KARA's future
KARA今後の活路
★ KARA Jiyeon
KARA Jiyeon, following Nicole in leaving the group...declares that she will study abroad!
Jiyeon (20) will leave KARA without expressing her intention to renew her contract, following Nicole.
On the 15th, her agency DSP Media announced through an official press release, "Jiyeon expressed her intention to study abroad during the contract renewal discussions.
She has an exclusive contract period with the agency and scheduled schedules until April."
The agency continued, "Jiyeon conveyed her position through a notice that stated her position on the contract extension without a certified letter, saying that she would not extend her contract unless there was a new agreement.
The agency intended to hold additional discussions with Jiyeon's side regarding the contract extension. "On the day, unexpected information was reported, so we confirmed Jiyeon's intentions again.
We received a message that she still wants to leave KARA and pursue her studies and acting career."
With this, KARA will reorganize their team with Gyuri, Seungyeon, and Hara as the core members from April onwards, and will continue with their schedule.

Jiyeon will also be leaving KARA.
Of the first-generation members Nicole, and the second-generation members Hara and Jiyeon, Jiyeon will also be leaving, and KARA will have no choice but to add a new member and start the third generation.
They are literally in a situation where one lung has been taken out.
I assume that the selection of new members has already begun.
I think three new members would be best.
There are many groups, such as KARA and Wonder Girls, that have been successful by adding two new members to make up for one missing member.
Crayon Pop is one example.
KARA seems to be planning to replace the two members lost due to the departure, and maintain the five-member structure while trying to change their image.
Maintaining the five-member structure seems to have a strong defensive purpose.
I don't think they will be able to return to their overwhelming popularity this way.
K-pop's popularity has now hit rock bottom and is beginning to pick up.
In this situation, one has to say that the battle to maintain influence lacks motivation and appeal.
It is reasonable to assume that this gradual decline will continue.
If KARA is to start a third generation, they should instead add more members and continue their aggressive style.
They should fill in for the missing Nicole and Jiyeon (dancing and singing), and add someone like Hara who can play the role of a mood maker, and stick to a positive, proactive style.
They should never aim for a second generation or more, and slowly climb down the mountain with the help of KARA's accumulated assets (fans).
If they are really committed to protecting KARA, I feel that one new member would be enough.
In that case, it might be better for the fourth member to be someone who can bring out the best in the three members Gyuri, Seungyeon, and Hara.

KARA's Jiyeon, recent status just before leaving the group, "Her skinny appearance" is heartbreaking

Jiyeon's recent appearance after announcing her departure from KARA has been caught and is drawing attention.
On the 11th, Jiyeon posted only one photo on her Instagram without any special comment.
In the photo, she is smiling with all her might, but she looks like she is in pain and her face is thin. She looks haggard, perhaps due to the intense mental fatigue caused by her departure from KARA.
On the 15th, her agency DSP Media announced through an official press release, "During the discussions over renewal of her contract, Jiyeon expressed her desire to study abroad. She has an exclusive contract period and scheduled schedule with DSP Media until April." They continued, "Jiyeon conveyed her position on the contract extension in a written notice, not a certified letter, stating that she would not extend the contract unless there was a new agreement, and we had planned to have additional discussions with Jiyeon's side about the contract extension at some point. On the day, the contents were unintentionally reported, and Jiyeon reaffirmed her intention and conveyed that she still wants to leave KARA and pursue her studies and acting career."
With Jiyeon and Nicole gone, KARA will restructure the team with Gyuri, Seungyeon, and Hara after April and continue with their future schedules.
