I love you Nicole. - Cole’s general comments “Did you eat?” - Then, Hara comes out and is there blankly... - We waited about 30 minutes. Then all five showed themselves. Before that, the staff told us to not to shout too loud. So, it was relatively quiet and really nice pre-taping show. Frankly, it used to be really loud on prior tapings. It was fun to not have audio overlap with the fan-shouts and Kara singing. - Cole was whining about her pimples. Fan shouted you are pretty even with pimples and Cole goes, “Yes? I am prettier than yesterday?” (she didn’t understand correctly) ㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇ (this symbol is fan showing people laughing) And Hots (Hammie) translating in the middle. “They said you are pretty even with pimples.” ㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇ - Seungyen unnie~ Seungyeon unnie~ Han Seunyeon~ She was just waving only even with the fans call outs, then finally... “What! What! Why you keep calling me!” This is how my woman is supposed to be, that’s right. (chic Hammie) - Gyuri was flapping her both hands and waving at the fans, and Cole waving and swaggering with one hand in her pocket while blocking Gyuri from the front. - Hammie whispering to Gyuri and smiling Gyuri’s Sailor Moon pose And finally hiding behind Hammie Unnie...you don’t have to be cute anymore... - For lunch, something like Vietnamese Wrapped Rice or something? Vietnamese Wrap---anyways... Gyuri eating lunch. I was so jealous...because you see, I was hungry ㅠㅠㅠ - Honestly, I had so much I wanted to say but you know how it is. Somehow, if you say cheer up or something...so I was wavering... The fans were also somewhat downcast that day but (we know why) Jjing says “Cheer up!” When I heard her say it my eyes misted and almost started crying but I was able to hold it back somehow. ㅠㅠㅠ (not literal but crying) we went to cheer them up but we got cheeredㅠㅠㅠ We are undeserving otaku (fans)ㅠㅠㅠ. - Gyuri was hugging Hara and but Gyuri’s hands are on Hara’s hip (ㅇ).../// (open mouth) Hara’s jumping up and down in her arms. (fan service) And when she gets away from Gyuri, Hammie playfully slaps Hara’s forehead. And Gyuri rubs Hara’s forehead. ?!?!?! - However, Today KARA really is giving us a lot more cheer and “fighting” to us than us to them. How derelict fans (otaku) we are ㅠㅠㅠ - I think they sang the song twice? The song kept cutting off in the middle... No matter, we saw them perform many times. Hot hot hot hot. - Ah, when they were rehearsing in the beginning All the doors of the members opened except Hammie’s. So, I thought, ah she is gonna shout then it’s going to open really cool then or something but it just didn’t openㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇ The girls just laugh and Hammie also laughs, the fans laugh and the staffs laugh. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAㅏㅏㅏㅏㅏㅏㅏㅏ - A fan shouts to Cole, unnie you are the prettiest...whatever that’s what the fan said. “That's a lie!” (direct translation) (but it could mean like "can't be true"-slightly different connotation) (Cole) ?!??!!??!?!! - I am sure there was more but can’t remember. Today was so great that I wished we could have recorded everything. ㅠㅠ Ah, there was this really cute thing from Gyuri unnie but.......................damn I can't remember it.ㅠㅠㅠ

Woah.. what a nice fanaccount and LOL @ Cori's "You lie!" XD Kamilia worry for Kara and Kara worry for Kamilia, we're indeed one. The girls know how sad we are because of what's happening and they do their best to cheer us up. Thank you babies! Comeback stages have all been so awesome, as expected. Seriously, it's so obvious that Kara is a senior group with a lot of experience on their backs as they've become so beautiful, confident and strong. I love watching their performances again and again and again.. can't wait for tomorrow too. And the next weeks to come actually ^^

The netizens are just over exaggerating and overreacting about it. I still wonder why my jiyoung cried? Perhaps moody.

Hara on KBS2 Full House [c] honeyhammie1 @YT

I have just watched their comeback on Music Bank and It was great. OK...Music Bank is my favorite music show at first...but that is not all...I found that KARA really did great on their live singing. Moreover I love their setting and outfits for 'Damaged Lady'...and 'Runaway was good as expected. I just wish it would have more fans to cheer for them lol.

