MADNESS ...last time I saw something like this was when N.W.A. broke up

The "possibility of SY, Jiyoung, Nicole returning to DSP exists?!" - pretty interesting to see the background shenanigans of signing contracts without their acknowledgement like a piece of beef!

don't wanna see shit like a f(x) Krystal collapsing.

KARA FIGHTING!!

thats what happen when your mom gets involved too much. seems like shes stealing the spotlight that belongs to nicole and fucks it up. she even had a twitter account -___-

i feel bad for nicole though. career may be ruined because of her mom

Seems like the parents are trying to work things out now rather than pursuing the termination any further.

(Source: allkpop)
An industry representative, and also an associate of the three girls, ‘J‘, stated, “The parents of the three have
expressed a desire to discuss matters with DSP Media. They’re also considering to request mediation from the KEPA.”

Very good news, but I wonder if the damage has already been done at this point. It will be interesting to see the fallout of all this.

The way things are looking, DSP is shady =)

the persuade Jiyoung and Seungyeon tactic is dirty =P Now i see why they wanted to copyright KARA. That shows they wouldn't think twice about kicking out members from the beginning. There's a lot of unity in the group though, i don't think Jiyoung and SY would sell out on Nicole.

But that's the music entertainment business for you. They always say its 99% business, 1% music.

Looks like negotiations are a go with Jiyoung and Seungyeon, but no mention of Nicole

(Source: allkpop)
On January 23rd, the fathers of KARA’s Jiyoung and Seungyeon spoke with reporters from MBC’s “Section TV“
through a phone interview and revealed, “We have decided to negotiate with DSP Entertainment for the 24th.”

^ That looks similar to what the Hottests did when Jaebeom left 2PM.

Quote

DSP Media has revealed that they will be trying their absolute best in reaching a compromise with the three estranged KARA members on January 25th.

Representatives reported on the 24th, “We received notice that they will be meeting on the 25th at 10 AM. We have yet to receive a location.”

When asked how they would respond to request of a management shuffle, which became an issue earlier on, they responded, “They would not bring such unrealistic requests to the table. We believe that as much as the three have expressed a desire in maintaining KARA, they will be realistic in their plan. KARA is the most important right now, and protecting the team is our highest priority. We believe that their opinions aren’t much more different than ours.”

They concluded, “Our stance is still the same as well. The only way to solve a misunderstanding is through conversation and compromise. The reason we haven’t been taking any other type of action is to prevent the issue from exacerbating and to promote conversation. This is the best we can do, and we will continue to do our best in protecting KARA, so please refrain from further creating distorted rumors or speculations.”

They just sound like they want to keep running around in circles, but let's hope that some good will come out of this.

Well it looks like the demands of the KARA trio are finally on the table. From the article:

(Source: allkpop)
With the three members having a contract that still lasts another 3-4 years, the trio has demanded their contracts be shortened to July of 2012 instead, as they would like to end their contract at the same time their contract with Universal Japan ends. They have also requested a more professional management team, as well as a transparent accounting system.

In addition, the three have requested for the resignation of the wife of CEO Lee Ho Yeon, who had been his replacement since last year after he fell into a coma. The trio would also like for a new system, whereby their legal representative could participate in the group’s accounting and contract audits.

Seems like DSP isn't willing to compromise on the shortening of their contracts or the resignation of the CEO's wife though.

Time to cross our fingers ladies and gentlemen.

I can't imagine a Kara minus Nicole's magic abs....

^ and Nicoleass

I think New York Jets Antonio Cromartie sums it all up, “Money ain’t nothing.”

“Honestly, I don’t give a damn if they get mad at me or not,” Cromartie said. “But it’s getting to the point where it’s getting ridiculous when everything is always dealing with money. You’re basically dealing with people’s livelihoods. ... You’re dealing with hundreds of thousands of other people in this workplace from the venues to everyone else. To me, you need to stop bitching about it. If you want to say that you want to get into a room and meet. Then, do it. Don’t just talk about it.”

Well ALCROTRAZ, at least it gets people to post in the KARA Forum.

This is SY from her twitter? aww

KARA、騒動決着前に日本で新CM決定
　分裂騒動に揺れる韓国の5人組ガールズグループ・KARAが、 2月よりエステティックTBCの新キャンペーンキャラクターに起用されることが25日、わかった。グループ存続問題にまで発展した騒動が決着していないこの時期に「キャンペーンをスタートするべきか協議を重ねた」という同社だが、「今こそKARAを応援していくというメッセージを送ることが大切」と結論づけ、当初の予定どおり2月からの実施を決めた。
昨年の日本デビュー以降、独特のヒップダンスやかわいらしいルックスで一躍人気グループとなった彼女たち。そんなKARAの持つ「元気な輝きと優れたプロポーション」が同社のイメージキャラクターに「最適」と起用が決まった。撮影時期は明らかにされていないが、韓国ソウル市郊外のスタジオで収録されたという。

　2月2日から全国で放送される新CM『キレイはTBCカラ』篇では、暗闇の中からキメポーズで登場した5人が、新曲「ジェットコースターラブ」（発売日未定）にのせて躍動感あふれるダンスを披露。魅力的な笑顔のアップショットが映し出され「みんな、キレイになれるカラ！」「カッコよくなれるカラ！」と5人がエールを送る。このテレビCMと連動して、首都圏大型看板や雑誌広告などが順次展開される。
