Kara Project is a 2014 South Korean reality television program starring the girl group Kara. It aired on MBC Music from May 27 – 1 July 2014.
The program centred around the search to find a new member of Kara, following the departure of its members Nicole and Jiyoung.[1] Seven trainees from DSP Media participated in the show, competing to become part of the group. The winner of the competition was Heo Young-ji, who became Kara's new member.
On February 24, 2015, contestant Ahn So-jin was found to have died from apparent suicide one month after DSP ended their contract with her. She had been a trainee for five years before participating in Kara Project.[2][3][4]
