SHINee Jonghyun's and Lee Yoobi's agencies deny that the two are in a relationship.

On January 29, fans woke up welcoming the rumors of Jonghyun and Lee Yoobi's dating spreaded by various media outlets. Prior to this, repsective agencies of both sides speak up and denied it.

Sidus HQ, Lee Yoobi's side explained, "They are just close friends and very friendly to each other but not definitely dating. ".They added,"Actually, the rumor has been up for some time already and we did observe them but they are not couple."

On the other hand, Jonghyun's side, SM Entertainment said, "Not true indeed. They are just common friends of '90 (90-liners) who gathered for meetings"

Moreover, Davichi's Kang Min Kyung, who's name involved as the 'matchmaker' also denies her involvement in such baseless rumor. Her agency CCM told a news outlet, "News stating that Kang Min Kyung is the matchmaker between Jonghyun and Lee Yoobi's dating rumor is definitely false. She is good friends with Lee Yoobi but it shocked her taking the role of their matchmaker."

DSP denies recruiting members for KARA's comeback




News articles came up on various Korean media outlets on January 29 that KARA's agency is in recruitment stage for two members for KARA's comeback, after Nicole and Jiyoung's withdrawal.

Prior to this, DSP quickly addressed that they are not recruiting two new members at the moment and still in deliberation process regarding KARA's future. They stated, "Nothing is confirmed yet. We have lots of considerations for KARA and we're not going to take risk so we are putting a lot of thoughts about it."

They continued, "It's still debatable whether to recruit members or to continue as 3. Meanwhile, Gyuri, Seungyeon and Hara are going to focus on their individual activities for the first half of the year." "KARA has plan to comeback on the second half of the year though but there's no specific decision that is made yet. We are not recruiting new members."

Whatever decision they made in the future, we hope that it's for KARA's good. Fighting!

UPDATE:



However, one succeeding news article (after DSP's denial) reported that KARA will be reformed as 5 members with additional two recruited members from the agency's trainees. If that's the case, KARA is going to comeback as 5 members later this year.
