[Translations] KARA Yozm Daum Interview Pt. 3

Q11: Who is your closest friend from other girl groups?

[Nicole]
MissA's Minyoungie (Min)

[Jiyoung]
F(x)'s Sulli

Q11a: Is it true that each member has close friend based on age or line (such as 94-line, 88-line)?

[KARA]
Yup

Q11b: Even though you guys are really close, when you guys have different promotion time, or when you guys are too busy to meet each other, do you mostly contact through cell phone?

[Jiyoung]
If possible, we will meet each other. But sometimes we cannot because we are both too busy.

[Seungyeon]
I am close with After School's Uee after filming an CF together. We are same age and have the same worries; we became really close because of that.

[Hara]
I am the most close to SNSD's Jessica unnie.


Q12: Among all the Idols who are recently active, who are you closely paying attentions to?

[Seungyeon]
Colleagues who came out about the same time as us are also having promotions and there are also many rookies. Actually, since we are busy going back and forth to Japan, we are not so clear about the situation of everybody. So I feel a little vague to have to pick someone.

[Gyuri]
Abilities of all of them are amazing, so I cannot choose a particular one because I really think that they are all good and encouraging. We ourselves should also try harder to achieve it.





Q13: What would you be doing right now if you did not become a gasoo?

[Seungyeon]
If I am not a celebrity, should I be applying for job now? ^^;;

[Hara]
Student?

[Jiyoung]
I would like to do something… taking pictures/photography for example.

[Gyuri]
I have involved in the entertainment industry since I was young so I hadn't thought of working in any other field.





Q14: What is your biggest mistake during filming/performing?

[Jiyoung]
It's when Seungyeon unnie fell down. Other than that, everything else is the same. Unnie have said before, we sometime made mistake during rehearsal but during live performances, we haven't made any big mistake.

Q14a: So you guys didn't even make mistake during live radio?

[Seungyeon]
We were once performing live at the Girl Scout Festival, but the audiences' reactions were really gloomy, I think we were promoting Mister at that time. Everybody kept being quiet from the beginning to the end. The guests were also sitting on the grass with global girl scouts. In that situation, I decided to tell a joke to improve the atmosphere "Ah~ there are so many girls/ladies here today~" and after I finished speaking, the atmosphere became even more gloomy.

Q14b: It seems like KARA has more male fans, right?

[KARA]
It's 50/50.

Q14c: Girl groups would often have more male fans, while boy groups would surely have more female fans. But it seems like you guys have become the model of Star-wannabe so many females like you too.

[Gyuri]
Younger fans often look at us and want to achieve our positions. Unnie fans think of us as their cute little sisters. Everyone can feel KARA's closeness/friendliness through entertaining programs. I think many people look at KARA in this way.


Q15: When found out that Nicole is extremely close to male idols, how do you feel? Do you feel jealous at all?

[Seungyeon]
Nope. This actually is something that we should not be jealous of, because it depends on each person's personality as well. If we want to be more intimate, we would be able to do so.

[Hara]
For me, I stop at being acquaintance instead of getting close. But actually, I did not have many chances to get close anyway. Nicole actually is a person who has the most personal activities, so she can become close to more people. The 4 of us only know them but do not get to more intimate level.

[Gyuri]
Nicole is a really friendly and outgoing person so she is close to both male and female idols. But each of us has close friends personally.
