not trying to defense anyone, but from my experience, there are lots of factors that able to affect a pre-recording session. artist's mistakes, staff mistakes, technical problems, so once in awhile it's common to see a prolonged session and ofc it will make everything else delayed no matter how well planned it was and for me, an apology is better than nothing at all

if i'm not mistaken, there are other artists that doing pre-recording too. however for some reasons, the other artists' pre-recording took too much time so KARA doesn't have enough time to do the pre-recording. it's clearly not KARA's fault, but at least they took care of kamilia who have been waiting. oh and inkigayo staffs made an official apology to kamilia too

Thread Updated with KARA's Traffic Safety Song performed on Inkigayo September 8th, 2013

^ if you take a look at the date of the posting, it was 3 years ago. so the layout have changed a lot since then

it's simply because normally people don't like it when their face are being uploaded to a place that can be seen by public especially those who are not confident with their face. so it's just a way to be respectful and keep their privacy.

Girl Group KARA member Han Seungyeon met Kim Taehee and gave a confident gaze. Han Seungyeon made an appearance on SBS new Monday-Tuesday Drama 'Jang Ok Jung, Live for Love' that broadcasted on the 8th as Choi Musuri, and shows a strong and heavy acting. On this broadcast, Choi Musuri follows In Hyun (Hong Soohyun) who came to Ok Jung's (Kim Taehee) dressing room. Ok Jung caught Choi Musuri who wanted to steal jewelry while In Hyun and Ok Jung were arguing about their different views about dress. However the daring Choi Musuri lifted up her head and boldly acts like she doesn't do anything at all. Ok Jung didn't scold her but asked for her name, but Choi Musuri didn't back up and answered "Just call me dog dirt or anything you want. However I have a family name. It's Choi. When i grow up, I will be just like you " and while saying that she forewarned the unlucky fate of the two people. Han Seungyeon expressed well the image of a daring woman and left a deep impression that are not far left behind from Kim Taehee and Hong Soohyun. She wonderfully did the short scene and gave an impassioned performance that breaks the concern that 'Idol can't act'. Choi Musuri (Suk-bin Choi in the future) looks like ignorant but actually she is a clever temptress. Later she, together with Queen In Hyun, will lead Ok Jung to crisis. *unrelated news not translated* Source: http://view.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno=2013040822583601021&nvr=Y

On the "Jang Ok Jung" production press conference that was held on the April 1st at Gyeonggido Goyang Amber Hotel, PD Bu Sungcheol said "I didn't know about Han Seungyeon" He also added "The reason of Han Seungyeon casting is there were 2 new actress in the final selection for the role but when I was considering both of them I didn't know that she is someone from KARA. The moment Han Seungyeon came into my office, she has the image of Sukbin that I had in my mind. I think there is no need to look down on her just because she is an idol. Of course I do expect to attract viewers with the casting". PD Bu has a confidence in Han Seungyeon's acting skill. He declared "We will show you Han Seungyeon's acting skill that definitely won't disappoint you" *unrelated news not translated* Source: http://etv.sbs.co.kr/news/news_content.jsp?article_id=E10002874059 TIP: iammai

recently i checked it again and there were some mistakes because lack of background context, this tweets can be seen in two ways: She likes to watch romance moves lately The romance movies that coming out lately in theaters are great. however judging from her recent tweets, i'll say it should be the first one, thus: "Lately i like romance movies" i misread this too, it should be: "kekekeke congrats onnie, show it to me once you made it!!!" this is a reply to Stella Kim's tweet: Stella H Kim @hk_diary 29 Mar highlight of the week: my icecream maker arrived in the mail today ......... @_911007
