coffeebeanie Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) Rivalries for the Year 2009 in the music industry. In the korean music industry, the girl idol groups are represented by the Wonder Girls, Girls Generation and KARA. And each are from reputable companies - Wonder Girls belong to JYP, Park Jin Young's company, Girls Generation is a part of SM, where SES also comes from, and KARA is from DSP, who produced Finkl. The Wonder Girls will take a break after their last stage which will be on the 31st of December. On the other hand, Girls Generation will release their new mini-album on the first week of January. And for now, it is KARA who is swiftly rising on the charts. This indicates that KARA, who is enjoying a strong popularity and showing on the music charts, and Girls Generation, who has up till now been quietly preparing, will fight in out on the music programs this year. This is gathering much attention and interest, mainly beause of it being very reminiscent of the original rivalry of Finkl and SES, who incidentally belong to the same companies as KARA and Girls Generation respectively. The odds seem to favor Girls Generation, whose popularity was at par with Wonder Girls. However, it also is evident that the number 1 position is within KARA's reach with <Pretty Girl>. source: SPORTSKHAN NEWS thanks to louise translated by coffeebeanie@KARAholic. only translated KARA related parts.

chupachups Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 if DSP maintains what they're currently doing for Kara now, i'm sure they'll be able to strive. DSP should know how to innovate and ensure that Kara's songs remain fresh. go go! hoping to see some Kara + SNSD interactions. lol thanks louise and tin!

AnnDropsBy Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 They're both two of my favorite groups, so I'm excited to see what they have in store for this year. SNSD, especially, with their comeback. I hope DSP will get Kara to promote the other songs in their mini-album, or have another version of Pretty Girl so that even when SNSD comes back, they'll still remain fresh with their audiences. I also hope to see Kara and Soshi interactions! Hoozah!! xD Can't wait ~ Thanks for posting! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes continue the good work DSP because things are getting well... I wish the best for Kara...

-xuxu- Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 if DSP keeps up then I have much confident in KARA KARA will definitely reach up to the top~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mae Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Its nice to know they acknowledge Kara now along with WG and SNSD... just what i thought too hmm.. i think b/c we are still new to what is happening to KARA, the owner guy coming back and all.. we still don't know if anything will change but for now the girls are doing pretty well.. i guess it could be called a rivalry but it's more like friendly competition just b/c the two groups are more alike than different XD.. i don't think it'd be as obvious as the wg vs snsd one lol.. i bet we'll be seeing Kara and Snsd together somehow.. we know how korea loves to relive those dsp vs sm days lol should be fun.. dsp said KARA will be promoting until earlier this year i think DSP will probably let KARA promote another song of the mini album.. thanks tin and louise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnel Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 like everybody has been saying, DSP just needs to keep doing what they're doing with Kara and they'll stay up there. Actually ... they have to do MORE then what they're doing now especially since SNSD will be active once again. can't wait to see what this year will bring. thanks for translating tin and sharing, louise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiSS.GiRlli3 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 i really can't wait for tis year i got a good feeling for KARA really last year was all Wonder Girls. it's time for GG and KARA to compete and i'll be rooting for KARA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suju_kara123 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Yeah last year was all about Wonder Girls VS. SNSD or WonderBang. This year I'm kind of hoping KARA and Super Junior will be together because I love both and I would totally faint if they perform together... Super Junior and KARA were pretty inactive in 2008, KARA only came for about 6 months of the year and Super Junior was in China.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinggg Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 both teams are great so it'll be fun to watch...i vote for a special stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMt Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 great to hear kara vs snsd because its always been wg and kara is always the one left out i am looking forward to see the competition between the two groups just watched GG's teaser and i must admit it is pretty catchy so its going to be tough!! hope DSP will improve and do more to help kara.

Kara_Hyori Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I have seen SNSD's teaser mv and as expected, it was awesome... Pretty Girl is doing good in charts and if SNSD comes, there goes the rivalry.. hoping for a special stage though.. go go Kara~! Fighting~! SNSD jjang~! Fighting!!!! too bad WG is not in that rivalry thingy... heheheh... thanks for this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the93rd Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) I've never really seen SNSD as a rival to anyone since there are soo many members xD I think Wonder Girls and KARA would be more plausible rivals, but I hate this rival stuff :/ I've always liked how Kara always kinda minded their own business and just sang instead of "competeing with other singers." But now that they're getting more popular, they're going to be compared more often to WG and SNSD. At least Kamilia will always stay mature and only pay attention to Kara. If Kara's promotes Yodele next, then it'll be an E-Tribe song vs another E-Tribe song, since SNSD'S Gee is also made by E-Tribe.

SML Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I always say this but I really want Kara to win the mutizen! But w/ SNSD's comeback I really don't' know if that's within reach. Kara tries their best and they're getting much more popular but...idk if that's enough to beat SNSD ;_____; No bashing, I'm excited for SNSD's comeback--I just wish Kara got awards to have their hard work pay off :/ But I'm glad they're now considered a "threat" yay ! I've always loved Fin.k.l more than SES and I guess it's the same thing this time ^^; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chupachups Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 ^ i know what you mean! just one mutizen, that's all we're asking for. but i have faith in Kamilia. i saw this one person on DCKara who bought 5 of their Pretty Albums. and they're urging people to vote for Kara for Mutizen too. Go Kamilians! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mae Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 ^^ yup. kamilia knows its now or not never.. but longer before KARA gets at least 1 award lol.. i should keep voting XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikka Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 woah. i can't wait! rivalry among snsd and kara? go kara! dsp must give a lot much more work since snsd is coming back! so yeah! but i would like to see kara featuring with super junior or dong bang boys or the bigbang! it would be great! hahahaha. hope kara maintain its popularity this year 2009! Kamilians, support KARA, always! hahahaha. [ofcourse!] "if u wanna pretty, every wanna pretty" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kara_forever Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 as my names state,, kara forever... i think SNSD is good but kara is much better even without sungja.. T_T i miss her... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sungmin's Wife Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Kara works hard although SNSD is very popular Kamilia is growing so KARA JJANG!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonshowbiz Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 snsd's new trailer sounded like KARA!!! i think kara vs snsd is a better match-up than wondergirls since the two groups have the cute image while wg has more of the sexy image..although kara brought back their sexy image during the year end performances with the bunny outfits and all..come to think of it KARA seems more versatile!

chupachups Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 ^ i dont think Kara's image is similar to SNSD. We cant even define Kara's image other than them having this comfortable girls-next-door image (which is totally awesome and likable). They've tried so many different genres from their debut till now. It's just that they have soften their concept and are more feminine now than before. i dont want to think of it as a versus thing. if we think them fighting it out, Kara is behind them so far. Kara is still only new to this popularity, receiving massive attention thing while SNSD got to experience it from last year till now. i agree with Ting. I call for a special stage too! haha! Hyoyeon and Nicole's dance! lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
