Goo Hara transforms into a rocker, with a strong visual with a narrow waist

KARA member Goo Hara's transformation into a rocker has become a hot topic.

Goo Hara posted a photo of herself transformed into a rocker through 31 Japanese Instagram. In the photo released, Goo Hara is seen waiting in the waiting room of the stage with a standing microphone.

Goo Hara has transformed into a perfect rocker with black fashion and strong makeup, but her narrow waist that is visible under the black top is attracting the attention of netizens.

I thought that the two KARA members who had the image of being able to stand on their own, if that were the case, would be Hara and Jiyoung. Although these two were members who joined later, they brought about the result of equipping KARA, which was originally a small group, with a powerful engine like a two-stage rocket. And then he progressed to the star group.
"Mr." is a good song, but it probably didn't become such a big hit just because of the charm of the song and dance. The freshness of Hara and Jiyeon's freshly-picked vegetables, Hara's dance and visuals, and Jiyeon's singing ability that belies her age are the major factors that captured the hearts of fans.

Therefore, I thought that if KARA, which once overcame the crisis of disbanding, were to face a crisis again, it would be when ``Hara and Jiyoung wished to become independent'' at the time of contract renewal. Since he joined later, he probably has strict conditions, but the strictness of the contract (called a slave contract) for the former members is probably not that different. In any case, when you jump out, you need the determination to defy the strong gravitational force.
Considering that point, Curie, Seungyoung, and Nicole are not good enough to jump out of KARA. Even if it's a little inconvenient, KARA☆'s brilliance is hard to throw away.
However, in the case of Hara and Jiyoung, considering the popularity they already had, they believed that if they left the group on good terms, they would be able to become independent, but if they were dissatisfied with their work remuneration, they might decide to leave the group.

However, my expectations were wrong. This is because Nicole announced early that she would not renew her contract.
I wondered what that meant (?), but when I thought about it more carefully, I realized that the previous incident was a ``product of compromise'' that postponed the fundamental solution and served as a period of consideration.
The flames that flared up again are now expected to calm down due to Nicole's withdrawal, Jiyeon's study abroad, and Seungyeon's change of heart.
It appears that Nicole's departure was expected by the agency. Maybe it's because we've had several discussions with him, but it doesn't seem like he's actively trying to get her to stay. It seems that Ji-young will be easily accepted to study abroad.

It appears that KARA will continue its activities even if the two are removed from the force.
The issue here is what to do with the membership. The decision is whether to continue as a group of three members or to add new members. Even if you add new members, there are two ways to do it. Either they should create a style that inherits the territory that Nicole and Jiyoung had, or they should create a new style with all the members using their rattles.
I'm leaning towards the latter.
It is said that when the red jellyfish ages, it can shed all the old parts of its body and return to its childlike state. They cannot live forever because they have natural enemies and get eaten.
Currently, KARA has had members withdraw from the group or take temporary leave, and the group is reaching its expiration date and aging faster.

What kind of image will the new KARA appear with with new members? My feelings are already moving in that direction.
At that time, I think the leader should be courageous.
Isn't this visual the best!

KARA splits within the year...Nicole eventually leaves, Jiyoung goes to study abroad

It has been confirmed that Nicole (22) will be leaving the Korean five-member group ``KARA'' when her contract with her agency expires in mid-January next year. Nicole wanted to stay, but the agency decided that it was impossible for her to continue working with KARA. Additionally, Jiyoung (19), whose contract ends in April, is likely to take a hiatus due to her studies abroad. The current system that led the K-Pop boom will end by the end of this year.

Regarding Nicole, a source from her agency, DSP Media, stated, ``If she doesn't return to the agency, it will be impossible for us to work together as KARA.''

In September, Nicole sent a letter to DSP stating that she would not renew the contract. The decision will not be withdrawn, and the source said, ``Nicole will not be able to continue her activities with KARA.''

New contract negotiations are underway for Nicole with another agency. According to those close to him, he is in talks with several agencies, including ``Well Made Star M,'' to which actor Lee Jong Suk (24), with whom he has co-starred in a work, belongs.

On the other hand, it turns out that Ji-yeon, a current university student, wants to study abroad in North America because her older sister is studying abroad in Japan. DSP has indicated that she is willing to accept this, and it is likely that she will suspend her entertainment activities once she moves to the United States.

The remaining members after April are Gyuri (25), Seungyoung (25), and Hara (22). DSP has stated that they will not be disbanding, and a source said, ``There is a possibility that additional members may be added.''

The best album "BEST GIRLS" and single "French Kiss", which will be released simultaneously on the 27th of this month, will be the last works by the five members. Their current Japan tour has performances remaining in three cities, including Fukui and Saitama, and it is likely that the two will make an announcement on the final day of the tour in Kobe on the 24th.
