- About On & Off

After Invincible Youth, Hara didn't have much opportunity to show herself through various shows. There were lots of prejudice and misunderstanding. On & Off was the opportunity for her to prove everything. It was very real because she filmed everything by herself. From the start she stressed that she will only do the program if it's 100% reality. Even everything that was broadcasted was through Hara's opinion. It was very precious to her and she doesn't regret it at all.

hyungsik? that's brand new information for me...

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

She looks pretty (well she always does), but I don't like the first and third photo with the harp. I think it's the make up.

[huanyia.livejournal.com]

She's so delicately and angelically gorgeous :)

[supersunshiner.livejournal.com]

she's always been super pretty
but lbr hara is not a super good singer or dancer(?) so a solo...idk
(must be weird being friends with both tiffany and jessica)

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

yeah.. i'm happy for her but i'm surprised about the solo

that said i kinda felt the same way about nicole and she improved a greal deal so maybe if hara puts the work in she'll surprise us it's just a lot alongside kara's comeback

[supersunshiner.livejournal.com]

nicole has always been a great dancer and her voice was pretty good depending on what song it was

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

she rarely sounded that great to me honestly i think she handled the jump from 5 member group to dominating a stage on her own with such steady vocals and that choreo really well- definitely better than i expected

if hara can pull some stage presence out of the bag maybe she'll do well but hm

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

Have any of these recent girl group solo endeavors really panned out?

Jiyeon, Hyomin, Hyosung, Nicole - did any of them make an impact? Hyuna and maaaaybe Ga-in are the only ones I can think of who've really established themselves as solos outside of their group. (TTS & Sistar19 aren't solos, and Soyou succeeds by duetting)

Maybe you could include Sunmi, but her journey to solo artist was a little unconventional, lol.

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

lbr all a soloist needs is stage presence and charisma. look at hyunas success

[supersunshiner.livejournal.com]

hara isn't an already popular and established rapper nor is she that charismatic :/
she could go for an actress or model more than a solo artist give it to gyuri

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

huh? hara is very popular... gyuri is my fav member and i would love a solo from her but hara has wider appeal

[annhh.livejournal.com]

maybe not amazing vocal powerhouse but I wouldn't mind this. nicole wasn't great either and went solo so at this point it's whatever, just waiting for some signs of life

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

omg yasss i hope she uses this girly rocker concept. and yeah itd be ideal if they give her something light on the choreo like this

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

she's a pretty good dancer but yeah, vocally she's really weak... but i suppose they could work around it depending on the song.

i think dsp's just desperate for $$$ so they're overworking kara.

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

hyuna's really charismatic and she has tons of stage presence... hara not really.

[bomsnose.livejournal.com]

hara's solo... i'm rolling my eyes now, but it could be good.
she's really pretty as always.

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

if it's a solo like this one, I'm up for it

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

I think that if they give her a song like this, she's going to do well.

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

i actually liked this lol. the choreo is meh though but omg she looks perfect.

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

I think it's cute (the right amount of cute for me) and the song is lovable and right for her tone

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

i stand corrected!

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

how is she real? *______*

her makeup is so on point. one of her best photoshoots imo.

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

mte!

[camouflagecat.livejournal.com]

These pictures are lovely but it bothers me that you can see the photographer in the reflection of the sunglasses in many of the pictures lol.

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

ugh another flawless kara member. i go back and forth between her and gyuri for prettiest member but their looks are so different that its hard comparing them

[jaeslurpy.livejournal.com]

i love baby hara goo. i'm so down for a solo. she's my kara bias.

[yuzuruhanyu.livejournal.com]

hft the year of hara!!! stun us kween

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

hope she got song that suit her voice and dance, she's amazing performer tho
confused because it said she wants to try cunning role but then it said that she doesn't have plan to go acting kkk

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

Maybe she just meant she had no plans in her immediate future to do acting - like, nothing lined up - but will probably try her hand at it again eventually.

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

She also like Gazelle from the movie Kingsman.

That movie didn't have any good roles for women, though, did it? ::never saw it; not my bag::

Is Korea that starved for action heroines?

I like her personality, but from what I can tell, she's a mediocre-to-poor singer & a bad actress, so it's hard to support her in those endeavors...her Glamorous Sky performance pleasantly surprised me, though, so I'll keep an open mind. As someone who isn't usually impressed by Hyuna's performances, though, I think you need more than just a sexy stage presence.

- Hara close with Jessica, Kang Minkyung, Im Seulong, Hyungsik, Tiffany.

Seriously?

The back-and-forth between Sica & Sunny made me believe the girls weren't exactly on speaking terms, but at least it's not so bad that friends are being forced to choose sides...

[secretkeeperr.livejournal.com]

Omg. Kingsman was GOOD. It was so so so well done. Gazelle and Roxy are the main female characters and yes yes yes yes they freaking killed it. Gazelle was the villains side kick but omg, she was such a wonderful character. Even the villain, on numerous times, said or implied he would not have gotten to where he was without her. And Roxy does something of a feat in the movie, it's sort of a spoiler so I won't say, and also as she is training with rest of the potential kingsman no one brings up the fact she's a girl at all.

There is only one scene at the end that could be argued on but I believe it's pretty feminist (before Eggsy saves the day and all, he finds a captured princess is like if I save the world can i have a kiss? And she's like no, I'll do you better and we can do you know what up the rear end or something just as raunchy) but that is the only thing that might not sit well with some people and that scene, like the entire film is a tongue in cheek tribute to old james bonds films, and how they always end with bond about to do a bond girl 'from the back door'.

SERIOUSLY SUCH A WELL DONE FILM.

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

Late reply, sorry!

I read some reviews, and have a bit of a problem with the ideology the film wears on its sleeve (but that's not new for me with Mark Millar's stuff) and the way some of his characters are drawn (e.g. the villain), and find even that scenario you described - the guy asking for & the female character dangling sexual favors as a reward when she's at his mercy - a little cringey, even though it's supposed to be jokey/light-hearted - but I'll certainly consider seeing it, esp with your glowing recommendation! I do like a well constructed action scene and this flick seems to have a few of those!

She's literally a doll, so pretty and soft! I love coral colors on her

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Solo debut? LOL I guess it was her mom who went to the company to complain... ;-)
