Nicole Leaving KARA IMO

This is going to be a short one, I promise.  So Nicole isn't going to renew her contract with DSP Media, which means that in January, she will no longer be a member of KARA.  Fans are speculating that this is because she has been discriminated against since 2011, when she and two other members, Jiyoung and Seungyeon, entered a legal battle in an attempt to nullify their contracts.  However, they decided to remain a part of the group in the end.

I have only one thing to say.  These netizens need to stop assuming.  Every time someone leaves a group, they assume that it's because of some mistreatment. They were wrong about T-Ara, they were wrong about SNSD.  For the love of everything pink and adorable, just STOP!!!! It's annoying.


Update: Nicole has released a statement via her Twitter account explaining that she decided to leave DSP Media because she wants to do different things and grow as an artist.  She hopes that she can somehow work out a group contract with DSP so that she can remain a part of KARA, but she wants to sign a personal contract with a different company.

For those who are wondering if this is even possible, it is.  Former DSP artists, SS501, all left DSP Media.  Although they have yet to do any group promotions, they have worked out conditions where they can continue to promote as SS501 should they so choose.

Good luck to Nicole on pursuing her future career, wherever that may take her!
