KARA has grabbed their first win on "Music Bank" with their latest dance tune.

KARA’s “PANDORA" claimed the No. 1 spot on last Friday’s "Music Bank," beating off international sensation PSY’s “Gangnam Style.”

Before stepping onto the stage, the members of KARA vowed to dance on bare feet if they grab the trophy that evening.

After "PANDORA" was announced as the song of the week by the two emcees, Lee Jang-woo and UIE, KARA kept their promise by showing PSY's horse-riding dance for their encore performance.

Composed of Gu Hara, Han Seung-yeon, Park Gyu-lee, Kang Ji-young and Nicole, KARA is currently one of the most successful Korean girl groups that has broken into the Japanese music market.

Last Friday’s show also featured performances by ZE:A, Phantom, AOA, VIXX, Rumble Fish and TASTY.
