[@bluishviolett]

Austin having trouble finding the main vocalist proves how good KARA's vocals are HAHAHHAHA

[@bluishviolett]

"Who's the youngest? I'm gonna guess it's the girl in the black skirt or in the sweater vest." ........... the two oldest members. LMAOOOOOO (Gyuri and Seungyeon are 88s babies~ ♥)

[@DurrtyGato]

Seungyeon is known for having a baby face. Ppl who aren't familiar with her often think she is much younger than she is. KARA's ace

[@CJKpoprox]

@@DurrtyGato i swear, Hammie's baby face is so insane lmao XD

[@MIXEDNUTSSS]

I kept on hearing that actually, Seungyeon the maknae they say when she is an 88 liner haha. I would prolly say that for sure if I have no idea about them 🤣

[@bandi138138]

Their original company was DSP but they really ran the company into the ground after their original CEO stepped down due to illness. As a result, their relationship with some of their members were irreversibly damaged. Recently RBW had bought DSP, and consequently the rights to Kara’s music. The theory is that now that the company was under new management, they were able to cooperate with the members and able to reunite them once again. In their peak, they were the highest earning girl group. I can’t remember the year, but one year they earned more than all the artists in YG collectively made that year. They were the first Korean artist to sing at Tokyo Dome, and sold out tickets in 5 minutes, beating Janet Jackson’s record of 7 minutes. Their single Jet Coaster placed 1st on the Oricon Chart, making them the first Korean girl group to do so, as well as the first girl group to do so in 30 years. My girls were legendary.

[@egidefiska]

Gosh I was about to write this but you already did! Thanks bestie, big love from yet another kamilia♥️

[@dario8081]

their success in Japan was insane

[@avionugrohoomar]

Im glad they managed by RBW, if im not mistaken their last concert with nicole and jiyoung was in Japan right? So happy they start the comeback stage on MAMA in Japan.

[@kpop06]

RBW bought DSP beginning of this year? I think. So KARD and Mirae are also active groups under RBW, too.

[@aridian7787]

@@avionugrohoomar: yes, KARASIA 2012-2013. I have the DVD! If you love KARA and love Hara, get that DVD.👍🙌🇺🇸

[@exomake_mehorololo]

KARA was often said to be the most visually beautiful girl group! And I agree. KARA is definitely known for dance bops!!

[@soneselenator3014]

' I feel like they would do jpop well' actually kara was the queen of kpop in Japan them and snsd were like Japanese idols in japan

[@dario8081]

they are going to release the album in Japan. idk if it will be the same songs in Japanese or new bsides for Japan.

[@Judithly]

'I feel they would do J-Pop really well' - I screamed! They where the biggest girl group in Japan and I think are still the 2nd best selling girl group there :D The two youngest members are the two on the far ends (both born in 1994 if I'm not mistaken), pink sweater is the main dancer and rapper, main vocalist is black skirt and in the middle is the leader :)

[@solorun79]

all of them is main vocal now

[@MIXEDNUTSSS]

Yes they still are. 2nd all-time, next to Twice.

[@LifeWmuzjkz]

Maybe a lot of people here didn’t know that “Mister” was a b-side!!! A super popular and actually the first kpop b-side that became viral and more popular than the title! This song led them to Tokyo Dome in 2013! Yes, KARA was the first kpop girl group entered Tokyo Dome

[@franciscobc84]

I was at that Tokyo Dome show! Truly unforgettable moment, I'll cherish it forever.

[@LifeWmuzjkz]

@@franciscobc84 how lucky you are! That was my dream when I was in middle school 🥲😭

[@dario8081]

I wish they still made a video for the Korean version

[@kunikuzushis]

The J-pop comment is funny because they were the most popular k-pop gg in Japan during their time and were the first kpop gg to perform at Tokyo Dome.

