Kara isn’t going to give up “cute”

kara_20090620

Get with the times, ladies!

With all the girl groups in Korea showing their stuff for the summer, girl group Kara isn’t going to miss out on the action. Having just come off their activities for “Honey” in April, the girls are already working on their next album to be released sometime mid-July. Of course, DSP Entertainment aren’t complete slave drivers *cough*, so the girls were allowed a little vacation break in Japan, as illustrated in the photos below from an early June entry of Nicole’s minihompy, before rushing them back to the studios.

Kara is currently in the studios recording their July comeback. A DSP representative stated, “the members are individually spending their personal time recording and practicing at a reasonable pace. Two songs are at the stages of completion.” While some artists take several months or even years to produce an album, Kara can apparently just pump them out like hot cakes. Guess you have to do a rush job, when the masses are craving some bubblegum pop.

The representative also went on to say, “This album’s vibe is going to be a lot different from the previous albums.” What does that mean? Well, it doesn’t mean that Kara is going to embrace the sexy, bold street trend that is popular right now. DSP has explicitly stated that, although their style will change, Kara will maintain their “cute and charming” image. So I guess if you’re tired of the wannabe gangsta chicks and booty shakers, you will still have the feminine whimsy of Kara.

Kara may not be hip with it, but they sure are consistent.

    SNSD is going to PWN them again, except on mnet of course.

    So if they’re changing their style and not their image, how’s the new album supposed to look/sound?

  5. 6 k... June 21, 2009 at 3:11 pm

    I am sick of “wannabe gangsta chicks”

      I only hear two people singing and this sounds nothing like the preview that came out a while ago

    • 13 Miko June 21, 2009 at 5:31 pm

      Wait, that’s not them singing. That’s a cover you idiot

    • 15 smile taurus June 21, 2009 at 5:49 pm

      huh?? Does this even concern the article?

    • 16 LOLWTF June 21, 2009 at 6:05 pm

      Thats a cover, and I see you spamming it on other sites aswell. goaway

    • 17 =] June 21, 2009 at 10:25 pm

      this isnt the version the english version comes out on the 27th

    • 18 Kaybee June 22, 2009 at 6:43 am

      OMG! The pitch of the lead singer made my ears bleed… Whoever sang it…well…she/they can sing but have no control over her/their voice(s), flow and pitch… It was so painful to hear, so definitely a bad cover…

      I actually thought it’s the real thing but after few seconds of listening…I knew they couldn’t be this bad or JYP would have done something to digitally modified their voices…lol..

  7. 19 wow June 21, 2009 at 5:24 pm

    ^Meh Some part will need to be subtitled to be understood.

  8. 20 nsj064 June 21, 2009 at 6:12 pm

    yeay!! go kara!!
    har and seung yeon r so cute! luv ncole btw!
    watever style it is, i’ll still support KARA!

  9. 22 LOVE June 21, 2009 at 6:47 pm

    I think that the “cute” image matches well for kara.
    I think they should stick to it or people are gonna say that they are copying other female groups.

  10. 23 Jessica June 21, 2009 at 7:37 pm

    It’s a good strategy because a loth of the girls that coming out right now have almost the same style.

  11. 25 XiahJunsooLover June 21, 2009 at 8:44 pm

    well, who kmows if KARA might pump out some real hits, pawning all other girl groups??? LOL …. yea, doubt that =(
    *no offense, kara’s fans*

    Seung Yeon and Nicole <3

  15. 29 minHo_dbsk June 22, 2009 at 1:54 am

    2NE1 girls are the best!! Kara is crap

  16. 30 Nick June 22, 2009 at 3:16 am

    What’s wrong is being cute at their age? I think it’s normal esp for asian girls to be cute or normal, instead of acting slutty or gangster.

  17. 31 Dovey June 22, 2009 at 6:44 am

    In the top most picture, the 2nd girl and the 5th girl have like the exact same hairstyle. O_o If their faces looked a tad bit more alike, they could be twins. LoL

  18. 32 lara June 22, 2009 at 9:49 am

    Yay Nicole <3

    beyond adorable.

  19. 33 JJ June 22, 2009 at 9:58 am

    They were always cute weren’t they?

  20. 34 rine_cass June 22, 2009 at 11:27 am

    they look cute…,,

    but how if they change their image?????

  21. 35 Kuaci June 22, 2009 at 11:59 am

    Yayy! I <3 KARA! They will be the cute ones, coz the others follow 2ne1 style.. It will be great they dont copy 2ne1 style..
    Nicole! <333

  22. 36 tutifruitz June 22, 2009 at 12:09 pm

    who cares if they stay cute! it works for them and i’m not sure if they can carry off the sexy concept….

  23. 37 Kay June 22, 2009 at 12:40 pm

    They should stick to cute, esp when SNSD is out of cute. It really works for KARA.

    But I think some of Kara can really carry off sexy: Nicole, Gyuri and Sunghee(old mem), SeungYeon is a maybe, and the other two – really really not sure.

  24. 38 Haaa . June 22, 2009 at 1:46 pm

    haaa, KARA is going to get their ass pwned if they release this at the same time as GG releases “Tell Me Your Wish”

  25. 39 dedee June 22, 2009 at 1:47 pm

    LOL, honestly, GET WITH THE TIMES KARA!
    Their cute image isn’t going to last them very long.

  26. 40 bass June 22, 2009 at 1:59 pm

    agreed with dedee. and kara has quite limited talent imo. they always sing the same type of songs and all of them seem to have the same voices, how are they supposed to look “talented” and different that way?
    being genuinely cute and acting cute is two different things. kara does alot of the latter.
    if not for nicole, i doubt i would bother much abt this group.

  27. 41 yan June 22, 2009 at 3:18 pm

    not a big fan, but if they don’t change to the hipper look now, sooner they’ll be too old for the cute and will want to change, and they’ll just be too late.

  28. 42 Katy June 22, 2009 at 7:16 pm

    as everyone is moving on…
    they can stick to cute

  29. 43 angie June 23, 2009 at 10:03 am

    They should have stuck to their original style (the one they debuted with).

  30. 44 Piinii June 23, 2009 at 2:33 pm

    Are you guys forgetting that KARA’s makne, Kang Ji Young is only 15? If they go sexy now, they’ll get negative respond, esp. Ji Young. I remember Minzy from 2ne1, same age as Ji Young and she did that chest poppin’ thing, Minzy did get negative responds.

    yay.!~~kara~~!
