It was recently announced on January 25th that the three estranged members of KARA (Han Seungyeon, Jung Nicole, and Kang Ji Young) have been working together with DSP Media to find a mutual agreement and solve the current controversy. "A conference is underway to find a peaceful solution. As we are currently discussing the details, we cannot yet reveal the current situation and hope for your understanding." The following is the official statement by DSP Media:

We, DSP Media, are currently putting in our best efforts in discussing with the three members (Han Seungyeon, Jung Nicole, and Kang Ji Young), who requested a contract termination with the agency on January 19th, to find a mutual solution. On January 25th at 10 AM, we received a request from the three members' legal representative, thus we are now currently in a conference to find a peaceful solution. As we are currently discussing the details, we cannot yet reveal the current situation and hope for your understanding. For the sake of their important fans, KARA members have not changed their belief that the group must continue as five, and in order to stop this situation from escalating any further, both sides are hoping that a mutual agreement can be made. Furthermore, as much as we are trying to find a peaceful solution, we sincerely request to suppress from releasing random articles.
