Singer and actor Lee Junho and JYP Entertainment have decided to support each other's future after about 17 years. They are actively working up until the end and informing a beautiful farewell in a warm manner.
On the morning of 20th, JYP Entertainment stated, "We would like to inform you that the exclusive contract with Mr. Lee Junho will end on April 15. After extensive discussions over a long period, both the company and the artist have decided not to renew the contract."
On the same day, it was also confirmed through OSEN's coverage that Lee Junho has already decided not to renew his contract with JYP, but he has not actively conducted meetings with other agencies or sought a new agency, attracting additional attention. Typically, it is possible to make prior contact with other companies starting three months before the official contract expiration date.
Rather, Lee Junho's caution is a noticeable aspect. Until the contract ends, he concentrated solely on his active work with JYP. Even this year, he held a fan concert tour for the first time in two years, and notably, the Taipei performance sold out completely, finishing the show successfully.
In addition, Lee Junho became the first Korean actor to grant an appearance on the Brazilian talk show 'The Noite.' 'The Noite' is a talk show hosted by popular comedian Danilo Gentili, which has enjoyed high popularity locally since its first broadcast in 2014. Previously, numerous global stars such as Keanu Reeves, M. Night Shyamalan, Josh Hartnett, Tom Holland, and Hugh Jackman have appeared.
Moreover, Lee Junho shared his performance impressions, his active role as a singer and actor, and talked about upcoming projects on the show, captivating the audience.
Lee Junho focused on his work and was active until the end of his agency contract. Perhaps that is why the end of his 17-year relationship with the agency shone even more beautifully. He kept JYP, which has been with him since his debut until he became a top actor, in mind until the very end.
The same goes for his home agency, JYP. Recently, as inquiries about the expiration of Lee Junho's contract and renewal continued, it was reported that the agency announced the 'end of the exclusive contract' as soon as possible to allow him to meet and find a new agency without pressure, making the situation even warmer.
