Kara is coming out with its fourth studio album in September… attired as men

According to an August 12 announcement by Kara’s agency, DSP Media, the group (Park Gyuri, Han Seung Yeon, Goo Hara, Jung Nichole, and Kang Jiyoung) is back in Korea finishing up their fourth studio album, due out in early September. It has been a year since Kara releases an album including new tracks. The last one was the EP Pandora, which came out last August. The upcoming release will be the first full album in two years, after Step, released in 2011.

An official of the agency says, “For the last year, Kara has worked hard sharing ideas for their new album despite a busy schedule that has included such projects as filming Secret Love and performing overseas. The new album will be full of Kara’s versatile musical style.”

In addition, images released of all Kara members attired as men are drawing special attention. It’s a completely different concept from their previous ones, in which they were mainly cute and sexy.

Kara is now in the final stage of producing the new album, and they are supposed to announce a detailed schedule right after they finish working on it.
