i dunno he's kinda right but the way he talked about the three is rude :eviltongu

i hope that won't take a long time D:

4minute Girl 21st January 2011 06:45 PM

hopefully they go back now. he is a very influential and powerful person in the industry, he's been around for 30+ years and is involved in a lot more than just CCM. it doesn't look good for the 3 girls if they decide not to go back :no
aside from being the CEO of CCM he's also a higher up in mnet/cj and iirc they own a lot of shares from DSP and distribute all their albums, so he stands to lose money from Kara's disbandment as well

adantatu2 21st January 2011 10:26 PM

I think they are tired and sick of the company,
they have to promote their music in Japan and Korea, they have a lot of work everyday!!
i hope they can return without tons of work, they are persons, not robots!
just look some of the last photos of SNSD, they look so tired, and i'm feeling another split in their case soon IMO

On January 23rd, the fathers of KARA’s Jiyoung and Seungyeon spoke with reporters from MBC’s “Section TV“ through a phone interview and revealed, “We have decided to negotiate with DSP Entertainment for the 24th.”

Jiyoung’s father said,”Whether she returns to DSP has yet to be decided, but I hope to create good results through yielding little by little. The members have expressed that they cannot separate no matter what.”

Seungyeon’s father added, “It’s not possible to be 100% satisfied in life. You just live. KARA consists of five members, it cannot be KARA with one missing. I spoke with Seungyeon and she was crying. Emotionally, she was probably very shocked.”
it looks like things are getting better

Quote:

It was recently announced on January 25th that the three estranged members of KARA (Han Seungyeon, Jung Nicole, and Kang Ji Young) have been working together with DSP Media to find a mutual agreement and solve the current controversy.

“A conference is underway to find a peaceful solution. As we are currently discussing the details, we cannot yet reveal the current situation and hope for your understanding.”

The following is the official statement by DSP Media:

We, DSP Media, are currently putting in our best efforts in discussing with the three members (Han Seungyeon, Jung Nicole, and Kang Ji Young), who requested a contract termination with the agency on January 19th, to find a mutual solution.

On January 25th at 10 AM, we received a request from the three members’ legal representative, thus we are now currently in a conference to find a peaceful solution. As we are currently discussing the details, we cannot yet reveal the current situation and hope for your understanding.

For the sake of their important fans, KARA members have not changed their belief that the group must continue as five, and in order to stop this situation from escalating any further, both sides are hoping that a mutual agreement can be made.

Furthermore, as much as we are trying to find a peaceful solution, we sincerely request to suppress from releasing random articles.

some more info about what the 3 members of kara want
Quote:

The three members of KARA have finally revealed their demands in their contract adjustments with DSP Media, with the two main points being to shorten the contract time and having a modification in the board of directors.

With the three members having a contract that still lasts another 3-4 years, the trio has demanded their contracts be shortened to July of 2012 instead, as they would like to end their contract at the same time their contract with Universal Japan ends. They have also requested a more professional management team, as well as a transparent accounting system.

In addition, the three have requested for the resignation of the wife of CEO Lee Ho Yeon, who had been his replacement since last year after he fell into a coma. The trio would also like for a new system, whereby their legal representative could participate in the group’s accounting and contract audits.

It was later announced that DSP Media would agree to only partially meet their demands. A representative stated, “Isn’t demanding a shortening of their contract and a change in directors a bit too much? For reinforcing the management team and making a transparent accounting and contract system, if the members are willing to come back and discuss further, then there are possibilities that they can be partially accepted.”
tbh, that new CEO should quit:o she isn't her husband, left that work for someone ready to do it

RyRyMini 26th January 2011 04:36 AM

So if that rumor is true, that means their new single is called "Jet Coaster Love"

Jet Coaster love sounds really good, but not as catchy as their other songs. I'm looking forward to it in full!

