aank1 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Girl Group Kara's Leader Park Gyuri revealed her after promotions feelings. They just came back from Japan for their debut single release promotion from 8 August onwards for 8 days and 7 nights. On 19 August at one broadcaster waiting room they were asked several questions about their promotions in Japan. Park Gyuri said,"I thought it was a joke when I first heard about us at Oricon Weekly Chart. Actually even now I(we) still cannot believe it. We are not even Japanese group but yet we are able to receive such love which also worries us at the same time. Of course we are happy and proud. However, just like how we're so shocked at the same time we are confused too. Gyuri responded to questions asked about their popularity in Japan. She said, "Rather than expressing how we felt, it seems like we are more of shocked and surprised." When asked about factors that make them so well received and popular in Japan, Gyuri said " Many said that they can't find any other groups that look like us. We've also heard people like us because they feel like we are just like their sisters or friends next door. Looks like we have to work harder to show our very best and prettily no matter which stage performance we are in. Gyuri added, "We are glad and happy to have fans from another(foreign) place to love us but we have yet to work even harder just as much as how much we are being loved. We will do our very best and definitely will not let down both our Korean and Japanese fans for our upcoming album in September." Kara's single debut in Japan "Mister" was ranked at #5 on Oricon weekly chart(Based on 17 August). Kara is the first foreign girl group to be on Oricon weekly Chart top 5 with their debut single.

VAN Diesel Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I guess the girls work so hard that they sometimes forget that they are even idols. I think this is a great example of how down to earth these girls are which is my fav attribute about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
