According to Allkpop, in a recent interview, KARA members simultaneously sent messages wishing to meet fans this year, and revealed the schedule being prepared. Member Seungyeon said KARA has "a variety of activities" in 2026 and hopes to receive the encouragement of the audience. Gyuri also shared that the group is making efforts to show "new aspects" and create more opportunities to accompany fans.
Jiyoung said KARA has carefully considered the activities they will participate in, while Youngji expressed excitement about having the opportunity to meet fans again. Notably, Nicole affirmed that the group will return with "full activities" in 2026 and promised to meet more direct audiences.
The group KARA debuted in 2007, is one of the typical female groups of Kpop Gen 2 with a series of hits such as "STEP", "Mr.", "Mamma Mia". After many lineup changes, the group stopped operating in 2016 but caused a stir when they reappeared with "When I move" in the 15th anniversary album at the end of 2022.
KARA's most recent comeback is the single "I Do I Do" released in 2024, continuing to help the group maintain its heat and strengthen expectations of a "proper" comeback in the near future.
Although KARA has not announced the release schedule or specific projects, the fact that members simultaneously talked about "many activities" and especially Nicole's commitment is making fans believe that 2026 will be the time KARA accelerates reunions. These may not just be commemorative appearances, but may be a more methodical promotional period.
