KARA gives back to the people that showed them love the most

[perfume.livejournal.com]

In light of the recent tragedies in Japan, KARA will be donating all their income from their new single “Jet Coaster Love” towards disaster relief efforts.

A representative from DSP Media stated, “…for the victims of the earthquakes and tsunamis, all of the proceeds from KARA’s new single will be donated.”

They added,“The KARA members are very hurt for the Japanese people and fans who have showed them so much love. They’re constantly looking for updates on the internet and television… They were looking for a way to help victims, and decided on donating the money from their new single.”

Sauce AKP, Newsen

lol someone in the company must have decided that they need some good publicity amongst all this lawsuit business.

inb4 Kara get all the credit

[taylorniw.livejournal.com]

lol unless it means the money the members themselves made. No way all the money the single makes is going to relief efforts.

[royalantares.livejournal.com]

Good for them. Hopefully it's not $600, though every dollar counts.

[cruel-disorder.livejournal.com]

That's really great of them.

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Cool, but they don't really make much of profit from their Japanese music.

So are they basically just giving back the Money the Japanese People spend on them or do they get a lot of International Fans to buy their Japanese Releases?

Nonetheless Any bit Helps, it's Nice to see they're or whoever decided to do this is Willing to Give up that.

lol I bought 2 copies, so I guess I'm giving back

[noonasays.livejournal.com]

they are fantastic

[epona.livejournal.com]

they claim that they don't get enough money to live and then give away what little money they earn?

[perfume.livejournal.com]

Angels, aren't they?

[notyourgeisha.livejournal.com]

I...kind of saw this coming, actually. The other day I was like "...wouldn't it be nice if the girls gave all their money from JCL to Japan, and they're the sort of ppl who would actually do this." And then it happened!

And bless you for using the correct version cover *phew

[perfume.livejournal.com]

I was glad Newsen/akpoop used the right cover as well. I think it's the consensus.

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

That is super nice of them! I hope they sell a lot.

[queefing.livejournal.com]

inb4 ppl say they're just doing this for publicity!!

oh oops nvm.

in a situation like this kara is damned if they do and damned if they don't do something in the wake of japan's disaster. but doing something > not doing something so good for them for picking the best option.

[notyourgeisha.livejournal.com]

I'm going to go kry in the library with my orgo books nao :C
srys

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

smh at people saying this is for publicity, and if it is? will it help the people any less?

anyway, that is a super sweet thing to do ♥

[toomanysides.livejournal.com]

not to mention being a good example for others to follow.

[feel-my-mind.livejournal.com]

I love that they're giving back, but its getting really sickening to keep seeing members here question every kpop celebrity that choose to do so. Seriously, is it a good business move? Yes. But that doesn't fucking matter. In the end, they're using their popularity to help people that need it the most. I am thankful for all celebrities that are choosing to donate. Japan needs all the help it can get.

[nhk110.livejournal.com]

if they dont do anything, you call them selfish and greedy. if they do something, you accuse them of being attention whores. but in the end, they actually did something to benefit people, a lot more than the people hating have done.

[notyourgeisha.livejournal.com]

lol did I just see this in KH sbox

[geonitacka.livejournal.com]

BUYING.

This is how it's done. Good job KARA!

[mingobus.livejournal.com]

You say this is all a publicity stunt and that they're really not donating much... but how much have YOU donated?

[loveholic198.livejournal.com]

I agree, and Japan's disaster is no laughing matter, especially when the girls actually were there to experience it.

[baboboy.livejournal.com]

I rather donate the money directly but that's a sweet thing to do :D

[hopeandmemory.livejournal.com]

OT but sweet icon!

[tonks26.livejournal.com]

Love the title of this post.

[erinbythehour.livejournal.com]

I must admit I havent cared much for them but I fully respect them for this.
