Article: Han Seungyeon transforms into a rain coat girl 'I feel great... Totally exciting'

Source: TV Report via Nate

1. [+561, -32] Don't act

2. [+449, -34] I would've still liked you if you hadn't come out on Jang Ok Jung

3. [+426, -49] She's not really good at anything, I wonder what she would've been if not for KARA. You messed up Jang Ok Jung.

4. [+36, -13] Never think of acting again... Never seen such crappy acting before.

5. [+24, -15] Yeah, just stick to being a singer. Can't act, your voice is weird... With what confidence are you even dubbing now for?

6. [+22, -9] Unni... Don't act anymore... Especially historical dramas...

7. [+21, -10] Her image didn't go downhill just because of Jang Ok Jung. She knew that idols taking voice acting jobs were controversial but she took one up at the first opportunity so of course her image takes a dip.

8. [+19, -10] I was so enraged watching Jang Ok Jung ㅡㅡ Such a horrible actress.. Just thinking about it now is making me filled with anger ㅡㅡ Man, I'm still angry about that

9. [+16, -8] I seriously think she appeared on Jang Ok Jung because she thought she lacked antis and wanted to attract some more ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Instiz: Contracts of the top three girl groups will expire next year

Wonder Girls - all members' contracts will expire in February 2014

KARA - all members' contracts except for Jiyoung's will expire in January 2014. Jiyoung's will expire in April 2014, lending rumors to the girls becoming free agents.

SNSD - ever since the TVXQ incident, all of the girls are under the same contract, which is due to expire next year as well.

All three girl groups debuted in 2007 and will have their contracts expire together in 2014~~

-

"I just want JYP to do SOMETHING with the Wonder Girls..."

"I'm pretty sure SNSD will renew their contracts."

"Not sure about KARA, but I'm sure SNSD will renew their contracts. I'd prefer Sunye go on hiatus and have Sunmi return to the group."

"Hul, had no idea that contracts would be up already."

"I really wonder what's going to happen next year..."

"I doubt Yoobin and Lim would want to stick around any longer."

"Imagine the impact on the industry if SNSD doesn't renew with SM and joins another company ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Wow"

"They're only at an average age of 22, which is still quite young, so I think they could still renew their contracts."

"I'm most curious about what will happen to the Wonder Girls. 100% sure Soshi will renew."

Article: [Exclusive] KARA's contract is up to expire, secret meeting held in Seoul. Will they declare themselves as Free Agents?

Source: Sports Chosun via Naver

1. [+991, -58] An odd group where they seem to have presence but really don't

2. [+880, -98] Individually, they're not much, but god and KARA are two groups who are amazing when together

3. [+733, -16] DSP will totally become a third rate company if KARA leaves them

4. [+686, -35] The girls need to stay together... None of them sing well so they can't debut as solos and they'll reach a limit with what they can do alone.. and acting is out of the question. Their acting in their Japanese stuff was embarrassing. They're only receiving the treatment they are now because they're together~ Whether or not they move companies, they have to stick together.

5. [+592, -45] I don't know how popular they are in Japan or whatever but if they do end up switching companies, I hope they choose one with enough power to help them with their domestic promotions. They haven't been promoting in Korea as much since their Mister promotions and KARA's become almost nobody level with the rise of new girl groups...

6. [+517, -13] KARA will really die out if they split up because they're not set up like 4minute or miss A where one member can stand alone separately.

7. [+470, -21] I'm 100% sure they'll be screwed if they split up. They have no talent individually.. no one to release a solo with, no one talented enough to go into acting... Utter failure once they split!

8. [+460, -145] Seungyeon was the one who made KARA what they are today... if not for her, they would've been forgotten as nobodies...

9. [+310, -14] If KARA leaves, it's because DSP is no longer run by Lee Ho Yeon but by his wife. When Lee Ho Yeon was running things, DSP was the top three companies with FinKL and Sechs Kies but ever since his wife took over, KARA has been worked to death.

10. [+261, -9] As someone who's been a fan of KARA since their beginning... they really need to stick together no matter what. None of them have a strong enough foundation to stand alone yet. They've worked hard in Japan but it's not enough. They need to stay together as a team.

