The three remaining members of KARA re-assured fans that there were brighter times up ahead at a recent fan meeting in Japan.

Speaking to a packed stadium of 15,000 fans, leader Gyuri said that they had something to say. "It's been a while. A lot of things have happened, and we felt that we should tell you face-to-face if we had a message," she said. "There is one request we have for you, and that is for you to keep trusting us. Even if it's hard now, please have faith in us. We will work very hard so we don't hurt each other."

Meanwhile, the competition has begun to name the new members that will join KARA. Watch the first episode here!
