Edit: Beaten, but here's another link anyhow.

Members of top K-pop girl group KARA will go separate ways.

KARA’s agency DSP Media announced through a statement Friday afternoon that KARA members Gyuri, Seungyeon and Hara are the only members who have renewed their management deal for two more years with the agency.

The management deal with member Nicole, who has clarified that she had no intention to renew the deal with DSP Media, is set to be expired next January as scheduled.

Jiyoung, the youngest member of the group who just turned 19 this year, will take more time to think over her future and career since it is set to be expired next April, the agency explained.

DSP Media cleared out that KARA will not be disbanded and continue its domestic and overseas activities, even though part of its members will not expand their deal and leave the group.

Debuted in March of 2007, KARA is considered as one of the most successful Korean girl groups that have successfully broken into the Japanese music market.

Edit:
allkpop said:
[Update] - In addition to their press release, on the matter of Jiyoung's contract and her dilemma of whether to continue on with singing or focus on school instead, those close to her told the media, "It's true that she is thinking about resting. She looked into studying abroad. However, at this moment, as a time she is working hard as part of KARA, nothing has been confirmed yet... It's not that she's saying that she's going to quit the her life in the entertainment field. There's still a lot of time left, so we'll be having to discuss this more."

Is this the end of Kara? Too bad, they were one of my favorite groups. Not to mention that I think that they are the overall best looking group in K-Pop.

But I was wondering, do people around y'all know that you listen to Kpop and what do they think of it if so? I mean, I don't really care that people know what I listen, my Last.fm is linked with my Facebook so what I listen even appears in people's timelines. My friends all know that I listen to Kpop and some of them even knew some songs before I told them about the music. Some Vietnamese friends of me already knew Hyuna. They said yeah if you're Asian it's pretty plausible that you know her.

But yeah, I just don't really care, I hum and sing Davichi's 8282 and Girl's Day's Expectation a lot in class, but I read from other people (on Allkpop for example) that they are ashamed of the fact they listen to K-Pop, so I was wondering how that is with you guys.

Oh wow and I love this picture:

and not sure about Jiyoung, maybe sick of idol life

Rumour is that she's considering studying abroad.

Edit:

I don't hide it, so some friends and family and co-workers know I listen to K-Pop, though I use a non-Facebook/Twitter linked Grooveshark account (I hate social media spam) for my music listening -I don't really care one way or the other, but they don't know what exactly I am listening to because of this. They don't know that I repost gifs and images on message boards, however.

Edit 2:
The "Damaged Lady" teasers foretold of this day.

Of course they know, and well I do not care about what they think of me listening to Kpop. Some are likin' it, some are hatin' it, that's their business.

I can't believe Nicole is leaving Kara and Jiyoung is thinking about it. RIP KARA.

I wonder what they'll do if Jiyoung actually leaves. 4 members might work but 3 members would just be a shell of what the group was. They could add new members but that kind of bums me out because the 5 of them were together for so long.

A 4-Member Kara is still manageable/marketable, I agree that with 3 it hardly is. Maybe adding 1-2 members? Unthinkable now.
Was first into Kara before Soshi, it's sad.

Also no more of this...

No shame in liking 2BiC, and a little late but welcome! :)

I don't really care about what other people think about my music taste in general, but only my parents, brother and one of my best friends know I listen to k-pop. My friend isn't really into foreign music but I got him into it last month.

Watched the latest Running Man (165). Def one of the best eps in quite awhile, a lot of heart in this one. Reminded me of the earlier ones.

And man, too bad about Kara, was always a fan

I've been listening to kpop since like 1998 so most people who know me know. Some are right there with me, some used to be but moved on, some ask for recommendations now and then but most just don't get why I would listen to music I don't understand. It's been long enough that it's not really discussed anymore.

The only time i feel weird about it is when koreans think i'm weird because of it.

So who was sleeping on the job and forgot to post about the latest nugu K-pop group?
In the grand tradition of groups like BPPOP, Purplay, BBde Girl, P.O.P CON, Nep, Bikiny, etc., comes...

TREN-D - Candy Boy

The song is actually catchy and the girls are cute. What's not to like? But will they get a second single? Place your bets!