MORE GOOD NEWSSSSSS
Quote:

KARA’s agency, DSP Media, and the representatives for three of the group’s members (Kang Jiyoung, Jung Nicole, Han Seungyeon) met for a second round of negotiation talks regarding the existing schedule and group members.

In a news item released on January 27th, it was revealed that as a result of the second talks, KARA will remain as a five-member group and will work together to continue their scheduled activities.

DSP Media representatives said, “The reached agreement for the five members to work together was in order to not cause problems for the scheduled activities.” Adding on, “In a restaurant in Gangnam, Seoul, the CEO of DSP and the parents of Kang Jiyoung, Jung Nicole, and Han Seungyeon met for the first time since the dispute occurred and talked for 8 hours. Because no negotiations were reached in the last meeting on the 25th between the legal representatives, this meeting was initiated.”

DSP Media continued, “At this meeting, the parents of the three members who were leaving the agency and the DSP Media CEO tried to agree on their demands. Thus, the urgent issue of the existing scheduled activities was resolved.”

Furthermore, DSP Media added, “The results of the issues discussed and plans of future meetings were not determined.”

I wish it was a reality show, the girls are much more entertaining/charming on them. I actually downloaded it thinking it was a reality show but it's just a really stupid drama with very bad acting. I feel bad that the girls have to waste their time with it.

All Proceeds From Kara's New Single Will Be Donated To Japan's Relief Fund

Kara has decided to donate all the money from the sales of their new single "Jet Coaster Love" to the relief effort in Japan.

With relief efforts underway in Japan after the devastating earthquake and tsunami, the girl group Kara has decided to donate all the proceeds from their new single "Jet Coaster Love" to the relief efforts. Although digital distribution for the new single has already start, physical copies of the single will not be available until an undetermined date. The group did not want the distribution of their single to interfere with the distribution of aid to places that need it.

The group was in Japan for a TV drama shoot when the earthquake struck. It was the first time group member Han Seung Yeon had ever felt an earthquake. "Although these people are experiencing such a hard time, I firmly believe they have tremendous courage to overcome the challenge" she stated.
While I'm not an active listener of KARA, I am very impressed with their effort to donate 100% of the proceeds of their new single to aid those affected by the earthquake in Japan. That is very inspiring and beyond generous of them. I am very awed by this and I know their Japanese fans especially must be moved by this as I know I am. Although I had no intentions on buying this single, I might just get it for the cause! :)

hearted 21st March 2011 07:30 PM

^omg thats really really amazing :heart:heart love these girls so much ;___;

love in music 21st March 2011 07:35 PM

that's amazing, they are a good example for all
Also the digital single of Jet Coaster Love is leaked in 320kbps

that's really sweet of them, giving back for the people who loves them, Japan really deserves it :heart

the full single is now available in 192 kbps

AyusakiFan 24th March 2011 05:36 PM

I'm so confused about which version of the single to get. I want the one with the DVD because it has the music video, I want the one with the photobook because I think if the booklet is anything like the cover, the pics are going to be gorgeous, and I want the CD only because it has an extra song. But financially, I can only purchase one. Which version are you all getting?

adantatu2 25th March 2011 12:47 AM

NEW release date for Jet Coaster Love: 6th of April !!!!!
yay!!!
And honestly i prefer buy the CD+DVD versions of the singles, but i don't buy singles of KARA, an aunt bought for me Girl's Talk, and that's all (sadly idk what happened with this, i haven't received yet). And they don't release the pvs on the album, that's a good reason to buy CD+DVDs sometimes

Thank you so much for your imput. I normally always buy the CD+DVD versions of albums and singles (unless the PV is going to be on DVD of the album) so I've certainly been leaning more towards the limited edition with the DVD moreso than the others. I don't really care about remixes and I know if I get the version with the photobook, I'm only going to look at it once or twice and it will never see the light of day again as I'm not really into KARA that much. Plus, the DVD version is the most expensive which means that it's more money to help aid those affected by the tsunami and earthquake. :)
