With disbandment rumors floating like a ghost around Kara's members, everyone's eyes are fixed on Gyuri, Hara, Seungyeon and Youngji.
So it's no surprise that fans were quick to notice a subtle change in Youngji's Instagram. On Jan. 5, she renamed her account @young_g_hur. Previously, she was using @kara_youngji_hur, and the absence of Kara in her social media name has caused quite a stir among fans online.
Despite debuting less than two years ago, Youngji already did well with solo projects. She gained attention on the South Korean reality show "We Got Married" with Got7's Jackson, and she also starred in a web drama.
Meanwhile, AllKpop claims insiders have told them that Gyuri, Hara and Seungyeon's non-renewal is allegedly a fact within DSP, but the agency is concealing the news until the group's cosmetic endorsement deal ends in February.
In regards to all of these rumors, a DSP affiliate responded: "The three have yet to decide, so the rumors of Kara disbanding are most definitely false. Before their three contracts are officially expired, we can't know anything for certain."
