actually, based on a tweet by Nicole, I think these may be for the new Japanese single. I think this is the MV for it. Remember how lots of J-kamilia were saying they want more "fierce" image like Lupin or STEP, well I think Kara is going to give it to them lol. But I could be wrong. Either way Hara looks so cool and I can't wait to see the MV.

@neris: for the Korean Concert, it is held at the Gymnastics Stadium of Olympic Park, Seoul and has a capacity of 14,730. I checked wiki for you I think it's the same place where 2PM, Big Bang, DBSK and SNSD have all had thier concerts, so it should look something like this.

LOL now we got two more awards just after celebrating those two! Congrats again to Kara on Seoul Music Awards Bonsang and Seoul Music Awards Hallyu popularity award. I'm really looking forward to the day when Kara wins Daesang.

hehehe cutie pic of Seungyeon in her dressing room with Hara. I think she look so freaking adorable.

Hara!!! I love that dress on her. She looks so great! Here are some more pics from Haradaily!

Aww you beat me to it! but thanks!!! I'm loving this editorial!! Hara works this look really well. Also I'm excited about her solo song!! GO GOO HARA!!!

actually I think it's an MV but I'm not so sure. There is a rumor going around that Kara will have a Korean comeback around the end of Feb. so this could potentially be the MV for that. Hara's B-day pictures were on that set. But who knows? It could also be a CF. But I'm thinking it's an MV since Gyuri used the word MV in her tweet.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOO HARA! I hope you enjoyed that birthday cake!!

GDA: 2011 -Disk Bonsang -Hallyu Star Award I'm so glad KARA finally got something from GDA!! Bongsang was a good start of things to come! hopefully, next year they can win Daesang Also the Hallyu star award was much deserved, I'm glad all their hardwork in Japan really paid off. Kara definitely deserved the awards they won tonight. No question about it. Hopefully Kara can win some awards from some other end of the yea shows like the Seoul Music Awards and such!

I thought hara looked so stylish at the airport. it was good to see her. There has been so little KARA news lately that I was getting bored wondering what they were doing. She looked great at the red carpet for GDA too.

hahaa I thought I was the only one who would notice! Gyul is always in heels. I like how she chose the sneaker style heels to blend in though. Gyul is so fashionable. I don't think I have ever seen her in flat shoes, even on "off" days she always looks so glamorous. I hope Gyuri can get rest and keep taking care of herself. She is so busy lately.

Now we can also put Hara's SBS New Entertainer Award up also! More awards for the girls is always welcome!!

is it the same director with the article in the newsbox? haha he must really like Hara. I bet he was proud that she won the SBS new entertainer award.

Thanks for posting red4summer!!! I didn't expect this but it's great to see!

AHHH you guys beat me to it! I was surprsied that the result came out because, I thought the drama awards were later but IM SO HAPPY FOR HARA!!!! after all the criticism she STILL came out on top! HARA was great in City Hunter and she played her role really well. She was the annoying spoiled rich brat with a crush on a guy who obviously has no interest in her but she is still persistent anyways. AHHH I'm spazzing so much HARA is so great.

when Hara's strp fell down...hehee I thought it was cute. She looked great during step performance.

THANKS!!! I really enjoyed this performance! TONS of Kamilia in the crowd, including that whole section of people with the KARA T-Shirts which was really awesome to see. I also saw tons of KARA light-sticks! There was the KARA heart and the Japanese KARA light-stick in pink!! I'm glad KARA received much love at this event. They are working really hard, and they really are completely booked!

Go KARA!!!! around 20k for the week so far I'm guessing! Hopefully they can continue to sell well and they might creep back into the top 5 for the week

^ Haradoll looks so pretty there. Also lol at them letting her cut her hair but then adding in extensions at every possible moment. I can't wait till Kara's next comeback to see what else Hara brings to the table, but for now I look forward to seeing her at the year end ceremonies.

This is good news!!! remember those early days when KARA had nothing to do because they weren't that popular? I'm so glad that they continue to get busier and busier! The busier you are, the more popular you get! Hopefully KARA can balance being so busy and continue to gain more love and support. Hopefully that schedule includes Korean AND Japanese promotions CF's and variety shows and maybe potential acting gigs!!!

The only reason i watch is jiyoung also! Everyone else is kinda boring. Suzy is funny and so is amber, but Suzy is hardly there and sometimes amber doesn't fully understand what is going on. I think people are just not used to someone from SNSD not receiving all the attention but obviously jiyoung is helping to keep the rating where they are at right now so obviously they are going to focus on her more. I think the problem is that everyone is trying to hard and like you said that Hyunwoo guy is seriously boring. Jiyoung is naturally like that and so are Suzy and Amber so I don't think they are trying to hard but everyone else? definitely and it is making the show stale. Everything is really predictable other than what jiyoung will say or do lol. Right down to the SNSD bias village chief. Things need to seem more real. Even the new house is not as cozy feeling. It feels like a set instead.

I agree! I don't think Kara needs to venture into the US/Western market. Like AKB48 do fine with just Japan alone, I think if Kara keep working and continues to gain more ground in both Korea and Japan, then they will be set. They definitely have a substantially sized Chinese/Taiwanese fan-base, but I still think they need one more year to continue to solidify themselves in Korea as well as in Japan before they head off into China/Taiwan. I'd say if not a full years wait, at least half a year. I don't think Kara needs to be recognized as a Japanese group so much as they just need to become more mainstream in Japan. Because Korea already lumped them in with the Hallyu wave, even though Kara didn't go to Japan as a result of the Hallyu wave and were instead basically invited over, it's going to be hard for them to shed the "Korean/K-pop" group image. Especially since with every new Korean group, the media relates it back to the Hallyu wave and as result, somehow, someway back to Kara; I think at this point it is easier to just become mainstream and to just be KARA, regardless of ethnicity, then to worry about becoming a "J-pop" group. I think that DSP/KARA should let other groups go to the US/West. Let Kara stay in Asia(mainly Japan and Korea + potentially Taiwan and China) and solidify a larger fan-base there. They don't need the US/West to be successful. Like others have mentioned, there is still more ground to be covered in Japan, Kara can still become even more successful there. Also, they can still cover more ground in Korea too. Keep chasing and working towards the title of #1 group; the only way they stand a chance of getting it is to work at it. From then on I think they should stop once they have successfully expanded into Taiwan/China which seems to be the next step since they have signed with Warner Music Taiwan. It's not good to spread yourself too thin. 4 countries is good enough. Kara can have concerts in Singapore/Philippines/Malaysia/Thailand but I don't think there is a need for them to formally debut there. Overall I think KARA is headed in a good direction. They might not have grandiose plans such as US debut and things like that, but honestly those things are unnecessary and fronts by big companies trying to prove just how much "global appeal" their artist have, when the reality is that those people listening to K-pop are a small niche and not at all substantial enough to put them at the level of Beyonce or some other really big western star. I think it's better for KARA to sell millions of albums throughout their career in Japan+Korea and to be recognized in those countries where people actually care about them, then to try and prove a non-existent point by going to the west.

Gyuri: Ballad songs Seungyeon: Ballad+pop songs like To My Boyfriend Nicole: Pop songs but more on the dance side with more aggressive beats Hara: Slow Pop; similar to songs like Hyori's 10 minuets and BoA's My Name Jiyoung: General Pop

I'm so excited for the next episode! Jiyoung is so great to watch on IY2! The parts without her are boring for me lol.
