April, 25 Jiyoung solo and MV. May, 30 Seungyeon solo and MV. June, 27 Hara solo and MV . July, 25 Nicole solo and MV. August, 29 Gyuri solo and MV. Comeback album maybe in late September.
And so I begin to work on my time machine... July is way too fuckin far away what the hell why space it out so much, I know the albums are all already ready... arrgggg.
This is really good hype tho, DSP you so clever...And evil...
I completely agree with Dystopia. I think I mentioned something about Ailee a while back how I thought she missed something that would make her a successful solo act and then comparing her to every Kara member Ailee wins. Don't mind Kara but I see the solo thing as a bad idea.

Disagree with the Ailee not having it thing.
She had a good single this time, so there's no reason for her not to be doing well. The real test is to see if her next single hits, but if it doesn't that's probably the last you'll see of her unless she delivers an album with it.

Did you hear their solos at KARASIA ? And if so, were you not impressed by them ?
After hearing HSY's and Nicole's I have no doubt that their solo promotions will be fantastic. Gyuri has a good voice technically but I don't like the tone of it so that is a preference thing, same goes for Jiyoung tho her voice is not as great as the others. And obviously HARA's bad.
But yeah I mean I was thoroughly convinced and impressed by HSY's performance in particular. I understand if they are not of your preference but to say that they don't have the voices to do some solo songs after these performances I don't understand.
Can anyone tell me the name of this song? It's kind of hard for me to describe it considering I don't speak Korean, and I don't know the name. But the song the song is fairly mainstream as far as I know, considering I've heard it on many SC2 streams in the last year or so. The song is sung by a man with a very mature voice and the chorus lyrics translation equates to something along the lines of "The best part about me is you" or something along those lines. Can anyone help me?

Agreed. Unless HSY does a ballad song sitting down on a stool or standing there being an angel or something. I'd watch that.
Step MV Nicole version is lacking a lot... Not well done at all imo + I didn't like her heavy makeup in the MV... Anyways, here it is.
They aren't going solo; DSP is milking the hell out of splitting the members up briefly. There's a big difference.
You can easily have one successful single because of the group's popularity. As long as they don't try to sustain it for a long period of time (which they certainly don't seem to be doing as they're spacing about 1 month apart), it will work.