[@kunikuzushis]

From left to right: Jiyoung, Seungyeon, Gyuri, Nicole and Youngji. Hara who’s not with us anymore is also of course a member always. ❤️

[@kulacute]

hilarious that you said they’d do jpop really well because you’re absolutely right!!! they were EXTREMELY popular in japan back in the day (kara held the record for best-selling kpop gg for 10 years until twice surpassed them last year) and a lot of ppl consider them to have the most ‘jpop-sounding’ japanese releases compared to most kpop groups

[@polakiwi]

KARA debuted in 2007 and this comeback is for their 15th anniversary :) The youngest members are both girls in left and right end (both born in 1994). Why both? The girl on the left end (Jiyoung) left the group (with the girl in pink (Nicole)) in the beginning of 2014 and the same year the girl on the right end (Youngji) was added. The girl that you thought is the youngest (black skirt, her name is Seungyeong) is second the oldest ;) She and the girl in the middle (Gyuri) were born in 1988. In 2016 KARA stopped to being active. According to their old company (DSP) they disbanded but our leader Gyuri said the didn't and we of course believed her :) This year KARA decided to comeback with almost all members and give us a song. As you could notice, in the end of the MV there are 6 mics when we have now 5 members in KARA. The 6th mic is for our late member, our angel, Goo Hara that we lost in 2019. They were also one more member when they debuted but she left the group after couple of months. So basically how it looks with the members rotation in KARA: 2007 debuted with 4 members: Gyuri, Seungyeon, Nicole and Sunghee. 2008 Sunghee left the group and the industry. Jiyoung and Hara were added. 2008-2014 KARA with 5 members: Gyuri, Seungyeon, Nicole, Hara, Jiyoung 2014 Jiyoung and Nicole left the group. Youngji was added. 2014-2016 KARA with 4 members: Gyuri, Seungyeon, Hara, Youngji 2016 Gyuri, Seungyeon and Hara didn't renew their contracts with DSP 2019 we lost Hara 2022 KARA comeback with 5 members Gyuri, Seungyeon, Nicole, Jiyoung, Youngji and our angel Hara.

[@exomake_mehorololo]

I've cried most of my evening today watching all their new videos😭😭😭😭 they slayed being even more beautiful and amazing than before!! Queens are back! Their set at MAMA was as epic as their comeback should be!! You could hear how excited the audience was! KARA were always the Kpop Queens in Japan. I never thought we'd ever see KARA together again. The 6th microfones at the end is for Goo Hara😢. They are not originally w that company... Their old company was bought

[@RogueRhiRhi]

Kara was under DSPMedia (The same company KARD is under, fun fact Youngji the girl on the far right in the Killing Voice was in KARD's MV and song 'Oh Nana') but came together under RBW for this release I believe Also Youngji is the youngest member

[@iekha_triples7718]

RBW bought DSP so technically ever DSP artist are RBW artist now... Just info...

[@RogueRhiRhi]

@@iekha_triples7718 Ah thank you kindly! I just found that out an hour or so ago through another comment :D

[@snufflebear]

The girl you keep noticing on the left hand side, her name is Jiyoung, nicknamed "Giant Baby", because as you can see, she's taller than everyone else, and was the makanae, didn't really rap when she was in the group, that I recall. Youngji on the very right is the newest member, and the new makanae, though the same age is Jiyoung. Main vocal is Seungyeon, the one in the black skirt on the left, also known as "Fake Makane" because at first look, she looks like the youngest, and smallest. Gyuri in the middle is the leader, and Nicole is in the pink shirt, obviously she's a singer, but she was also the main rapper. Seungyeon, Gyuri, and Nicole are the only members from their debut, where they had another girl as main vocal, who left the group after the initial release wasn't successful as they debuted with kind of a girl crush concept, very not popular back then. The next comeback, they added Jiyoung, and Hara (RIP), and did a 180 on concept, and went very cutesy for a while, but then later started doing less cutesy, more mature, sexy. After Jiyoung and Nicole left in 2015, a competition show, the Kara Project was used to find the next member, which ended up being Youngji. Nicole has been working as a soloist, Jiyoung was acting in Japan (live action version of Assassination Classroom), as well as doing solo work there as well. Seungyeon has been an actress, not sure what she's been up to lately. Gyuri I haven't heard much about, and Youngji was doing solo and variety shows I think. I found Mamma Mia most interesting, as Jiyoung and Nicole weren't in the group when that came out, so was curious which parts they would sing, and what color they would add to the song.

[@kunikuzushis]

Jiyoung would rap sometimes. She would share rap parts with Hara like in Step and Pandora and I believe she has a small “rap” part in the end of Damaged Lady.

