KARA, revision 3.0

Young KPOP band. Not the new 2009-wave band but One of my favorites. Waiting for their new activities (esp. PVs).

Very interesting, pretty, young and energetic.

rev. 3.0: added new PVs (HQ), also LIVE ones in 1080p.

"Pretty girl" PV totally reminds me Lee Hyolee style, they copy many things including glasses from Hyolee "U go girl". But this style is good in any case for all group members. Other PVs also fine.

Latest I have is "Wanna" video, very good one.

Check(original members):

Wiki: They debuted as a 4-member girl group on March 29, 2007 with "Break It" on M! Countdown. Their first album was called The First Blooming. They made two music videos from this album: "Break It" and "If U Wanna". Because of their similarity to Fin.K.L and the fact that both were under the same company, the two were often compared; in response, Kara stated that they wanted to work hard enough to deserve the comparison.

On November 29, 2008, DSP Entertainment released a teaser video for their upcoming single, "Pretty Girl", which received over 10,000 hits in one day. The full video was released on December 2, 2008 online and was positively received by the public, while the EP was released on December 4.

Due to the hectic promotional schedule, a few of the group's members were taken to the hospital on December 19 after a KBS Music Bank rehearsal!

Revolution was revealed in June that the group would return in late July 2009, with their concept to be "upgraded".

Their single "Wanna" was released on July 28, 2009. The song quickly charted on various digital music charts. Due to the popularity of the song, Kara's overall popularity increased, with numerous advertisement requests coming in for the group; they had more advertisements in October 2009 than the previous two years.

On August 30, 2009, "Wanna" won the "Mutizen Song" award from SBS's Inkigayo music program.

PVs (mostly HQ):
