2011.01.25 (cont.)

- 6:10 pm this afternoon, DSP responded back to the 3 members’ requests. However, the details of these responses have not been revealed at the moment.

- Beside all the revealed requests/conditions from the meeting this morning, Joinsmsn reported that the 3 members have requested to shorten their contracts from 3~4 remaining years to end in July of next year, as they would like to end their contract at the same time their contract with Universal Japan ends. They have also requested DSP to have a transparent accounting system and contract system.

- DSP representative revealed his thoughts, “Isn’t the demand to shorten the contract and to change the executive management system a bit too much?” However, they further revealed, “We have discussed and well received part of the demands for the members to return through reinforcing the management team and making a transparent accounting and contract system.”

- According to Starnews, “In the worst case, if an agreement cannot be reached, KARA would be like DBSK and JYJ. Currently, the representative the 3rd party - Bae Hooseol has appeared.” But they also said members expressed strong desires to continue to work together therefore the possibility to reach an agreement is really high/positive. Currently the two sides are taking that aspect as a core to solve the problem.

- DSP especially said, “Because of the precious KARA’s fans and all of the KARA members, we believe that Kara will return and continue working together. Before things go out of reach, the two sides are trying hard to solve the problem.”

- According to information that was confirmed by TV report, the registration to trademark the name of KARA from DSP can hardly be accepted. The reason is because they do not have parental consent from the member Kang Jiyoung, inherently still a minor. Under Korean law, those related to minors must be approved by the minors’ legal representatives. That means if Jiyoung’s family does not approve this, the members can still use the name KARA even when they separate from DSP.

It feels like the situation isn't getting better. Seems like none of the problems are solved. They are only postponing their termination of contract by another 1 and the half years.

I think if DSP really changes and manages better, they can renew their contracts any time. If DSP fails, then in 2012, they can move to another agency and continue Kara :thumbup:
