Despite having resumed their activities, the fandom seems to have split. Fans on Agora have already started a petition requesting for the disbandment of KARA. The petition's goal was for 1,000 and had reached 920. However, another petition has started for the request for KARA to stay together forever, with a goal of 10,000. The fans are taking a divided stance because even though KARA had assured fans that they would stay together, a few days later the three members had filed a lawsuit against DSP Media.
In the midst of all this, Japanese Kamilia have also started a petition with a goal of 1,000,000 fans, titling it "KARA, please don't ever disband!" Yukki, the fan who started it, said, "Our goal is to keep KARA together as 5 members. I hope KARA understands Japanese fans' hopes with this petition. We're going to present this to DSP Media as well as Universal Music."
As of the 25th, 1,425 fans have signed the petition. The end of the petition is April 1st, and 0.1% of the goal has been set. Japanese Kamilia have been using their Twitters to spread the word, and Korean Kamilia have been helping them by blogging about it.
