Kara's Step MV is nearing 30 million views. Please watch it at least once so it can get to 30mil before May 1!

My mom watches that animal program SeungYoen does MC. She's very fond of her.

[How did you get into Kara?]

I ran into Honey MV on yt. The video quality was pretty bad but it did the job convincing me to follow around KARA.

[HAN SEUNGYEON | PROFILE]

- She did not finish high school, but passed HS equivalency test(just like GED in USA)

- She was admitted to Kyunghee University through regular admission process. (Most entertainers are admitted through separate process where special considerations are given .... if you know what I mean.)

Interesting facts wow, she's fluent in Japanese? Cool. And she's also a fan of H.O.T .wow. She's a 88 liner xD an unnie.

I would dispute their fluency in Japanese. They are very good, way more advanced than "beginner", but not fluent.

Goo Hara was the one. one of the MBC outdoor performance of Honey.... the stage was little awkward due to wind blowing around but I have never seen girls that pretty...

Is this one of the picture deleted?

She had big eyes even before PS...

[Park Gyuri | Profile]

In their debut documentary, Gyuri mentioned she suffered from depression and got treated. You can tell she sometimes struggles by her tweet messages. I wish fans can help her without creating annoyance....

[[2012.04.16] Fans Help Kara Stand Tall in Its First Japan Tour Concert]

Best new I heard: Goo Hara's family were at KARA's Korean concert. She became a singer against her parents' wish and seemed estranged. She didn't see them for years, but they came to her concert.

[[Haradoll] Hara in a documentary]

This is a part of documentary on trainees, produced by a local TV station. As far as Hara is concerned this is the entierty of it. She is 14, korean age, and lives with relatives. (The kids sleeping when she was studying are relatives not siblings.) It does not mention she's a trainee of DSP, and it does not look that way. Her family opposes her dream of becoming a star. She mentions her nose bled frequently due to stress and even collapsed, but she kept going b/c not going felt uneasy. But she's happy b/c she's doing what she likes. She's back home after 11PM and feeds herself.

This girl is not just a pretty faced idol, but a real role model.

[Official Gyuri Tweeting/Instagram Topic]

Gyuri's Twitter Korean is more proper than just about any other's, but it still is not suitable for, say, school reports and such.

[[2011.12.21] K-pop market in Japan doubles + KARA net profit exceeds $17 million USD]

I read somewhere that artists typically get around %5 of profit from CD sales.... since Kara has 5 members, each would get %1 (about $200,000).

[If KARA has a solo concert, which songs would you like them to perform?]

I want Kara to do cover on "Because I got high". In fact I would go to any girl group kpop concert if that can be confirmed.

Last appearance for Goo Hara as MC on this program

Does anyone know where she will appear soon?

[Park Gyuri | Profile]

i really like her impersonation, she

can be a dubber ! just like her omma.

She's done at least one already. She was in an audio drama version of some children's story for blind kids. Youtube has a video of her and other cast members(Goo Hara and Kang JiYoung among others) recording it. Unfortunately, I do not have the linky saved....
