KARA's Park Gyuri and Goo Hara say, "We want to hold a concert in Tokyo Dome someday."

Recently, the members of KARA performed at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan, for the special KBS Music Bank "KPOP Festival" concert on July 13th. Park Gyuri and Goo Hara were two of the three special MCs along with Hyunwoo for the concert in addition to being performers that night. According to an interview with KBS, they said, "We felt really nervous when we looked at the huge stage. KARA wants to hold a solo concert at the Tokyo Dome someday."

Park Gyuri said, "It is a great honor for me to stand on this stage of the Tokyo Dome, and moreover, I feel really happy that I am hosting the concert as an MC. I think that I have to do my best to try to hold KARA’s concert at this place someday. I have always said that my final destination was performing at the Tokyo Dome, so now I feel pressure about our performance. The stage is really huge, and I think that I need a louder voice."

"I always feel happy when all five of our members stand on stage together. People seem to like to watch all five of us together. I will try to enjoy our performance on the stage for our fans," said Goo Hara. At the beginning of the year, KARA went through a controversy when three of the members (Nicole, Seungyeon, Jiyoung) sued DSP Media and the group were on the verge of disbandment. However, KARA overcame their problems along with their agency and recently started up activities as a five-member group again.

When asked about their popularity in Japan, Park Gyuri answered, "When I look at the music charts, I can realize our popularity. I began studying Japanese with a light heart, but I have come to study harder as peoples' anticipation gets larger. As our Japanese fans like us, I have come to think that I have to speak Japanese better. We have more activities in Japan, so our Korean fans may feel sad, but they still cheer for us. So I think that I always have to do my best for our fans everywhere."

Fifteen Korean artists participated in the KBS Music Bank "KPOP Festival" concert on July 13th including TVXQ, KARA, SNSD, 2PM, BEAST, 4minute, U-KISS, IU, Baek Jiyoung, Secret, Rainbow, Infinite, Park Hyun-bin, Rania, and X-5. All 45,000 tickets were sold out for the one day concert.
