150402 KARA's Hara shows that her ant waist hasn't changed at all

KARA's Hara is known for her record-breaking running speed, her doll-like features, but also her ant waist!

Hara's tiny waist was first brought to light back in 2009 when KARA performed "Mister", and even after all those years her waist has stayed the same.

On the April 1 airing of SBS' 'One Night of TV Entertainment' Hara came in for an interview. She measured her waist over her thick sweater, and her waist came to be 24 inches. 'One Night' said if you took away the thickness of the sweater, her waist was still 20 inches.

She said that since her waist was so small, she had been doing some waist exercises to thicken it, but it looks like it hasn't changed!

As a direct contrast to her thin frame, Hara also talked about the foods she likes to eat, which were Korean BBQ and pork/beef intestines!

Do you think Hara's waist is impressive or too thin?

150403 Hara deletes Instagram photo with former Girls' Generation member Jessica and Davichi's Kang Min Kyung, likely from backlash

On April 3, KARA's Hara had posted a photo of herself, Davichi's Kang Min Kyung, and former Girls' Generation member Jessica, hanging out with bright smiles on their faces. But this seemingly innocent picture apparently riled up some fans, and the backlash may have been a bit much for Hara, for she deleted the post soon afterwards.

She wrote, "denim sisters," as a caption accompanying the photo, which showed the three rocking their skinny jeans as they smiled for the camera.

However, not everyone was happy to see this picture, it seems, because some believed Hara might hurt the feelings of the other Girls' Generation members she's friends with by remaining close with Jessica and posting pictures with her.

With her deleting the photo, many have been asking her to repost as well as expressing their frustration with fans who take things too far over something as small as an innocent photo.

What are your thoughts?
