Save me, you smiled so brightly...Kara Kang Ji-young celebrates her 17th anniversary.



Kara Kang Ji-young expressed her deep longing for the 17th anniversary of her debut.

Kang Ji-young said on her channel on the 24th, "'It's already the 17th anniversary. Congratulations!," he posted the photo. The released photo shows the stage of Kara's debut song 'Rock You'. The photo shows Go Goo Ha-ra smiling brightly between Han Seung-yeon and Kang Ji-young, causing regret.

Kara, who debuted in March 2007 as a quartet including Park Kyu-ri, Han Seung-yeon, Kim Sung-hee and Nicole, was reborn as a quintet by recruiting Goo Ha-ra and Kang Ji-young after Kim Sung-hee's withdrawal in 2008. After that, Nicole and Kang Ji-young left in 2014, and Heo Young-ji was recruited and transformed into a quartet again.




However, Kara suffered the pain of letting Goo Hara go in 2019. Gu Ha-ra was found dead at her home in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. He was 28. Fans were even more shocked at the time because Gu Ha-ra was engaged in a legal battle with her ex-boyfriend Choi Jong-beom over the Revenge pornography and assault case.

After overcoming the pain of breaking up with Gu Ha-ra, Kara reunited for the 15th anniversary of her debut in 2022. Cara, who returned to Nicole and Kang Ji-young, who had withdrawn, and reunited as a five-member group, is actively moving back and forth between Korea and Japan.
