KARA's legal dispute with DSP Media has now developed into a battle between professional law firms. DSP Media was hit with a lawsuit three days ago from KARA's Seungyeon, Nicole, and Jiyoung, and unable to avoid a legal battle, went ahead by bringing in Sejong Law Firm's Im Sang Hyuk. Sejong is one of the representative law firms in the nation, as it houses over 300 lawyers by itself. KARA's trio, who had been working with Landmark ever since the start of this dispute, was recently revealed to have been in a secret meeting with Hankyul Law Firm on February 16th. Representatives of the trio asked Hankyul to take on their case, and Hankyul accepted. Hankyul is known for their work in the entertainment industry, as they made headlines in 2005 for taking on the 'celebrity x-files' case. Hankyul is also responsible for 60% of the film distribution companies in the nation. The legal representative KARA's trio chose from Hankyul, Kim Jin Wook, has previous experience working with Super Junior's Han Geng in his lawsuit against SM Entertainment. KARA's trio were revealed to have been adamant with their decision on Kim, especially since he won the lawsuit. Considering the fact that DSP Media is backed by Im Sang Hyuk, who's currently the legal representative for JYJ against SM Entertainment, industry representatives have interpreted the trio's move in switching out their lawyers to mean that they are now ready to put up an aggressive fight.
