of girls will buy the things they endorse because guys like them and girls want to look like the girls that guys like. Relying on "uncle" fans is hard; sure they spend tons of money but they don't invoke the same "fandom" spirit that younger fans can and it often makes it seem like KARA has a weaker or smaller fan-base; KARA doesn't do great in online polls and they don't get mentioned a whole lot in forums either. It's just that "uncle" fans don't have time to really be fans of idols, they have jobs and families. Perfect example is Kim Hee Sun and her husband. He's an uncle fan of KARA but he also has a busy job as a surgeon and I'm sure he doesn't troll the internet defending KARA in online forums and voting on online polls. Guy's like KARA but it doesn't illicit the same "copy-KARA" reaction as it does with SNSD. I think it also has to do with the age of fans who support KARA. Lots of male (and female) idols vocally support SNSD, and thats the age-range/ideal guy that girls that age are going for. KARA doesn't have many vocal male idol supporters. They have a lot of vocal "uncle" supporters but idol fangirls don't want "uncle" boyfriends. They want Taecyeon, Nichkhun, Minho and such. KARA is known as a very attractive group though and I think criticism tends to over-flow for them. Though netizens accuse groups like SNSD and T-ara for relying on appearances, they definitely consider KARA a group with ONLY appearance to offer. It's whatever though. Anyways, I'm way excited about the 4th album. I hope it's similar to break-it. I'm glad KARA went back to the covered up side. Kamilia seem to be the only fandom that don't really like when our girls wear "daring" outfits. But KARA doesn't need skin to win! They did it with Lupin and Break-It so I'm more than certain they can do it again.

^ HERE

That's exactly what I will do^^ been taking singing lessons for three years (this will be my fourth year) and... well, fighting! And yes, Hammie is such a sweetheart<3 The way she smiles just makes me so much happier. I'm glad she exists. She's made so many of my bad days so much better.

Yesss!! Seungyeona is really very cute & lovable, & any friendly person with nice heart will fall for her beautiful smile. & yes, "Erinacchi", if you want to become like Seungyeona, then you can. All you need to do is to practice & work harder. Keep going! Fighting!!

I'm a very poor student, so I don't have much merchandise. I've got three albums and that's it, but it's a start^^ So, the albums I have are: - KARA BEST 2007-2010 - Revolution - PANDORA Planning on purchasing Lupin, Super Girl and Solo Collection next.

I know im a bit late to express how happy iam for my angel's come back and thyey're going on a masculine look,its a big WOW!i just love how KARA pull themselves away with all the other girl groups concepts now a days being sexy and showing some flesh.....don't get me wrong I don't have anything against girl groups showing some body parts because KARA had done it also in their PANDORA era,those sexy backs and their shorts were really SHORT but then having the guts to pull away with whats seems the "IN" CONCEPTS of nowadays was really DAEBAk!!!!!!a woman being a little bit boyish/masculine is way more SEXY and HOTTER to me,(me being a woman is saying this:)KARA will prove them that being sexy and hot is not to show off something but to be able to pull off bravely a new sight in the eyes......cant wait to see them performed the fived of them but can't really wait to see how my HARASSI will do being the the no.1IDEAL WOMAN:)))))))

Here's another one by the same person as my last post.

Couple? suspicious? what if it is true? ... ... no, i don't want to know the answer.

im going to start my research on karaaaa

Really really nice tread, didn´t know much about all this things happened

thank you for this topic i really learnt a lot about them from reading it ^.^ .. i hope this fandom will grow stronger and bigger

Though I only became part of the KARA fanbase since March 2013, I came to like both the old and new KARA.

She got married and I think she gives singing lessons. Perfectly said.

missing the old kara doesn't mean that you automatically HATE the new kara, or have to hate them

Saw this on another forum and thought it was cool. lol cr. jun.na