[@eyxiacassie7298]

Oh and one thing KARA originally debuted under DSP MEDIA aka kard's agency So for this comeback rbw actually bought in DSP media and the comeback in under them this time Also this is a 15th anniversary comeback Kara disbanded back in 2017 and now they're back together

[@dario8081]

Just like our SNSD girlies, they released this album celebrating their 15th anniversary, for the first time all the members are together, the OGs and the new members. I was so touched with the end and the 6 mics TT

[@lo4625]

It may also be for seung hee

[@dario8081]

@@lo4625 I don't think so, because she retired completely from the group and the industry.

[@wullssignatia7830]

They were HUGE like REALLY HUGE in JAPAN. OMG when Austin said that Youngji is the main vocal i want to scream!!!! YOUNGJI is the one who was added later in the group. MammaMia was her debut. and im really glad when all of them are together in this comeback with Nicole and Jiyoung too❤❤❤ we will always miss you Hara❤

[@bwcenter95]

Kara is Snsd peer, they've also debuted in 2007. They originally not from rbw. When Snsd is the no 1 gg in Korea, Kara is the no.1 Kpop girlgroup in Japan. Kara and Snsd are ofter appears on variety show together back in the day, so some of the members have strong friendship.

[@akanekodiviega]

When I clicked the MV I promised myself I'm not going to cry....... After seeing the six mics at the end.....I cried for an hour.... Kara will always have a special place in my heart, happy to see all of them together

Yessss they do jpop very well They are HUGE in japan They are the queens of japan😭😭🖤🖤

[@lenkcontent]

The one you seem to like a lot, Jiyoung (the one from the left) is my favorite singer in KARA, she has such a unique voice and her solo japanese songs are amazing. You’d love her song Wanna Do which is a rockish ballad! Also, the two you thought were the youngest are actually the oldest (they are 35!) 😆 And Nicole (the pink one) had the main rapper and dancer titles back then, she was in fact one of the best dancers of her generation !

[@dizzymcdizz]

They slayed this comeback!! We love and miss you GOO HARA! I heard this comeback is like a tribute to HARA!

[@averagejoereads7271]

I’m obsessed with that belt Seungyeon does in Mamma Mia, I just wish the studio version sounded like that, but sadly the note is drowned out in the actual song

[@hanimomar309]

While SNSD’s territory is Korea, 2NE1 in USA, KARA’s is JAPAN! The one you said younger is the oldest, also in the middle. Yes they didn’t aged at all. 2022 so good so far. All 2nd gen fans raised from their grave to support!!! KARA also hv good friendship with SNSD 💜

[@justinjyeung]

KARA is one of those legendary 2nd-gen girl groups! They got hugely popular in Korea in 2009 especially with "Mister" and its booty choreo, but out of 2nd-gen girl groups they became the most popular in Japan! You can hear part of that J-pop appeal in some of their earlier songs in their Killing Voice, which I think led them to that popularity. KARA originally debuted in 2007 with main vocalists Gyuri and Seungyeon and vocalist/rapper Nicole, plus Sunghee, who left the group the year after. So Goo Hara and Jiyoung were brought in for their main lineup. Eventually, Nicole and Jiyoung left the group so DSP held an audition program that added Youngji in 2014. So what's cool is that we've never had Kara promote with this particular lineup before! And yup, they're also celebrating their 15th anniversary just like SNSD ;o "When I Move" is totally a certified bop and I love how it has more mature disco vibes, like a maturation of their musical style and it also gives me "Mamma Mia" vibes (one of their last releases) ;o Yeah and they're under RBW because RBW bought DSP lol The members in the Killing Voice (left to right) are Jiyoung, Seungyeon, Gyuri, Nicole, and Youngji. I definitely recommend checking out the MVs for the songs they sang in their Killing Voice, plus "Pandora" and "Mamma Mia" if you haven't yet :D Definitely "Mister" became so huge and iconic with its booty choreo, because it was actually just a b-side but they eventually had to film an MV when the Japanese version came out after all ;o Part of the KARA charm is that, though they do have different positions, their line distributions don't really have too much disparity so all members are able to just shine and own each song, and they really come across as a unit of powerful members :D It's amazing that the legendary 2nd-gen girl groups have all been able to get back together as of late. SNSD and KARA with their 15th anniversary comebacks this year, 2NE1 reuniting at Coachella, and there's also T-ara who came back last year with "Tiki Taka" that I can recommend checking out ;o

[@Levi-bn2xp]

Kara in their heyday is actually very huge in Japan. They became the first foreign asian group to enter the top 10 of Oricon chart. The girl in far left and far right is both maknae born in 94.

