KARA's albums released in Japan and Korea are doing well! An "unusual case" of ranking high in both countries
Girl group KARA has swept the top of the album charts in Japan and Korea at the same time.
KARA's fourth full-length album "Full Bloom", which made its comeback in Korea after a year, rose to No. 1 on the Hunter Chart daily chart.
It topped the charts for four consecutive days, getting off to a good start in the first week of its comeback.
In addition, KARA's fourth full-length Japanese album "Fantastic Girl", released on August 28, also ranked third on the Oricon weekly album chart.
This was achieved without any separate local promotions after the album's release.
Each full-length album simultaneously swept the top of the Japanese album sales chart, demonstrating their popularity.
KARA's online live broadcast of their Korean comeback showcase, where they debuted their new song "Damaged Lady," was watched by 50,000 simultaneous viewers from 39 countries around the world, including Hong Kong, Singapore, and the UK, proving that they are the "representative K-pop girl group."
KARA successfully completed the first broadcast of their new song "Damaged Lady" on Mnet's "M Countdown" on the 5th of this month, and will begin full-scale comeback activities through various music programs.

When I came home from work, my neighbor Tobi was unlocking his bike in the yard and getting ready to go out.
As I was backing my car into the garage, Karas opened the window and called out to me.
"How about tomorrow night?"
I tilted my glass and made the gesture of drinking. Tobi looked disappointed.
"My colleague took a sudden day off. It's not possible. Maybe next week."
"Okay."
Crow parked his car and went home.
He took an energy drink out of the fridge and was starting up his computer when he got an email on his cell phone.
--KARA's new song, "Damaged Lady," is pretty good. I watched it on YouTube today. I guess the keyword for an office-related song is a slightly cheeky woman...?
Crow grabbed his cell phone and went outside. He thought he would talk to Tobi if he was still there.
But Tobi and his bike were nowhere to be found.
He works in Tokyo. He thought he would still be there, but it seems he was heading to the station.
He had no choice but to send him an email.
--I've already watched it. I agree. But I'm a little concerned that he's thrown away his cuteness and started to develop what you call a tough guy side. Of course, he won't be staying here long.
--...
When I got back to my room and listened to KARA's music, I got another email from Tobi.
--Thanks to you, you introduced me to a lot of different groups. There were some that I got tired of, but I started listening to KARA even when I was alone. It's scary how you can be forced to listen to something (laughs). I don't know if it was because of that, but I discovered (Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's) music and got into the habit of listening to a lot of different music. Did you know? She's pretty good too (laughs).
I grinned.
Tobi would often send me emails from the train on the way to Tokyo (mostly self-indulgent literary theories).
However, ever since I switched from my cell phone to a smartphone, these messages had completely stopped.
I'd known him for decades, but Tobi wasn't a person who was obsessed with music. He had never talked to me about music first.
And then he started sending me emails like this.
Even though I told him about various groups, I only used K-pop girl groups as background music for drinking parties.
At first, he was puzzled by the music of KARA and Girls' Generation, but he soon developed likes and dislikes, and began to show interest in KARA, Girls' Generation, and T-ARA.
Recently, he's mostly been watching the Discovery Channel on cable TV.
I thought he'd forgotten about KARA and Girls' Generation.
Has he finally realized how good K-pop is after switching to a smartphone?
He went on YouTube and watched some music by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.
As he watched it along with KARA, he started to think, "Am I going to keep listening to this kind of music forever?"
He closed YouTube and sent Tobi a message.
--Keep it moderate. When you get obsessed like me, you'll never have enough time (laughs). ★Related Articles
KARA Hara's attitude debate...Netizens have a "cold reaction" to explanations from screenwriters Yoon Jong Shin and Kim Tae Hee
The debate over KARA Hara's attitude continues.
Appearing on MBC's "Golden Fishery - Radio Star" broadcast in Korea on the 4th, Hara expressed her anger at MC Super Junior's Kyuhyun, who tried to expose her past relationships by calling her a "love idol," and threw a plastic bottle at him. She even shed tears.
Jiyeon shed tears when MC Kim Gura requested her to "show her aegyo," saying "I won't." Immediately after the broadcast, netizens pointed out that their behavior was a bit excessive and raised an "attitude debate."
