On the October 19th broadcast of MBC's 'Radio Star', the MCs treaded some daring waters by asking KARA what they thought was the reasons behind their success in Japan. The MCs bluntly asked, "We heard that KARA is more popular than both SNSD and 2NE1 in Japan, why do you think that is?" Leader Gyuri carefully replied, "There's probably a variety of reasons. SNSD and a lot of other girl groups are also receiving a lot of love in Japan, but they say that our popularity is higher. We're actually not sure of the reasons ourselves." Goo Hara attributed their popularity to their proficiency of the Japanese language stating, "We don't have an interpreter with us when we go on variety shows." The MCs asked back, "Kind of like Ida Daussy in the past then, right?" Another remarked, "So you're basically a group with five Ida Daussys." Note: Ida Daussy is a French woman who moved to Korea in the early 90's after marrying a Korean and she became a TV celebrity because of her Korean language skills. After much laughter, the girls continued, "We also adjust to new locations / adapt to new environments really fast. We could probably survive no matter where you place us."
