This is a translation of a post done by a KKamilia. Her Naver Blog is called "Infinite-dol and Growth-dol (Kara)" She is a fan of both Infinite and Kara. She knows a lot about fandom stuff. Here is the link to the post: http://blog.naver.com/bmy12345/194687267 Here is the screen shot of the post (the blog is right-click disabled). (she posted on 9/7/2013) My translation is below the image. She is mostly talking to the Elves, who are going bat nut over this Kyuhun thing. Translation begins: I’ve been feeling really awful since last night. I am writing this because I was just going to ignore it at first but felt I had to clear the misunderstanding. Please watch the video clip that is causing the problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKK6d2ffqGc Some people are saying that at the 4 minute mark Seungyeon is saying let’s got out, how unlucky, and how annoying and such. (In Korea, to say they are unlucky and how annoying in front of the senior is reallllly rude. Although, to say unlucky is the same [same words] in Korean, it’s the connotation and situation that matters and to say it in front of them in this situation would be like a total rudeness, including ‘how annoying’.) I’ve listened to it over and over but I don’t hear it. I don’t hear her saying ‘unlucky’ but I hear let’s go out and clean your face. And I can’t understand where you are hearing ‘how annoying’. I agree that KARA may have made a mistake on RS but the way people are accusing them as if Kara committed a murder or something is totally out of line. It is absolutely unbecoming. And they even issued an apology but you guys keep at it. They are sorry but I think the Elves with no right mind are much worse. I was not going to say this, but I’ve decided to write this after a much thought. I have an acquaintance who works as a staff on the show Radio Star. When I was talking to the staff, subject of Kara incident came up. Per the staff, this is not Kyuhyun’s fault and much of this incident’s fault lies with the show staffs. The staff stated, DSP refused many times when we were trying to get them on the show RS because they knew that the obvious dating issue of Hara would be brought up. However, RS promised that they would not bring up the dating rumors, and DSP said that they will have KARA on the show but you must promise not to bring up the dating issue. And during the pre-taping interviews, the Kara member insisted many times NOT to talk about the dating rumors. The staffs indicated that they understood but during the actual taping, they talked about the dating story/rumor for almost 40 minutes. The members just acted cool about it when it first came up, but the members became much more flustered and panicked when the dating rumor talks got more intense and pointed, and it lasted and lasted. Therefore, the emotions of all came at once and they started crying. And, Hara did not throw the water bottle but it was rolled. What Seungyeon said about ‘we hear the stories as well’ is NOT what that they hear stories of SuJu dating rumors at all, but that Kara members also hear the mean comments and dating rumor related stories about Hara. Furthermore, about Jiyoung, Jiyoung cried due to many other reasons. After sudden breakdown of Hara, it was an extremely awkward moment considering the atmosphere when they asked her to do Aegyo. Plus Jiyoung got flustered when they all of sudden asked her to do aegyo when they were talking Hara’s rumors. And, it seems to be edited out but Kim, Gura pressured Jiyoung with scary and harsher speech. Jiyoung got upset and emotional because she got flustered at the moment. It was first for her to see him act angry way (somewhat). But, most important thing is that after that incident, she apologize on the show and even after the show she apologized again to all the MC’s. I don’t understand why people are all after Jiyoung when she even apologized on the show. Furthermore, I was told by my staff friend that after the taping and once the show was broadcasted, one of the staffs of RS and Kyuhyun were exchanging some texts. That is, my friend’s colleague was sending texts to Kyuhyun and while exchanging some words, the issue of Kara’s attitude on the show. Kyuhyun said that he watched the broadcast as well. He also felt that the viewers may have felt somewhat disappointed and annoyed; however, from his point of view, Kara is one of the most respecting and polite idols out there. And he also accepted the incident as a joke and all but he is feeling quite frustrated and concerned that the hoobaes that he cares about are getting this kind of hate for just one incident. He said that he felt multiple instances to write about (on SNS) how KARA girls are the most polite and nice girls but felt that that might cause more problems for the girls. So, he decided not to write it. The girls are so polite that they would bring drinks to their seniors in waiting rooms, concerned that they might be thirsty, so even all of SuJu members are flustered with this situation. Plus, on the day when this whole issue blew up, Sungyeon and Jiyoung called him again to apologize; however, when he sees this situation, he is quite worried that KARA might become afraid of variety shows in the future. *My acquaintance staff asked the other colleagues what did Seungyeon say when she was comforting Hara after she cried. They indicated Seungyoen said, “let’s go out, go clean up your face”. And she was going to turn around and ask the show staffs nearby to ask if it was okay to go to the restroom but one of the staffs brought some tissue papers. So, they didn’t go to the restroom. This is all I heard from the staff. I admit that KARA made some mistakes on the show. They will have to reflect on it. However, I think it is totally wrong to criticize the girls as if they committed a murder or something. People make mistakes. Idols are people so they also make mistakes. Didn’t Shindong even praise Jiyoung the last time? No, when you see how KARA treats their fans, they did not forget their early days. Why would an idol group that forgets their early days hand out a pack of Dunkin Donuts to each of several hundred people, buy ice cream, give lunch packs? It could be that their conditions were not the most optimal that day. But most of all, I don’t feel that they deserve to be getting so much hate like this when they all apologized toward the end of the show. As I stated above, Seungyeon apologized to Kyuhyun, and even Nicole and Gyuri took up responsibility and apologized as well. As a fan of Kara, I feel awful to be witnessing them this kind treatment as if they are impolite girls when they are the nicest ones. It is appreciative to point out someone’s mistake; however, if too much, it can become poison. If you all act so emotional wouldn’t the SuJu members feel worse when all of SuJu members think of Kara as very good hoobaes? Both Yoon, Jong-shin and Kim, Tae-hee PD said the taping was finished well. It is totally unnecessary to send this kind of overwhelming criticisms like this. Thank you for hearing what I had to say.

