2007–2010: Breakthrough with Kara

She debuted as part of the four-member girl group Kara on March 29, 2007. As the leader of the group, Park came up with its name, which comes from the Greek word chara (χαρά, lit. "joy"). [3] [4] Kara underwent a number of lineup changes, but gained commercial success.

In 2009, she became a permanent guest on the reality television show Star Golden Bell . [5]

Park featured in a duet with Hong Kyung-min titled "Day After" on his tenth album Special Edition, released on February 4, 2010. On April 21 that year, it was announced that she would become a radio DJ alongside Shindong on the MBC talk show ShimShimTapa after Kim Shin-young left. Their first broadcast aired on May 5, 2010. [6] On September 26, 2011, Park announced that she would no longer DJ the show due to her busy schedule. [7] Her last broadcast was on October 2, 2011. [8]

2011–present: Solo activities and rising popularity

On January 19, 2011, Park was the only member of Kara to remain with their label DSP Media during a contract dispute in which the other members released a statement announcing they were terminating their contract with their label. The contract dispute was later resolved. [9] [10] She was the voice of Kate in the Korean dub of Alpha and Omega , released in February 2011.

[13] [14] In November, Park was diagnosed with vocal fold nodules, but nevertheless continued to rehearse for the musical. [15] She also hosted the "Seoul-Tokyo Music Festival 2011" on November 9. The musical ran for six performances in Korea from December 6–17. According to the show's production company, Show Note, the musical brought in significantly higher numbers of male audience members than average. [16] Following the musical's successful run, Park underwent vocal cord surgery on February 21, 2012. [17] [18]
