Will they come back?
When we talk about the girl group riptide in the Gayo world, it is impossible for the "4 Team", Girls' Generation, Wonders, 2NE1 and Kara to be left out. These days, however, the so called "Big 4" of the Kpop world cannot be seen on music programs. They have appeared in portions on Entertainment shows, and have similarly broken into solo activities but as groups their dazzling music stages cannot be seen. Why?
-----------
KARA -
Like 2NE1, Kara seem to be lagging behind as well. Since July through their 2nd full-album and the "butt dance" from Mister, Kara have seen a spike in their popularity. Riding this wave, in November it was announced that their new mini album was being prepared. However due to circumstances the release of this does not seem likely in the near-future.
DSP Media's PR released a statement saying " 'Mister' has been received quite warmly and its hot atmosphere will stay for the rest of the year. While a new record at the end of November was planned, its work has been delayed. If December's End-Of-Year Award Ceremonies and special stages prove to be too taxing, we will be considering a release in the new year. "

While the Girl Group Big 4 are hidden away from music programs, their solo and semi-group activities on entertainment programs, among other things, have sated the desire of many fans. You can see 2NE1's Park Bom currently in her solo stages for her new song "You & I", while fans of Girls' Generation and Kara can watch them appearing on numerous entertainment and gag shows.
Even though Big 4 will not be making a splash back into their group activities at the end of the year, each of them are working hard to achieve more meaningful and realised talents, and we eagerly anticpate their growth and comebacks in the new year.
