Popular K-pop girl group KARA will simultaneously release a new single album and a best-of album next month, the girls' management agency said Thursday.

The title of the new single is "French Kiss," a mid-tempo ballad that depicts the romantic atmosphere of a couple spending Christmas Eve together, according to the DSP Media.

The best-of album, titled "Best Girls," consists of two CDs, each containing the group's Japanese and Korean-language hits.

The Japanese version has 14 titles, including the group's Japanese debut song "Mr." and its new single "French Kiss," and the Korean disc has 11 songs, including "Rock U" and "Damaged Lady," the company said. (Yonhap News)
