JJW

Jiyoung changed her profile picture to this: http://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/1291091156/n5lK6Q0Y_bigger By the way, it was made by a fellow kamilia!!

oh i see. thanks for the clarification!!

^ Yeah that part does sound a little fishy. Like she is hinting at something. Hopefully, I'm just over analyzing.

Behind the Scene of URAKARA. Jiyoung is so cute

Yesasia changed the expected release date to April 6. That's only a few weeks for now.....eekkk!!!

I have never been a huge Hara fan. However after this, I have gained more respect for her and will pay more attention to her now. HARA Jjang!

I am so so glad she is back!!! Hopefully things will slowly return to normal for all the KARA members!!

Finally, our charismatic leader is back!!! She looks tired though. I hope she stays strong. Gyuri Fighting!! Also it was really sweet of K-kamilia to send her all that stuff. I know it means a lot to know there are still people supporting her and KARA.

OMG. I'm so glad she is back. Thanks so much for uploading!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe KARA won't do as well as planned. Now that this devastating disaster hit Japan, maybe more people will use that money towards the relief efforts rather than on buying albums. I mean Japan is going to need EPIC relief efforts to get many cities and families back on their feet. Experts are predicting that it may take as long as 10 years.

awwww...that makes me sad. Oh well. I guess it's back to praying.......Thanks for letting me know!

So any word on whether or not KARA will perform in Thailand this weekend? I really hope they do

She looks good with them. Also, most of the members have more than one hole pierced in their ears.

I had no idea I could be this affected by celebrities but I am. First of all, I have never been a Kpop fan until I discovered KARA. They are my one and only when it comes to Kpop. I don't find any of the other groups appealing. Since this has happened, my grades have slowly gotten worse because I have been focusing more on their news than my school work. It's bad because I am about to apply for the school of nursing and this isn't helping. I really hope KARA can resolve this problem soon and PEACEFULLY. If not.....I might go INSANE

I'm a Gyuri. I'm a goddess It's true though, the description matched my personality almost perfectly except the confidence part. I wish I was as confident as her. You're GyuRi. You're very confident and some people might think you're cold but you really aren't once they get to know you. You're fun and caring.

Oh my gosh! That's a huge relief :sweatdrop: Thanks everyone. What would I do with all the awesome kamilia here. Thanks guys

^ Yea I know I'm kinda jumping to conclusions. I'm just really bummed right now. Just when I thought things were looking up. They threw everyone a curve ball.

He did say leader......

Ham's dad accepted an interview recently and criticized gyuri, stating "when there's a problem, gyuri, as the leader, should suggest some solutions... (she is) not fulfilling her duty as a result, things started rolling in a wrong way" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkIa4txNdmA Found on: giantbabyjing.tumblr I think Ham's dad is being a little too irrational. Now the media is going to blow everything even more out of proportion. They are probably going to question the members' relationship with each other even more now. That was TOO hasty of a move on his part. I'm very disappointed in him.....

