KARA, the legendary girl group that pioneered the K-pop movement in Japan and left one of the biggest impacts in its history, will make a full-scale comeback this year with the long-awaited new single "I DO I DO" and its first concert in Japan in nine years! In addition, the single will be released as a commercial product only in Japan. In addition to five different jackets for each member, a standard edition will be released on July 24 (Wed.) in a total of six different formats. Each of the six versions of the single will include a trading card with the latest visuals that were shot for the single. Also, UNIVERSAL STORE will release a limited edition set of the 5 forms of each member in a special sleeve case with an acrylic stand.

Purchasers of KARA's new single "I DO I DO" to be released this time will also have a chance to participate in a special event where they can meet KARA by lottery. The benefit event will be held at each venue during KARA's first Japan concert tour in 9 years, which will be held in August. This will also be the first time for KARA to hold a photo session with all the members! To apply, please use the serial number on the "bonus meeting participation lottery ticket" enclosed in each package.
