Kim Sung Hee's departure (hopefully temporarily) from KARA, because of health and school reasons, led to DSP holding online auditions to fill her spot at UCSING a few months ago. Now, at the end of the contest, DSP has announced their 3 new trainees who will take Kim Sung Hee's spot in the girl group. Out of the 3, they will choose only TWO, therefore one will not be able to make it to KARA. The trainees are:

Lee Ah Reum


Ha Hyun Ji


Gu Ha ra


We wish them all good luck!

Wow, we all favor Gu Ha Ra...but what kind of name is that!? *no offense*
I must say she does looks like a star that will fit well into the KARA group...

...but either way...good luck to all three girls!

May the new member replace nicely of Sung Hee's position

^TWO new members

Actually, the first one (Lee Ah Reum) is born in 1988, so she's my age. The other two were born in the 91-92, i forget.

From top to bottom though is how they were ranked, highest on top, by the online voters. Oddly though, the real #1 person voted on the contest, wasn't chosen as the top 3... Also these 3 girls were actually DSP trainees already before the contest... which led to theories of the contest being a hoax or unfair.

omgah the second girl is soooo pretty.

if i had to choose, i'd choose the second and he third. SUNG HEE WOULD STILL BE THE BEST. she had the strongest voice any girl band had.

it's such a shame.

yea... Sung Hee was the best... I still can't get over her ^o^

But I would actually choose the 1st one, Ah Reum, first, and then maybe Hyun Ji. Although I also like Ha ra too! I wish all three of them could be in Kara...

UPDATE: More pictures of the girls. I can't tell the girls apart, except for Ha Ra, because Ah Reum and Hyun Ji both look alike xD and neither could the original uploader xD but they are all looking pretty!!!



These last two are pictures of Ah Reum!
