[Fan] Reasons Why Nicole Left KARA
I've seen this post since October but it has been continuously updated since then.
This post was originally posted and compiled by a Korean fan.
I found it interesting...

Nicole's Twitter Message:
"To all my fans whom I love... First off, I'm sorry that I'm making things hard and painful. When I think about the confusion you all must have experienced due to the various stories despite it not being my intention, my heart hurts more.
I thought that I needed time now to recharge and reorganize myself, so I will be leaving soon for training with a plan that isn't set for too long of a time. I will try my best so that that time period will not go to waste, and get ready for the day when I will meet you all again. I want to think over agencies calmly, so as I'm not hurrying, there is nothing that has been decided on, but if something is decided on later, I'll deliver the news to you first.
I'll gain strength from the support of all of you who always cheer me on, and do my best to learn and return. Wait for me."

[News] [Exclusive Interview] Nicole Says She Will Focus on Training For Now
With reports regarding Nicole’s new agency pouring out, Nicole claimed that nothing has been decided regarding her new agency.
After Nicole made her decision to leave DSP Media, many articles have been coming out with one report claiming that she will be signing with Core Contents Media, and another stating that she will be joining Wellmade Entertainment.
During an interview with Newsen on January 22, Nicole said, “Nothing has been decided regarding my agency. I am going to take my time before making the decision.”
She also added, “I will be focusing on training for a while, with my priority set on future activities as a soloist.”

* Some articles said someone from Nicole's side said all of the above but this one says it was Nicole.
[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.”

by the way, Ms. Shirley verified herself through twitter that this was FALSE information:

[News] KARA's Jiyoung's father reveals his daughter intends to leave DSP once her contract expires + DSP's Response
Amidst Nicole's contact expiring, eyes have turned towards the status of Jiyoung's contract status and whether she'll remain with KARA.
Regarding this, media outlet 'Sports Chosun' released their exclusive detailing the conversation they had with Jiyoung's father.
The media outlet revealed that they learned about a letter being mailed as a certification of contents (which means that the contents of the letter are recorded for reference so that the receiver cannot later say that they never received the letter) to DSP Media, announcing Jiyoung's intent to not renew her contract.
When 'Sports Chosun' contacted Jiyoung's father (Kang Gun Wook), he told them, "We forwarded the note last week. I notified DSP Media before that I would be sending it over... I thought that even if we part ways, it's right to part on good terms so that's why I've taken these steps."
He continued, "Prior to sending the note, we repeatedly expressed our stance to the agency. The agency reps are not showing any particular response to the note... Honestly, when the press release concerning Nicole was released by DSP Media on the 14th, we thought that the content regarding Jiyoung would also be included. It seems the agency reps are still holding on to hope for Jiyoung."
When asked about the reason for not renewing, he stated, "As she promoted with KARA, Jiyoung experienced a difficult time. As the maknae of a group for 7 years, there were things she wanted to do that she couldn't do... She is still young so there are a lot of things she wants to do. Jiyoung had to devote herself to the duty as KARA's maknae, so she wasn't able to pursue individual challenges and dreams."
"Of course, if she continues to promote with KARA for the next 2-3 years, she will earn a lot of money but money is not important. I thought that my daughter should pursue what she really wants to do and that is why we have decided to leave DSP."
According to 'Sports Chosun', Jiyoung seems leaning towards pursuing acting in the future and plans to head over to the States to receive acting lessons and improve her English.
When the media outlet contacted DSP Media regarding the note sent by Jiyoung's father, a rep reportedly responded, "There is still a lot of time left until April. Our first priority is handling Nicole's issue at the moment... We will meet with Jiyoung's side later this month and actively persuade them."

[News] Nicole reveals her thoughts on leaving KARA
She said, "I can't express it in words. When I look back, KARA was everything to me. I first held the mic as a KARA member in my teens and was well-received as KARA in my 20s. And... during that long time period, I think there were a lot of stories created while being in KARA. There were a lot of happy moments and thankful moments. I started my entertainment career as a member of KARA and got my name out there, so I'm going to hold onto that pride and pursue future promotions."
It dawned on her that she might really leave KARA when she performed on stage with them and thought how it might be the last time--particularly when the girls were performing for the three year-end music specials. Nicole said, "I told myself to calm down afterwards, but tears kept falling. I knew it, but it was hard to accept it."
Nicole then talked about the other members, "Truthfully, many things happened while I was with the members for 7-8 years. Occasionally, it was hard, but I endured and did many things. All of us equally had a hard time physically and emotionally, but I am so grateful that we always lent our strength to each other. What each of us does has changed a bit, but let's continue to encourage one another to succeed."
Lastly, she said to fans, "The whole time, the fans have been diligently running with KARA and diligently giving support. However, I always felt sorry because I was lacking and undeserving of that support. Still, they supported me without change so I thought I had to do better. In the past, even when I was having a hard time physically and mentally, all of that intriguingly disappeared once I met with the fans. It made me think that this was why I liked singing and dancing."
Yesterday was also Hara's birthday while January 18 is Jiyoung's so it appears they will celebrate together as one group for the last time before Nicole goes her separate way and leaves for America to pursue further training as a singer and dancer.

The original article stated that Nicole and the others met actually the day before this news came out.
