Trivia
1. KARA have an official Fans club known as Kamilia (카밀리아). The meaning came from the latin word "familia" , familia means family. Kara+familia equals Kamilia! So it means kara and their fans are family. Kara holds a peach colored balloon to recognize the fans at each concert.
2. KARA is taking part in SBS's new drama ""강남엄마 따라잡기" [Kangnam Omma Darajabki]" OST. Their song's name is "Fighting", which has a lively beat & fun melody, bringing a fresh feeling to audiences. Member Kim Sunghee has participated in Three-leaf clover OST, but this the first time all KARA members have joined together.
3. Recently KARA is being compared with another girlband named Wonder Girls. KARA said that the comparison could be good for both of groups, it helps them become more mature and they hope that they would be compared by their talents instead of age similarity.
