KARA's website showed that the girls will take the stage at the Olympic Gymnasium in Seoul for their two day concert called "KARASIA" starting February 18.

KARA, composed of members Gu Hara, Han Seung-yeon, Park Gyu-lee, Kang Ji-young and Nicole, released a number of singles and albums featuring hit songs such as "Pretty Girl," "Mister," "Lupin" and "STEP" since their debut in 2007.

They are also one of the most successful Korean girl groups to break into the Japanese music market, having their singles and albums place within the top five of the prestigious Oricon chart and earning platinum and gold statuses.

In the meantime, KARA is preparing to take part in NHK's 62nd music special "Red & White Song Battle" along with TVXQ and Girls' Generation which will take place on December 31 as well as other year end ceremonies in Japan.
