KARA’s heartwarming messages to Japanese Kamilia

To our beloved fans,

Everyone… I’m not sure how to greet you…
More than anything, I am worried about everyone’s safety and health.
The sudden earthquake in the middle of the drama filming, although we were shocked, I think that everyone else must have been more surprised than we were.
I’m now back in Korea and I’m always listening to the news and reading on the internet about the situation in Japan.
Everyone, for everyone to not be hurt, I’m praying about it so hard… how should I say it…
I am really unsure…
But although the situation is scary and dangerous, I am praying hard that the day when I will see you all smiling comes sooner.
Please cheer up with the support of everyone, including mine.

Gyuri

To the fans who are currently in trouble,

On the 11th the afternoon weather was very good and I was excited. In Japan it was the first time since my birth that I felt an earthquake.
I really can’t express how I felt in words. We hurriedly put on the news on TV and saw a scene that I have never even seen in a movie.
I couldn’t say a word. Even for a day, I couldn’t sleep because of fear.
I still can’t imagine it now, the fear and unease that those people have experienced.
I really hope that the moment where you can all be calm will come quicker, even by just a minute, even by just a second.
What kind of comforting words should I say? What kind of support can I give? Yes, it might be such a small thing, but I hope that you will be able to see the light of life and power through this.
Although right now it is hard, I really believe that you are people that have great courage!
Please cheer up!

Seungyeon

Kamilia:

It’s been 4 days since the earthquake,
for some people their lives have been flipped upside down; for some changed forever.
For those whose family and friends have become victims to this disater…
I can’t imagine the confusion and pain you are going through right now.
Please do not lose hope, don’t lose faith.
My thoughts are with you ♥

To our beloved fans,

We too are watching the internet and the news. Although I’ve also seen the current situation caused by the earthquake, when looking at the unfortunate situation on the screen, watching it was very difficult.
The only thing I can hope was that everyone would be able to recover from this quickly.
“If everyone will share each other’s joy, then their sorrow will be halved,” just like the saying.
If I can I’d like to help ease the pain of every Japanese person.
Don’t lose hope! Please cheer up!

Hara

To all of our Japanese fans,

Everyone, good morning!! I’m KARA’s Jiyoung! Right now, I believe that Japan is in such trouble because of the earthquake. About this situation, the only thing I can do is to pray that everyone is safe…
Because of all our fan’s encouragement we KARA can do our best every day!! That’s why now I want to cheer you all on!! Everyone! Believe!!! Please don’t lose!!
Please look forward!!
We too will become strong so everyone be strong too!! I’ll be cheering you on!!
Do you best <3

KARA will be donating all their income from their new single “Jet Coaster Love” towards disaster relief efforts.

A representative from DSP Media stated, “…for the victims of the earthquakes and tsunamis, all of the proceeds from KARA’s new single will be donated.”

They added,“The KARA members are very hurt for the Japanese people and fans who have showed them so much love. They’re constantly looking for updates on the internet and television… They were looking for a way to help victims, and decided on donating the money from their new single.”

KARA Goo Hara will be debut as an actress SBS 'City Hunter'

Representatives of DSP Media commented, “Whenever we received casting offers for dramas, we were highly concerned with the unresolved controversy surrounding KARA and weren’t able to make a decision. However, acting has been another important course for idol singers lately, so we felt that this would be a great opportunity and decided to cast her for the role after much discussion.”

They continued, “Because of the group’s Japanese promotions, we know that a lot of their Korean fans are disappointed with the lack of Korean activities, which was pressuring to us as well. We’ll be starting by reviving the members’ individual activities in order to further work hard and make sure that KARA can greet their fans as a group once again.”

KARA Trio lawyer speak up about KARA Lawsuit

Three days after KARA’s Seungyeon, Nicole, and Jiyoung filed their lawsuit against DSP Media, the agency’s legal representatives have released an official statement refuting the girls’ claims.

On the morning of February 17th, DSP Media’s legal representative, Im Sang Hyuk, spoke with Star News and stated, “It’s said that the lawsuit was filed on February 14th, but it was actually filed on the 11th. Their accusation has not arrived yet, but DSP Media will be preparing to take legal action. This case is different in various ways from the TVXQ lawsuit.” (Im is also the lawyer for JYJ against SM Entertainment.)

He continued, “The representatives of the three KARA members claimed that each member only received $860 USD from January through June of 2010 from album sales made during their ‘Lupin‘ promotions. Their claim made it seem as if this amount was all that the members received for their income during this time period, but they are hiding the accurate truth.”

Im continued, “Aside from their album sales, KARA was distributed a total of $200,000 USD per member from income made through CFs, events, broadcast appearances, digital sales, and mobile sales.”

DSP Media’s lawyer further revealed that all promotional expenses were taken out from the income made through their album sales, and the girls were given a total of $1 million USD during this promotional period, which was divided into $200,000 USD per member.

Im further claims that Landmark’s demands for a change in administration was an invasion of DSP Media’s administration rights. “After Lee Ho Yeon CEO was hospitalized, his wife received full administrative rights and successfully advanced KARA into Japan. She has done absolutely nothing wrong. Because of this, Landmark demanding that the company change administrators is an invasion of DSP Media’s right of management.”

He continued, “KARA’s contracts have already passed the evaluation review by the Fair Trade Commission. There is nothing wrong with their contracts, which is why we believe that Landmark is acting as if these three members experienced a loss in their income.”

Im concluded, “We will continue to attempt discussions, but now that the three members have already taken legal action, we will be responding in the same manner.”

More info about KARA Trio lawsuit case,DSP revealed about it

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.”

SS501 Kim Kyu Jong said ' KARA should be more careful next time and stay as 5 member

SS501’s Kim Kyu Jong gave his thoughts on the KARA dispute with DSP Media through an interview with Daily Sports.

KARA’s former labelmate expressed, “I might have to give the girls a light clout when I see them. It’s upsetting that such a situation arose when they were doing so well. No matter what agency they go to, they have to remain as one. I hope they never forget that.”

Kim Kyu Jong continued, “I’ve been watching over KARA since they were trainees, so it feels good to see the level of popularity they’ve achieved in Japan. It’s only just now that they’re finally harvesting the fruits of their labor, but it’s upsetting that this had to happen. I hope that they don’t become swayed by the words of those around them, and focus on gathering their opinion as one.”

Kim Kyu Jong left DSP Media in 2010 and is now a part of B2M Entertainment.
