KARA'S Disbandment

Okay, I JUST found out that my goddesses- KARA, disbanded.

NO. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING! They have been going on so strong! I've been such a big fan! I love all the songs from OT5 and Mamma Mia and Cupid were amazing too! I've supported everything the group did- and now there is no longer a group. I just can't believe it.

Kara is an unforgettable group. They had worldwide hits like Lupin, Mister, and Step. They're legends in the kpop world! I literally watched so many variety shows just to see Kara.

 

Now, here's the sitch:

From the information in this article by Yonhap, I got that members Goo Hara, Park Gyuri, and Han Seungyeon left DSP Media to pursue other areas. Newest member, Heo Youngji is the only member who remains at DSP and is apparently going to pursue a solo career while with DSP.

Rumors have been that the trio has been searching for companies since late 2015. I'm pretty sure the separation isn't because the members have been feuding- There's probs something going down at DSP. Just about 2 months ago, April member Somin made the decision to leave the group after "long discussions". The original lineup had Kim Sunghee, who left a year after debut. And lets not forget Jiyoung and Nicole who left the group back in 2014 to pursue their solo careers. side note: "AGHHH I MISS OT5!"

 

"So what happens now?"

• Goo Hara- Hara is nowadays more active in Japan and China. And apparently the singer/actress signed an exclusive contract with KeyEast entertainment!
• Han Seungyeon- Seungyeon is now signed under Widmay Entertainment to further pursue her acting career.
• Park Gyuri- She's been rather silent with her future activities.... Hmm...

"What about Youngji?"

Youngji is still with DSP Media and is reportedly going to pursue a solo career. I know our Youngji mushroom must be going through a tough time. She just got out into the kpop world, being afraid of being overshadowed by her unnies. And now with the group disbanding must be a huge shock to even herself. So, lets give all our love to support our mushroom with her future activities!

 

KARA will always be one of my fav kpop groups ever! Every member was and is so special- I love them all for their own unique personalities. And I'll always support all former members no matter what they pursue! One thing that will never change is that I'll ALWAYS be a KAMILIA!!! <3

 

Let's take a trip down memory lane-

I'm just so shocked right now. Let's just support our goddesses with their future activities! <3









Miss Universe 2015 Controversy:

I'm sure many of you were watching the Miss Universe 2015 pageant last night. My mum and I were anxiously watching to see if Miss Malaysia made it in this year- gotta root for our homeland! But, unfortunately she didn't even make it to the Top 15. :( But, everyone who did make it to the Top 15 were definitely worthy of being there.

At the very end, Miss Philippines, Miss USA, and Miss Colombia were at the Top 3. Miss USA took home 2nd runner up. And Miss Philippines and Miss Colombia were the possible candidates of becoming the next Miss Universe.

Both countries had HUGE fanbases. All throughout the show, you could hear avid fans shouting "Philippines!" or "Colombia!" And whenever each contestant got called to be in the next round you could catch glimpses of the many supporters there were for both countries.

Miss Colombia won Miss Universe 2014, and many Colombians were hoping that the glory would return to their country once again. Miss Philippines supporters were very excited when Miss Philippines made it into the Top 3. It's been over 45 years since The Philippines had won Miss Universe!

When it was time to announce the winner, host Steve Harvey announced Miss Colombia as the next Miss Universe. Meaning, Miss Philippines had won 1st Runner up. The former Miss Universe also from Colombia proudly embraced this year's Miss Colombia for her hard work. Miss Colombia was crowned and got to take her first steps as Miss Universe 2015.

However, Steve Harvey re-enters the scene. I thought he was going to ask "Miss Colombia, how does it feel to bring back another win for Colombia?" Instead, he apologizes and says he crowned the wrong girl. Miss Colombia, didn't realize what was happening. Miss Colombia still oblivious to the scene was still waving to the fans. Steve Harvey then announces that Miss Philippines was the true winner of the Miss Universe 2015 pageant.



Miss Colombia fans in shock. Miss Philippines fans and Miss Philippines herself did not know how to react. It was a very tough position to be in.

Now to be honest, I felt Miss Philippines would be a better Miss Universe than Miss Colombia. And I was shocked to hear the first outcome. The final question that was asked was, "Why should you be the next Miss Universe?" Miss Colombia gave an answer saying she had the feminine qualities that a Miss Universe should have. Miss Philippines said something along the lines with having the Miss Universe title comes great responsibility and she would take that power to address the issues present in her country.  Despite, Miss Colombia having amazing looks, (some netizens saying Miss Colombia resembles popular Colombian actress Sofia Vergara) I felt that the Philippines had better responses and is what my family calls a "good talker". And I feel Miss Universe shouldn't just have good looks but, also to be a great responder to the problems our world faces- and in my personal feeling Miss Philippines does more than fulfill those categories.

The former Miss Universe was shocked as well and had to take the crown off Miss Colombia's head and give the crown to the new Miss Universe 2015- Miss Philippines. Audience members begin to ''boo" this occurrence. And I thought "wtf are they doing?" Okay, I understand Miss Colombia fans are a bit angered that something like this could happen. And host Steve Harvey apologizes multiple times, saying he misread the card and it's a mistake on his part. Heck, he's still apologizing today. But, imagine how Miss Philippines must've been feeling during this. And the audience wasn't helping. She couldn't turn it down because, her country is counting on her. And she couldn't accept it with happiness due to this one mistake. But, I admit it must've been so sad for Miss Colombia finally reaching glory only to have it taken away. But, netizens shouldn't be hating on Steve Harvey. Mistakes happen despite how clear the card was. And netizens should definitely not be hating against Miss Philippines. She's going to make a great Miss Universe. Saying she "stole the crown." Just omfg. Both ladies are beautiful and handled the situation with grace- something I know I would've never been able to do if I were in their spots.

But, nonetheless this topic has been blowing up overnight on social media. What do you think about the controversy?