[@ajyunais]

Yes they do jpop very well hahaha Kara is arguably the biggest gg in Japan during their peak. They're the first kpop gg to perform in Tokyo Dome, the first kpop gg in 40+ years to chart within top 5 in oricon (jpn music chart), and...well their sales in Japan reached 70 billion+ dollars too 😊

[@kimeki95]

I just noticed they put 6 stand mics at the end of the mv... Tribute to Hara ❤

[@dario8081]

17:02 "Do we have any solo artists?" YES, they all released solos as part of one of their albums, and some members debuted as soloist aswell.

[@patriciadeguzman238]

That “burn it up!” high note on mamma mia has never been as powerful as this live. Seungyeon was just belting those high notes throughout the video and it’s just flawless… she’s one of my favorite 2nd gen girl group main vocalists alongside taeyeon.

[@thea.25]

I forgot how good good they sing live. 🤯 It's been a long time.

[@eugeniagomezguerra1802]

a kiss to the sky for Go Hara, who will always be part of KARA even if she's far away. Forever in our hearts and minds 🖤🤍💮

[@iamjclz]

17:00 Jiyoung (the energetic girl on the most left) has a hit digital single in Japan, called Sukina Hitoga Irukoto, which was also used as an OST for the jdrama of the same name. I think it was even certified Platinum for streaming by Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ)!!

[@melantakwarrior8423]

"Whos the youngest? Im gonna guess its the black skirt or the sweater vest" proceed to point at the oldest! that had me LOLing!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@chloesa4487]

OMG Austin, you're reacting to KARA's comeback! They are my fav kpop girl group, when I need some perking up I'll always turn to their songs. And you're right, they were actually bigger in Japan than in Korea back in the days when they were active! Edit: 2nd Gen tends to be more fun in their songs and performances and delivery as compared to 4th gen who are fiercer in vibes. I love 2nd gen!

[@miuse09]

They are actually extremely popular in japan!

二代女團回歸最炸的團體，一回歸直接上MAMA，舊歌鋪陳先勾起回憶，順便新歌亮相發表，簡直就是二代女團裡的「女神降臨」❤

[@devronl08]

So three girl groups debuted in the same year that broke many records throughout their career. Girls Generation, Wonder Girl and Kara all debuted in 2007. All queens and icons! Actually the girl that you liked the most the one who rapped isn’t a rapper, after Hara died Jiyoung did a lot of her parts and Hara and Nicole (pink top) usually had the slight rap parts in songs that had raps. Jiyoung might have had a few lines here and there but if there was any rapping is was usually always Hara and Nicole. And the youngest member is the one on the opposite end who you thought was the main vocalist. And the actual main vocalist is the one who did the power belts who you thought was the youngest 😂 and she’s actually the same age as the one in the middle who is the oldest and leader. So the one you thought was the youngest is a few months younger than the oldest 😂 Their names are, starting with the one you thought was the rapper and your potential bias: Jiyoung (second youngest, Seungyeon (second oldest), Gyuri (oldest/leader) Nicole (Korean-American from Cali, maybe you recognize her from a variety program or something) and Youngji (youngest and newest member to join after Hara’s death) Mamamia was Youngji’s debut in Kara. I feel like my comment could have been constructed better but it’s a mess like me so it is what it is chile, hope it was helpful though 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@monaz4277]

25:31 "I wanna hear them sing a rock song" Actually Seung Yeon, the second from left has a rock solo, named Guilty. It's incredible, you should check it out. She also has covered We will Rock You.

[@cayacat19]

That’s the magic of second generation groups, so much talent and experience. those groups who can still comeback are just enjoying themselves, i wish them a lot of success in this new era and ti continue proving that age don’t limit your relevance in the music scene

[@ryzalchung8976]

that sixth mic in the end really get me tearing 😢 up... Lupin is my favorite Kara's song ever, the 'shhhhh' for me is really iconic also how iconic & a legend they're to make a comeback stage on MAMA 2022... 3 generations of Kara in a stage as one. Nicole Yung (from Glendale, California) the one in the pink have solo releases this year title You.F.O...

[@divaaja2487]

Actually the main vocalist was Seungyeon, the second member from the left. And the maknae was Youngji the first girl at the right with mini skirt

[@solorun79]

youngji is a hidden gem. very underrated.

