coffeebeanie Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 In two years, they managed to film only 3 commercials. Then came the 'Butt Dance'. Girl groups KARA has been steadily rising to the top with songs like <Pretty Girl>, <Honey> and <Wanna>, but <Mister> sealed the deal for the group. Filming about 10 commercials in just one month, they are being called the 'Silent Giants' in the advertising industry. DSP Media had expressed that upon releasing their second mini-album last October, and then finishing promotions for the album, the girls of KARA were kept busy, filming more or less 10 CFs. KARA did not have much to do with CF's when they first debuted in 2007. They filmed their first commercial for 'Lemona' during their first year in the industry and with hits like <Pretty Girl> and <Honey>, they managed to be in the CF's for Ottugi and Lesmore - which makes a total of 3 commercials for KARA. However, they recently managed to impress their credentials with filming commercials for chicken and pizza, bakery, grocery products, casual wear, online games and franchise restaurants, proving a wide variety of products they can advertise. Filming CF's almost everyday, indeed October was the busiest KARA has been this year. Their second album <Revolution> contained hits like <Wanna> and <Mister>. Between the two, it is undoubtedly the 'Butt Dance' of <Mister> that raised the popularity of the group to new heights, making them a prime candidate for commercials. DSP Media states "After the popularity of the 'Butt Dance', the love calls for commercials became relentless. We are very happy that with each new release of albums, the girls' popularity steadily rises as well. We are thankful for all the love they are able to receive." If CF's are the fastest way to determine if a celebrity has indeed become a star, then it is undeniable that KARA is one of the hottest girl groups around. With the release of various CF's, they are transitioning from the image of 'Economic Idol's' to 'National Younger Sisters'. Beside the numerous commercials, the members are busy with their individual activities. Nicole has her 'Mnet Reality Show: Nicole goes to College', Hara is part of G7 of KBS2's 'Inivincible Youth', Gyuri, Seungyeon and Jiyoung are regulars for programs like KBS2's 'Star Golden Bell' and SBS 'Quiz! Sixth Sense' and different radio programs. KARA had earlier announced their plans to comeback this November, however, due to the delay in the preparation for songs, they are postponing the album release, with no exact date confirmed as of yet. source: NATE NEWS LINK thanks to mae@KARAholic translated by coffeebeanie@KARAholic.

djung803 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 As someone who has jumped on the "mister" bandwagon not too long ago I can say that the popularity of "mister" has really helped these girls. I might go so far as to say that this is their big break. Now that they received the spotlight, you can't help but fall more into their charms and genuinity. I hope they will continue to be strong and popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okita Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 indeed 3 cfs in 2 years versus 10 cfs in 1 month. Somehow, this brings a tear to my eye. Thinking about what SeungYeon said on Strong Heart. This is very much her dream come true. I'm so glad for all of them. Between Prety Girl, Honey, Wanna, and Mister. I hope they ride this wave for as long as possible. Really, they deserve this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionalSense Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Yay! Congrats KARA. Im glad that they are getting more deals. It was a bit sad how they only got 1 CF offer when the first debuted. (Which was kind of cheap too). But now they are on the role. I hope to actually see them pose for magazines such as Elle Girl and Vogue soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
