Kara is a name of at least four artists. 1) A romanisation of 카라, a popular South Korean girl group, with members: Park Gyuri (Leader), Han Seungyeon, Jung Nicole, Kang Jiyoung, Goo Hara They were formed by DSP Entertainment. Debuting in 2007 with the single "Break It" and the album "The First Blooming", they were originally a four member group, until former lead singer Kim Sunghee left, in February of 2008. Soon after, she was replaced by new members Goo Hara and Kang Jiyoung, resulting in a five member group.

Throughout 2008 they released 2 mini-albums and 3 singles; "Rock U", "Pretty Girl", and "Honey", all of which showcased a new, cuter image. "Honey" in particular was their biggest success yet, and became their first #1 when it topped the M.Net M! Countdown. The song also won the Mutizen award on SBS's "Popular Songs" program. In July of 2009, they returned with their second full studio album "Revolution", which showcased a new "upgraded" concept.

Lead single "Wanna" was an instant success, topping various online charts. The second single from the album, "Mister", was an even bigger success due to a certain part of the choreography nicknamed the "butt dance" which caught on with the public. In 2010, they changed once again, this time to a "darker", more mature concept for their third mini-album "Lupin". On March 4, 2010, Kara won their first #1 award for "Lupin" on M! Countdown. ...show less
