After a long wait, KARA finally released the pre-release track "Hello" on Tuesday (16/7). "Hello" is a b-side song from the digital single album "I DO I DO" which will be released on July 24 KST.
In the uploaded video, a poster appears showing the members' hands joining hands. The background of the blue sky and white clouds further adds to the serenity of this four-minute song.
The ballad song "Hello" tells the story of someone's happiness when meeting someone they just met. However, he felt sad when he had to separate.
This song was supposed to be included in the group's 4th album "Full Bloom" which was released in September 2013. However, they only released it now. Interestingly, the late Goo Hara's voice is included in the song.
The appearance of Hara's voice no doubt drew various responses from netizens. Many netizens are sad remembering Hara's figure. Meanwhile, some other netizens even opposed it by asking that Hara's voice be removed to honor the deceased.
"This is very unethical in my opinion. Using her name as bait is not good. As much as I love KARA and Goo Hara, let her rest in peace. So many people in the music industry do this after an artist dies. For me, this is the lowest point new from RBW, and I will never listen to this song. Honestly, I can't even listen to KARA or f(x) songs anymore," commented one netizen. "Why do they use the voice of a dead person to gain relevance. It's been almost 10 years, please respect him," said another netizen.
"This is actually a tribute to Hara. KARA is always relevant...," replied another netizen. "01:40 is really Hara Noona's voice. KARA OT6 forever," said another netizen. "My heart exploded when I heard this song. Hearing Hara's voice again was like a dream come true. This song made me cry, I love the six members with all my heart. Without KARA, there is no life," added another netizen.
As is known, Hara died in 2019 after allegedly committing suicide. Hara's name also attracted attention regarding the burning sun case. (wk/diah)
