Kara, who have been receiving a lot of popularity with ‘butt dance’, has risen as the new dark horse in the industry of CFs, and, for the first time in their lives, became models for a chicken commercial. Jinjin Food System revealed the reason for their choice: “Kara has been attracting many fans from the younger age and are receiving popularity thanks to their young and fresh charm” and “We also wanted to choose models who are different to the former models, and we’ve decided to pick Kara as the model.” Jinjin Food System is attempting to use Kara’s young and fresh image with the new chicken CF to enhance their brand marketing in the future. Kara, who have started with printed-commercial shooting on the 23rd, are set to shoot the actual CF.

To be honest, I don't know what part of me looks like her, but people around me tell me that I look alike... it leaves burden on me to live up to it, but I feel good that people are comparing me to a respectable sunbae, haha!" Hara, whose hometown is Gwang-ju, said she would like a holiday to beach with her family for a break, given the time, as it is currently the hot summer vacation period.

"I like the part 'It's you I love, my love!' especially, as it reminds me of the feeling of craving for love desperately, haha!" Like how she said, "The Hara in future will be different to the Hara I am now", hopefully, she will show no ends to her development in the future.

This time, it’s ‘brainwashing song’. Girl group Kara has recently challenged the k-pop industry with ‘brainwashing song’ this summer. ‘Brainwashing song’ is a new concept with more repetitive rhythm than the ‘hook song’ which had a huge impact on k-pop towards the end of last year. Songs, such as <Nobody><How…><Crazy> and so on, were huge hits, with electronic beats as well as repetitive words on the lyric. The title track of Kara newly released album, <Wanna>, has repeats of not a word, but a sentence. ‘It’s you I love’ was repeated at least 30 times, showing what ‘ultimate addictiveness’ is. The management said “It’s not a certain word repeating, but rather, it’s a sentence repeating which makes the song sound more monotonous. But as the song goes on, as opposed to the lyric, the melody will change. They try to come up with new dance routine for every performance in order to enhance the addictive lyrics.” A song from Kara’s second album, <Mister> caught public’s attention with the ‘butt dance’ which showed the cute and sexy charm of Kara. Meanwhile, the title track <Wanna> became a hot issue as a ‘brainwashing song’, and is continuing the hits prior to it, such as <Rock U>, <Pretty Girl> and <Honey>.
