Gyu Ri in shock - Ha Ra wants to save Kara but is too late

[fizzjizz.livejournal.com]

4 out of 5 members of Kara has decided to terminate their exclusive contract with their management company, DSP Media. Out of the 4 it is Park Gyu Ri that is the only member that was not included in this termination request. Due to the shock of the situation Park Gyu Ri will not be hosting tonight's live recording of "Shin Dong and Park Gyu Ri's Shim Shim Ta Pa."

Director, Choi Woo Yong stated, "DSP has contacted us stating that Park Gyu Ri is in severe shock and could not co host the live show. Therefore today's recording will be hosted by Shin Dong himself."

 

On the 19th, Goo Ha Ra stated that she will not be joining Nicole Jung, Han Seung Yeon, and Kang Ji Youn in terminating their exclusive contract with management company, DSP Media. It seems she had a candid talk with her agency and concluded not to continue with the termination.

A DSP representative stated, "Goo Ha Ra joined the lawsuit without knowing the details. She wants to withdraw from the lawsuit. We are working on trying to speak with the other members as well."

THIS IS WHY PARENTS SHOULD NEVER MEDDLE WITH THEIR GROWN UP KIDS' LIVES. Intentions are always good but it always ends up otherwise.

tsk, parents.

/facepalm

"Speak" meaning threaten/blackmail/coerce, DSP???????????????

I am afraid.

[douknow.livejournal.com]

because threatening/blackmailing/forced coercion is totally going to make DSP's case better. idk why everyone thinks that these entertainment companies = the mafia here.

[crissixx.livejournal.com]

why is breaking from your entertainment company becoming a trend in kpop : (

[atticusmayhem.livejournal.com]

Because it's all about the latest trend in Korea.

omg the 2 best members stay.. dbsk all over again

gyura 4 life

[polaroidsho-ts.livejournal.com]

in regards to dbsk, i think the 3 best members left actually lol. but the difference is that dbsk's fanbase was large enough to support both sides of the lawsuit, so homin could still succeed even without JYJ. you're right about gyuri & hara being the bigshots of kara though, idk how the other 3 will make it w/o those two.

Omygod this is so messy ;~~~;

Kara... Wae ironi

"Goo Ha Ra joined the lawsuit without knowing the details."

lol k. But what really happened?

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

I think the moms are getting too involved. The guys looked really in shock when they arrived at the airport. I think they didn't know it was happening yesterday.

[mei-zi.livejournal.com]

telling us stuff we already know?

[nausicaa17.livejournal.com]

This must be really tough on Gyuri. :/ Haven't they learned from DBSK that a clean break is the only way to end the drama once and for all? ;____;

[captainmarvel.livejournal.com]

so you join in a lawsuit without knowing the details?
lol ok

[modeldom.livejournal.com]

bandwagon mentality I'm afraid.

[modeldom.livejournal.com]

it sucks to be left out...sobbing for her rn.

[missaoki.livejournal.com]

Why is it toooo laaaatteeeeeee

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

I think the moms are getting too involved... They probably think their daughters can make it on their own. They need to sit down and renegociate their contracts.

[vonnadarling.livejournal.com]

Didn't they say that they tried that already?
They brought in accountants and stuff and for the past month and a half have been trying to talk with the agencies.

:S

[ionizable.livejournal.com]

she had a candid talk with her agency

lol @ dsp trying to pretend it was real talk that brought hara back

[latoile.livejournal.com]

gyuri and hara are my favourite members so idc too much anymore

if the other three come back that'd be nice too but oh well

[jeit91.livejournal.com]

ummm

[p3rk3le.livejournal.com]

so basically this wasnt "puting up with it for a long time" but "we're famous now, we can go our own way".. alright, whatever. I hope Gyuri is positively affected by this and not drag her down.. Hara, side eyeing you forever..

[askbask.livejournal.com]

You're able to say that with a straight face when you know the schedules they've been going through? No matter what was the final straw- the hours of sleep or the compensation for that work - the only healthy, sane thing to do is to get out of there.

[gabucha26.livejournal.com]

I think the girls should renegotiate their contracts. I'm all for them speaking up and defending their rights, but I think it'll be wiser if they just come up with a fairer contract within DSP.

[riku03.livejournal.com]

Oh well.
This won't end well.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

ugh gyuri bb ;_;

and hara man, you should have picked a side before, now i feel like it's too late to backtrack. i'm all for you getting your rights and getting paid properly (i'm sideeying you so hard right now DSP) but come on, don't play with my heart like that.

i'm really worried about this being the end of kara TT_______TT

[modeldom.livejournal.com]

ikr. she probably feels stressed out, tired, a bit depressed, etc. to do the show. They're making it sound like she's traumatized.

[headswillroll88.livejournal.com]

It seems she had a candid talk with her agency and concluded not to continue with the termination.

Blackmail maybe?

[freezing-flames.livejournal.com]

lol probably

[kiku-cha8-8.livejournal.com]

everything is so messy :(

[flumpool-shinee.livejournal.com]
