The members of KARA sent over some pictures from their waiting room at a large-scale concert held in Japan’s Saitama Super Arena on November 3rd. The pictures showed off a lot more of the girls’ natural sides, in comparison to their stage image – fans, prepare to swoon over these girls’ stunning looks and cute expressions!
- “MC Gyuri“
Gyuri was one of the MCs for this event and earned many compliments for being able to speak in both Korean and Japanese. She never once put down her cue cards in the waiting room, as she rigorously rehearsed.
- “Natural Selca Seungyeon“
Seungyeon taking a picture on her own. This concert was the first time that the group revealed “Jumping“, and Seungyeon seems determined to fight off any anxiety with the fist she’s posing with.
- “Studying Goo Hara“
Hara is working hard on studying her Japanese. It’s through sheer effort like this that the girls have managed to develop their language skills.
- “Smiling Jiyoung, Nicole“
Right before they got up on stage, Nicole and Jiyoung smile brightly at one of their staff members. They look brighter than usual – perhaps it’s because they feel delighted in seeing a Korean staff member they recognize?
- “Smooth Interview”
KARA held a press conference with the Japanese press right before their performance. Like the Hallyu stars that they are, their fluent Japanese earned the praise of everyone around them.
- “Konbanwa, KARA desu~”
KARA greets their fans as they get up on stage. They each wave their hands in anticipation of their “Jumping” performance.

KARA’s Nicole for Vocamaster
Korean Electronics company Vocamaster is selling a product called the VM-100. The VM-100 is a very versatile device that can be used as a mp3 player, movie player, e-book reader, and more. However, the speciality of this device is that it has a special program that helps Korean learn English. To help endorse this device, Vocamaster recruited KARA’s beautiful member Nicole.
It was a pretty good choice to select Nicole to market this device because Nicole has excellent English speaking skills since she was born in America and spent much of her life in the States.
