Popular girl group KARA is responding to fans and holding an Asia-wide concert tour, entitled "KARASIA"!
We earlier reported that in February, KARA will hold two solo Korean concerts on February 18 and 19 in Seoul's Olympic Park Gymnasium.
Now, they are planning an extended tour around Asia. KARA’s representative revealed, "KARA has held meetings that were like concerts but they have never done full scale concerts. KARA has become one of the Hallyu leaders, this year they will stay true to that by meeting fans in various Asian countries."
The exact dates for the KARASIA Tour in other Asian countries are still in the stage of being planned and scheduled. Following Japan, the group will hold concerts in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Thailand starting in April.
KARA has been in the music industry for nearly 5 years, debuting back in 2007 with their first album “Blooming.” They have enjoyed tremendous popularity since their initial debut and have also become very successful in Japan. They were specially invited to Japan’s elite end-of-the-year music show, “NHK’s Kohaku Uta Gassen.”
KARA to embark on their Asia tour next month
Five member girl group KARA will be going international in February with an overseas tour! Starting with a concert in Korea this February, the girls will be hitting major cities in Asia to meet with their many fans. They are still in the process of securing the dates for their concert, moving around the events they have in Korea and Japan.
KARA will be performing ‘KARASIA‘ at Olympic Hall in Seoul on February 18th & 19th, and this is the girls’ first independent concert since their debut in 2007 with ‘Blooming‘. The tour title is appropriate, as KARA is embarking on this tour to become one with their fans in Asia, hence, KARASIA.
A representative from their agency DSP Media informed StarNews on the 11th, “KARA had put on numerous performances in the past and fan meet-and-greets as well, but this is the first time they are putting on an independent concert since their debut. The girls have come a long way, now being one of Korea’s top girl groups and they plan on meeting with all of their fans that have supported them for the entirety of their journey.”
The fans themselves have been anxiously waiting for a concert. Their agency reserved one of Korea’s largest halls to ensure that a large number of fans would be able to see their favorite girl group. The tickets for the concert are being sold at a rapid rate.
KARA is without a doubt at the forefront of the Hallyu wave, going back and forth between Korea and Japan. They showcased their adorable charms and powerful performances with hit songs like “Mister“, “Jumping“, “Honey“, “Pretty Girl“, and more, while “Mister”, “Go Go Summer“, “Jetcoaster Love” and more were huge hits in Japan.
KARA has been highly acknowledged in Japan and has become one of the hottest girl groups today. They have earned the honor of performing at the NHK Red & White Music Festival last month, an opportunity reserved only for the most elite of Japanese celebrities.
