ღ What is "URAKARA"? ღ


 

The premise of the show has KARA working for an underworld service as for-hires,
but instead of killing their targets, their missions require them to make those
men fall in love with them. Each week, a mysterious boss will give them their new
target � from powerful politicians to kabuki actors to ordinary salarymen � and
they will use any technique they can to accomplish their goal. But due to
their inexperience with love, various problems come up during their missions.


During the drama, they will try various ways to put the target man in a
trance and fall for them.


 

Kara girls will play as..?
 

The 5 members will play themselves.


 

Only in Japanese?
 

The language will be both Japanese and Korean; when
Korean is spoken there will be subtitles on the bottom
of the screen. All of the members can speak conversational Japanese,
but the girls are currently studying how to put certain feelings
into words through acting.



--MORE INFORMATION--



 

☁CHARACTER PROFILES☁

**Gyuri(Gyulee)

**SeungYeon

KARA's sub-leader, she's the sociable type who always has a bright smile on her face. She is honest and does not lie, and she is a hard worker as well. However, there are many instances when she tries too hard by herself.

Good evening everyone! Here's a report! Today, a sample image of the relaunced homepage has been completed! It seems very URAKARA-ish, with some cuteness and coolness as finishing touches ^^ Thus far, it would only be a matter of days before we can show it to you all! Soon, in a short while!

Past tweets, starting with the most recent:
 

Picture2.png

The previous report didn't mention everything... The show will start on January 17 on TV Osaka. Don't miss it ♪
---
During the first broadcast on January 14, there will be full of highlights at that Korea filming location. As more information will be introduced at the homepage, please look forward to the first broadcast starting from now ♪
---
It is reported that we have passed the 300 followers mark, and to express our thanks, we shall give you 1 inside story ^^ Actually, the other day, we spent about 2 weeks at our Korea filming location! The highest temperature was 0 degrees Celsius, and in the midst of all the coldness, KARA was concerned about their co-stars and gave out pocket heaters; it was kindness at full-blast! KARA's kindness can not only comfort the staff and cast, but also bring fun to the filming location at the same time ^^

hm. Everyone, as we expected, it looks like inside stories are the ones on your mind (・∀・) As for photos of the recording, it would be great if we can see them on the homepage in due course. ^^ About the homepage, in order to make you all enjoy it, we shall work hard on it now, so please wait a bit~♪ (In fact, this is yelled by the staff who are working on it!)
---
Well, well. What kind of content should we tweet on this Twitter... we are currently troubled over this (;・∀・) Inside stories during recording? Excerpts from the drama's script?... Troubled...
---
Good evening everyone! Wow, there are already so many followers; thank you so much! In a short while, our official homepage will be relaunched, with the content of the drama, episodes, etc.! We think that all these can be introduced to you! After today, not only on our homepage, but we are considering tweeting real-time news on Twitter too, if possible! Don't miss it ♪

"Love Agents" isn't the literal translation by the way, it's "agents who make people fall in love with them". The former sounds cooler so I used it >.<

And "URAKARA" means "the other side of KARA", you know, the hidden, completely opposite side to them. I think that on their "missions", they aren't supposed to be the cute and friendly idols we know, but "cool and stylish" agents ^^

-melpomene.


thanks to all of the amazing kh members who shared them ^^



 

PREVIEW: OOZING W/ AWESOME-NESS!!!!


 

UPDATE #4


missed sally's post, more info and translations :3 click the link to see translation of the URAKARA poster :3

http://i767.photobucket.com/albums/xx315/m_elpomene/urakara.png

Korea�s super popular group, KARA. Though they are carrying out various activities as Top Idols, these girls have another HIDDEN face to them! It�s that of... �Love Agents�

"Love agents" shoot their target males' heart and try means and ways to make them fall into a trance, eventually leaving him spineless and hopelessly in love. It's a very risky HIDDEN occupation!

The members execute the missions given to them with coolness and style!
- or, at least, they are supposed to...

The 5 girls of KARA are cool and cute. But, in actual fact, they are not used to love, just "very, very normal girls". During the missons, these girls will stir up all kinds of troubles due to their lack of confidence...

-melpomene.

@yeosin_enairol YESSS!!! That guy is hottt!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that haha ^^ He's acting as a businessman who's attending an important conference in Korea with the Korean foreign minister. He's staying in Seoul for 3 days. And he will become Gyul's target!!

And if you're interested, here's the translated poster and the intro page that stevenstanley posted ^^

Korea’s super popular group, KARA. Though they are carrying out various activities as Top Idols, these girls have another HIDDEN face to them! It’s that of... “Love Agents”

"Love agents" shoot their target males' heart and try means and ways to make them fall into a trance, eventually leaving him spineless and hopelessly in love. It's a very risky HIDDEN occupation!

The members execute the missions given to them with coolness and style!

By the way, URAKARA is a midnight show, right? Do people actually stay up all night to watch shows on a Friday?

Yes I had fun at the website with that "other side" is like an hollogram from a card... Happy Smile, Love Agent, Happy Smile, Love Agent...

About midnight a more mature time, you know children anime is around 6PM and on over the week...

Another side of KARA, yes that I'm excited, curious, and of course I'll be jealous sometimes...

Let's hope they do the best...

And What's up the Power Ranger?
