[Info] 2011.01.27 Pt 2

- Today The Korean Singers Association conducted a meeting to discuss issues of KARA. Tae Jinah, the chairman, expressed his thoughts, “Kara is currently leading the Hallyu wave so if this issue leads to disbandment, both the management company and all members are subject to damages and also harm the entire musical and cultural industry. Right now, resuming KARA’s activities is the most important.” He also added, “Our Association will consider the contents of KARA’s contract, and take it as core information to issues regarding the accusation of the singers’ disadvantages.”

- In the afternoon of January 27, a chief of DSP Media and the 3 members’ side met together and discussed. The conference lasted for 6 hours from 3 pm to 9 pm and the final result was revealed, “All 5 members will continue their scheduled activities.”

- The 3 members’ side announced, “We have reached 2 conclusions. The first one is that the two sides will work together to complete the planned schedules. The second conclusion is that both sides have agreed that KARA, with all 5 members, will continue to operate.” Lawyer Hong further added, “We discussed a lot today, we expressed all the problems of the two sides and listened to the opponent's stance. The atmosphere of today's discussion was also quite good. However, we decided to keep the contents of today's conference confidential until the next conference when the two parties officially meet again. Today we only discussed the main ideas of the issue, we expect to meet later to discuss further."

- DSP said, "We still need to meet to discuss more about when to resume KARA’s activities. Currently, we do not have scheduled domestic activities but we have activities that have been scheduled in Japan, we will consult about re-starting activities in Japan first.” DSP also revealed, “We have planned to re-operate in Japan, but the two sides still have some disagreed points of view. Also the issue regarding the 3 members to return to the company is still undecided. But the biggest highlight is that KARA will continue to work with five members; that is still our top priority.”
