She may have left K-Pop idol girl group KARA but it doesn’t mean that she has given up on the scene altogether!
Ex-KARA member Nicole, real name Nicole Jung, has long been rumoured to have plans with an agency to pursue a solo career. Insiders have long pointed out that the idol and the said agency had already made an agreement, but the agency had previously put off the confirmation stating that they were only in talks.
Ah but it was just confirmed today that the rumours were indeed true! The speculations were confirmed by none other than B2M Entertainment, the very same agency that is current housing Lee Hyori.
They confirmed:
Preparations for Nicole’s solo album, which she has been quietly preparing for on her own, is set to officially kick off under the complete support of her new agency. Nicole has put her trust in CEO Gil Jong Hwa in terms of her contract conditions and negotiations, and we needed to prepare a deal that suits Nicole, who is receiving high popularity in South Korea, Japan, and all of Asia. We recently finished our preparations to support Nicole, and naturally signed a contract.
It has been reported that the idol chose B2M Entertainment because she prioritized an agency that understands her well enough to support her endeavors. She also had a connection with CEO Gil Jong Hwa from when they were both with DSP Media, and thus, this naturally led to her signing with her new agency.
The agency rep concluded, “From now on, Nicole will be preparing her solo album, which she has been preparing by herself quietly until now, under the full support of her new agency. Please show a lot of interest and support for Nicole, soon to stand on her own”.
Welcome back, Nicole! We’ve missed you
