KARA is looking forward to a brighter and prettier future this spring. The girls recently celebrated their 6^th anniversary with Kamilias (their fanclub name) from around the world. Over Twitter, the girls thanked their fans for their love and support while also looking forward to future projects as a group and as individuals. If being ranked as K-Pop's leading national female girl group by music industry insiders is any indication of their future success, KARA is surely heading in the right direction. In this edition of KStarz in Focus, I'll be zeroing in on news stories surrounding KARA beginning March 11^th.

It's been three months since performing their first ever solo concert in Tokyo, Japan Kamilias from around the world can now view backstage footage and stage performances from KARA's "KARAsia 2013 Happy New Year in Tokyo Dome" concert DVD. And, if that wasn't enough, KARA also released their 8^th Japanese single "Bye Bye Happy Days" which recently placed 3rd on Oricon charts.

Besides working on their Japanese album some of the members of KARA have been flexing their acting muscle in dramas scheduled to release this spring such as Seung Yeon playing a King's wife in SBS's "Jang Ok Jung, Living in Love", Gyuri being casted in MBC's new drama "Nail Salon Paris", and Hara possibly joining KBS's new drama "Shark". While not appearing in a drama for broadcast TV, Nicole has taken up the role as English teacher on a Japanese radio show 'Rekomen!' where Nicole will give advice on the English language to callers. Meanwhile, maknae Ji Young will be experiencing college life as an incoming freshman to Sungkyunkwan University. So, until KARA's next Korean comeback, Kamilias, check out the highlights of their week in March in this KStarz in Focus episode.
