KARA cancels appearances, “URAKARA” to air as scheduled

Due to the contract terminations filed by KARA’s Seungyeon, Nicole, and Jiyoung, DSP Media will be halting all of their scheduled appearances.

Seungyeon, Nicole, and Jiyoung’s lawyers, Landmark, reported on January 19th that DSP Media will no longer be managing the three girls, and thus suspended their KARA schedules.

KARA will not be making an appearance at the “Seoul Music Awards“, scheduled for January 20th.  Leader Gyuri will also be temporarily halting her appearances on her radio program with Super Junior’s Shindong.

Representatives of DSP Media stated,”Gyuri was put in a state of shock after receiving notice of the contract terminations, and expressed that she could not take part in the live recording for her radio show on the morning of the 20th.”

Their Japanese drama, “URAKARA,” will continue to be aired as scheduled.  Representatives of Nihon TV spoke with Star News on the 20th and stated, “We are planning to air the episodes of ‘URAKARA’ according to schedule.  Rumors of KARA’s disbandment are worrying their Japanese fans.  Because their drama completed all the necessary filming, it will air without any problems.”
