[Star Column] Vol.3 - Hara’s Tears, and KARA’s Unfinished Stories

Nicole’s

★Diet tips!

1. Avoid the white things!
If you eat cereal or brown rice instead of white rice, you will not only get healthier, you will also be able to see a significant amount of weight loss.
2. Light stretching!
It’s almost summer so you should be wearing lighter clothes now. It’s good to do light stretches everyday. Even if it’s just a little, you will see results as your muscles are working.
3. Rice with two side dishes!
To reduce the intake of salts, eat only one to two kinds of side dishes when eating rice. This diet seems to be effective.
4. Foot bath!
I’ve recently started going for foot baths. In the past, I did half body baths. Feet tend to get cold easily. Along with stretching, this will help to improve blood circulation.

[Netizen Buzz] Nicole's quiet zeal for life inspires netizens

Article: [Kara] Part 2. Seungyeon's challenge and Nicole's rest

Source:
Naver Ent via Naver

Article on what Seungyeon and Nicole have been up to. Seungyeon with her drama, Nicole with going on vacation to New York and focusing on her fitness.

1. [+370, -25] Nicole's really the realistic one... She's still young but she worked her butt off for three years to become a member of an acknowledged girl group. She probably made a lot of money to live comfortably off of. During hiatus, she tweets and hangs out with friends like any other non-celebrity would and then sets off to Japan to make some money. She's not like the other idols who take needless risks and get hateful comments by ruining their images. She's realistic... and when she's about to be forgotten, she comes out on TV once in a while. I'd say she's living the ideal 20 something year old life. Especially compared to other idols who are getting all this hate. Ironically, they're all more popular than her but at what costs?

2. [+255, -16] Hul, Nicole's 11 abs...

3. [+227, -38] Find strength, guys. You guys are the wall these nugu idols can never climb over.

4. [+173, -5] Nicole's abs are amazing... I looked up Pilates because Nicole got me interested but the lessons are pretty expensive.

5. [+129, -30] It's good to see young people work so hard in their lives. I'm almost turning 50 and the only effort I seem to make is eating and living. Time to work harder!!! ^^

6. [+97, -6] Really gotta give props for Nicole and the way she manages her lifestyle. I find it hard even following a week long schedule.. She's young but you can tell she's thinking ahead to the future. Her passion is clear.

7. [+63, -2] Nicole really amazes me with each of her diets and the way her body changes

8. [+38, -5] Can't help but become a fan when you see them working this hard

I'm posting this because of the Korean netizen comments, it's nice to see appreciation and acknowledgment about the kind of person she is :)

Talks a bit about her vacation but a longer section about her health. She talks about exercise and diet and how she did tons of research about nutrition to find out what works for her.

Hopefully translations soon! 
I think Nicole should write a book about this, I've seen many fans that seem interested in her healthy lifestyle.

There's another article that has more details, though according to the article above says nothing has been
finalized yet.




If this is true, that's some heavy story line. I'm curious what the other story lines will be.

[Interview] TV Life: Nicole


Theme: Cooking

Addicted to Making Jam!

Nicole, the member in KARA who knows the most about cooking. Even though I cook a lot, I’m actually not very good at it!

Q: What is your favorite Japanese movie?
A: I recently watched “Calmi Cuori Appassionati” and it was really good. I’ve come to realize that love is largely about pride and timing. This movie made me think a lot.

Q: Introduce your dogs
A: My dogs love skinship and they always love to stick to people. I have one male and one female dog. The female one is the type who wants to be loved by everyone. (laughs) But the male one only likes to stick to me.

Q: Tell us your favorite Japanese phrase!
A: I like the phrase “suki dayo”. Not “suki” but “suki dayo”! (※ Note: “Suki” means “I like you”. She’s emphasizing on the way the the phrase is said.) Whenever I watch dramas and hear that phrase, I’ll think to myself, “I want to be told that too~” (laughs)

Q: A message for girls who look up to KARA!
A: The most important thing for girls is to believe in yourself! I believe that you will be able to shine if you have confidence. If you don’t have confidence, work hard towards being stylish or find a job that you have a passion for!

I’ve always liked to cook but only became addicted to it two years ago, I think? I look for recipes on the internet a lot but it’s also fun to add your own personal touch to them! My specialities are Korean stew (jjiggae) and fried rice. I like to make omelette rice (omurice) and Japanese curry too. My mom is great at cooking as well, she cooks delicious mackerel and steak (galbi) but I’m still not able to cook them as well as my mom. (laughs) My latest addiction is jam, and I have been eating it everyday. I make all sorts of jam, strawberry, mango and peach etc.

If I meet someone I like, I want to make a bento for him! If I secretly put the bento into his bag, he will think of me when he sees it right? (laughs) The bento will contain toast, jam and ham, and what kind of sweets should I put in? Cookies or brownie or cake? I want to make his favorite food for him.

Even for a person like me who loves to cook, there are some things that I can’t do… That is to slice a fish. I get scared when I look at its eyes! It looks like it’s saying to me, “I’m dead because of you…”. (laughs) In order to increase the variety of dishes that I can make, I want to be able to slice a fish… Ah~ As expected, I can’t do it! (laughs)

[Blab] Nicole on WGM



Nicole was 2nd at Daum after her appearance on We Got Married.

Junhee called her to help with Jinwoon's cake. She asked if Nicole saw Mamma Mia when Jinwoon's mother choose Nicole as her preferred wife for Jinwoon and Cole did see it XD

It really looked like Nicole was into making the cake haha. Junhee asked what should they put on the cake and Nicole's like how about "I like you", then Junhee's like "Aw so cute" and touched Cole's shoulder which surprised her haha. 

They tried out some girl group dances. Nicole (being the dance teacher she is lol) taught Juhee the Mister dance and was totally helping her out :)

That's all I can remember XD

Btw Cole was super pretty !!

[STAR COLUMN] Vol.1 - It’s Time for KARA’s Leader Gyuri & Youngest Member Jiyoung

Girl group KARA celebrates their 6th year anniversary in 2013. Two 20 year old girls at the time of debut have now transformed into women whilst the youngest 15 year old member then has grown into an adult. We have always seen the five girls performing together as one group on stage, now let us take a look at the girls’ individual activities.

I shall once again challenge to find out how KARA spends their time overseas, individually as well as their days off. Before this summer’s comeback, let’s peek into the everyday lives of the five girls. We will get to hear stories like who meets a certain character, who goes on a holiday and who spends a simple day with their friends etc. The story of KARA as they look back at winter, welcome spring and wait for summer shall be revealed.

The first two people we will look at is Gyuri and Jiyoung. Both of them experienced a ‘heart throbbing’ winter. One of them had the chance of transforming into another person while the other embarks on a new chapter of her life. The stories of Gyuri starring in “Nail Salon Paris” and Jiyoung who turns into a 20 year old university student begin now. /editor
