Nicole, a former member of KARA, updated fans on her upcoming activities.  As she engaged in training in the United States, people speculated that she would be making her comeback as an artist there rather than in Korea.  In addition, one media outlet stated that Kino33 Entertainment CEO Lee Kyu Chang, who helped Psy with his American activities, was aiding Nicole the same way.

She addressed this on Twitter on May 19, "I'm focusing on preparations for my solo debut in Korea not America.  I will work hard to see everybody after diligent preparations."

One rep said, "The stories that Nicole is planning on being active in America is untrue and misinformed.  She will begin with solo activities in Korea, but it seems possible for her to go to America and other countries for promotions after she feels she's ready."

In addition, it appears likely that she will be signing on with a new agency in June at the earliest.  Meanwhile, she has returned to Korea after completing her vocal and dance training in America with William Riley, who also trained Celine Dion, and Luam Keflezgy respectively.  

Are you excited for her solo debut in Korea?
