With the question of Nicole's status in KARA still very much in the air, Nicole posted a cryptic quote onto her Instagram.

The quote she shared on Instagram read, "In life, you will realize there is a role for everyone you meet. Some will test you, some will use you, some will love you, and some will teach you. But the ones who are truly important are the ones who bring out the best in you. They are rare and amazing people who remind you why it's worth it. - Unknown".

The part in the quote about 'some will use you' has directed some people to think she was talking about the label, and then the parts about the 'people who remind you why it's worth it' may be talking about her fans, especially because her next photo showed letters from her fans.

Do you think the message means speaks a lot about her current situation?