KARA’s Nicole, Seungyeon, & Jiyoung formally file a lawsuit against DSP Media The contract termination dispute between KARA’s Seungyeon, Nicole, and Jiyoung against DSP Media has escalated into a legal battle. On February 14th, representatives of the three members filed a lawsuit against DSP Media, asking the Seoul Central District Court to confirm that their three exclusive contracts were invalid. They also claimed that their incomes were not distributed fairly. Through their head representative, the three members of KARA stated, “Without prior compromise, the agency deducted promotional fees from our income without our consent, which is classified under embezzlement. From January through June of 2010, we brought in $410,000 USD in income, while the promotional expenses amounted to $390,000 USD. The expenses are abnormally excessive.” They continued, “Even when ‘Lupin‘ was at its highest point in popularity, DSP Media only paid $860 USD per member for a total of six months. The $140 USD that we were paid a month is unfair compared to the income that we brought in.” Landmark previously sent notice to DSP Media regarding the termination of the three contracts on January 19th. Although the members resumed their scheduled activities, the two parties were not able to come to an agreement during their repeated attempts at reconciliation over the course of 25 days. The dispute’s escalation into a legal battle has caught both fans and industry representatives off guard, and many are speculating about what this could mean for KARA as a unit of five. A representative of DSP Media spoke through Sports Today and stated, “We’re shocked. We met several times, but it is true that the dispute went back to first base with each discussion. But because of their ‘URAKARA‘ filming in Japan, we agreed to speak with their parents upon their return. Now that we found out that they filed a lawsuit, we’re just shocked. First of all, we will be having a meeting within our company first before releasing further statements.” The representative also told Star News, “Their head representative claimed that the girls only received $860 USD per member for six months of their ‘Lupin’ promotions, but that is truly ridiculous. We deducted six months worth of their entire promotional expenses from the profits made off of their album sales. Thus, we did not deduct anything from their promotions in other areas such as CFs. Unlike what the three are claiming, we paid them a larger sum, but they’re claiming as if we’ve embezzled. DSP Media releases official statement regarding KARA’s lawsuit After being hit with a lawsuit yesterday by KARA’s Seungyeon, Nicole, and Jiyoung, DSP Media released an official statement about their position on February 14th. Through a press report, the agency stated, “Because we were not delivered the accusation yet, we will speak with a lawyer once it is delivered and take the appropriate action then. Aside from the lawsuit, we will do our absolute best to ensure that KARA’s future activities are fulfilled. Their claims of flawed income distribution is a huge distortion. All of the payments made by DSP Media were done according to their contracts, and this will be further confirmed through the process of the lawsuit. The legal process has begun, and we hope that the three KARA members will refrain from making one-sided claims that are unconfirmed. DSP Media will also be refraining from making any statements outside of the legal discussion, like we have done thus far. We will be prioritizing KARA’s future, no matter the lawsuit. DSP Media will make sure that this controversy is resolved in an amicable matter. Before the three members of KARA filed the lawsuit, we have made repeated attempts to resolve the situation. While we were looking forward to discussions and for misunderstandings to be resolved, the lawsuit has taken us by surprise.” KARA’s trio to hold a press conference this week KARA’s Nicole, Seungyeon and Jiyoung filed a lawsuit against DSP Media earlier today, and it was revealed that they will be holding a press conference by February 15th at the earliest to state their stand. A representative stated, “On the 15th or 16th, representatives of the three members will be holding a press conference and announce their positions in a more detailed fashion.” The attendance of the three members has yet to be confirmed, as KARA is scheduled to leave for Japan on the 17th to continue their activities there. Interestingly enough, industry representatives claim that during the time that they were in Korea, the three KARA members attended recording sessions for their new Japanese album with their other groupmates. This attendance, however, was done under the agreement made with DSP Media on January 27th to fulfill all pre-scheduled activities prior to the dispute. This agreement also includes their Japanese activities, which explains why the group must return to Japan as complete unit in order to continue filming for their drama, ”URAKARA“. Though KARA is scheduled to depart on the 17th, Jiyoung will be leaving a day earlier due to a personal schedule. Source: allkpop I'm not sure if all of it is true. We will have to wait for more reliable translations but this isn't looking too good..... Just when everyone thought they would compromise, they surprise everyone with an official law suit

Stupid reporters Do they really think by storming them and creating chaos, it's really going to get KARA to answer their questions? Everyone just needs to give the girls and DSP some time to figure everything out instead of making the matters worse.

I like them all pretty equally. Except for the fact that I like Jiyoung a little bit more......

She doesn't look too well in that last picture. I hope she is okay. These recent events sure has taken a huge toll on her. Jiyoung stay strong. Love ya. FIGHTING!!

I still like KARA doing Mister better than the thought of them doing Gee. The butt dance and KARA are one and should never be separated.
