Japanese News Reports KARA To Recruit New Members After Nicole Leaves?

Japanese sources reported news of Nicole leaving KARA, Jiyoung's contract renewal, and the possibility of new members being introduced to the group.

Sankei Reports reported on the 14th, "It was reported on the 13th that KARA's Nicole's contract with DSP Media will expire on the 16th and will be withdrawing from the group. KARA will become a 4 member group but they don't have plans to disband the team. The members are currently taking drama and movie appearances into consideration."

The same day Sports Hochi wrote, "KARA's Nicole will be leaving the group with her contract expiration on the 16th. Jiyoung, whose contract will expire in April, hasn't shown any sign of continuing her activities with the group, so there are reports that there will be members added to the group."

Earlier that day DSP Media wrote on KARA's official homepage, "Nicole, who has spent the last 7 years eating and sleeping with the members, will have her contract come to an end on the 16th. Although she will be concluding her activities with KARA, but we ask that you cheer her on as she prepares for a new start."

In regards to the remaining members of the group, they said, "They plan to individually pursue acting, and will be active with album preparations and more."
