Hee-yeol : Here with us today is 5 beautiful ladies of Kara.
Kara : Hello, this is Kara.
Hee-yeol : When Yoon-ha was on the show, Kara was here as our special guest. Since you’re here today as our official guest, can each of you introduce yourselves?
Ji-young : Hi, I’m Ji-young, the youngest member of Kara. I’m so happy to be here, and looking forward to the show today. Thanks!
Nicole : Hi, I’m Nicole. Thank you for watching our performance with bright smiles on your faces.
Gyu-ri : Hello. I’m Gyuri, the leader of Kara. Like Nicole mentioned, I’d like to thank you for encouraging our performance with your bright smiles. Hope you enjoy the show!
Seung-yeon : Helllo, everyone. I’m Seung-yeon. I noticed that you shouted in the beginning and end of “Pandora” but sat quietly during the middle. Pop stars like us could use a lot of shouts to stay motivated. Thank you, everyone!
Ha-ra : Hello. I’m Ha-ra. As this is our first time on Sketchbook, I hope to have a blast with all of you today. Thank you!
Hee-yeol : I guarantee you’ll have a blast today. To be honest, Kara’s special appearance on the show was a very eventful day in my life. For those who didn’t watch that episode, they surprised me
Hee-yeol : when Yoon-ha was a guest on our show.
Seung-yeon : That’s right.
Hee-yeol : I had no idea they were coming. They came out of nowhere and I just fell from my seat.
Hee-yeol : Do you remember?
Seung-yeon : Yes.
Seung-yeon : We walked in from that corner over there,
Seung-yeon : and you fell from your seat.
Hee-yeol : I did.
Seung-yeon : And you got a bromide from us.
Hee-yeol : They gave me an autographed bromide, and I was completely ecstatic.
Yoon-ha : So that’s the rumor I heard…
Hee-yeol : This is it.
Kara : You look surprised.
Yoon-ha They said they’d watch Sketchbook today.
Hee-yeol : Really?
Yoon-ha : Say something to them on camera.
Yoon-ha : To that one over there.
Hee-yeol : Wait, give me a sec…
Hee-yeol : I’m so embarrassed they’re showing this footage right now. I haven’t changed a bit since then. I’d like to meet you someday. Sometimes it’s annoying to see you act cute, but you still rock my world. Take care now.
Kara : Here we come!
Hee-yeol : I was completely taken back. My face was so red.
Ha-ra : But you enjoyed it?
Hee-yeol : Of course.
Hee-yeol : But that footage caught me off guard. I wish they’d tell me that they’ll play it in advance. I was really into your song “Rock You” at that time.
Kara : Rock You!
Hee-yeol : I listened to it non-stop. How long has it been since you debuted?
Seung-yeon : 5, 6 years?
Gyu-ri : It’s been 6 years.
Seung-yeon : Yes, close to 6 years.
Hee-yeol : Whenever you release an album, your dances always becomes a hit. What was it like to do the butt dance?
Seung-yeon : Initially, we weren’t very enthusiastic about it.
Gyu-ri : ‘Cause you don’t see our faces.
Seung-yeon : It’s never been done before…
Nicole : You don’t see our faces, and all you see is the back of our body with our butt sticking out. It was a bit embarrassing, but it topped the music charts.
Hee-yeol : So your opinion on the butt dance must’ve changed, then?
Seung-yeon : We’re very proud now. But since we’ve become so well-known for the song “Mister” and the butt dance, we’re worried that a lot of people may ask us to do the dance for them even when we turn 30.
Gyu-ri : We actually made a promise to do the “Mister” dance at each of our wedding in the future.
Hee-yeol : That’s a great idea.
Gyu-ri : It’s not set in stone.
Hee-yeol : Your future in-laws would love it. You have accomplished quite a bit in the last 6 years, but is there a certain goal you’d like to achieve in the future?
Seung-yeon : Well, although we are a young pop group right now, we hope to be the same Kara even 10 or 20 years from now. We may not wear pretty outfits like this or dance like we do now, but our dream is to have a small-scale, and heartfelt concert with all our fans.
Hee-yeol : I hope that happens.
Seung-yeon : You’ll come?
Hee-yeol : I’ll be there.
Hee-yeol : I wish you the best of luck for your group. Please introduce the next song you’ll be performing for us.
Nicole : We’ll be doing “Mister”, but this time, we’ve given it a fresh acoustic twist.
Hee-yeol : All right. Let’s say good-bye to Kara for today, and watch their performance.
Hee-yeol : Thanks for coming.
Kara : Thank you!
