Translation from allkpop: "To my dear Kamilia," she began:"I'm sorry for making you worry with rumors of our re-contracting and breaking apart ... and for hurting you. But I was also surprised and disbelieving at the fact that my departure and contract issues were publicized, just before our Japanese tour. But I wanted to speak my mind about the matter so I'm going to post it here.The most important thing ... I started as a KARA member and I want to see the end as a KARA member. But after reading the articles and interviews saying that I would be switched out from KARA since I wasn't up for a contract renewal ... it was very frustrating and confusing.I think that my renewal debate with DSP Media is not a renewal as a KARA member, but as an artist. Although I may not be an artist under the company, I hope to find a solution where I can continue with the group I've been with since the beginning.I'm just one person. I don't think that KARA should change, or be broken apart, because of me. So I thought about splitting up my contracts between me as a KARA member and me in relation to the company, split between my private and public life.I still have a lot of goals. That's why I want to re-make myself, while doing my best within KARA. To do that, I feel that I need time and effort ... that's why I decided to not renew my personal contract with DSP, since I wanted to put that effort into my future.As KARA, we received much love from Kamilia and want to show a better side of us to you, but as this happening escalates and hurts you ... it hurts me too. I was hurt by the stories about renewals and member changes. I don't think that a single person owns KARA. Since I'm a member of KARA and am responsible for the name, I had the same thoughts as above.But if everyone and representatives of KARA disagree with me and consider this impossible, I will return to a private person by the name of Jung Nicole.Regardless of my renewal status with the company, I promise to continue promoting as a KARA member. I do, and always will, love KARA and am happy working as a KARA member ... and the group is such a big part of my life.Thank you so much to everyone who loves and supports us ..."

This is odd... shouldn't an official statement be based on actual FACTS - "Nicole has REVEALED that she has NO INTENTION of renewing her contract with DSP..." but now, DSP says "For Nicole, she has not shown us ANY response regarding the contract renewal. So, we are assuming her contract will expire in January." So the people in the company do not communicate with each other? They distort each others' words for media play? This is too much isn't it? What's there to stir? The girls are doing well so why start all these again... weird! If this is a way to test how the fans will react if nicole and jing did not renew the contract, then it's obviously a lousy strategy. And if they want to put pressure on the two to renew... it may backfire! DSP really need to sit down and think before they act!

Yes, it doesn't but at least we get the photobook and the Eng subbed dvd content is already worth the money. The Japanese version is at least twice the amount.
