KARA releases "Runaway" MV

The girls of KARA have signaled their comeback through a new music video!

Short and bittersweet, the music video is for a track titled "Runaway," which will be on KARA's comeback album. The girls have decided to release this song ahead of their comeback as a treat for fans.

A song that focuses on the pain of a woman who realizes her lover no longer has feelings for her, "Runaway" is the first blues track ever recorded by KARA. Relying more heavily on acoustic instruments than on metallic instruments, the blues style of the track creates a sorrowful musical atmosphere that complements the song's sad lyrics.

"Runaway" will also be featured in a short five-part drama series titled "Secret Love," which will be about the five members of KARA and their experiences with love. This series will be directed by the same director for the highly acclaimed Korean drama "That Winter, the Wind Blows," so many people have set high expectations for the release of "Secret Love."
