[Info/News] Hara Mentions Nicole & Jiyoung

"If I were to say that I was not hurt [by their departure], that would be a lie. I want to support them as they walk their new road because they didn’t leave because they didn’t like the work.”

“Those two are really amazing. I am walking a stable path by remaining a member of KARA, but Ji Young and Nicole have to start anew. At first I was sad, but now I am proud of them. They quickly chose their own path. I think it’s right that I just support them and cheer them on from behind. That’s why I am staying and continuing with KARA now.”

 Goo Hara talks about Jiyoung and Nicole's withdrawal

Q: Do you still keep in touch with Nicole and Kang Jiyoung?

We still do contact each other. After the concert in Japan was done I wanted to meet Jiyoung but because Jiyoung was busy we couldn’t meet. She said she would contact me if she came to Korea. We still do contact each other consistently. Because Nicole started her activities not so long ago we do message each other. But there’s really nothing to worry about. We’re not in a relationship where we broke up badly. I hate listening to the many stories that make it seem that way. We’re doing really well. At first I was sad at the fact that I couldn’t freely do KARA activities but now to think about it Nicole and Jiyoung are really amazing. Makes me want to support them more.
