DSP better let the girls pocket most of that cash, yo. And lol @ Wannabe star, the Japanese to Korean to English translation is really weird. I'd translate it to more "next door neighbor stars," kinda like someone you know casually who's also famous.

Oh and I'm currently listening to SNSD's new Hoot album. It's actually really enjoyable - SM has been on top of the ball (except for Suju, 4jib was a mess). Actually, most recent kpop has been really good. :D

Haha the first time I read 'wannabe star' I was like what?? KARA are stars, not wannabe lol, but it was probably just a very broad translation. Anyway racking in ~4.45 million USD a year on advertising alone is crazy..for once I'll have to compliment DSP for getting the job done in terms of marketing. I wanna see some consumer electronics cfs from Kara, sell em something :D.

Is this is what it's like to be popular?! Is KARA finally getting the love and respect they deserve?

I wonder if this is the type of money they've always dreamed of. If so, glad to know dreams do come true.

GO KARA!!!
