Some would argue that KARA was the idol group who first kicked off this vigorous promotion cycle back during 2009’s Chuseok, when they earned the nickname ‘bolts of energy‘ thanks to Goo Hara’s efforts. By winning a variety of contests, she established the foundations for the rest of her group members to rise up on, resulting in KARA being one of Korea’s top girl groups.
CR: AK
Please tell me this was not a direct translation LOL.. this is super offensive to the other members especially SeungYeon and Nicole who were "established" already...
^ ikr? big LOL to the writer :P...i think anyone who wrote that article must be just been introduced to Kpop recently
ReplyDelete^^ guess I shouldn't be that surprised.. it's like hearing how Hara is the sole reason why KARA are popular in Japan XD A group can't rise too far with only 1 person's effort..
ReplyDeleteWho can forget the cute girl of SGB? the fairy of SGB :)and she did that during Wanna and Mr promotion period. Did this make them more popular? YES,with Nicole's butt dance too. I dont mean to ask them to reward Nicole or something, because the other members have tried so much, not just any person.Isnt it too unfair to write "thanks to Hara's efforts"?
ReplyDeleteWOW! Epic failure!
ReplyDeleteI hv to admit I have come across quite a number of comments of how Hara single-handedly is responsible for KARA's popularity on variety shows and in Japan!
WTF!! I am really offended of those kind of comments coz it truly belittle the other members' contribution. Yes! Hara is the one with most fanclub members in Japan but to say that she is responsible for KARA's popularity is just way too much!
I became a KAMILIA and got into Kpop because of Nicole and her SGB segments. Besides her, Seungyeon has appeared as co-MC/MCs for various music & variety shows. During that time, Hara and Jing just joined ...
I hv nothing against Hara but her fans can be a tad inconsiderate and boastful! :(
Sorry to say this but it has to be said = Hara may hv the visual in KARA but for other talents esp singing and stage presence, I'd lay my bet on GyulHamCole anytime. Jing's voice is coming along nicely too.
I can bet that they are plenty of Kamilias out there are fans of their voices/talents and not just looks .. :|
wow... don't they know what SY went through just so that KARA's name wouldn't go poof back when they weren't popular? and there is a reason why she was the KARA member chosen for the 4tomorrow samsung campaign. she was the most popular back then.
ReplyDeleteThere was SY and Nicole before Hara became popular.
That writer must be a Noob. tsk tsk. too bad.
