On July 29th, KARA�s leader Gyuri (23) and her fellow actors/singers attended a press conference for their new musical �Bijou wa Tsurai no� (Being Beautiful Is Painful), also known as �200 Pounds Beauty�. The musical is based off of� Suzuki Yumiko's manga, �Kanna-san Daiseikou Desu!�, and it's also been turned into a popular Korean film as well.

The story is about a heavy set woman with an amazing voice, who secretly does the singing voice for a big pop star. With special make-up and a suit, Gyuri will be transformed into the 125kg (275 lb) singer. She commented, �I�m really looking forward to meeting the Japanese fans who have seen a different image of me up until now.�

Choshinsei�s Sungje (24) will be playing opposite Gyuri as a music producer. �We want to arrange everything perfectly so that all of the Japanese people can see a fantastic performance,� he said.

The musical will be held in Osaka from October 8th to November 6th.
