The rep stated, "The members have great interest in Youngji.  The three members of KARA personally went to 'Baby KARA's rehearsal site before their final competition in 'Kara Project' and watched over their preparation process.

As the leader, Gyuri felt a responsibility to guide the team's reformation no matter what. That's why she had a lot of interest in this audition and watched over it more meticulously than anybody else.

When the three members of KARA saw the result of the final competition, they accepted it with composure.  The three of them know better than anybody else that right now is a very important time.  They embraced Youngji and are doing their best so that the new album can come out well.  Watch over them."
