Netizens and news outlets alike have been wondering about the future of KARA these days, but in fact, another group's member from DSP Media is leaving his team.

DSP Media's boy group A-JAX's Sungmin has been confirmed to be leaving the group.

The agency told SportsToday on January 7, "It's true that A-JAX's main vocal Sungmin is leaving. In order to walk the path of a rapper, after a deep discussion with the agency and his members, he has decided to leave the group."

DSP Media also told OSEN, "He still has time left on his contract so he will not be moving agencies. DSP Media is thinking of continuing to help him. The remaining A-JAX members will focus on their activities in China. For now, there are no plans to release an album in Korea."
