The warm friendship relation between SNSD and KARA is becoming a hot topic.

The close friendship of national representative girl group SNSD and KARA's members is already well known. Maybe because of their debut being on the same year along with similar periods of promotion activities, these two teams are friends since a long time. Moreover, being both girl groups, they must have a lot in common along with a not so high difference in age, making them build a friendship even with the battle of girl groups.

Recently, SNSD's autographs are gathering attention as they can be seen at the Ramyun Restaurant owned by KARA's member Nicole's mother, located at Kangnam. The fact that SNSD went to that Ramyun Restaurant displayed their friendship with Nicole. Plus, this restaurant is visited not only by SNSD, but other idol groups's members come daily, making the place famous in the entertainment world.

One of its employees commented, "Differently from what some fans think, the members of both teams get along together really well"; "Some time ago, SNSD's members came to the restaurant with Nicole. (And) They both don't hesitate when helping or advicing each other."

On the other side, SNSD and KARA finished their promotional activities and are focusing in individual activities. With each of them preparing for a new album's release, we predict that, sooner or later, we can see the 'SoKa Line' (SNSD-KARA Line)'s action again.

Earlier on, we reported on a new variety show based around our favorite girl group members. Now, we have more updates regarding the show which looks to be a blast.

It has been decided that for this new variety show airing on Friday nights, it will be based upon the hit variety show, 1N2D, rather than Heroine 6 as we had earlier reported.

During a phone conversation with the production team, it was revealed, "The final members of Invincible Youth are Yuri, Sunny (SNSD), Goo Hara (KARA), Hyuna (4Minute), Narsha (Brown Eyed Girls), HyoMin (T-ara) and Han Sunhwa (Secret)”.

The MC's for this show will be comedian Nam Hee Suk, actor Noh Joo Hyun, and singer Kim Tae Woo, with the talks of female comedian Kim Shin Young still in the works. Just by the representative(s) from each girl group, I can tell that this show is going to be huge! Watching our favorite girl group members, surviving in a variety show with a 1N1D atmosphere, is something I cannot miss!



The first filming of this show has been set for the 14th and the first airing of the show will be a week later on 23rd October through KBS2TV.

MBC's Chuseok Special variety show Sweet Girl is causing a stir amongst netizens after KARA's Goo Hara failed to come in first despite leading comfortably.

The highly anticipated idol survival program had featured the best of Korean girl groups in recent times like SNSD, KARA, Brown Eyed Girls, After School, 4minute, and T-ara. Polls were held earlier in the show to help select Korea's number one idol and SNSD's Sunny took the title for the prettiest lips, while T-ara's Hyomin took the place for the prettiest legs.



What was great about this show was that it allowed you to see which girl group members were good friends with each other. One example was Kara's Goo Hara with SNSD's Jessica and some other unexpected surprises.

The broadcast also featured heated rounds of arm wrestling and other nail-biting competitions. After the third round where they had to pull a truck some distance, KARA's Hara and Jiyoung, T-ara's Qri and Boram, 4minute's Jihyun and After School's Beka were the only ones left in the competition. The six survivors held a running race at the end to be crowned the best idol and take home a pack of highly valued Korean Beef.

Goo Hara led the race by a comfortable distance (as seen in picture), but tripped right in front of the finish line and lost the grand prize right in front of her eyes.



T-ara's Boram thus ended up as the best idol, with netizens showing their sadness at Hara's loss after the broadcast. The Wonder Girls must be feeling their sadness since they had predicted that Hara would win in their video message earlier in the show.



Check out the whole show.