that's ok....but let see what's the result today hehe since its more important today's result KARA reveals they feel more carefree because of their boyish concept and more on 'Entertainment Relay' KARA revealed that donning a boyish concept makes them feel more carefree like most boys. 'Entertainment Relay' met with KARA before their showcase and the girls opened up about their boyish concept this time around. Gyuri shared, "As you can see, we are wearing a manish concept. The concept of 'Damaged Lady' has a manish concept... If we wear clothes like this, our poses become more carefree. I think we should be careful not to do that." The reporter also commented that all of the members got paired up with handsome actors for 'Secret Love' except Nicole to which she defended her partner Lee Kwang Soo, sharing, "[Lee Kwang Soo] oppa has charms. Among the male celebrities that I've met so far, he is in the top 3 of the ones who are most kind and have good manners." When asked, "These days, Jiyoung is getting prettier now that she is in her twenties. In the unnis' eyes, was Jiyoung prettier when she was younger or is she prettier now?" Nicole answered, "Now." But Gyuri disagreed as she explained, "I think she was prettier when she was younger. When she was younger, she seemed like a baby." The reporter also asked, "You must get a lot of stress when you promote. It seems you each have your own ways of relieving that stress." Nicole replied, "Yes, of course. I just meet with my friends and eat all night." Leader Gyuri hinted that eating isn't the only thing she does adding, "Do you only eat all night?", and demonstrated how Nicole drinks all night. Catch up with the girls in the fun interview above. @allkpop

This is the cut where all those haters are calling Hammie as rude. However, listen to this. I dare them to say otherwise. Source: beautiful mirinae @karaboard.

According to a September 9 announcement by their agency, KARA’s fourth studio album, Full Bloom, ranked at the top of Korea’s HanTeo Chart for four consecutive days. The group’s fourth Japanese studio album Fantastic Girl, released on August 23, ranked number three on Japan’s Oricon Weekly Chart, even though the group did no promotional activity for it in Japan. An agency official explains, “Kara’s new albums ranked high on both Korean and Japanese charts at the same time. When they conducted a showcase of their new song 'Damaged Lady' broadcast online, 50,000 viewers watched simultaneously from 38 countries, including Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United Kingdom.” The female stars performed on Mnet’s M-countdown on September 5 and will start promoting the new album.

I'm happy that their physical sales are doing well. I keep checking naver and melon and it's quite discouraging. They are consistently out of the top 10 Can they still win?

Oh I finally get it. Haters are saying Seungyeon said the hosts were "annoying", and that video clip was trying to prove she was simply saying to Hara "lets leave and get you cleaned up" Or at least something along those lines. Whatever, Kara is doing well in the charts and their music show performances has been EXCELLENT. So SUCK IT to haters.

Glad to see their physical sales doing so well. Inkigayo comeback was daeback thanks to Kamilias !

yayy!! go kara go #1

I usually post thanks on the youtube links, but I guess he went with vimeo this time. Thanks step!

Wow. I chose to ignore all this controversy nonsense because I knew it was just that, nonsense. Reading this makes me so glad I made the right decision. Everyone is a critic and a hypocrite so I could careless what those haters say. I feel this won't damage Kara in the long run, if anything it gave them publicity. The truth of their innocence will be realized soon enough. Thanks a lot for the translation ultraman. Like I stated before, you're a huge help with all the on-the-spot translations. Big thanks.

I want to kiss and hug the person who wrote this.... thanks for this
