Debuting in 2007 with four members, five years later the current five-some, has become one of the hottest female K-Pop groups in the music industry today. On February 18th, KARA held their first ever solo concert at Seoul Olympic Park in front of thousands of fans who have been anxiously waiting for this day. KARA now joins the sadly rather short list of active female idol groups who have held their own solo concert.

Their three hour concert ‘KARASIA‘, showed different sides to the ladies, as they went from cute to sexy, and all things in between.

Starting their concert with a performance of their hit songs “Step“, “Wanna“, and “Jumping“, the ladies told the crowd, “We were worried because the weather is so cold, so thank you so much for coming..it feels so unreal to be having our very own concert“.

Afterwards, they dressed in cute solid colored, one-piece jumpers and performed “Umbrella“, “Blinks“, “Date“, and “With“. To change the mood, two soft ballads followed, “I am..“, and “Wait“.

While Gyuri and Hara showed off their sexy sides by wearing provocative dresses and dancing to a tango and samba number respectively, Seungyeon heightened her cuteness by wearing a ruffled dress and dancing with masked cartoon animals. Nicole channeled her inner Michael Jackson and gave a powerful performance of “Beat It“, while Jiyoung sang a mellow song while playing a guitar.

The ladies also performed “Lupin“, “Let It Go“, “Break It“, and “Honey“, as well as their Japanese hits “Winter Magic” and “Jet Coaster Love“. They sang Norazo‘s “Superman” and changed the lyrics to “Supergirl“, proving that they were indeed super girls that were taking the the music industry by storm.

After hearing Hara and Gyuri’s heartfelt stories during a talk time, the ladies shed tears as they looked back on their hardships. Immediately after this moment the girls sang “Dear Kamilia“, a song dedicated to their fans.

Successfully ending their first concert with “Mister“, the ladies gave in fans who shouted for an encore. They performed ”Pretty Girl“, “Girls be ambitious” and “Rock U“ before really ending the concert.

KARA to hold a concert is definitely a dream come true

I love that they'd performed Break It

Hara and JiYoung's voice also fit to Break It song

watching the fancams I feel like watching the female version of SS501's Persona concert

the article didn't do justice of what really happened lol

on my own count, there are 37 KARA songs in total during the concert.

what makes me more surprised there are no guests.

KARA gave it all.

Hara is the first one who cried on the first day.

But every girl gave it their all on the second day, they let their heart out.

A day to remember for everyone

I feel proud for them, it's been such a long time since debut they really worked hard for this day. Watching the fancams, it looked like the two older ones cried again keke but Hara shed many tears as well, but surely all of them had teared up a bit. Also nice to see many of their friends come support them. Hope that their KARASIA tour will be a success!

I just saw the fancams. Astounding and breathtaking world class performance. :thumbup::w00t: I wish i was there tho :( (I would most likely get a nose bleed, but it would be worth it :wub: )

But the real test would be the 'Secret world' song. If they can pull this song off better than the old KARA, or at least, with the same quality, then all hats off to the new KARA. Challenge accepted?? :P

Well of course.. After all that effort they put into and worked so hard. Sigh.. If only KARA was under YG or perhaps JYP.. They'd do so much better :/ well I'm not putting in SM in because SM tends to overwork their artists and I don't wish to see KARA, and in particular, Nicole T_T to be overworked and exhausted.
