Kpop: Hara's Recent KeyEast Meeting Further Hints At Kara Disbandment; Somin To Replace Hara?

KeyEast Entertainment, home to former Wonder Girl Sohee and many other famous actors, has confirmed meeting Kara's visual Goo Hara, and claims that parties are close to having a meeting of the minds.

While this may be a good news for KeyEast and Hara, this has saddened Kamilias who are facing a looming Kara breakup.

Prior to KeyEast's confirmation, DSP Media acknowledged that the contracts of Hara, Seungyeon and Gyuri are expiring and the three will make a decision on their career paths this month. Other rumors hint that Seungyeon is also busy meeting with top agencies. Gyuri is also considering offers outside DSP Media.

Since it looks like the three girls are heading to different agencies, fans fear that the popular group which debuted in 2007 may come to an end, reports AllKpop.

There's no news about Kara's only new member Seo Youngji, who joined the group following the departure of Nicole Jung and Kang Jiyoung two years ago. Youngji promoted briefly with Kara for Korean albums "Mama Mia" and "Cupid" and some Japanese projects.

Another clue hinting at the disbandment is the group's absence in the Kpop industry's year-end concerts and award shows, reports Koreaboo.

Meanwhile, fans worry about Youngji's future. It's unclear whether DSP will form a new version of Kara with Youngji and former April member Somin.

Somin, dubbed Hara's lookalike, left April shortly before the end of 2015, reports Soompi.

Another possibility for Youngji is to join April.
