The father of former Kara member Jiyoung has spoken out about reports his daughter is planning to debut as an actress in Japan.
E News Daily reports that they reached out to the singer's father for comments regarding recent reports that Jiyoung met with Sweet Power, a Japanese entertainment agency, in London, where she is currently a student.

However, Jiyoung's father says while she did meet reps from the company, no decisions have been made yet.
"The Japanese entertainment reps and Jiyoung simply had a meal together in London after running into each other there," he reportedly said to E News Daily. "Following completion of her studies, she will think about [whether or not she wants to work as an actress in Japan]."
Reports were initially made on June 9 regarding Jiyoung's lunch meeting saying that the Sweet Power reps flew to London specifically to meet with Jiyoung. With many fans curious what the future holds in store for the former Kara star, some other speculative reports have suggested Jiyoung will travel to the US to pursue a career after wrapping up her studies in England.
However, her father asks everyone to be patient while she concentrates on her education.
"Please just accept it as a meeting and nothing more. [Jiyoung] has not signed a contract yet," he said.
Sweet Power currently represents some of Japan's top actresses such as Meisa Kuroki, Maki Horikita, and Mirei Kiritani. Well-known Korean actress Kim Tae Hee has also currently working with the agency.
The 20-year-old idol singer announced in January of this year that she would be leaving Kara when her contract with the group's agency expired in April. The young star decided to go to London in order to focus on her acting and language skills.

Some reports are unbelievable. Good thing that Mr. Kang cleared things out. I'll support Baby JJing until the end. I know that God has better plans for her.