[@rizkymln97]

Wait isnt their main vocalist is gyuri? And seungyeon is debuted as visual line?

[@isabellacassiano2146]

Gyuri (middle): She is the main vocalist and leader Seungyeon (Black and White and Skirt): Is the main vocalist Nicole (pink): Main dancer and main rapper (but has a beautiful voice) Jiyoung (final fantasy): lead vocalist, face and maknae Youngji (short hair): lead vocalist, main rapper and maknae Jiyoung and youngji took the parts in the songs that belonged to Goo Hara (lead rapper and lead vocalist), so that's why Jiyoung ended up with some rap parts. Nicole and Jiyoung left the group, the company made a reality to include one more member, where Youngji got it, so the group has 2 official maknes.

[@joshuajose4868]

Interesting point you made about Youngji. She was actually the latest addition to the group, having won a survival contest in search for a new member after Nicole and Jiyoung's departure. She probably has the strongest vocals in the group, though I would still consider Hammie the better singer. But if I had to rank them in terms of vocal performance, it would probably look like this: 1.) Seung-yeon - No explanation necessary, I mean she's their main vocalist for a reason. You might want to give her song 'Guilty' a listen as you mentioned you wanted to hear them sing rock. 2.) Young-ji - Just watch her performances when she single-handedly carried Kara on her back, promoting solo after the others' contracts ended. What a champ. Like I said, she has the strongest vocals among the group, but unfortunately she has to take a backseat and let her Unnie's take most of the lines as they had been distributed prior to her joining Kara. 3.) Nicole - She's got a stable, solid tone, and is a runner. Her belts are also strong. Not to mention her being the main rapper of the group as well. She slays while technically being designated as the group's main dancer, lol. A triple threat! 4.) Gyuri/Jiyoung - Gyuri's a solid vocalist, too, but her tone is an acquired taste. Maybe it's just me, but I just prefer a much open, breathier tone compared to something nasal. Jiyoung isn't bad at all, just listen to her solo material. But her voice is too thin, in my humble opinion. Regardless, they're all awesome performers.

[@risdafanial]

snsd, kara and wonder girls all debuted in 2007 but kara's popularity rose on the following year by their own charms and uniqueness with a new line-up. kara have like the sweetest overall vocals in my opinion. they served duality because they excel both sweet girlish and matured sexy girl crush concepts. and they are suuuper popular in japan.

[@Evelyncr2011]

I love KARA and it seems like a dream that they have returned, they are one of those 2nd Gen groups that stay with you. But those 6 mics at the end were like a stab, using the same tribute that SHINee used isn't fair, I didn't plan on crying today.

[@zaynmalik9960]

The one in the pink called nicole she is rapper ,dancer and vocalist i adoooore her ❤

[@zenappa3738]

Tbh KARA’s line up is a lil bit confusing But here i will explain it a lil bit KARA debuted in 2007 under DSP Media. One of the OG TOP 3 GG (WONSOKA) WonderGirls, SNSD, and KARA. Debuted as 4, the MAIN VOCALIST SEUNGHEE left only after 1 year bcs of her parents. Seungyeon (lead vocalist) the 2nd one wearing skirt, then promoted to be main vocalist Gyuri (Leader) in the middle. Then Nicole the one in pink (center, main dancer, sub vocalist). Then 2 members join (the late) Go Hara, and Jiyoung (the one in brown pants, u thought her as main dancer). The last girl whose voice u like a lot was the latest addition to the group, Youngji the maknae. She was in a show called Roomate with Park Bom (S1) and Sunny (Season 2), oh they got Jackson from Got7 too

[@rizkymln97]

Whoa thank you for explaining. I always thought gyuri is the main vocalist but she had to gave up her position due to her vocal nodule.

[@lowelling]

L to R: Jiyoung (original maknae), Seungyeon (main vocal 2nd oldest), Gyuri (leader oldest member), Nicole (main dancer, rapper), Youngji (new maknae). RIP Goo Hara

[@lowelling]

Kara & girls’ generation promoted during the same time so they became close at some point. Watch Nicole play games with girls’ generation on a show called Star Golden Bell: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2W1ZIOon5xnmJI

[@iamlou24]

sir austin, you mentioned you wanted to hear them do rock well then if you can pls do listen to their song "Damaged Lady". it has some strong guitar rock-ish elements in it and it's such a BOP.

