KARA Finally Reunite On Stage For The First Time In Seven Years At The “2022 MAMA Awards,” And All The Reactions Show Their Legendary Status
KARA officially announced in September that they would be making a comeback for their 15th anniversary after the group became inactive in 2016.
The group recently released their new song, “WHEN I MOVE,” proving that they are still as legendary as ever.
It meant that fans couldn’t hide their excitement when it was announced that the group would reunite on stage for the first time in seven years at the 2022 MAMA Awards.
On the red carpet, it was impossible not to feel emotional seeing the members come together. As expected, they all looked as if they hadn’t aged one day, wowing fans with their visuals, charisma, and elegance.
The performances themselves were very emotional, sharing a reel of the group’s career from their debut back in 2007.
The first performance was a medley of some of their iconic tracks, including “LUPIN,” “STEP,” and “Mr.” It is clear that the members didn’t miss a step and truly lit up the stage.
There was then another VT looking at the members’ journey to their comeback, including their reactions.
They then sang their newest song, “WHEN I MOVE,” and it shows that although the members have gotten older and been through so much, they are truly still powerhouses in K-Pop.
Considering how legendary KARA is, it isn’t surprising that the idols watching in the arena couldn’t contain their excitement watching the veteran idols. In clips from the video taken by fans, the likes of Kep1er, TREASURE, and many more showed their respect for the idols.
