When I was asked to perform at the Tokyo Dome performance, I thought it was amazing. It was even more emotional as it was the first time for a Korean female idol to perform at Tokyo Dome.



The morning of the performance, we were rehearsing, but I was worried, ``Will the seats really be filled?Will there be that many people?'' But then I saw the audience seats packed, and I was filled with emotion. I'm really grateful that 45,000 people know our songs and spend their time with us.

I cried a lot when I made the last comment. I was grateful to the fans and members for being able to perform at Tokyo Dome in such a short period of time, after three years. I really wanted to meet the president. She really wanted to see this. I was filled with a lot of mixed emotions.



Also, Seungyoung unnie said that the five of us should hug each other on stage at Tokyo Dome, which we don't know when we will be able to do it again. We all hugged each other and cried loudly. I think the fans cried a lot at that time.



And I decided to try harder so that I could perform at Tokyo Dome two or three times ^^

★ I watched the Tokyo Dome performance on YouTube. There was a lot of excitement.
"I don't know when I'll be able to do it again..."
All five of them hugged each other and cried.



--This moment is the best, I'm happy!



Even among Japanese idols, only a group as popular as AKB would be able to perform at Tokyo Dome. This is an episode that clearly conveys how deeply moved I was. The only girl group that can perform here would be Girls' Generation in K-pop. They have accomplished something difficult.



KARA's unspoken story



Gyuri's
6th anniversary of her debut. Unlike her 5th anniversary, it feels like something more. I guess you could say I've become a little more mature. However, I think people will like me when I do something that is most ``KARA-like'' rather than doing something that doesn't suit me due to an overly bold transformation.


KARA has a “KARA-ness”. Even when they do sexy things, they have a KARA-like sexiness, and the cute concepts have a cuteness that is unique to KARA. In our upcoming activities, we would like to show the healthy side of KARA. Even if you show the same appearance as when you debuted, there must be something that has clearly improved since then. To be more specific, I will make sure that I can stand up in front of people as a grown-up person after suffering deeply ^^


★As expected from AB type, Gyuri's analysis is calm and accurate. KARA is KARA, whether she is cute or sexy. It's a color (?) that's unique to KARA. I hope they will continue to go with the flow and not lose their KARA identity.


Seungyoung's
When I searched for Sukbin (Seungyoung's character name in the drama), I found a lot of harsh opinions about me. I think it would have been really difficult in the early stages of my debut. But now I can laugh a little more. Partly because I've become immune to it, but I've learned to accept it.


Of course I would be lying if I said it doesn't hurt, but I used to cry every day. However, as time has passed, it seems that they have become more lenient in some areas. When someone says something terrible or bad to me, I think, "Well, you might think that in your situation." Now I can understand it.


I also felt a greater sense of responsibility. Before, I used to think, ``Why isn't it just me?'', but now I feel like it's my responsibility to shoulder this burden as well. It's because I made a mistake, so I have to try harder.


★ It is said that she is competing against Kim Tae Hee in the role of a villain... I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of acting she does...


Nicole's
★Diet advice!
1. Avoid white foods!
Switching to grains or brown rice instead of white rice will make you healthier and will have a great effect on weight loss.
2. Light stretching!
It's almost summer, so your clothes will be thinner, right? It's also a good idea to continue doing light stretches every day. Even if you do it lightly, it will move your muscles and be effective.
3. Have about 2 types of side dishes with your rice!
It is said that eating only one or two types of side dishes when eating rice can lower salt intake and be more effective for dieting.
4. Footbath!
I recently started taking foot baths. I used to take a half-body bath. I started doing this because I tend to have cold hands and feet, and it seems to help with stretching, and I feel like it improves blood circulation.


★ Rather than dieting, she seems to be quite concerned about her health. I don't hear many stories about her getting injured and her body being destroyed, but I wonder if she's usually a healthy girl...?


Jiyoung's
I have a friend who doesn't need words. It's called "94 Line", but it's f(x)'s Sulli and Krystal, miss A Suzy, 4Minute's Seohyun, and SISTAR Dasom. I started working at the age of 15 and didn't have time to hang out with friends, but everyone really gives me strength. I would also like to thank each of you for supporting me in different ways. I can feel that my friends rely on me too, so it's a win-win as we support each other during difficult times! I can feel everyone growing up.


Everyone is so busy that it's difficult to get everyone together, but we did get together for my birthday earlier this year. Of course, not everyone was there then. Each person has different concerns and experiences depending on the group they belong to. But everyone seems to understand. We had a wonderful time listening to each other's stories and discussing our concerns. It's really nice to have friends who do the same job. There are things that I can relate to. Besides my celebrity friends, I have two friends that I like the most. Lee Jin Hee and Yoo Chan Hyuk who I trust and rely on! It's nice to be able to talk to them about other things and hear about other lives.


I want to be a friend who can be trusted, a "good friend." I hope my friends can be as happy with me as I am with them ^^


★Jiyeon, along with Hara, greatly contributed to the growth of the new KARA. She is already 19 years old. She has been running at full speed through her long high school days. It's like the word "growth" is reserved for her. As the youngest member who holds the key to KARA's ups and downs, she is always in the spotlight.


Hara's
Actually, since my debut, I have never had the time to do it. Now is the time when I have the most leeway and can stabilize myself with my free time. Before, even if I knew what was missing, I didn't have the time to fill it.


Even though I knew there was a shortage, I didn't have the time to make up for it, which made me very sad. I think it's good that I now have a stable amount of time to study what I'm missing or to fill in the gaps. I continue to take acting lessons, exercise, and read books.


Up until now, I have received support that was louder than my ability, and I was able to come this far with that strength, and thanks to that, I was able to endure these five years. I think it's time to introduce something new. I am in the process of filling in a lot of myself. Of course, studying doesn't mean that you'll become your own right away, but I feel like I can do my best like a newbie. I will take the time to myself to find what I really like, and when the opportunity arises, I will do my best to seize it and do it!


★ Just like Jiyoung, Hara holds the key to KARA's ups and downs. She has not had the luxury of looking aside for the past two or three years. Rather than having her time here, it seems like she has become more relaxed. She continues to take acting and singing lessons while also reading her books. Although she still has a baby face, her adult face is starting to show through. It looks like her range of activities will continue to expand from now on.
