Kara member Goo Hara′s solo debut date has been set.

According to DSP Media on July 6, Goo Hara will be releasing her solo track online on July 14, officially kicking off her solo activities.

Goo Hara and her agency reportedly went to great lengths to create a high quality song and performance, increasing anticipation for her solo album.

The Kara member will be joining the July battle, alongside Girls′ Generation (SNSD), Girl's Day, Apink and more, with her own musical color.

Goo Hara′s Solo Song Deemed Unfit for Broadcast on KBS

KBS has deemed Kara member Goo Hara′s solo track, What Do You Think? (translated) unfit for broadcast.

According to a KBS affiliate on July 1, Goo Hara′s What Do You Think? and Crush′s Oasis were among 11 songs deemed unfit for broadcast during the song review for the first week of July.

The decision was made citing that the lyrics in Goo Hara′s What Do You Think? portaying a love scene were too steamy. The same reason was cited for Crush′s new single Oasis.

Yoo Se Yoon′s Pyongyang Naengmyun and Teen Top′s I Love It were among the 11 songs that didn′t pass KBS′ standards for broadcast.

Meanwhile, 240 out of 251 songs passed KBS′ evaluations for the first week of July, while 11 songs were deemed unfit.

Lyrics: "How's this, do you like this? Tell me if you don't like it, how's this? You like this? Should I keep doing this? I don't know how you like it so have your pick, what're you so surprised about"

1. [+518, -19] She has singing skills worse than even a commoner and she's releasing a solo?

2. [+510, -26] ㅋㅋㅋ She can't sing, dance, or rap so she's obviously pushing for a provocative concept but she won't even hold a candle to Hyuna

3. [+436, -21] I'm surprised she even has the bravery to release a solo ㅎㅎ I still can't forget her singing "Because I'm a Girl" ㅋㅋㅋ It was legendary ㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+23, -0] Usually the visuals of girl groups end up getting into acting as they near the end of their run with group promos but it seems Goo Hara doesn't have the talent for acting judging by the way she's insisting on going solo when everyone knows she doesn't have the singing skills for it. There are already a ton of female soloists who are sexier, sing better, and perform better than Goo Hara, I doubt the public will accept her so easily... She's really stretching it here.

5. [+23, -1] Come on, we all know a solo is ridiculous........

6. [+18, -1] If she's so mad about everyone thinking she's bad, she should go on 'Mask Best Singer' and prove us wrong ㅋㅋ

7. [+16, -0] Her singing skills should be deemed unfit for broadcast

8. [+16, -1] I still can't forget Yoon Jong Shin unable to control himself while watching Goo Hara sing "Because I'm a Girl"

1. [+18,879, -356] ????????????????????? But who's going to sing?

2. [+11,619, -257] A solo debut.....?

3. [+10,124, -267] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+9,362, -241] A solo... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+7,805, -230] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+1,890, -70] She'll probably lip sync

7. [+1,647, -61] Is she going to get a chorus to sing for her???

8. [+1,617, -74] Wait, she knows how to sing??

9. [+1,418, -77] Maybe it'll be a children's song ㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+1,294, -47] I. am. a. singer. even though I can't sing

1. [+317, -17] One of the singers I'm too embarrassed to even call a singer. She's not a singer, she's just known as the ant-waist Goo Hara.

2. [+311, -16] She's calling herself a solo singer ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+250, -13] A s-s..inger..

4. [+24, -2] Funniest article I've read all day ㅋㅋ

5. [+23, -3] Let's just all laugh! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+21, -3] Is she not embarrassed to call herself a singer? ㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+21, -5] Her voice is the type where all the training in the world couldn't help. There's just no strength to it and her breathing and tonality as well as vocal color are just not a fit for singing in general. It's not like she has star potential like Lee Hyori either.

8. [+17, -3] Should focus on KARA right now, nevermind a solo

boy groups have just as or even more racier lyrics and there is always that one or two that can't sing but im stfu

[srybutno.livejournal.com]

i know she's not a good singer but i love her and she's a nice performer so i'm just hoping the songs are good

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

So not even one comment in the part about the song being unfit about broadcast is about the topic.
I don't follow her that much to know her "talent". Is she that bad or are they just being haters like always?

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmm... Maybe is not good but for the comments I was expecting something really worst.
Well I hate Katy Perry's live and she's doing just fine. So I would say, let's see what Hara can do.

[itsnvrcldinhell.livejournal.com]

That actually hurt me a little bit

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

yoon jong shin's face is my fav part of this vid

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

Ouuuuuch

[mspopstar.livejournal.com]

Taylor Swift level

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

................. ouch

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

im really looking forward to hear her song and see her perform it live on music shows. i'm not sure if her voice is good enough to perform a 3-minute song live. at least hyuna has stage presence...

[gee.livejournal.com]

That lyric sample, idk about steamy... more like unintentionally hilarious lol.

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

stay salty netz. honestly i adore hara she is really genuine in the effort she puts into things and i hope she enjoys herself w this i'm really looking forward to it

[simplyseasalt.livejournal.com]

I just always want to root for the KARA members to do well, so I'm hoping Hara's song does well on the charts.

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

Netizens are shit but sorry Hara, I had to laugh at some of these. "She won't hold a candle to Hyuna" rofl true though

[kimbafierce.livejournal.com]

This is the first, and probably the last, time I actually agree with netizens. I like her, she's funny and seems like a very nice girl, but she cannot sing to save her life. I don't understand why she'd put herself through this.. :l

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

did they lie tho

[springsky.livejournal.com]

I'm really excited for this, idgaf! You don't have to be an amazing singer to put out awesome music.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

true, but you need at least stage presence, the x-factor, be a good dancer, you need at least SOMETHING. but after watching her solo stage above, she just looks like a girl next door at a karaoke bar

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

the name of the album is super cute and smart imo!

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

her solo will probably be the song of the year
mark my words

[yuzuruhanyu.livejournal.com]

praying 4 this

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Eh, as long she's a good performer it's okay. It's not like you're obligated to be a powerhouse vocalist in pop music anyway.

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

If she releases something catchy she doesn't need to have the most amazing vocals.
Hell, no one needs to be talented to be a huge pop star. All you need is catchy tunes and a good video

[bubblyshades.livejournal.com]

here to support my girl. the criticisms about her singing are valid, but lbr, no one was expecting her to release some sort of powerhouse ballad anyway.

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

i'm looking forward to her live performance. her solo for the karasia tour was really good!

[oppameansit.livejournal.com]

i love hara but have they forgotten that she's a terrible singer? i remember she put out some ost song and got dragged over the coals for it

[dot-rose.livejournal.com]

I'm going to assume there's a lot of rapping involved? Something similiar to Hyuna's solo singles?

[jaeslurpy.livejournal.com]

she's not the best singer but she's adorable and i'm looking forward to her solo.

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

does she have the stage presence to perform alone? obviously she doesn't have the talent

[yuzuruhanyu.livejournal.com]

i wish she'd make another mv w/ siwan again...they were so cute tgt

[bugchan.livejournal.com]

lmao let her live. hyuna sings like shit too but she backs her solos up with performance. hara's been trying these days, cant wait tbh.

[kpopsteve.livejournal.com]

"An expression of sexual intercourse" Hara has peaked my interest. And other things.