@k0uki invite me if you open KARA Museum someday

KARA Reach 1 M views AND KARA REACHED 1,670,228 views on YinYueTai

“Damaged Lady”: The Return Of Kara The primary breadwinners of DSP Media are back after a yearlong hiatus. Taking a break from their Japanese promotions, Kara are back in their homeland with their fourth full length Korean album, Full Bloom. Prior to the album release and title track, they released “Runaway” which featured scenes from their upcoming Korean drama, Secret Love. Kara debuted in 2007 with “Break It,” a song and MV that are drastically different than their image now. The then four-membered group didn’t hit it big. We then saw Seung-hee leave due to her agreement with her parents that she would maintain her grades while being a member of Kara. She was replaced with Goo Hara and Ji-young, forming the lineup we now know. With their teaser for their comeback quite reminiscent of their debut era, it built excitement from old fans who missed the image of the girls back then. Aside from that, this is the time of the year that Kara usually has a comeback. This has been the case for “Step” as well as “Pandora.” Their status as a top tier group was started with their hit, “Mister,” which produced a dance craze similar to that of “Bar Bar Bar.” They avoided being put into a box and continued with the advancement of their sound in “Lupin” before heading off to Japan to try their success. Their success in Japan only stabilized their position in the top tier, sharing the spot with more well known groups — SNSD and 2NE1. In addition to this seeming callback to their debut era, and given how good the reception for “Pandora” was in Korea last year — with the song having stolen a win during Psy‘s 10 week winning streak on Music Bank – there was a lot of excitement for this comeback. Their lead track is “Damaged Lady” which was teased weeks prior to the official release on September 2nd. Sprinkled throughout the MV are plot shots, solo shots and dance shots, all of which are tied in by one theme — getting back at a cheating ex. For the dance shots, they wore suits. The attitude they have in their movements is highlighted by the clothes they wore, making it a smart move on the stylist’s part. Especially lovely on them was the set of clothes they wore with the black background and white pillars. It was both feminine and masculine and they seemed most in their element dance-wise there. As for the dance, it seemed quite lacking, though this may be because we have not seen the whole dance in the MV. From what we see, it also seems quite awkward, especially that butt rub move at 2:18. Where the ladies truly shine are during the solo shots. Some were composed of them wearing the same clothes as the group dance shots, and at the same location of their dance shots. What really stood out were the takes of the ladies sitting on their thrones. They looked magnificent and regal and they carried the same air of confidence as well. The clothes they wore complemented each member and only added to the impression of each member through the whole finished product. Taking in the plot of the MV, it really did nothing to enhance the overall impact at first watch. I wish they had instead gone for the route they went with “Pandora.” They shined in their solo shots and it’s a pity the impact from that was not carried over to the lacking and boring plot line.(I agree to this one) Despite this, the ladies truly carry the song with their portrayal of the girl scorned and their determination to be empowered on their own. Instead of going the childish ‘stalk him’ route that other groups have done, they instead do something straight up. Donned in suits, they show their exes what they are missing all while shoving them, dumping wine on their heads, pushing a pastry in their face and firing away some sort of smoke at them. Unlike some MVs where the girl lets the guy back in the end, Kara further moves away from their ex-significant other. This is further shown in a move in the chorus where the girls seemingly take off a couple ring and throw it in the air, signifying the end of a relationship. They do not want him back in any way because they don’t need him in the first place. As for the song, it lacked the climax we get from “Pandora” and the catchiness from their previous singles such as “Lupin” and “Mister.” Surprisingly, Goo Hara has more lines than usual, so it will be something to see if she can carry those lines on stage. In addition, the song was less cluttered and this may be an indication of Kara further improving their sound to move away from the common songs that rely on catchy hooks and revert back to their sound from 2007. In many ways, this song is a sign of a maturing Kara. From the flow between the segments of the song, the guitar riffs and the underlying beat, it is a far cry from Kara songs of the past. It played more to their strengths and highlighted them. As with most Kara MVs, they are fashionably dressed, all while maintaining the theme of the MV and song. The girly dresses they wore on their date was reminiscent of the style of dress they wore during “Honey” and “Pretty Girl.” The transition to these suits may come to mean that this is Kara shedding their old, safe image. While they seemingly will maintain their girl next door charm, they are maturing. Despite any complaints with the song, it is an evolution of their sound and for all intent, it is the group heading in the right direction. Something that Kara really needs to be commended for is the energy they bring to this MV. It would have been stale if not for the attitude of the members. They certainly carried the MV and brought it to life. For a comeback after a year, this Kara release was rather flat. Nonetheless, there were still elements that worked — their solo shots are a particular shiner in the MV. For those who expected Kara to come back in a style similar to their debut song, “Break It” due to the teaser pics, it is not. The MV gets 3.25/5. @soulbeat http://seoulbeats.co...dy-return-kara/

Hi~ I'm Kamilia from Malaysia~ I'm actually a new Kamilia(become a Kamilia last year, 2012).. However,I had watch "Heroes" since 2011 and started to love Nicole but i have no idea about KARA that time.. After a few month i "followed" Nicole, i knew about a team called "KARA" and first i don't really like them except Nicole.. but in a show "Invisible Youth", i knew Hara better and "invisible Youth 2" made me love Jing too.. Gyuri had made me love her in SGB especially "20 years old beautiful girl=GYURI" while SeungYeon made me touched in "StrongHeart" about what she had do to make KARA famous(I cried at that part..think that they shouldn't be treated like that, they deserve a better condition..) So, I started to watch their video(from 2007-2012) and i found out that they had changed.. From a boyish image KARA4 to cute image KARA5 , and now they are more mature now.. Then, i knew the news about they were going to break up as a group.. i searched the news and knew that they are still present as a group now and i knew the reasons why they were having a problem with company.. My heart broke since i saw the news and started to get myself to be a KAMILIA to protect them.. I registered at Karaholic to be a real Kamilia that always support them.. So, i support and respect JunHara whatever decision they made as long as they were happy and not regret with their own decision and life, but now there was a news came out(i suppose all of you know that), my heart sink since i saw that, i almost cry and curse the reporter.. But i calm down after awhile and think that that are their life, we shouldn't be so selfish about hoping them to be together forever but they ain't loving each other.. Huuh, calm down for awhile and i think we should think about how to make Hara and KARA happy..(stop talking about the bad things, i should talk about the reasons why i love KARA)Why I love KARA?? I'm not really sure about but i think it's because of they are different from other girl groups.. In my opinion, they are more hardworking than others(although others are hardworking too), they had gone though more difficulties than others and they knew the ways to solve all the difficulties , they respect everyone(not like other groups that are famous in a few month and start to be proud and rude), they are great senior, they have their own charm, they are great dancer and singer, they are qualified to be love by Kamilia, they have the privilege to be love by us.. and so that is why i love KARA.. IN KARA WE TRUST AND LOVE

Congraduations to the all of them!!! for seungyeon , i agree with that>. she will not really rely her boyfriend or husband~
