KARA's, the iconic 2nd generation K-pop legends, have dropped stunning concept photos for their new song that look straight out of a magazine.

On the 18th, KARAmembers Park Gyuri, Han Seungyeon, Nicole, Kang Jiyoung, and Heo Youngji shared individual concept photos for the 'By My Side' version of their digital single 'I Do I Do' on their official social media.

In the photos, KARA sported casual summer looks with crop tops and dresses. They effortlessly switched between pure and chic vibes, showcasing their versatility.

Fans were particularly drawn to Park Gyuri's photos, especially since she recently suffered an orbital fracture.

KARA has been building anticipation for their comeback by releasing three different concept photo versions: the bright and floral 'A Flower,' the mysterious 'Blue Wave,' and the latest 'By My Side.'

'I Do I Do' marksKARA's first new song in about 1 year and 8 months since their 15th-anniversary special album 'MOVE AGAIN' in November 2022. Their comeback has already made waves, topping domestic music charts and winning first place on music shows.

KARA will release 'I Do I Do' on various music sites at 6 PM on the 24th. They are also set to hold solo concerts, '2024 KARASIA,' in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan, next month, continuing their reign as 'Hallyu Queens.'

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
