As lawsuit complications between the three members of KARA and DSP Media become more and more troubled with turbulence and uncertainties, veteran singer and president of the Korean Singers Association, Tae Jin Ah, recently came forth to intervene in an attempt to settle the situation.

A representative of Tae Jin Ah told Newsen on February 15th, “The presidents of the Korean Entertainment Producers Association and the Korean Singers Association, Ahn Jung Dae and Tae Jin Ah, have been in discussions for several hours in an attempt to resolve problems between KARA and their agency. Nothing is known in detail, however after receiving information from both sides, we are aware that the members of KARA are also in discussions with DSP Media.

They continued, “The Korean Singers Association has been managing the Victim Complaints Center to resolve unfair misconduct of singers. The center received information about the current situation of the three KARA members, and when Tae Jin Ah was informed, he decided to personally arbitrate the matter.

The biggest problem between the agency and the three members seems to lie in the allegedly unfair sharing of revenue. We think the depth of the conflict is deeper than we first thought.

If KARA disbands, not only is it a big loss to the country, but the media will also begin to take notice of every move of the rough patches between a singer and their agency, thus bringing forth unnecessary noise into the industry. We hoped for the situation to resolve as quietly as possible, so we were really upset when KARA’s side filed a lawsuit.

The representative concluded, “Even though Tae Jin Ah is slowly urging for both sides to reconcile, we feel that it will not be easy to find an immediate agreement.

According to the representative, Tae Jin Ah is encouraging the three members of KARA to take action, while also asking for the agency to have a more open mind about the singers’ perspectives.

If you follow the whole story, you'd get the feeling the girl is a bit unstable.

Seems to me like they're gonna try to bully those KARA members into dropping the lawsuit since KEPA has expressed concern over other artists suing their companies since JYJ vs. SM lawsuit

Too late there, dude. The industry was long overdue for some noise anyways.

AH! here you were honesty.

but i have a question: why are people from everywhere soooo concerned about kara but shut their mouth about dbsk? because it's sme? idgi actually...

still, i'm hoping they'll stay together for hara cause i care.. gyuri/hara wouldn't survive as homin D:

Actually, I doubt any of the girls could survive on their own or with their own little group in the industry without the group name KARA. HoMin and JYJ have managed to survived because of their stature in the industry and their massive fanbase. KARA hasn't achieved neither, so I'm worried for them.

That sounds as it the singers are the ones misbehaving.

Tae Jin Ah is encouraging the three members of KARA to take action, while also asking for the agency to have a more open mind about the singers’ perspectives.

One side should act, while the other just have to have "an open mind". OK. That, right there, is the attitude that ends in filing a lawsuit.

I think everyone was too shocked when DBSK happened and it just spiraled so crazy so quickly. Or maybe he thought SME were big enough to handle it on their own.

Oh, so there's a Korean Singers Association....

“The Korean Singers Association has been managing the Victim Complaints Center to resolve unfair misconduct of singers." - this sounds like someone's POV that the singers are the one at fault. I hope they're taking action in protecting the rights of singers as well.

He doesn't want it to change because Korean companies can't make the profits they do unless they treat their artists the way they do.

KSA - Just know about it today.
KEPA - Oh.. the one behind KFC something which ban JYJ from entertainment scene & also did some sort of petition siding SM on lawsuit with JYJ right?

There's double standard even on KEPA issue alone.
