Kara's street live event in Shibuya stopped after just 3 minutes!

[fabledlamb.livejournal.com]

On August 11, the popular Korean girl group KARA held a street live event in front of Shibuya 109 in Tokyo to celebrate their debut in Japan. The event had to be stopped after just three minutes as about 3000 people rushed towards the stage and things became dangerous.

The event wasn't announced beforehand but as soon as the 5 girls arrived, the situation got out of hand as people started to flood even the surrounding roads and the Shibuya police station had to send several policemen to the place of the event.

When the girls appeared onstage, people rushed towards the front of the stage and about 20 security guards had to support the safety barriers.

Originally, the event was supposed to consist of live & talk sections and last about 30 minutes, but after Kara performed "Mister", their Japanese debut song they released on that very same day, the organizers decided to stop the whole event.

Commenting on their success in Japan, Jiyoung said: "I'm surprised so many people showed up!" Seungyeon added: "The event was so short but we gave our best!"

KARA will be holding a handshake event at Shinkiba Studio Coast, Tokyo on August 14.

[toomanysides.livejournal.com]

They just reminded us of omona_prection too. There is a lot of KARA articles untranslated....

I'm j/k for now...

[queefing.livejournal.com]

yeah i just joined >:)

[czarny.livejournal.com]

I hope omona becomes Kara biased cos the SHiny and twopm stanning is getting out of hand.

[queefing.livejournal.com]

never going to happen, they're peenless.

[czarny.livejournal.com]

Most boys don't even wash them properly.

[queefing.livejournal.com]

doubt most of these girls care. famous peen is famous peen, cheese and all.

[ruggio.livejournal.com]

impressive

they should aim for less than two minutes for their next event

[leftysrockk.livejournal.com]

So much KARA ide

[tribuo-venerati.livejournal.com]

Right click + saving.

I'm considering making a separate KARA gif folder....hmmm

[leftysrockk.livejournal.com]

Yeh, I have so many KARA gifs now, it's getting way to hard to find them.

[toomanysides.livejournal.com]

I'm going to need separate folders for each member or some other categories (fierce KARA, funny KARA, cute KARA, GODDESS GYURI...etc) at this point. My kara folder is getting a little too big to load immediately.

[leftysrockk.livejournal.com]

I think for me just separating the Gyul gifs from the rest of the KARA gifs would go a long way lol.

[toomanysides.livejournal.com]

I think I have equal amounts of Gyuri (I save every goddess gif from you guys) and Nicole. I was just thinking might as well organize it because this folder will only get bigger....

[tribuo-venerati.livejournal.com]

lol, I don't have that many yet. At this point, only groups with folders for each individual members are Big Bang and DBSK, haha.

KARA will have quite a bit of catching up to do...

[toomanysides.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't be hard if you want to build up a collection
We post kara gifs all the time

[umbrella-smile.livejournal.com]

What exactly is their fanbase in Japan? Is it mostly middle aged men like most girl groups in Japan have? or is it pretty spread out?

[toomanysides.livejournal.com]

Half men half girls according to their showcase.

[queefing.livejournal.com]

gross men and young girls.

[umbrella-smile.livejournal.com]

Wow lot of girls there! I'm surprised.

[cristela.livejournal.com]

whoa cute Japanese girls love them too<3

[i-n-o-j.livejournal.com]

old men. SNSD's is the same pretty much. 4minute's is nearly all teen girls.

[umbrella-smile.livejournal.com]

Shame.
When I was into Morning Musume years ago it always creeped me out seeing all those middle aged men screaming for them.(I actually heard they were the reason women and girls stopped going to the concerts)
I hoped better for SNSD but sadly I think the same is in store for them.

[i-n-o-j.livejournal.com]

I don't think there have ever been any idol girl groups with female fans in Japan besides Perfume and Speed.

[ashmauve.livejournal.com]

think so too

[faister.livejournal.com]

i'd be sparkle texting all over this

[faister.livejournal.com]

r we allowed too ._.

[queefing.livejournal.com]

i should stop being a douche and post a real comment right.

[faister.livejournal.com]

+1

[leftysrockk.livejournal.com]

SO MUCH KARA

[lemskies.livejournal.com]

GO KARA GO!!!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 BOOM IT OMONA!

[peachie-ego.livejournal.com]

[emballe.livejournal.com]

whoa I can see the outline of nicole and seungyeons' ribs ...

[royalantares.livejournal.com]

It's what happens when you lose a lot of weight. Your rib cage expands but doesn't contract. It's my problem now. My ribs jut out, so when I lose weight, you can see the outline. I don't know if this happens to everyone but definitely people in my family.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

lol that's what usually happens when you have a performance like that. Sounds like bad planning

[omgklovepop.livejournal.com]

I WISH I WAS THERE I WAS THERE DURING THE SUMMER /JELLY ;-;

[czarny.livejournal.com]

Jelly

[inudela.livejournal.com]

this completely reminds me of what happened to gazette last year

[nancydrew070187.livejournal.com]

yeah, I immediately think about gazette when I'm reading this.

[i-n-o-j.livejournal.com]

did DSP write this? I'm 99% sure it was stopped due to people's complaints about how bad they were

[makro14.livejournal.com]

Stop this jealousy.

[nishiio.livejournal.com]

I'm confused.

Are you actually a troll?
Or do you just have no life?

[bumie.livejournal.com]

good luck kara :)
