  1. ^ Is Gyulee's "boyfriend" supposed to be handsome? Because I really think so at first glance... >.<

    Drama looks interesting so far ^^

    Episode 2 summary/spoilers:

    突如現れたパク社長2号の驚異的なブッキングにより、以前にも増して多忙な毎日を送っていたKARA。そしてなんと、ハラに韓国の大河ドラマ出演の仕事が舞い込んでくる!

    しかし、大きなチャンスにも関わらず、

    なぜか浮かない様子のハラ・・・

    実は、ハラには「プレッシャーに弱い」という弱点があったのだ。

    緊張しつつ撮影に臨むも、

    やはりプレッシャーに勝てずミスを連発。

    重いプレッシャーがのしかかりどんどん落ち込んでいくハラ…

    そんな中、少しでも演技に集中したいハラに対し、問答無用のラブミッションが出される。

    パク社長2号の思惑とは!?

    果たしてハラの演技は成功するのか?

    Manager Park No.2 suddenly appears! He made KARA's schedule incredibly overbooked, causing their lives to be busier and busier, much busier than before. And above all, Hara receives an upcoming job, to act in a Korean period drama!

    However, in spite of this huge chance,

    why is Hara looking so unhappy...

    Actually, Hara has a weakness; she is "one that cannot stand pressure".

    She entered filming, feeling all nervous and jumpy,

    and as expected, she could not overcome the pressure she's feeling, making mistake after mistake.

    And with the commencement such enormous pressure, Hara's mood rapidly takes a downturn...

    In the midst of it all, someone appeared to Hara, who wants to focus on her acting as much as possible. No questions about it; he must be her Love Mission!

    What exactly is Manager Park No.2's agenda?

    Can Hara really succeed in her acting?

  2. ^ Welcome! ^^

    Ah~ I'm not sure how this marketing strategy works. UMJ will release all KARA's Korean albums into the Japanese market, and they will also release a compilation of the PVs on the same day. Do fans usually buy the compilation to save the money for 7 Korean albums, or will they buy 7 Korean albums for more songs and all of the PVs? >.< They might buy all the albums + the compilation for collection's sake, but that will burn a huge hole in their wallet haha ^^

  3. The official webpage updated its "STORY" segment with a summary of Episode 1 + two more pictures. Thanks neris for the tip ^^

    01_a.jpg01_b.jpg

    2009年。KARAメンバーはソウルの合宿所で共同生活を送り、

    来たる日本デビューに向け歌やダンスのレッスンに励んでいた。

    そんな中、どことなくいつもと様子が違うギュリ…

    何をやってもどこか上の空である。

    そう、まるで恋する乙女のように…

    さらに、リーダーの異変が気になるメンバーたちの元へ、

    今度は所属事務所のパク社長から衝撃の告白が!

    突如現れた「謎の男」の正体とは?

    ギュリの異変に隠された真実とは?

    KARA結成以来の波乱劇が 今 慌ただしく幕を開ける!

    2009. KARA members were living together in their dormitory in Seoul, working hard at their song and dance lessons in preparation for their upcoming Japan debut.

    And in the midst of it all, there is something different about Gyulee. She is behaving differently, far from her usual self...

    Whatever she does, wherever she goes, her head will always be in the clouds.

    Yes, she has the look of a damsel in love...

    Furthermore, the members, who are worried about their leader's abnormal change, receive a shocking confession from the current manager of their office, Manager Park!

    What is the true identity of the "Mysterious Guy" that showed up all of a sudden?

    What is the real, hidden reason to Gyulee's abnormal change?

    The most turbulent drama KARA will experience ever since their formation, now kicks off in a flurry!

  4. Wow... I knew that KARA worked very hard to get to where they are now ever since their debut. I knew that KARA went through a lot.

    But I never knew that Ham, especially, sacrificed so much for her group. It just goes to show how much she loves KARA...

    Ham was put through such terrible ordeals... yet she still performed on stage with a smile on her face. Beneath that cheerful personality is a girl with steel-hard determination! After reading this, I have developed a newfound appreciation and respect for Ham. I will never forget how hard she persevered on and followed her dreams; she will always be my role model when things get tough ^^

    She and her teammates deserves all the awards they are getting now!!

    Hamtaro~ Hwaiting!! ^^

  5. I'm so happy Gyul dyed her hair back to its usual black color. She looks gorgeous! ^^ Although I need to get used to not seeing blonde!gyul anymore...

    Nevertheless, it does not matter what color her hair is; goddess will still be a goddess and that will never change ^^

    And baby Gyul is just so adorable with the apple~

  6. Day 8

    A

    Hmm? Where am I? Ah! Taemin! Taemin? You’re… right next to me? But how is this possible? Where is this place?

