As their scandal continues to snowball and gather headlines, Japan’s love for KARA is starting to cool.
Initally, KARA was still able to take #1 on the Oricon charts despite the outbreak of their scandal. However, after it was revealed that Nicole, Seungyeon, and Jiyoung had filed a lawsuit on February 14th, the attitude in Japan quickly became indifferent.
The Japanese media has predicted that KARA will definitely lose popularity in Japan. This is because fans allowed themselves to get their hopes up when KARA members continued filming their drama with a good atmosphere, only to have their hopes taken away in another wave of conflicts. Japanese fans obviously felt betrayed, and they seem to have gotten tired of the protracted conflict. Japanese news programs are releasing citizen interviews with content along the lines of “I’m sick of it now.”
There is also widespread interest about KARA’s relationship with their Japanese agency, Universal Music Japan. In Korea, the KARA members could put a hold on their activities because it’s more or less a domestic dispute; however, it’s a different story altogether when it comes to their corporate agreements with a Japanese label. If KARA should fail to fulfill their Japanese agreements, they will most certainly damage their marketability and overall reputation.

Date: 2011-02-16 03:06 pm (UTC)while it is the artists who file the lawsuits they surely don't do this out of pure fun and have their reasons. if korean fans acted the same way as the japanese, i.e. don't give a shit about them after some scandals and the companies' efforts to force them all to stay - they would recognize that people don't need the wank to be interested in a group and that the artists definitely need better conditions to stay within the company instead of brute force.
but maybe i'm too naive...

This is a lesson for them all, on how to handle business and how not to. If they have any business to handle after this <.<

Good luck to them, it was fun.

Date: 2011-02-16 05:18 pm (UTC)I think everyone is just tired with the lawsuits. In general. I know I am. And Kara is taking the bitter cup of it. They are girls + the all thing is messy (I still didn't get everything and don't even try rn).
I wish that it would settle nicely. I don't want to miss JiYoung. But though chances :/.

Date: 2011-02-16 09:36 pm (UTC)Both sides also lose fans of one girl. Fans who only like Hara or Gyuri won't stick along with Seungyeon/Nicole/Jiyoung and their fans who liked one exclusive member will do the same.
They also lose fans who will only support the group as a whole.
