> Twist and turns in the past 10 years... what is the next move of these KARA members?


 


Girl Group KARA which consisted of Park Gyuri, Han Seungyeon, Goo Hara, and Heo Youngji have finally disappeared into the past. Park Gyuri and Han Seungyeon who was the original member of KARA who have been active since 2008 and also member, Goo Hara have announced to leave their previous company, DSP Media on 15th of January.


 


Ever since their debut on 2007, they have been through member replacement, addition, and also a lot of up and down but they have managed to be the top girl group for 9 years. Even though the group itself has disappeared into the past, the activities of the 4 members are gaining a lot of interest.


 


 


> Park Gyuri, Han Seungyeon, and Goo Hara, starting fresh as actress?


 


There has been a rumour that after leaving DSP, Park Gyuri, Han Seungyeon, and Goo Hara will pursue career as actresses. It is well known that member Goo Hara has been talking with Key East Entertainment. Also all three members, while still actively promoting as KARA, has been active and made a lot of appearance on screen too.


 


Especially Park Gyuri who made her initial debut as an actress on 1995 MBC's Today's A Good Day's popular corner, Sonagi. Not only did she appeared on SBS ' 'Yeoin Cheonha' before her debut in KARA, she was also in the movie 'Two Dates', she showed her acting with Kim Jae Wook and Chae Jeong An. This film was nominated at the 20th Busan Film Festival.

In Han Seungyeon's case, after KARA promotion on 2014, he accomplished herself as an actress by appearing on SBS Plus Drama 'Her Lovely Heels' and MBC Drama 'She Has Come! Jang BoRi'. She also took a leap forward by also appearing on MBC 2015 Drama Festival - Guitars and Hot Pant which was broadcasted on November 2014.


 


Even though we are still not sure what they're next activity is going to be, we know that the acting companies got them on their back. It is known that Han Seungyeon is in talk with WidMay Entertainment which is a home of actor Hong Jonghyun who she have showed a chemistry with in the previous drama 'Her Lovely Heels'. Until now, WidMay entertainment is still closed about this.


 


Recently, it has been confirmed that Goo Hara have made a contract with Key East entertainment. Key East is an entertainment which has a lot of Hallyu actors such as Bae Yong Jun, Kim Soo Hyun, and Kim Hyun Joong.

> Will Heo Youngji catch two rabbit at once as a Solo singer and Variety star?


 


We are anticipating Youngji's more appearance in variety show as 'Variety's Blue Chip' as she have appeared before in many variety shows right after her debut with KARA as in MBC Everyone's Weekly Idol as a member of Cham Sonyeo and in SBS Roommate.


 


Right now, Heo Youngji is part of MBC variety program 'My Money Partner: Neighborhood CEOs' with Defconn, Hwang Jae Geun, Shim HyungTaek, and Park Narae.


 


Heo Youngji is establishing her own character in variety like someone who has more than 3 years of experimence as an idol and doesn't seem like an idol group member. There has been a solid rumour that she's currently preparing for her solo debut and you'll be able to see things you've never seen before.

Of course it's a fact that Heo Youngji and the other members will stay in the entertainment industry even in ten years. But the future is not dark for them as they will also follow Nicole, who left KARA in 2013 and establish a new kind of image for themselves.


 


On one side, DSP Media has confirmed on January 15th that the three members Park Gyuri, Han Seungyeon, and Goo Hara will be moving to another company. DSP Media's representative said, "We are supporting and wishing them all the happiness for Park Gyuri, Han Seungyeon, and Goo Hara. Heo Youngji will strive to bring better images of her as our artist".

im really sad right now. Why arent they posting anything on instagram or twitter? Why letting us know by the media? I still love them and i support them, but they shoukd say something at least :(

It's a bit of a business custom in SK that disbandments and such are done through 'proper' channels. Idols personally only speak up A) After the dust has settled B) If the company is misrepresenting something.

That being said, Gu Hara noona posted a handwritten letter on her Twitter account just today, with the caption 'Thank You' in korean.

I'm still waiting on someone to translate the letter but just seeing her post it made me tear up a little again.
