KARA Completes First Fanmeeting in Japan in Eight Years

KARA, the "Korean Wave Queen," successfully completed the Japanese fan meeting amid enthusiastic cheers from local fans.

The agency RBW and DSP Media announced that KARA successfully held the Japanese fan meeting "KARA 15TH ANNIVERSARY FAN MEETING 2023~MOVE AGAIN~" to commemorate the 15th anniversary of their debut in Osaka, Japan, on the 23rd.

This fan meeting was meaningful to both members and fans as it was the first meeting in about eight years since KARA's 2015 KAMILIA FESTIVAL in Tokyo, Japan, in 2015. KARA's fan meeting, which was held in three Japanese cities, sold out immediately after the start of the reservation, and boasted the still popularity of "Hallyu Queen" KARA, while the second fan meeting in Yokohama was also broadcast live online.

On this day, KARAheated up the atmosphere on the scene by opening with the title song "WHEN I MOVE" from their Japanese album "MOVE AGAIN" to commemorate the 15th anniversary of their debut. The five members entertained fans with a variety of events that allowed them to breathe closer to the fans, from the recent talk that fans were curious about.

There was also a mini live. KARA excited fans by singing "Shout It Out" and "Happy Hour" from "MOVE AGAIN" live, including all the hit songs such as "Step" and "Mr." In particular, KARAgave fans a deep impression by selecting a song that encompasses KARA's history, such as selecting "Promise" from their fourth full-length Japanese album "Fantastic Girls."

At the end of the fan meeting, Park Gyuri said, "I was able to come back to KARA because of the fans. Wherever we are, KARA exists thanks to you who support us. I hope you can stay with us for a long time. We will also try to be your strength", Han Seungyeon said. "It was an incredibly happy and dreamlike time. I will continue to move forward with the memories given by fans."

Nicole then said, "As KARA, I'm so happy to meet fans again. I really wanted to say thank you to Camilla. Thank you for remembering us and waiting for us, so we were able to come back to the stage," Kang Jiyoung said. "I'm indescribably happy to be able to gather in KARA again like this now. I think I can always remember this moment and work hard. I look forward to working with KARAin the future."

Finally, Heo Youngji said, "I feel more precious every day that is going by these days. I will never forget the time I spent with fans at this fan meeting. Thanks to you, we could have all these moments. Thank you for making me feel that I am a precious person and for making me happy today."