[@SMAnthonyW]

after all these years, i still love "pretty girl".... like, this is the cutesy bubblegum kpop ive always loved!

[@russelbutt]

Just to add more fun facts to these multi-talented queens: -There was an ANIME created for them because of how hugely popular they are in Japan -OT5 (with Hara) starred in their own Kdrama, with each member having their own episode -3 of the girls (that I know of) have starred in several other Kdramas after the original group disbanded (Kang Jiyoung, Han Seungyeon, and Park Gyuri) I'm sure there are more fun facts like this, but you get the idea, they were sort of a big deal ;)

Please watch their MAMA 2022 stage with their older songs and When I Move - it was iconic! Loving these 2nd gen girl groups coming back...

[@JohnLee-db9zt]

The tallest one on the far left you like is Kang Jiyoung. She left the group to pursue acting in Japan. Now she’s back. She had some solo songs. She’s my favorite. The two at ends of the line up are the youngest. ‘94 liners.

[@mikanlin]

I didn't personally follow them but I know most of the members and their songs and they are really legendary. I used to play rhythm games with their songs back in high school. My main bias is Hara (Invincible Youth, where I started checking out Kara, too, because of her) and I know she's happy for them as well. 💖 This is really a big comeback. P.S. EXID also released Killing Voice. Hope you can react to them. 💚

[@kamatz83]

I'm happy you got your share of KARA through this comeback. They're an awesome group with extremely good songs. They were and still kind of are very big in Japan, they were the first korean girl group to perform in Tokyo Dome and they sold out under 5 minutes. ❤️

[@segazora]

Lupin is such a freaking bop, I'm glad they're performing it again

[@icecrepegg1225]

Yesss!!! You need to listen to more KARA. They're one of those girl groups that has a flawless discography. Soshi, Kara, and Wonder Girls are like the holy trinity of girl groups. They're all legendary groups and they all debuted in 2007 too. And you are very right about them doing j-pop well since they're literally the queens of Japan. They're even considered as national singers during their peak with Soshi.

So let's address some comments you made 14:58 i BURSTED OUT LAUGHING when i heard you say this, because KARA actually made HUGE success in Japan, they were the first Kpop group to perform in Tokyo Dome, they were REALLY popular in Japan 18:40 the 2 you guessed the youngest are actually the oldest, Seungyoun (Skirt) and Gyuri (center) both from 1988, the youngest are actually Jiyoung (furthest to the left) and Youngji (futhest to the right) 23:00 i don't know if it helps, but Nicole (pink) really reminds me of Hyolyn from Sistar, maybe that's it, and yes she's the main rapper and sub vocalist, the one you guessed main vocalist Youngji (gray with black skirt), she's also a rapper and sub vocalist, and that shows how great KARA is with vocals, the main vocal is actually Seungyoun (Black skirt and boots), but as you said, all of them can sing 24:05 positions with KARA is tough because that line never actually existed, Youngji never performed with Nicole and Jiyoung before this 15th anniversary reunion, she joined after they left in 2014

I'm so glad I ran into your channel! It's been a while since I stopped watching reaction channels, but I really enjoyed your energy and personality. When I tell you I cried big fat tears seeing them together again, I really thought this day wouldn't come. I'll share a bit of info on Kara, since I come from the forum days, lol! There are 7 girls who can claim they were members of Kara. They debuted with four members, Gyuri (the middle one, leader/lead vocalist), seungyeon (left of Gyuri, main vocalist), Nicole (right of Gyuri, pink shirt, main rapper/sub vocalist/dancer), and another girl who left because her parents wanted her to get an education. When she left, Kara added 2 girls, Hara and Jinyoung (far left, constantly dancing, vocalist/rapper/dancer). When they became 5, they also changed their sound (you should listen to their debut song "break it" it sounds and looks so different to the rest of their discography) and skyrocketed from there. They were the first girl group to make it in Japan and are still popular to this day. Of course after contracts expired Nicole and Jinyoung would leave and DSP would add a new member through a survival program ( fun fact, some members of April would participate in this program). Youngji (far right, sub vocalist) would become the new member to make them a 4 member girl group. She would only do 2-3 comebacks before Kara disbanded (she started during mama mia). Fun fact: there was never a sub-unit but they all (the core 5) were able to put out solo mini projects. The group was also known as the most visually prettiest group and Hara was the it girl before all other it girls. Also, Gyuri might seem less animated because she is that way, always has!

i like how the members you guessed were the youngest are actually the oldest lol. both born in 1988

[@user-ke3ur5ej8t]

The girl at the end name is Young Ji was not the original member of Kara. She joined only when 2 members left which are Nicole (in Pink) and Ji Young the tallest. One member Hara (RIP) died in 2019. There were the very first girl group to have a concert at Tokyo Dome. They were very big in Japan and have several Japanese Albums.

