Dia akan terus mengatur jadwalnya yang sibuk.

Perwakilan dari DSP Media berkomentar, “Setiap kali kami menerima tawaran casting untuk drama, kami sangat peduli dengan kontroversi yang belum terselesaikan tentang KARA dan tidak mampu membuat keputusan. Namun, akting tentu saja penting untuk penyanyi idola akhir-akhir ini, jadi kami merasa bahwa ini akan menjadi kesempatan yang besar dan memutuskan dia masuk kedalam peran ini setelah banyak diskusi. “

Mereka melanjutkan, “Karena promosi Jepang KARA, kita tahu bahwa banyak fans Korea yang kecewa dengan kurangnya kegiatan di Korea.Dengan itu, kami akan mulai dengan menghidupkan kembali kegiatan individu untuk bekerja lebih keras dan memastikan bahwa KARA bisa menyapa penggemar mereka sebagai sebuah grup sekali lagi. “

KARA’s Hara dan Jiyoung Memakai Twitter Setelah Gempa Jepang

Banyak selebritis Jepang yang sudah menggunakan Twitter untuk meyakinkan penggemarnya bahwa mereka aman dan membantu berbagi informasi mengenai krisis gempa saat ini, dan baru-baru ini, KARA melakukan itu.

Kang Jiyoung dan Goo Hara belum pernah menggunakan akun Twitter sejak pertengahan Januari ketika perselisihan kontrak mereka mulai, tetapi keduanya menggunakan Twitter mereka lagi setelah terjadinya gempa.

Hara mentweet pesan inspirasional, “[Aku] ingin hidup ‘sekarang ‘ dengan sepenuh hati,” dalam bahasa Jepang.

Jiyoung mentweet, “Semuanya, kita kembali di Korea, jadi jangan khawatir tentang kita!” dalam bahasa Korea, dan kemudian diikuti dengan pesan Jepang, “Semuanya yang di Jepang, kita sekarang aman kembali di Korea. Apakah kalian baik baik saja?! Saya berharap situasi tidak lebih buruk lagi. Aku menyemangati kalian! Harap lakukan yang terbaik! “

Semua anggota KARA kembali ke Korea kemarin dan untuk sementara promosi Jepang mereka ditunda.

KARA’s Seungyeon to withdraw contract termination request ??

Following Goo Hara, who previously canceled her contract termination, it seems that the possibility ofHan Seungyeon reversing her decision is high.

A representative of DSP Media spoke with TV Report on January 20th and stated, “There’s a possibility of one of the three members that filed for contract terminations returning, so we are trying not to let go of the hope. Yesterday, we were planning to meet with another member right after Goo Hara to discuss with, but we weren’t able to reach contact so we couldn’t. Fortunately, we will be meeting again, and that member is Han Seungyeon.”

He continued, “Yesterday, Goo Hara and Han Seungyeon did not even know that they even filed for contract terminations and were extremely shocked with the news. The members may have discussed the issue for a while, but we don’t think they knew that it would be turned into a legal matter so quickly.”

Landmark says issues lies with DSP Media; KARA members want to continue as a group

The parents of KARA’s Nicole, Jiyoung, and Seungyeon held a press conference with their lawyers,Landmark, at 3 PM KST on January 20th. The members were not present.

The parents began by declaring that they wanted “a KARA of five members” and that the members genuinely wanted “a KARA of five members” as well. Although there are legal issues between the members and their agency, the parents were adamant about making clear that the members wanted to continue as a group.

The parents stated, “The priority right now are KARA’s promotions. The agency itself is the next problem. The basic job of a management agency is to support an artist’s activities. An artist is not subordinate to the company.”

Representatives of the three members of KARA stated, “We want the full support of a management company that will allow KARA to express their full potential. The very foundation of an entertainment management company is trust and professionalism. The kind of relationship the members want with their company is one of trust and cooperation. We’ve reported many times that the company lacks both elements.”

They continued, “This controversy is a problem between the members and their agency, not one between each other. There is no discord between the members, but DSP Media continues to contact each of the members in an effort to divide them. We genuinely hope that they will act with character for the members.”

When asked about the possibility of the girls returning to DSP, Hong replied, “There is a possibility, but like we’ve said numerous times, it’s only possible once the problems as revealed by the members and their parents are fixed. ”

On Hara’s decision to cancel her termination, he replied, “From what I know, she has a strong attachment to the five and wanted teamwork.”

A reporter asked, “What do you have to say about your previous claim of the members receiving 1% of their income?” Hong replied, “I do not have the exact documents so I cannot verify that for you.”

Another asked, “What do you think about the public believing Nicole’s mother is the cause of all this?“ Hong replied, “Not only Nicole’s mother, but the rest of their parents could not find a compromise with DSP, which is why they sought legal help.”

When asked for further details on the “lack of professionalism” he mentioned earlier, Hong repied, “Details will be released later. I believe the fact that the situation has even reached this point is a big error on their end.”
