A Core Contents Media rep told OSEN on the 22nd, "Although it's true that we do know Nicole's mother, there was never any talk of her transferring agencies or being recruited... It is not true. There has been no such occurrence."

The rumor started when Japanese women's magazine put Kamilias on alert with its report titled, 'Nicole's leave from KARA is her mother's plan, in negotiations with T-ara's agency', and claimed, "Nicole's mother personally negotiated with T-ara's agency, stating, 'Please recruit my daughter.'"

As her contract has reached expiration with DSP, Nicole is currently a free agent, leaving fans wondering what the next move for her career will be.