1. [+241, -18] It doesn't matter whether they renew their contract with DSP or not but the minute the five of them split up, that's the end of their Japanese popularity.

2. [+221, -56] In Korea, idols have a five year lifespan. I'm pretty sure KARA will renew their contracts since they still bring in a hefty income from overseas promotions... But you might as well see them as done for in Korea. KARA is probably not even on SISTAR's level anymore.

3. [+139, -14] As long as they don't go out and set up their own company or one of their parents sets up their own company ㅋㅋㅋ Those will all fail

Article: [Photoen] Han Seungyeon 'the stair is high the skirt is short'

Source: Newsen via Nate

1. [+464, -51] Does she not have a conscience? She's seriously going to act again?

2. [+296, -37] Fu*k, she has no conscience. Give some damn opportunities to the voice actors. How could you give roles to these kids who can't act for sh*t and are just trying to take a stab at it? I can already tell this fu*king movie will fail.

3. [+210, -43] Then don't wear short skirts

4. [+31, -16] I fu*king hate her ㅡㅡ You know that you screwed up Jang Ok Jung, right? ㅡㅡ

5. [+25, -20] Can you stick to your own career ㅡㅡ You're not some almighty entertainer.. Did you not monitor Jang Ok Jung at all? If you had seen yourself on screen at least once, you would've voluntarily left the drama... and now you're trying to voice act?

6. [+22, -17] Do singers in our country never sing?

7. [+20, -16] Where has she sold her conscience to?

8. [+19, -14] I can't stand her ever since Jang Ok Jung. She just sucks at acting, period.

9. [+19, -18] Han Seung Yeon's pretty.

10. [+18, -23] I think Seungyeon's cute and bright voice will match the animation~ I'll make sure to watch it ㅎㅎㅎ

1. [+218, -20] You mean brothers force

2. [+187, -36] I feel like Park Gyuri would've made a really handsome man. But Thunder looks prettier in this picture ㅎㅎ

4. [+47, -28] They really are brothers force ㅎ

5. [+12, -5] Park Gyuri... is handsome..!!!!!

7. [+8, -12] Was this selca taken by two guys ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+7, -2] Guys, she crossdressed as a guy in her drama, get with it.

Article: KARA, to go on Japanese Arena tour in October "The biggest scale in history"

Source: Joy News via Naver

1. [+79, -23] Since when is 140,000 the most in history when other groups are bringing in 400,000 member audiences? Get out with the media play.

2. [+91, -40] I was a KARA fan but stopped after I saw the members stabbing each other in the backs... I don't know if they can recover their image in Korea but it seems they're still doing well in Japan (TN: I have no idea what this is talking about)

3. [+77, -28] My Japanese friend told me that KARA's barely even mentioned on Japanese TV anymore... I guess that's how they're all forgotten. There's only so much a foreign group can do.

4. [+61, -23] This tour might be KARA's last Japanese concert. Their albums in the past year haven't been selling at all and their popularity in Japan has been waivering.

5. [+61, -24] I don't get why the article is calling it the biggest scale in history when the concert is actually a downgrade from their first tour...

6. [+71, -36] Not too fond of KARA.. Their songs are nasally, they can't act, and all they do is sit around uploading fake bare faced photos on Twitter.

7. [+42, -12] The tour is a downgrade from their first tour and yet they still media play it as the 'biggest scale in history'... KARA's first Arena tour was 6 cities with 150,000 audience members... This one's barely 140,000.

8. [+46, -18] Poor KARA fans, KARA only cares about Japan... and can someone please stop Seungyeon from acting.. She's reading out of a textbook, for Pete's sake.

Article: Park Gyuri's bare face, unbelievably clear skin 'innocent beauty'

Source: Newsen via Nate

1. [+140, -40] Thought it was a male... Looks like Song Jun Geun

2. [+111, -37] She looks like that gagman... Who was it again... that Senorita guy...

3. [+64, -21] If you pick apart her features, objectively they're pretty but put them together and they're a bit much to look at. It's a face that only plastic surgeons would like... Men wouldn't actually like it.

4. [+28, -23] Looks greasy~~~

5. [+28, -22] Looked like Kangta for a second