[@turtledvs]

Thats why KARA is one of the biggest girlgroup in Japan, like BIG BIGGGG.

When i was in korea as exchange student the first semester of 2022, Lupin and step always played at the gay bars

[@sksksksksk7570]

Girl in pink is the Main Dancer and Main Rapper btw yet her vocals... ACE of the group defo

[@russelbutt]

god, they're so incredibly talented, their killing voice video was AMAZING, 2nd gen queens!!!

[@riconguyenofficial8947]

Yes, Nicole and Youngji are solo artists

[@riconguyenofficial8947]

13:48 After the debut, the main vocal Seunghee left the group. They added Jiyoung and Hara into the group. I think the trend at that time is cutesy concept so that’s why they did it. Seungyeon became the main vocal and her voice is kinda thin and girly, it suits the cutesy concept.

Recently RBW bought DSP so now we can see the RBW logo at the end of Kara MV

[@sakkjin]

kara was huge on japan probably like the most famous group there on 2nd gen

[@aridian7787]

Sir Austin: the lead vocal is HAN SEUNGYEON hands-down. If you listened to these songs full-length you’d pick that up. “Girl in the pink” is Nicole, lead dancer.

[@toaster19_32]

thank you for reacting to them 😭!!! i was a big fan of them (i am indeed ancient) and precisely because they had so much success with their cuter releases they get less recognition among the international fandom than say 2ne1 or such, but they seriously are so foundational i am confident you could stop a random korean citizen on the street and they could do the mister dance, and as you predicted they were also a hit in japan 😭 i really missed them

[@avionugrohoomar]

Thank you for the reaction, its brings good memories seeing them comeback again..im sure late Hara so proud and happy see Kara on the stage again. Stay healthy ❤

[@Seoul_Korea_]

KARA was legendary icon of 2nd generation of K-pop❤

[@rosettasylvestria8713]

Thank you thank you so much for appreciating KARA and this reaction 🥺😭😍🥰 So much love and your one of my fave reactors so watching this melts my Kamilia's ❤️ Fighting! 💞💞💞✨

[@criisr.5019]

I dont know why but im crying I just miss the girls and their songs 😢

[@franciscobc84]

Loved your reaction! They all have such good voices, no wonder you had trouble trying to guess who the main vocalist was.

[@reyanime]

The song is very Kara and one of my favs of the year. Their Killing Voice is amazing. They actua;;y debuted before GG in 2007. Epic year of Kara, Wonder Girls, and GG debuting.

[@po_zeti]

14:59 yes you got it right They were the most famous second-gen girl in Japan. That's very unfortunate for Korean fans. In a situation where they had to increase my popularity in Korea, they entered Japan and was only active in Japan, so Kara was gradually pushed back by other girl groups and lost thier profile.

[@apeach3862]

thanks for the reaction, Sir! :) actually Kara was made and always been on DSP Media, but it seems they're on RBW for this anniversary comeback.

[@enzi022]

The queens are back. 👑

[@TheNaster100]

RIP go Hara :( will miss you for ever

[@sf534]

Main rapper and main dancer is actually the one in pink! Her name is Nicole. And the youngest members are on both ends. They’re 94 line, the one on the far right is youngest though. Also! If you want a rock song you should check out Seungyeon’s (skirt with white and black shirt) solo Guilty! Jiyoung (your apparent bias/the one on the left), also did a song with similar vibes called Wanna do. They all have solo songs actually

[@ajyunais]

Haha the main vocals are actually Seungyeon (black skirt, black and white top), and Gyuri (white top with vest) XD

[@jessicad.5812]

Aww this is the 3rd reaction I've watched and finally I found someone who have the same reaction to me whenever it's Youngji's turn ❤️
