According to a Japanese media report on November 28, Nicole has plans not only to go study in America but also to maintain a bakery in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan in the case she is unable to remain in KARA.

Although the possibility of her going to America to study and pursue activities as a solo artist was reported earlier, the Japanese magazine also claimed she was planning to maintain a bakery in Tokyo.

It said, "Nicole is naturally talented at baking bread and cookies so she had thought about selling her personally baked goods for a while.  She is already looking for a shop in Shibuya."  It was also assumed that since Nicole's mother was operating a Korean restaurant in Nakameguro, Tokyo, she would be offering a lot of advice to Nicole on her new enterprise.
