Kara's Seung-yeon, Nicole, Jiyoung, and Hara leave DSP Media

One of the most popular girl groups, Kara, is facing a serious crisis. It was announced on Wednesday, January 19, that 4 of the members would be leaving their agency, DSP Media. However, the following day, Goo Hara changed her mind and decided to stay with DSP along with group leader Park Gyuri. According to Maeil Shinmun, the girls canceled their contracts with the agency claiming they had been forced to do things that they did not want to and have lost trust in the agency.


Today, January 21, the three members' parents met with the Landmark law firm, and revealed their official stance through the legal representative. Munhwailbo reports the members and their parents want Kara to remain a 5 member group, but desire a management company they can trust. DSP Media is reported to be willing to compromise, but as there are many unresolved issues, it is difficult to predict the outcome of this debacle.
