[News] Women Movers and Shakers Rocket up K-POP 100 Chart

KARA: "STEP" (No. 24)

One of the major faces of the K-Pop movement in Japan, the five member girl group KARA has returned to their homeland to release a new album. The title track, "STEP," entered the chart at an astounding No. 24 just one day after its release, a fact which bodes very well for KARA's top 10 chart positioning on next week's chart. "STEP" is a synth-pop track that combines elements of rock and electronic. As the name suggests, "STEP" is a sunny anthem of encouragement for those who are facing a tough reality but strive to "step" forward everyday to reach their goals. KARA became a K-Pop icon for its signature dance move, the fabulously named "ass dance," and is poised to repeat its success with the hip-centric dance moves shown in the music video here. KARA has enjoyed as much success in Japan as it has in Korea, several times topping the Japan Hot 100 chart with Japanese versions of KARA's songs. There are many great things lying ahead for these five superstars.
