[News] The ‘Queens of K-pop’ to dominate this Fall’s major comeback line-up
KARA will be the first major girl group to make their comeback this fall. They’ve already unveiled their first video teaser for their 3rd album’s title track, “Step“, through their official YouTube channel.
“Step” will mark the group’s official return to the K-Pop industry after they did a joint Korean-Japanese promotion for “Jumping” ten months ago. This new song was produced by the Han Jae Ho-Kim Seung Soo combo, and it’s said to hold an exciting, rock-electronic beat that’s perfect for the upcoming fall season.
100 lucky fans who pre-purchased KARA’s limited edition album (which went up for sale on August 25th) will get to watch the group’s exclusive showcase on September 14th. KARA plans to begin their active broadcasting promotions after the Chuseok holiday weekend.

[Info] Departure & Arrival Schedule
So I know some fans were wondering when KARA would arrive in Paris. None of the girls have tweeted or mentioned anything about the trip YET. It's an 11 hour + flight so if they do mention anything.. there should be enough time to go to the airport.
The best thing I could think of was to post up the Departure from Korea at the Incheon International Airport and the Arrival to Paris at the Charles de Gaulle Airport.
[Tweet] The day has come
Wow- +_+ Nicole-ing.com Thank you, everyone ^^ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ!!!! I'm feeling extremely great!^^ Fufu

[News] Asia Today reveals top earning Korean stars in Japan
Whenever looking at the current Oricon charts, there's always some Korean artist in there somewhere. Asia Today made a list of the Korean artists promoting in Japan, and revealed the top 5 highest earning stars for the past year.
The fifth spot is taken by 6 member group Supernova. They have been promoting in Japan since September 2009, and have managed to get into the top 10 with every single one of their releases. The group is said to be earning around 30 million yen for their Japanese work.
Surprisingly, popular group TVXQ ends at a 4th place with 60 million yen, while girl groups Girls' Generation and Kara, who have been promoting a lot in Japan lately, take the 3rd and 2nd spot with about 50 million yen each.
Korean actor-turned-singer Jang Geunsuk ranked at the top spot with an income of about 90 million yen. The actor has released multiple photobooks, and his debut single earlier this year. His single is still the best Korean debut in Japan up to date, with sales of around 200000 copies up to date. He sold 119000 copies in the first week of its release.

I have to admit.. if this is Cole's hair for the comeback.. it'll take me awhile to get used to it. The extensions don't look real to me lol..as compared to her own real long hair, which looked awesome. I know they are extensions but.. still XD
[blab] seriously. everytime lol
Kamilia.. why even respond?.. take a step back and before replying think about how ridiculous the trolls are for PURPOSELY trying to get you riled up lol. Don't take it personally, it doesn't really have anything to do with KARA other than they are popular enough for them troll at.
All the hate filled comments show that they actually "care" enough and think KARA is "relevant" enough to post those comments up.
It's ironic. Write such rude comments but at the same time showing that they think somewhat "highly" of KARA?.. err okay.. thanks for caring? lol.

[News] Japanese Anti-Hallyu Protests Continue
On the episode that featured the anti-hallyu protests that was broadcast on August 21st, K-Pop’s popularity and also its anti-movement were shown. The episode showed many protestors saying extremely critical things about Korean celebrities.
One protestor was shown with a microphone saying, “Don’t force anti-hallyu on us Fuji TV, I don’t want to watch Korean dramas.” Other protestors were shown screaming “Hurrah to the Japanese Emperor,” also people were saying “Amongst the people passing by we can even see the face of some Josen-jin.” (Josen-jin is a derogatory word that the Japanese use to describe Koreans.)
Also, some protestors were screaming insults at celebrities, “Let’s get rid of the Cockroaches SNSD, KARA, and DBSK. Do you think ‘Winter Sonata’ is fun? Choi Ji Woo is a thirty year old ajumma. Does it make sense that an ajumma is wearing a school uniform?”
Korean viewers have commented, “Neo Japanese Nationalists are using anti-hallyu in order to reach towards the Dokdo controversy. I’m at a loss of words,” “their toothless criticism is low-class,” “I can’t believe they actually called celebrities cockroaches.
One Japanese professor on the show had stated, “I believe that the reason these protests are occurring is because the neo Japanese nationalists unhappy about Japan are just targeting hallyu. For Korea the best way to proceed is to ignore the protests.”CR: Soompi
