KARA’s First Solo Concert is Huge Success




Girl group KARA has successfully finished their first ever solo concert in Korea.

The concert, which was called “KARASIA,” was held on February 18th at 6 PM at the Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium in Seoul. It was KARA’s first solo concert since the group debuted 5 years ago.

The girls began their show with their song “Step.” Afterwards, they performed a total of 33 of their songs, including hits such as “Wanna,” “Jumping,” “Secretly, Secretly,” “Date,” and “With.”

After the opening number, Park Gyuri greeted the fans, “Welcome to everyone who has come to the concert. We were a bit worried because the weather was cold, but we’re glad that so many of you came. Thank you very much.“

During the concert, each of the KARA members treated their fans to a special solo performance. The girls each took the utmost care to put together a perfect performance for their fans. Thus, they participated in every step of the process, including selecting the wardrobe, directing, and producing.

KARA’s leader Park Gyuri was the first member to hit the stage for her solo performance. Gyuri entered the stage wearing a red dress and began to dance the tango with a male dancer. Once the male dancer left the stage, she broke into a sad song about a girl’s pain of being left by her lover. The performance was similar to a musical and was fitting to Gyuri’s strong vocal talent.

After Gyuri, Han Seungyeon appeared on stage in an adorable dress that made her look like she stepped straight out of a fairy tale. She sang the song “Super Star” from the soundtrack of the drama “Mary Stayed Out All Night.”

Nicole performed a rock version remake of Michael Jackson‘s “Beat It.” Fans were surprised to see such a strong and charming performance from Nicole, since she is typically viewed as cutesy. In particular, fans were delighted as Nicole perfectly mimicked Jackson’s signature moonwalk dance and his step dance.

Goo Hara caught the attention of all her male fans as she poured her lovely charm into her song while suspended in the air wearing a pink mini-dress.

Finally, KARA’s youngest member, Kang Jiyoung transformed KARA’s song “Umbrella” into a sweet ballad as she sang an acoustic version of the song.

The concert lasted for 2 hours and included songs from their debut album up to their latest Japanese albums. For the encore performance, the girls sang “Pretty Girl,” “Girls Be Ambition,” and “Rock U.” The fans were treated to a special night where they were able to see new sides to each of the KARA members.

KARA is now preparing for their Asian tour which will begin in April.
