While I've only seen the first few episodes aired on KBS World, something seems to be lacking this season. IY1 seemed to have more warmth and seemed less scripted. I remember thinking the show and teamwork between the girls improving by leaps and bounds after 3/4 episodes. Not so much in IY2. It seems more scripted, less of a family feeling. It just doesn't quite feel right yet. Maybe it'll get better as the season progresses. Who knows? But the way I see it, unless they improve the direction of the show, I don't see it happening. It may even get cancelled altogether with it's worryingly low ratings. That will be too bad since I really want to see it be as successful if not more so than the first season. While they may have Lee Suguen and Boom as MCs, the other guy just brings nothing to the show. Seems like the MCs just do not gel together the way Shin Young and Tae Woo did. Maybe it's just nostalgia but I definitely prefer IY1 to IY2.

A lot of my friends know of KARA since they hear it when they are over at my place. Two of them are fans. One of them was influenced by me and became a fan.

That was really nice of the girls to do that for KJE. Especially Nicole baking the cake herself. I am sure that it tastes nice. Thanks for the translation. Liked reading about it. Hopefully I'll be able to watch the show.

I like the new outfits. Glad that they won. All that hard work by everyone paid off.

Congratulations to the girls for making no.1 again.

Nice article to read. Glad that the girls are moving to a new and larger place. Hopefully the new place will be really nice and large enough to store all of their things.

I laughed when I finished reading it. So funny. Sitting horozontally in a bathtub. Hilarious!

Congratulations to KARA. Jiyoung looks really nice in the picture.

The message from SS501 is funny. Nice to know to see them sending their support to KARA.

I may decide to watch this just to see what type of performance KARA will be doing for the MJ tribute.

Interesting and funny story but, who's Robert Holly?

Being fed cake by the girls. They sure are lucky.

Nicole as a goalie. Can't wait to see this when it comes out.

Nicole looked really adorable checking out the classroom for a space to sit. Plus, all the guys in class just could not take their eyes off her when she walked in suddenly.

Looks like it will be a good show to watch. Looking forward to watching it. Especially the dance battle.

This is definitely good news. Maybe they'll also invite Gekidan Hitori as a guest. I am sure he will be over the moon with joy if that happens. After all he has helped to promote them in Japan a lot. Looks like it will be a very successful Japanese debut for them.

Wow, I am definitely looking forward to this show. Can't say I am overly excited about the choice of MC though.

She's pretty witty. Quite funny answers.

Boar hunting? I would have never thought of this. Curious to see how this show will turn out. Could be interesting to watch. Wonder what they do woith the wild boars once they are caught. Good to know that there will be two professional hunters with them but it still can be very dangerous if they're not careful enough since wild boars are very dangerous animals.

I'm really surprised at how much Gekidan likes KARA. To the extent that he would help promote them for free so much. That really shows how much of a fan he is. I saw the plug that Yaguchi gave for them in her blog (which is very popular in Japan) as well due to Gekidan asking her to write about KARA. Now free promotions on TV shows as well? Looks like KARA is going to get famous in Japan pretty soon with Gekidan's help. He is one of the more popular entertainers in Japan. Good for KARA and all of their fans.

This publicity by Mari is good news. Not only is Gekidan a popular comedian in Japan, Mari's blog is also quite popular. This will definitely help bring more exposure for KARA in Japan.

I will wait and see how it all turns out. Don't see why KARA's activities should take a dip in the near future since I am sure that KARA is making a lot of money for the company at the moment. Of course Rainbow is going to get a lot of promotions, they are new and will need to be promoted but that doesn't mean that KARA will be neglected. As mentioned earlier, KARA is a money maker at the moment and nobody at the company will be careless enough to disregard them for a new as yet unproven group. If anything, this can turn out to be a good thing. Both groups can become famous and drive each other to become better performers and raise each other's standards to a much higher level.

I can understand the two of them not sitting for their college exams this year. After all work is keeping them busy. If they do want to go to college, they're still young and there is still plenty of time to do it in the future.

Hmm, looks like the show's producers were not prepared for the show at all and did not do their homework properly. What do they mean by 'acted'? Are they going to simulate her first day in college? Or something else? Will just have to wait and see what happens. From the title of the show, I really thought that it was going to be filmed in KAIST. Such a misleading title.

It looks like they were seriously shopping and planning to buy a lot from the picture. The shopping cart they have with them is really big. I think Hara declined the autograph because it is company policy not to. A lot of idols in Japan are not allowed to give autographs to fans outside of official company events. But then, they sometimes do it anyways just to please the fan. I am sure that they must be happy to find out that they have fans in Guam.
