well well, number 6 isn't a bad thing! KARA and SNSD income just slightly different, and I know that KARA only released 1 single and 1 DVD and all of their single sales already donated back to japan people~ so I'm not ashamed with their rank! but I'm really happy! I believe 2nd half year will be better and KARA wave will be back!!
