2nd Gen K-Pop Quintet KARA Announces Full Group Comeback
In South Korea and Japan for their 15th anniversary.
Second-generation K-pop group KARA is making a full group comeback in celebration of their 15th anniversary.
All five members — Seungyeon, Gyuri, Youngji, Nicole and Jiyoung — will be reuniting to release their anniversary album titled Move Again, marking their first release in seven years since their seventh mini-album In Love. This is the first time all five musicians are coming together after Nicole and Jiyoung left the group in 2014.
Move Again is described to be a love letter from KARA to their fans, who have shown support for the group throughout the years. In addition to the release of the record, the group will be launching a Japanese version of the album, followed by a meet-and-greet tour in Osaka, Fukuoka and Tokyo kicking off on February 23, 2023.
For those unfamiliar, KARA first debuted in 2007 with original members Gyuri, Seungyeon, Seonghee and Nicole. The year after, Seonghee left the group, while Hara and Jiyoung joined. In 2014, Jiyoung and Nicole departed and Youngji joined as the group’s newest member. Some of their biggest hits include “Lupin,” “Jumping,” “Honey” and “Pretty Girl.”
This would be the first time KARA reunites as a group after former member Goo Hara was found dead in her home in Seoul in 2019, leaving the K-pop industry in shock.
See the announcement down below. KARA’s 15th anniversary album Move Again will release on November 29.
