sorry, my bad *fixed*

For a music group that want to last long without any big discord or disbanding, it's good to have a popularity that not excessively depend on 1 member only. A group that only depend on the popularity of 1 member, he/she can maintain the group but it also possible to became a minus. A member that relatively got less spotlight can feel deprivation and the member with high popularity can think "I'm the one who fed and make this group live". Even one of the way to prevent a war between nations is the balance of power. Even one particular nation get more military power the war risk will become bigger. The fact that all 5 members of girl group KARA getting an equal popularity can be felt during the recent Tokyo Dome Concert. This is important because KARA was once facing the danger of disbanding, and the time left of their contract with their company was less than 1 year. Han Seungyeon have great contribution to prevent KARA from getting disbanded after their failure in KARA's 1st album and even revived after that. She is the one who wandered around on making appearance in cable TV and making people know the existence of KARA. However as time goes by both Nicole and Goo Hara also getting lots of popularity while making appearance in various variety program overrunning Han Seungyeon's popularity. Especially to the extent that some producer want to make 'Ant waist' Goo Hara doing solo. People also thought that Goo Hara has exceptionally high popularity in Japan. But it's not as much as expected. On the day of Tokyo Dome concert, among the merchandise that being sold, the fan that have picture of each members on it are sold out. Instead, Japanese fans that holding fan with Han Seungyeon's pictures can be seen a lot. On the concert, Han Seungyeon said in Japanese "I had a nightmare that there are no one who came to the concert but i'm really thankful that a lot of people have come today" and be moved to tears while getting great responds from the fans. On the other side, Goo Hara and Nicole confidently showed their existence through powerful choreography. Park Gyuri showed her singing ability with her solo part which stands out the most between 5 members. However the response for 'cheerful girl' Kang Jiyoung's stage are bigger. They showed responses to each of Jiyoung's words. Kang Jiyoung who wore pink sailor uniform and sang Japanese sports cheering song title "School of Heaven" said "everyone and us are like the two wheels of a bicycle that need both to be able to move forward. I hope everyone and us can keep on become a pair of wheel that running forward." The audience greeted her words with thundering applause. The fact that KARA's members, 5 people gaining even popularity and receiving spotlight equally, it shows the promising future that this group will be able to last long.

The production cost for KARA's Tokyo Dome Concert who made 45.000 people go wild was approximately 6,000,000,000 KRW (around 5.5M USD). On January 6 2013, KARA held solo concert to greet New Year in Tokyo Dome Stadium which located in Tokyo, Japan. On last December 6 in 5 minutes after the ticket sales were opened it went sold out. On this day around 45000 fans gathered at the concert venue. The concert officials hinted before the concert started "this time around 6,000,000,000 KRW was put into the concert production". Even for the rapidly developing Japanese's entertainment industry too it's considerably a high production cost. KARA got approximately 5,000,000,000 KRW (around 4.7M USD) from ticket sales, also if combined with Advertisement and sales from goods it's forecasted that they will get revenue in total around 10,000,000,000 KRW (around 9.5M USD). Just by numbers, with 6 billion KRW of production cost and revenue of 10 billion KRW, there should be around 4 billion KRW of profit. However in reality we can't calculate it as easy as that. Other than production cost there are also additional expenses that are not cheap and also usually when holding an event in Tokyo Dome, the Tokyo Dome side will take around 30% of profit. Officials said "Since this is the first show, we still don't know whether it will be a profit or loss. We will count it after the show ended" On the other side, Tokyo Dome is the 'Dream Stage' for both Hallyu Star and even for Japan Top Star too. Even people from Japan's entertainment industry too are surprised that KARA who just debuted around 2 years able to occupy Tokyo Dome. They also said that even from all female stars in Japan who currently active, only AKB48 and Perfume who had held solo concert in Tokyo Dome. Tokyo Dome is highly considered as the last course for Japanese singers and with this, KARA's popularity in Japan can be felt. In Japan, starting from a small to medium building with capacity around 2000~3000 people, to Arena Tour with 10000~20000 people, and next performance in Tokyo Dome, are considered as a star's development course.
