KARA's Seungyeon talked about the ups and downs of having been a singer for eight years, which is pretty long in the K-Pop world, during the showcase for the group's 7th mini-album, 'In Love,' on May 26.  

Regarding one advantage, she said, "I've noticed the waiting room gradually got closer and closer to the stage, and then we got to have the most comfortable waiting room all to ourselves, so I'm grateful."  Most singers need to share waiting rooms and they're certainly not assigned their very own one, so this is definitely a perk to being a veteran singer!

However, Seungyeon continued, "On the other hand, the bad thing is that I'm scared to go outside the waiting room.  Most of the juniors are attractively taller than we are, so if we pass through them in the center, both sides of us scarily greet us like folders.  There have become many situations in which I don't know what to do with myself, so these days, I don't leave the waiting room very much."

She also showed concern regarding the cute concept this time, saying, "Gyuri and I will be turning thirty [in Korean years] the day after next.  It's not something I wanted, but it ended up like this because time elapsed.  This doesn't mean that we hate cute things. However, we said we should do a cute and innocent thing for our title track, then when we get off the stage, there are a lot of more cute and sweet-and-sour people there.

"I want to say that the title track 'Cupid' is a compromise.  I think you should look at it as KARA's normal bright and vibrant image as well as a concept that is more coy and haughty."
