On October 7th, KARA showed off their airport fashion at Gimpo International Airport on their way to Yokohama, Japan to start their 'KARA Second Japan Tour KARAsia.'  The tour starts on October 8 and will end in November after taking place in seven different towns and cities.

The media was present to take the first photographs of Nicole and Jiyoung since DSP Media revealed to the public that the former has decided not to renew her contract while the latter is still debating about the issue as her contract expires at a later time than the others.  Despite the controversy, both Nicole and Jiyoung had smiles and even waved.

Also on October 7th, DSP responded to Nicole's publicized Tweet, which clarified her reasons for leaving the agency.  A representative from the company told a news source, "We heard about the relevant writing, but Nicole personally posted it.  She never consulted us about it.  Hence, nothing is known for sure yet, such as whether Nicole will be doing activities as a part of KARA."
