[News] [ 150715] Hara gives her thoughts on debuting as a solo act amidst top girl group comebacks

 

 


 

During her Naver Starcast interview on July 14, Hara talked about debuting solo, which is an especially noticeable act with all the top-notch girl groups making their comebacks this summer.
 
She said, "I felt burdened coming out as a solo [artist] in the girl group battle.  Rather than hoping for a huge hit, I cast aside a lot of my ambitions as I prepared for my music." Seems she took her debut with a large grain of salt and decided to just do her best rather than anxiously hope to make a huge splash - and it paid off!  She definitely earned herself more positive attention with her individualistic solo debut.  
 
Hara introduced her goals for this album, stating, "It's okay if it doesn't do well, but I hope that my good image radiates a bit more prettily."
 
 
 
[News] [150715] Hara talks about the songs off her debut solo album
 

 
Hara sat down for an interview with Naver Starcast on July 14 following her solo debut with 'Alohara' and "Choco Chip Cookies" where she revealed she wasn't seeking to go after a sexy vibe, but that was a natural concept to go for with the music.  
 
Regarding her song "How Is It?" which got banned for being inappropriate, she said, "I thought that the feeling matched the song, so I went along as is, but it got hung by the public TV deliberation.  Youngji did the rap part.  'How Is It?' was asking about preferences, but it got judged inappropriate, so Youngji had to redo the recording."
 
Regarding "Choco Chip Cookies," she said, "It is a bit sexy, but that's not what I was going for.  I directed it so that it matched the atmosphere of the song."
 
Regarding "La La La," she said, "The lyrics include a sexy woman whose ego rises as men look at her."  Jung Sang Hoon said, "When men look at women, the women laugh a lot." Hara said, "When I feel that men are looking at me, I become very conscious of it."

There are fans who pity it and like it more if I release a dance song or a bright song. There are also some who saying ‘From the track list, ‘Hara Goo’ will be able to appeal more but why are you coming out with ‘Choco Chip Cookie’?. However I keep firmly pushing ‘Choco Chip Cookie’. If you keep listening to it, it’s a song that will get you hooked”.
 
Then, what kind of response that Goo Hara wants to gain from this album activity. She answered that rather than a ‘Big Success’, she wants to gain ‘Expectation’.

I always thought her song "hara goo" was title worthy cuz it was fun and bubbly, fits her personality (kind of gave a hyori you go girl feel) . But I love CCC as well so I'm not complaining and totally see why she chose it for a image change. glad all the members helped her with her debut too :)
