Due to Kara's debut album "The First Blooming" being relatively unsuccessful, Seungyeon went on to participate in many variety shows from 2007 to early 2009 in order to keep Kara recognizable to the public. She was the VJ for "MSL Break" from 2007 to 2008. She replaced Tiffany of Girls' Generation as co-host of "Sonyeo Sonyeon Gayo Baekso" (Boys and Girls Music Guide) with Kim Hyesung and later with actor Kim Soohyeon. Their segment ended on May 8, 2009.
