DSP Media has denied earlier reports that suggested that KARA's Goo Hara's contract with DSP Media will be ending this August.

Earlier today, various news outlets released reports that the idol's contract would be ending this August. However, the agency has been quick to refute these announcements.

The issue seems to have originated from a misinterpretation.�A representative of DSP Media stated, "We are currently in talks with Universal Japan for an extension as [KARA's] contract will be ending in August 31st ...We believe that this news has been misinterpreted as Goo Hara's lone issue."

The representative continued, "Goo Hara, along with Ji Young, Gyuri, Nicole, and Seungyeon all have different termination dates for their contracts, but all of their contracts continue onto 2014...We were taken aback by these reports. Please don't bother KARA as they have finally settled back in after struggling with measles this past year," and requested for the reports to stop.