    Cold concrete walls… steel bars… this must be prison! Am I in prison? Although… it isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I wonder why… and I think it’s because you’re here with me; that really makes things much, much better. A whole lot better! I’m so glad to see you again!

    Argh… oh… my head feels so heavy right now… I felt as if I have woken up from a very long dream, and in that dream, I… I… I think I was being chased or something… and then I was flying! What? You mean it wasn’t a dream? That’s strange… but you know what? It doesn’t really matter! Nothing matters, as long as I’m with you, by your side.

    And speaking of dreams… gosh, I’m getting a little sleepy! Goodnight, my little Taemin! You know what? I’ve always been dreaming of a perfect world, where there would only be you and me and no one else… all the mean people who try to oppose us shall die and die and only die. It would be a world full of joy and laughter… in that world, I wouldn’t be ignored…I wouldn’t be laughed at… I would only be drowning in love, love from the boy that my heart beats for! Once, I really felt like killing those cruel prison guards, so that I can get you out of here. But now, I would rather stay in jail with you than spend my life outside alone. Because that isn’t my world, not even after changes are made. On the contrary, you are, Taemin, you are my whole entire world… you are the reason why I can live… you are the reason why I can breathe…

    Ah… I should really get to sleep now… when I wake up, I want you to be the first person I see! I want to see you in my dreams too! I want to see you in the skies… I want to join you among the stars! I will never take my eyes off you, ever again!

    I love you, Lee Taemin…

    B

    Oh? You’re here too… Never would I have expected you to land up in the same jail cell as mine… but then again, why didn’t I expect it before? You’re dying, I’m dying, and the guards probably wanted to save space and dump all the people like us into one cell. Except, you know, that there are only the two of us here.

    I’m looking at your face again, after two whole – admittedly peaceful – days. What is it that I feel? Is it rage? Is it resentment? If it is, I’m not surprised, not after what you did to me. You hypnotized me… you made me nothing but a shell, nothing but a puppet on strings… your puppet! You made me follow your orders against my will – oh wait, I didn’t have a will; I didn’t have a mind of my own at all! Why else, would I skip school, and pick fight with a bully on purpose? Why else would I kill my own girlfriend? Now that my memories are flooding back to me, I have begun to realize how scary you were… how scary I had become. No… even worse was the constant headaches, the heaviness, the emptiness… the inability to remember anything… to remember who I am… to remember what I truly feel about the things around me…

    It felt so surreal… but everything is real and true! I thought that it was all a dream too, but no! I really did all those bad things! I really murdered an innocent girl! I would never forgive you for this! So I decided I wanted to let you get a taste of your own medicine. I hypnotized you on that day you visited me. I used your star pendent, the same one that you used on me. I wanted you to feel the helplessness and dizziness you made me suffer. And I made you apologize on my behalf, to the people I’ve harmed… I made you attend her funeral too, since I am unable to be there – and they probably wouldn’t want me there either.

    I also made you forget me. I wanted you to stay away from my cell. I didn’t want you to think of me anymore. I didn’t want you to think of me at all! Who am I to you, anyway? We barely knew each other! We only said hi to each other in between classes and that’s it! Why are you so obsessed over me?

    I thought that I would never see you again. But apparently, you stole some “sweets” from the pharmacy at some point during your trance and the police found out about it and they started to chase you down. You tried to escape from them by jumping off a building. I don’t know how you managed to survive; the guards didn’t tell me… maybe you landed onto something soft? Anyway, the police caught you soon after that and brought you here. Are you crazy, Jiyoung? Are you totally insane? You could have died! You could have died and I… I…

    Oh well. What’s the point? You’re going to die anyway. So am I. Those “sweets” you fed to me? They aren’t sweets at all. They are sleeping pills and we both had massive overdoses of them, you and I. We cannot be cured anymore. One day, we will sleep and never wake up forever.

    I wonder when that day will come? Heh… your wish has come true, Jiyoung. We lived together, and we will die together. You and me together and forever. Hooray. What a nice ending.

    You know what? I’m going to die anyway, so I’m not afraid of telling you this. The worst part of this whole hypnotic trance was the fact that you forced me to be your girlfriend… how you forced me into saying how much I loved you… how you forced me into your silly hugs. Are you surprised? I can remember everything that happened to me in this past week now. I can remember every little detail of our “love story”. And I hated it… or at least I thought I did.

    When I look at you now, with your body all curled up into a ball… with your hair in two messy pigtails… with your eyes closed and your mouth in a smile… what is it that I feel? This… isn’t rage or resentment. I can’t believe I’m saying this… but I’m happy to see you here too.

