tinggg Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) "Pretty Girl's" popularity premonition... Cute dance, Fashion item fan appeal Risen to #1 in member real-time searches..."Must try to become Top-notch Music Pros" Kara is budding. Their new song "Pretty Girl" is spreading everywhere everyday. The member's names are frequently rising to #1 in real-time searches on online portal sites. The members are rapidly garnering the interest of the public, which perplexes many. After debuting for a year and nine months, the attention they're getting is finally come to full bloom. Their charm is well-distinguished in their second album <Pretty Girl>, which was released on the 4th. Each of the members caught our eyes with the different fashion items they wore. Starting with a powerful slogan and following with a cute dance, this is one strong package the girls have prepared. Park Gyuri, Han Seungyeon, Jung Nicole, Koo Hara, and Kang Jiyoung make up this 5-person group, of which the strength is in their natural image, which is hard to find in other female idol groups. They don't have the "pretty fascade" or "cute facade" like the image of a mannequin. Even their awkward "Ggaleuleu" laugh is refreshing. Their album jacket shows an undecorated image you can't find in other female groups. They aren't real-life dolls, but instead go for the "girl next door" image in which they'll seem to reach out and hold your hand. "We want to show everyone a pretty image on stage. We want to portray ourselves as we normally are. Some fans have asked us to please make up ourselves a little. But Kara member's natural look we're trying to portray is the most beautiful image," said Park Gyuri. During KBS 2TV's Music Bank, which aired on the fifth, Koo Hara accidentally stepped on another member. Images of the moment quickly spread over the internet which made Koo Hara a popular topic. "At first I was really embarrassed and kept crying. But after time passed, many people expressed their concern, which gave me a lot of a strength. They said even my mistakes came off cute," said Koo Hara. The fashion items Kara wears have also gained a lot of popularity. The items each member wears have become a popular topic amongst female fans. Park Gyuri's hair accessories, Koo Hara's furry hat, Jung Nicole's vest, Han Seungyeon's earrings, etc" have become hit items. "It's all new. People say it's like the members have debuted again. This time they have a different premonition they say. They say we must try to become top-notch musicians this time," said Han Seungyeon.

Sungmin's Wife Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Fans asking them to make up a little... that kind of obsurd. I'd rather have them natural than looking made up. These girls are awesome nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godric29 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 "girl next door" image in which they'll seem to reach out and hold your hand. I love this door... Yes their concept is very nice and different, its showing their side that they are easy to approach and love...XD Their nice song is their way of reaching their hands to their fans and audience...XD And the people sure are getting interested in their outfits and accesories...XD Wohoooo, Thank you for translating Tinggg onni....

Nanda Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) and to think about it tis article is like bashing others girl group now tat they see how natural kara are loli find tat rather funny I find funny too. The others groups name passed in my head and I started to laugh by myself. I think this image is more genuine, girl next door. They're showing a friendly image, not too cute and not too sexy. They're being honest in their images. I like that. I'm so glad that they're receiving so much attention because these girls surely deserve that. It's all about natural beauty XD Edited December 11, 2008 by Nanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solin Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 KARA fashion figures ! that is so cool I also like the accesories they wear a lot lol. But even if they are prettier with make up I prefer seeing them without because they are naturally pretty girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiLaZnXoGrL Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Yes, their fashion has def. gotten a lot better. But Gyuri's right, their image is more of the girl next door type if anything. I love it that they are just themselves and don't pretend to be what they're not. Except Gyuri "pretending" to be "sexy" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
