KARA's Hara shared about the hardships of being a celebrity, and also expressed her appreciation for the group's maknae, Jiyoung, who joined KARA when she was 15 years old.

On October 24th broadcast of KBS' 'Star Interview', Hara talked about Jiyoung by sharing, "It's a time when you shouldn't know much and just laugh and hang out with friends, but Jiyoung started her career as a celebrity at that age."

She continued, "Even when you're having a hard time, you can't express it and have to force yourself to like it. And I also debuted when I was 18 years old and went through a lot of hate comments. But Jiyoung had to experience that at an even earlier age. So whenever I see Jiyoung, I just feel sorry for her and I'm also thankful that she came this far."

Already been five years since her debut, Jiyoung thought for a bit after being asked, "KARA's 5 years?", and laughed as she finally answered, "A bumpy ride." In addition, Jiyoung also shared, "Entertainment shows are hard. I think I have no choice but to stick it out, with a hard-core spirit."
