The Korean pop band

  • Ear Worm: Most of their songs after Sunghee left the group and Hara and Jiyoung joined. Special mention goes to Mister, Wanna, Step and Lupin.
  • Face of the Band: Hara.
  • Replacement Scrappy: Averted; in fact, the most popular member of the group now is one of the replacements, Goo Hara.
  • Tastes Like Diabetes: Honey, as the name would imply. It's more the concept than the actual song though.

The tech demo

  • Tear Jerker: Tricks you by presenting itself as just a demonstration for a new engine, and then...
  • The Woobie: Kara
  • Uncanny Valley: Runs the risk of this, especially the closeups.
    • Of course this is about the most subjective trope the tech demo evokes. Some people praise it for finally overcoming said valley, since Kara very closely resembles her voice actor and a real human in general (you can see the muscles move under her skin and her nostrils flare as she speaks). Other find that she still isnt human enough.
