DSP Media revealed that Nicole will not be renewing her contract with the company and will be dropping out of girl group KARA.  However, many people are wondering what she plans to do next.

According to multiple sources in the industry, "After the upcoming performance in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan on November 24, Nicole plans to leave KARA and pursue solo activities."  Nicole had a contract with DSP Media until January of next year, but without a renewal, she is going in the direction of a solo career.


KARA is in the middle of deciding whether to keep their group as is or add a new member after Nicole leaves.  In addition, member Jiyoung, whose contract expires later than the other girls, is still contemplating whether she should stay on as a member or shift her focus on her studies.
