On October 28th, girl group KARA performed the ending stage for ‘2011 K-POP Super Concert‘, which was held in the city of Busan. The girls performed their famous tracks, “Mister” and “Step“.

However, the audience was puzzled as to why only four members were present during the performance, as Park Gyuri was nowhere to be seen.  A DSP Media representative explained, “Gyuri was unable to attend the concert due to her Japanese musical, ‘200 Pounds Beauty‘.” Gyuri’s musical series kicked off with a bang recently, and has been doing very well in Japan as it’s sold out all of its shows.

Aside from KARA, other well-known idols attended the event including U-KISS, T-ara, Jay Park, ZE:A,SISTAR, AA, Kim Hyun Joong, Big Bang, Se7en, SHINee, and Psy.

Park Gyuri has been spending busy days going back and forth between activities for her musical, as well as for KARA‘s ”Step” promotions. It seems she’ll use whatever spare moment she has to go over her script for ‘200 Pound Beauty‘, as seen by this photo taken backstage at ‘Music Bank‘.

Representatives on scene revealed that Gyuri was always seen with her script in her hands, even while waiting for the live broadcast to start.

KARA had an exhausting schedule in the morning, but despite that, Gyuri quietly sat in the corner of the room with a pencil and her script. While her other members caught up on some much needed sleep, Gyuri dove into her rehearsal. It’s said that she was so focused on her review that her script became almost unrecognizable because of the notes scribbled all over the text.

She stated, “I’m glad to be able to focus on KARA’s promotions with good results. But I am the leading role for this musical and it begins right after KARA’s promotions come to an end so I can’t help but rehearse every chance I get in our waiting room.  I’m going to cut back on my sleep and work hard so that we can achieve great results on our promotions as well as my musical.”
