Background Information

Having debuted under the same company as predecessors, Fin.K.L, many comparisons between the two groups were made, even paralleling each individual Kara member to a Fin.KL member.[1] Kara showcased a "strong female" and mature image through the R&B style of their debut single "Break It".

Chart performance

The Gaon Music Chart was launched in February 2010 as the official chart for South Korea, almost 3 years after Kara debuted. The First Blooming entered at number 11 on the Gaon Album Chart for the third week of 2010 and peaked at number 2 for the week ending January 23, 2010. It spent two non-consecutive weeks in the Top 5 and three non-consecutive weeks in the Top 10 of the chart in 2010.[2][3][4]
