about Kara

Kara is a South Korean girl group signed with DSP Media (DSP). The band name Kara comes from the Greek Word "chara", which the group mean "sweet melody". Kara started as a four-member group and debuted with a "strong female" image through R&B tyle for their first album "The First Blooming" n 2007. In 2008, Kim Sunghee departed the group due to parental pressure, and two new members were brought in; as such, the group currently consists of five members: Park Gyuri, Han Seung-yeon, Nicole Jung, Goo Hara, and Kang Jiyoung. The addition of the two new members also faced a change in the group's original image to a "pretty but natural" appeal. The five-member band went on to achieve their first number one song with "Honey".
