Seungyeon and Hara Withdraw from KARA, Gyuri Looking for New Agency

Sigh, I guess I shouldn't be surprised with this news. After all, so many of my OTHER favorite k-pop acts have lost members and been downgraded; Girls Generation, f(x), Nine Muses, Dal Shabet and the like, furthermore, KARA was always a group that seemed one step away from dissolution , with the tangle of lawsuits they went through and then Nicole and Jiyoung leaving.
Still, this one really hits home beacuse as you know, KARA was my gateway drug into K-pop and it was always comforting knowing they were still around. But nothing lasts forever, and I suppose it's just time. Poor Younji, though...she JUST got into the group and was making a mark for herself, I sure don't know what direction DSP is going to go with her, if she's still going to be part of them.
