Score: 967 (+268)
Genre: Pop / Dance

Album: Kara mini-album Vol. 3 Track 2
Watch: MV Live Performance
Comment: Kara takes the No. 1 spot with "Lupin" on only its 2nd week on the chart. After surprisingly winning the top female group on our last year's Soompi Gayo Award, Kara continues their strong showing on our chart. The title song "Lupin" is from their recently released 3rd mini-album of the same name. Kara vowed to return to a more fierce image on this mini-album, a concept that did not fare too well when they used it on their debut album. But that was then and this is now. Kara has developed a large and loyal fan base now and fans are more receptive of their change in concept this time.
