Kara recently performed for 24,000 fans at a two-day fan meeting in Yokohama, Japan, where they also announced their plans to hold their second arena tour in the country.

The group’s upcoming arena tour titled “Kara 2nd Japan Tour 2013 ― Karasia,” will kick off in Yokohama on Oct. 8 and then make its way across the country to Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Fukui and Kobe. The tour is expected to attract a total of 140,000 fans.

Kara performed its first Japan arena tour in April 2012, drawing around 150,000 fans. This tour was followed by a special concert performance at the Tokyo Dome in January and put the group in the history books by becoming the first K-pop girl group to sell out a show at the renowned venue.
