Redresonance

Super stoked. Havent been on this site for so many years already! And now I'm back because KARA is back! Just also finished watching the episode of them on IU's Palette... really brought back so many memories, and totally loved that Nicole and Ji Young were so welcoming to Youngji. I knew I was never wrong to follow KARA. And also, Nicole tearing up at the end when giving a closing statement to IU, really brought back memories of the old times on "Heroes" and when they hosted Inkigayo together.

Haven't been here at Karaholic for ages. I really miss Nicole. Really anticipating her solo debut. We'll definitely still be posting about her here when that time comes, right? Even when she is officially not a KARA member anymore.

Personally, although I like Kwang Soo for who he is and his Running Man personality, I can't visualize them as a couple at all. Maybe it's because he's too tall and does not appear ideal for Cole. But I hope their good acting in the episode, or the story will prove otherwise and win my support haha.

........ World Tour seems like a far-fetched dream when Japan is a goldmine.

Well... The photoshopped Barbie Doll of Nicole looks much better than the previous Mr. ones that were made. But of course, it's a real photo of her. If only the dolls made resembled KARA closer.

I don't really want to say this but... I don't really like the song. The melody is not dramatic and "roller-coaster" enough for me - the parts are barely discernible from each other and I don't even know when it hits the chorus. It's like only falsetto throughout. "Go Go Summer" was a much better summer song. Oh well, I think I miss KARA's dance songs already. I guess I'll just wait for the MV to come out. Let's see if it can make me fall in love with this song.

Definitely Nicole. It's so obvious no one can actually deny that she is the most outgoing and sociable with her wide network of friends. Strangely, as a Cole fan, I'm like the polar opposite.

Ahh the Ramen cf. I hope they get more of this kind of cfs where they act in together.

Ahhhh, her latest instavid too cute. "Annyeong~ Muah" OMG. A little of me died inside. And I can swear her eyesmile was about to appear when the video ended. Could have been a second longer to catch her eyesmile. Here's the link: http://instagram.com/p/bi3DxiDBGN/

Tattoo isn't all that bad, people are opening up to the idea of it. But I personally disapprove still. Especially not on Nicole.

LOL. Gyuri all shy even if she performed those songs with KARA a million times before.

That girl really knows how to do surprises. Almost no news for some time and then bang, a big bomb. I'm going to expect more than just this dance cover though... I need more Nicole activities to make up for all the time she had no activities at all.

...and I thought her cutting her hair back to bob would be the final hairstyle for the next hairstyle.

Hopefully one of their stories will be a tear jerker. It's been years since I watched a show that could make me cry.

I think kara4life's gifs look like they have potential to make good KARA Star Collection Cards lol. I've commented quite a bit before on her new hairstyle, but I guess you could say it really is similar to Go Jun Hee's, Jinwoon's wife in WGM. As for looking like a mom... hmm... but nope, not really. But I can imagine many younger, working-in-the-office mothers to sport that typical hairstyle. Her hair is cool and looks great on her, though I'd prefer a little more fringe/bangs on her instead of being parted at their roots. But either way, I'll still get used to it anyway. Her hair here though, is nothing less than perfect even without the bangs.

For Singapore fans who want to get it, I think there is still a last copy at "That CD Shop" at basement 1 of Raffles City Mall. ^ Can't guarantee it now, since it's already like a few days back.

Cole's new hairstyle! While I was hoping for a more bob-styled one, this current hairstyle is quite pleasing nonetheless! Really accentuates her features well, and makes her look really chic, professional and sophisticated.

How is anyone planning to visit Aura anymore? I've been there once in June in 2012 and met Nicole's aunt, Eugene, who was working there and was served by her. The honour! Then I went there again this year in March hoping to visit Aura again, but it was not open. The last I heard, not sure if it is true, was that Ms. Shirley handed over Aura to Eugene for a brief period and then subsequently I think it is not run by either of them any more. Heard that it was taken over by others. Anyone care to verify this news about Aura?

I really want to watch Hammie's acting, as well as Gyuri's in NSP... but I don't have time.

I don't own as many KARA stuff as most of the people who shared their collection above as I don't earn much... But I'm going to show off my KARA collection proudly nonetheless. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My KARA Wall Is this all of KARA's Korean releases? Did I miss out any? I think I have at least one of each release, not counting album variations. My KARA Shelf Star Collection Cards Vol.1 and 2. Vol. 2 is almost completed except for a few rares. Vol. 1 is too difficult to find nowadays. My Official Nicole iPhone 4/4S Covers Only have Nicole's. I bought all for 35000 won each as I couldn't make up my mind. I actually also bought a KARA Step cover, and am using it now. Pretty good quality. Haven't decided which of these I want to keep and which I may want to sell. My Other KARA Stuff in the Drawers 2 autographed K5J posters, 1 Step poster, 1 Pandora poster. A used unofficial iPhone cover. J'etaime photobook. KARA Collection (Normal Edition) Also have a K-Swiss wolverine tee which Cole endorsed. I actually have a lot more of unofficial stuff like keychains, stickers, etc. But not gonna show them since they aren't official stuff.

A friend managed to find 2 copies of the limited edition one and I bought one yesterday! For Singapore fans who want to get it, I think there is still a last copy at "That CD Shop" at basement 1 of Raffles City Mall. Go go get it fast! Can't guarantee it will still be there if you wait too long. A proof shot below - just added it to my KARA wall:

I need a clearer picture or maybe a front view to judge for myself her new hairstyle... But I think I'm gonna love it as I get used to her new look. Jeju is a beautiful place to film at, if that's what they were there to do. I also hope all of them have greater significance in each others' episodes rather than cameos like in the animation. Like maybe supporting actresses to the main character of each episode?

Well, at least now we have a gauge for our expectations of their comeback date. At least we know it won't autumn for no reason. And even if their comeback is in September, it would mean they have more time to prepare or rest before the new release. September is the holidays here so.... *plans to go to Korea to catch KARA's comeback even though I am already working*

All 5 of them look so mesmerizing in the cover. By far the best concept which suits KARA's style, feminine, girlish and a ton of gorgeous. 18. [bonus Track] Special Girls Talk II ^ Is that an MV? Or a soundtrack? Or behind the scenes footage?

Well she's goes bonkers over everything about food, dance, fitness, disney, and music. That's totally her.
