[EPN NPNow reporter Go Nari] Kara celebrated its 19th anniversary by posting a photo of the members reunited.
On April 2, Park Gyu-ri shared a commemorative photo with her fellow Kara members on social media. The image shows Park Gyu-ri, Han Seung-yeon, Nicole, Kang Ji-young and Heo Young-ji dressed casually as they mark the milestone.
Heo Young-ji holds a 19th-anniversary cake centered in the frame, highlighting the group's warm camaraderie. Kang Ji-young reposted the image with the caption "Happy 19th," and later shared footage of the cake cutting.
Although the members are each pursuing individual projects, they came together for the occasion, displaying strong teamwork and enduring friendship. Fans were visibly moved to see the group reunited in full.
The post did not mention the late Goo Hara, but her absence was keenly felt in the photos.
Since debuting in 2007, Kara delivered hits such as "Honey," "Pretty Girl," "Mister" and "Lupin," earning widespread popularity. Alongside Wonder Girls and Girls' Generation, they helped define K-pop's second generation. "Mister" was particularly popular in Japan, and the group became the first Korean girl group to perform at Tokyo Dome.
In 2022, they marked their 15th anniversary with the single "WHEN I MOVE" and returned to the stage as a complete group. The music video closes on six standing microphones — a poignant nod to the late member that lingered with fans.
The late Goo Hara passed away on November 24, 2019.
