KARA QUITTE DSP MEDIA?
Nouveau coup du dur pour DSP Entertainment et toute l'industrie de la Kpop.
Après avoir vu le départ des membres de SS501, c'est au tour du groupe KARA de faire les valises vers une nouvelle agence. Tous les membres du groupe EXCEPTE la leader, Gyuri, ont déclaré le 19 Janvier 2011 par le biais de leurs avocats ne plus poursuivre d'activités pour DSP Media.
La cause de cette rupture de contrat est un manque de confiance et une souffrance endurée depuis trop longtemps - selon les sources. Un air de déja vu...
Tôt dans la matinée, un communiqué des avocats, Landmark, des filles a été rendu public. Voici ci-dessous des extraits traduits en anglais:
"KARA receiving much love from their activities in both Korea and Japan, the members have experienced inexplicable pain that brought them to this decision. They’ve held it in for a long time, but in order to protect their rights and their future, the members have decided to part ways from their company. (...)
Trust is the most important aspect of a relationship between an agency and its artist, but the agency has been using KARA as a way to make money. A variety of issues that have not been stated are still present. The agency has decided the majority of the girls’ celebrity activities without any sort of discussion or meeting, and has rejected requests asking for explanations or for proper documents. Their relationship has been destroyed to the point that it could never be restored again.“ (allkpop)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Les nouvelles diffusées sur la Toile sont à prendre avec précaution. Quelques heures auparavant, Nicole, Hara, Seung Yeon et Ji Young ont été citées comme désireuses de mettre un terme à leur contrat avec DSP Entertainment.
Mais un article sur allkpop vers 11h00 affirme que Goo Hara se serait rétractée et aurait décidé de rester au sein de la maison DSP...
Puis un communiqué de DSP Media a été publié. Des extraits en anglais ci-dessous:
“DSP Media will be making an official statement regarding the contract terminations reported by Jung Nicole, Han Seungyeon, Kang Jiyoung, and Goo Hara of KARA. We received a one-sided declaration from their lawyers, Landmark, on January 18th, but Goo Hara has decided not to join the others in terminating her contract. (...)
They also claimed that DSP used its stature to force unwanted schedules and activities, but this is also a baseless claim. This is a claim that only defames the company employees who have worked their hardest to raise KARA as one of Korea’s top groups and leaders of the Hallyu wave.
And regarding speculations from another report about a competing agency attempting to persuade their parents and lawyers to terminate the girls’ contract with DSP, we ask that they stop such actions immediately. Should such requests be made repeatedly, we will make sure that they are met with legal consequences.
As the company that has poured their sweat and effort into creating who KARA is today, we hope that such issues are no longer exaggerated. Should there be issues between both parties, adjustments and reconciliation should be the appropriate step in continuing to promote themselves as a representative girl group of Korea.”
Actuellement en pleine production de leur drama japonais, URAKARA, l'avenir des cinq bellas est plus qu'incertain...
