Previously, it was reported that netizens had created a map of nations representing female idols growth between 2008 and 2011. An updated version of the 2011 map of nation has been released on Korean online communities showing KARA's popularity growth, or lack thereof, due to the recent controversy.
An announcement on January 19th said KARA's Seungyeon, Nicole, Hara, and Jiyoung had filed a lawsuit to terminate their contract with DSP Entertainment. Since then, Hara has withdrawn her lawsuit with suspicions that Seungyeon may follow suit.
Korean news portal sites have found this updated map that takes the lawsuit into account and says the "KARA empire has been destroyed in a day." In the older 2011 girl group era map, SNSD and 2NE1 were conquering with the most land secured followed by KARA. However, as of January 19 after the lawsuit was announced, KARA's empire disappeared and was taken over by "IU Nation". Netizens seem to have predicted that if KARA does not make up as a group or with their agency, the break up could result in what the map illustrates.
According to reports, the members of KARA that had filed a lawsuit have been having trust issues and other problems with the DSP management after March 2010. It is unfortunate to both KARA and their fans, and hopefully things will work out well soon.
Please note that netizens may have made a mistake in the January 19th map as they have completely wiped off Secret off the map when they illustrated IU's domination over KARA land.
