SeungYeon gives me a Gaki vibe when Gaki first cut her hair short

I found them looking a bit a like since her hair is now short

Lupin MV is sexy for sure.

I like her for her cute face and her short hair. But maybe even more because of her BUTT and sexy abs.
I got to start liking KARA after lots of fandom on the forum and chat.
And when I first saw Nicole her butt dance in the Mister MV, I was sold.

 

Lots of other pictures to stare at!


This is only the tip of the iceberg of Nicole pictures.
Feel free to discuss anything you like about Nicole and dump new images!  

[lollipopgirl]

Weeee~ Finally they are moving out of their tiny little 2 bedroom apartment into a 4 bedroom
I wonder how they will decide who shares the 4th room?

Its sad though, those memories of ghost sightings & Sunghee/Nicole's bedroom will be all gone

[Stryfe]

I fuckin' love Nicole. She has a body that could stop traffic and a smile that could melt an iceberg.

Been watching a lot of her TV stuff and while at first I thought she's kind of... out there, I realized a lot of it has to do with the language "barrier" and that she clearly has her own special way of thinking, as is evident in Star Golden Bell.


{Funny} Nicole: If you eat this, you might die..



She's just so much fun lol...

Yeah, this is my favorite clip from that apt.  I bet the maknaes are gonna have to share it, and they'll probably have the smallest room too.

[kuno_thunder]

Jiyoung has been looking really mature lately, as if she's not 16 years old.  Back during the Rock You days, she totally reminded me of Ogawa Makoto, when she was around that age.  Anyone else see it?

[Naomi]

^ Yeah, I was thinking the exact same thing when I was watching the Lupin video yesterday.

^ But then that sucks. I get that they should share being the youngest, but Nicole has been stuck in the tiny apartment longer, so maybe it should be Jiyoung & Hara... so many ways to go about it.

[Naomi]

Whee, a Hara thread! She's been my favorite member since I saw the Pretty Girl music video. I remember watching it and seeing this really cute girl and I was trying to find out who she was. Naturally, it was Hara. =P

Normally I'd like to spam this thread with Hara gifs, but I can't figure out how to make any for the life of me, so I'll just post these captures I took of Hara from Lupin. Yaaay.



I should make a set with these pictures. 8D

[kuno_thunder]

Despite the whole "Goddess" thing she does for tv, I bet she's awesome to hang out with in real life.  I'll admit that I used to not be able to tell her and Nicole apart at first.  I finally was able to recognize her for sure, after this performance:


... because her mic pack started flying around at the beginning.

[Naomi]

I'll admit that I used to not be able to tell her and Nicole apart at first.

For me, I could tell them apart by looks, but I got their names mixed up, so I thought Gyuri's name was Nicole and Nicole's name was Gyuri. It took me a while to get used to their real names, and now I find it weird that I used to get their names mixed up.

And what's the deal with this "Goddess" thing? I've heard about it, but I dunno what it is... o.o

[kuno_thunder]

^ Oh, it totally sucks.  Unless someone's willing to sleep in the living room.  But, if its a bigger place, then its worth it.  Hopefully they'll all have room to eat at the table together now, lol.
