Jiyeon and KARA's future
ジヨンとKARAの今後
Jiyeon, former KARA member, acting in Japan? "It is true that she has been in contact with the head of an entertainment agency..."
There is a view that former KARA member Jiyeon may debut as an actress in Japan.
Japanese weekly magazine Josei Jishin reported on the 10th that "Jiyeon will start her acting career in Japan this fall."
Josei Jishin has attracted attention by reporting that a Korean entertainment industry source said, "Jiyeon has decided to join a Japanese entertainment agency and start her acting career after the fall."
According to Josei Jishin's report, Jiyeon, who is currently studying abroad in London, was at a dinner party with friends when the female president of a Japanese entertainment agency, who happened to be visiting London for work, was also there. Jiyeon hit it off with the president, confessed her long-held desire to become an actress, and decided to pursue her dream of becoming an actress under the president's guidance.
The talent agency that the president is representing is "Sweet Power," which has many famous actresses active in the Japanese entertainment industry, such as Kuroki Meisa, Horikita Maki, and Kiritani Mirei. Therefore, interest is turning to whether Jiyeon will be able to make a new start as an actress there.
Sweet Power responded to the report by Josei Jishin, "It is true that the president met with her in London and discussed her acting career. However, her future work has not yet been decided."
Jiyeon left KARA and studied abroad in London in April.

There are many singers and groups who have come to Japan and been successful.
The group that has achieved the greatest success (100%) is undoubtedly KARA.
Low expectations, great results is a strange phrase, and I don't think it can be used as a slogan or a catchphrase, but it seems like a good way to briefly describe the success of the group KARA in Japan.
Singers and groups that come to Japan can be divided into two categories: those who have made a name for themselves in their home country, and those who haven't.
Many girls do well in both categories, but in Japan, the expenses involved in going abroad can add up, and there may be quite a few cases where they end up withdrawing in a bad mood.
If you want to work abroad, you have to be prepared to take some risks. Of course.
In the case of KARA, their re-debut in their home country was decent. They were able to make it to the edge of the charts.
When they first started working in Japan, they were said to be bad singers, like the many girl groups in Korea.
They once reached number one on the music charts in Korea, so they weren't a complete failure.
However, Wonder Girls and Girls' Generation were making a big splash in Korea at the time, and a rush of girls was starting to happen, trying to follow in Girls' Generation's footsteps.
Amidst the fierce competition between popular and influential girl groups, KARA was clearly lagging behind.
Korea is a small market. Even if they survive, it will not be easy to protect themselves.
In the midst of all this, DSP decided to send KARA to Japan as a way to survive.
DSP does not have the financial resources of a major agency.
Starting with small events, it was a one-way adventure, a desperate situation.
And so KARA's activities in a foreign country began.
Bringing the Internet (YouTube, etc.) with them, KARA parachuted in front of their Japanese fans.
The result is well known to many fans.
Their unrestrained dancing and clumsy singing ability, which still shows signs of improvement, may have made them easy for Japanese fans to get used to.
Their success is now a thing of yesterday, or a thing of the past.
With Nicole and Jiyeon gone, the new KARA has added new members and is about to step into the next era.
It remains to be seen whether they will be able to continue to capture the hearts of Japanese fans.
It is said that after graduating from KARA, Jiyeon may pursue an acting career in Japan.
It was not unexpected that Jiyeon would pursue a career in Japan.
Since Jiyeon has gained such popularity, she will likely continue to be active in the future.
I believe that whether in her home country or in Japan, Jiyeon will face challenges different from those she faced in KARA.
She can speak not only her own language, but also Japanese and English, so she could do anything, such as variety shows, singing, or acting, but I feel that the period in which Jiyeon can shine doing those things will not be very long.
To continue to shine, it would be better for her to focus on acting.
If she were to be successful in all areas, she would probably end up robbing Jiyeon of her shine, or rather her expiration date.
This is because the shine of window dressing fades quickly.
That is the scary thing about the entertainment industry.
There may be few jobs and little money, but the only way Jiyeon can maintain her popularity is as an actress.
If all goes well, she may even be able to pave the way to Hollywood.