    I’m really, really happy to have gotten to know you better in this past week. I’ve always thought that you are a total freak and I said hi because I kind of pitied you. But you don’t want pity do you? Kang Jiyoung is too smart and clever to be pitied. You just want someone to treat you as an equal, someone to treat you like you’re the most precious thing to him…

    I guess that’s why you hypnotized me in the first place, huh? Like I said, you are crazy, Kang Jiyoung. But I really like you like that. I like it when we rode the Ferris wheel together. I like how you cute you looked when you panicked over me and my bleeding knuckles. I like how you bought mittens for me and gave me the things I wanted when I asked for them. I love the way you pouted and stomped your feet around when you found my girlfriend’s picture in my wallet. I love the way your eyes glittered and your face shone whenever you mentioned about your “dream world”.

    I love how crazily in love you are with me – yet every bit of your love for me is so genuine, so real!

    We’re going to die anyway, so I’m not embarrassed about admitting all that.

    You really don’t deserve this horrible world. You deserve to go to someplace better. Someplace where everything ugly becomes pretty… where everything laughed at becomes respected… where everything hated becomes loved…

    Oh… are you sleepy now? When you wake up, I want to be the first person you see! I want to meet you in your dreams too! I want to see you in the skies… I want to be with you among the stars! I will never take my eyes off you, ever again!

    I love you, Kang Jiyoung…

  7. @neris Maybe he/she is short of cash?

    This is pretty crazy, if you ask me >.< I really hope that fan has tons and tons of money because no matter how awesome and wonderful KARA is, they aren't worth spending an entire month's (possible) salary on.

    I hope "weaker" Kamilias wouldn't feel disheartened and start thinking that cold, hard cash is the only way to prove their unwavering support ^^ Because that's not true ^^

    I think you wanted to post in this thread?

    Anyway, I'm so happy that KARA is doing so well in both Korea and Japan!! ^^ Who cares what KARA is classified under? A golden disk win is a win!! 2011 will definitely be a better year for them.

    Wow, if anyone here were to audition for the DSP idol thing, they might be label-mates with KARA! ^^ That will be so cool!!

  9. Hi stevenstanley! Thanks for the tip ^^

    And I doubt Gyul will kiss that hot guy; they'll probably lean forward and then she'll be like, "No, I can't do this..." because she's too immature for love!!! ^^ Ah~ it's just a theory haha.

    Translations for the tweets under the cut:

    皆さんこんばんは !昨夜メガネが大破し、 ほぼ何も見えていない担 当Nです。。。こんな事 なら、サンタさんにメガ ネをお願いしとくんだっ た。。。さて、昨日から 一気に増え、600フォロー 達成ですね^^ありがとう ございます!

    Good evening everyone! This is manager N, who broke his glasses yesterday night and practically couldn't see anything... If that's the case, I should have asked Santa-san for a new pair of glasses... Well, the number of followers have increased all at once since yesterday! We've reached 600 followers! ^^ Thank you so much!

    さてさて。今日も 裏話を1つ。屋内シーン の撮影の合間、仲良く日 本語の勉強をしている2 人を発見!KARAの皆さん、 今では全員日本語がお上 手に!スタッフとの会話 もスムーズに進んでいき ます。ホント、勉強熱心 です^^ http://plixi.com/p/66166324

    Well, well. Today, we have yet another inside story. In-between the filming of an indoor scene, we found 2 good friends studying Japanese! Members of KARA, all of you girls have gotten good at Japanese nowadays! You can even converse smoothly with the staff. Really, they are so eager to study ^^

    *HaJing with a book and pencil*

    寒い中も、スタッ フを気遣って元気に撮影 に臨んでくれているギュ リさん! http://plixi.com/p/65932250

    In the midst of all that coldness, it's Gyulee-san approaching the staff with her attention and concern, giving us the energy needed to keep filming!

    *Gyulee hugging two cold girls*

    ほのぼのとツイー トしていると、仕事仲間 が隣に。「そうだよね! KARAの皆さん本当に日本語 も上手になったよね(笑 )ところで、N君、「締切 」っていう日本語知って るかな?(怒)3日前な んだけど(超怒)」・・ ・・・・・・・・すぐに !今すぐにやります!( 担当:N)

    When I wanted to tweet something heartwarming, my co-worker had to appear beside me. "Yeah, that's right! KARA members have indeed become good at Japanese, huh? (Laughs) By the way, N-kun, I wonder if you know this Japanese phrase, 'Deadline'? (Angry) It's 3 days ago!! (Super-angry)"........ Right now! I'll do it right now!
