KARA to hold fan meeting next month

KARA [DSP Media]

Girl group KARA will meet with their fans in Korea next month, the first time since resolving an internal conflict which had put a halt to their activities back home for several months.

A press release by their agency DSP Media announced Wednesday that the K-pop quintet will hold an official fan meeting at Seoul's Jamsil Indoor Stadium on the evening of June 11.

The event will be held in the format of a mini-concert through which KARA will thank fans for their continued love and support as well as confess the feelings they have held within them, DSP explained.

This alludes to the fact that they will address the turmoil the group went through from when members Han Seungyeon, Kang Jiyoung and Nicole Jung declared they would split from DSP in January till when they decided to stay with the agency, just late last month.

KARA had halted their activities in Korea during that time so the meet-and-greet will mainly be for their fans in Korea although fans from Japan may also be in attendance.

The girls had continued to promote themselves as KARA in Japan where they have become the most successful female K-pop group.

Most recently, they became the first foreign female group in the Oricon's 43-year history to top the prestigious chart in the first week of releasing a single with their third Japanese single "JET COASTER LOVE."
