Kara (Hangul: 카라, Japanese: カラ, often stylized as KARA) is a South Korean girl group signed with DSP Media (DSP). The band name Kara comes from the Greek Word "chara" (χαρά, lit. "joy"), which the group interpreted to mean "sweet melody".
Kara started as a four-member group and debuted with a "strong female" image through R&B style for their first album The First Blooming in 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 group eventually made their debut in Japan in 2010. By the end of that year, Kara was dubbed as Japan's #1 Rookie Artist of 2010 by Oricon and also received the New Artist Of The Year Award (International) from the Japan Gold Disc Awards. The group also released their first Japanese album, Girl's Talk which was eventually certified as Platinum by the RIAJ. In February 2011, Kara's "Jumping" and "Mister" singles received Platinum and double Platinum certificates, respectively, from RIAJ. In March, Kara became the first foreign female artist to top Oricon’s Composite DVD Chart and the first foreign artist to top this chart for 2 consecutive weeks. In April 2011 with their 3rd single "Jet Coaster Love", Kara became the first foreign female group since the creation of the Oricon (43 years ago) to rank #1 in the 1st week of release and the first foreign female group in 30 years to rank #1 in the charts all together. They also hold the title as the first Korean girl group to top the Oricon Weekly Single Chart. Their official fanclub is Kamilia, derived from a combination of the words "KARA" with the Latin word for family, "familia." Kara's official balloon color is pearl peach.

Me: have you listened to KARA's new song?
Friend: yes. Seungyeon rocked it
Karas are so hard to put up with. For starters she is hella sassy, dramatic as fuck, get pissed off over the slightest things, and generally has a brandy melville obsession. They are the type of person that will tell you their bday is 2 weeks earlier than the actual day and then your stupid ass posts about how much you love her but it's not even her bday. You see my dilemma?! Also they will scream like a 2 year old if you disagree that harry styles is hot. However, though a kara can be a stupid bitch that will call you in the middle of the night to rant about everything and causes you sleep deprivation; she can also be a great friend and i guess she's not an ugly crier. Either way, happy to all karas especially the one thats born on June 30th! Love you u basic bitch <3
If you are not sure if you have met a Kara. Trust me if after you talked to that person and you need some Tylenol. Then congratulations you've met a Kara! No hate towards Karas though, they're the best type of people.
love u happy bday
A Kara is a very kind-hearted girl and doesn't like to share her feelings. She is very shy and sensitive and over-all ADORABLE. She will be right there whenever you need a hug or a laugh or someone to talk to. She's usually busy but when she has time to spend with you she makes it count. 😊 She may be short but she is very strong and an amazing friend. If you have a Kara in your life never EVER let her go. She is very funny and a great actor.
