The programme 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 in an 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]
