I think Nicole would go to train regardless of the decision, she mentioned her tweet about wanting to grow her skills so...



From Allkpop:

KARA's Nicole rumored to leave for the U.S. if an agreement can't be reached with DSP Media

A source close to Nicole is reported to have said, "Nicole is planning to go to the U.S. in February after her contract expires in mid January. Nicole is a U.S. citizen and was born in LA, and she's planning to further expand her dancing and singing skills at LA, the center of entertainment and world's top stars. It is Nicole's dream to be active as a solo artist. As she is now 22 years of age, it seems she has made this decision to achieve her dreams."

In addition, 'Sankei Sports' suggests that the reason for the conflict between DSP Media and Nicole stems from the issue of pursuing activities as a solo artist. They said, "Nicole has wanted both group and solo activities from the start of KARA. However, DSP Media does not recognize solo activities as an artist. Because of this, there was a difference of opinion. It seems this was one of the reasons for when she asked for her contract to be terminated back in 2011."

Regarding this report about Nicole's intention to leave for the U.S. in February, a DSP Media rep commented, "We are currently looking into the situation. The KARA members are currently on their tour in Japan. We haven't heard any details, so we will reveal our official statement after we confirm with Nicole."

From Koreaboo:

Nicole to return to the U.S. after her contract with DSP expires?

More news about Nicole’s departure from KARA and DSP Media resurfaces.

On November 20th, Korean news outlets reported that Nicole is considering leaving for Los Angeles, once her contract with the agency officially expires. According to Sankei Sports, a news agency in Japan, Nicole is considering flying to the United States to retrain and study, the moment her contract with DSP Media expires on January 2014.

It was further stated that Nicole’s possible withdrawal from the agency is caused by their different opinions on her growth as a solo artist, after previously mentioning that she wishes to be a solo artist, whilst being active in the group.

No other confirmation about this report has been released. DSP Media has not yet commented on this matter.

 I wouldn't be so set on this because Nicole hasn't said anything herself.

So, what do you guys think?
