[News] Core Contents Media Denies Rumor that Nicole Will Join T-ara + Update

Core Contents Media, T-ara’s agency, strongly denied the rumors on Nicole joining T-ara.

A rep from Core Contents Media stated on January 22, “The spreading rumor on recruiting Nicole is not true. We did not have any contact with Nicole’s mother and it doesn’t make any sense for her to join T-ara.”
The rumor spread when a Japanese women’s magazine reported that Nicole’s mother contacted T-ara’s agency, to ask her daughter to be recruited into the team.

About the report, Core Contents Media rep commented, “We have no idea how that article in Japan came about. We do not want to have T-ara get involved in things like this, when we are trying to focus on the team’s image making. We never got in touch with Nicole’s mother.”

Nicole rumored to join Wellmade StarM to form a duo with Hwayoung + Wellmade & Nicole both respond

Immediately following the rumors of Nicole joining Core Contents Media, which has been recently confirmed to be false, it has also been reported that Nicole is in talks to join Wellmade StarM!

According to an exclusive by 'Ilgan Sports', they say that a music insider told them on the 22nd, "As the entertainment industry focuses on Nicole, Wellmade StarM reps approached her the most actively. It's said the reps of Wellmade StarM also attended KARA's last concert in Japan last year to talk with her."

If you remember, former T-ara member Hwayoung also recently joined Wellmade, so regarding this, the insider mentioned, "Although Hwayoung plans to make her debut as an actress under Wellmadee StarM first, she is also preparing for [her career as] a singer. The agency reps approached Nicole with the thought of forming a possible female duo consisting of Nicole and Hwayoung."

Right after this most recent report, Wellmade StarM stepped up to respond, "It's true we did negotiate regarding a contract about a month back, but we haven't talked since then... As of right now, it is not true that she is being recruited." When asked about the possible Hwayoung-Nicole duo, the rep remarked, "It seems like a joke we made about forming a duo with Hwayoung was misinterpreted."

With the rise of rumors back to back, Nicole's side also put speculations to rest as they remarked, "There is nothing that has been decided regarding the agency issue. We will take time to seriously think over it... For now, she'll be focusing on training. She is planning to pursue solo activities later on."
