According to an exclusive by 'Ilgan Sports', they say that a music insider told them on the 22nd, "As the entertainment industry focuses on Nicole, Wellmade StarM reps approached her the most actively. It's said the reps of Wellmade StarM also attended KARA's last concert in Japan last year to talk with her."

If you remember, former T-ara member Hwayoung also recently joined Wellmade, so regarding this, the insider mentioned, "Although Hwayoung plans to make her debut as an actress under Wellmade StarM first, she is also preparing for [her career as] a singer. The agency reps approached Nicole with the thought of forming a possible female duo consisting of Nicole and Hwayoung."

Right after this most recent report, Wellmade StarM stepped up to respond, "It's true we did negotiate regarding a contract about a month back, but we haven't talked since then... As of right now, it is not true that she is being recruited." When asked about the possible Hwayoung-Nicole duo, the rep remarked, "It seems like a joke we made about forming a duo with Hwayoung was misinterpreted."

With the rise of rumors back to back, Nicole's side also put speculations to rest as they remarked, "There is nothing that has been decided regarding the agency issue. We will take time to seriously think over it... For now, she'll be focusing on training. She is planning to pursue solo activities later on."
