Recent photos of KARA's Nicole in a wheelchair has surfaced on an online community board. The photo shows the member with a mask on while being pushed through the airport in a wheelchair by fellow member Kang Jiyoung.

Back in February, KARA held their first solo concert 'KARASIA' at Seoul Olympic Park. Unfortunately, it turned out that Nicole suffered from a severe sprained ankle towards the end of her solo performance.

Despite her injury, Nicole continued to perform throughout the rest of the concert, and also recently attended the 14th annual '2012 SPRING/SUMMER Tokyo Girls' Collection' on March 3rd at the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan.

Fans wished her a speedy recovery and commented, "How was she able to continue her activities in that condition?", "Hope she gets better soon", "How heartbreaking. It seems like her injury was much worse than thought", and "How nice of maknae Jiyoung."

Meanwhile, KARA will officially begin promoting their 6th Japanese single 'Speed Up' and 'Girl's Power' starting this month.
