KARA’s agency DSP Media announced Tuesday that the team will lose one member Nicole as her contract ends on Thursday.

Another group member Kang Ji-young, whose contract ends in April, is said too be deliberating whether she will return to her studies or stay on with the group.

The agency is looking into different options for KARA, but said it was skeptical about recruiting a new member, since the group was established with a distinct character of its own.
