On the 14th, JG Star stated, "We have signed an exclusive contract with Lim Chang-jung. We will spare no support for him to showcase his talents befitting the label of the original 'multi-talented entertainer,' encompassing a singer, broadcaster, and actor." They further explained, "We previously had differences in opinion regarding Lim Chang-jung's nationwide tour concert 'Multiverse.' After the incident was reported in the media, we had honest discussions with Lim Chang-jung for a long time and decided to clear misunderstandings and work together again."
Previously, JG Star claimed that although Lim Chang-jung received a guarantee of over 1 billion won under the new contract, he did not pay them the guarantee and damages, while Lim Chang-jung refuted this claim, resulting in conflicts.
Debuting as an actor in 1990, Lim Chang-jung successfully launched his music career with the release of his first full-length album in 1995, entering the terrestrial entertainment scene and earning the title of 'multi-talented entertainer.' He continued to shine as a singer, winning the grand award at the KBS Music Awards through his third full album 'Again.' As an actor, he showcased his unique characters in movies such as 'Beat,' 'Sex is Zero,' and 'Miracle on 1st Street,' even winning the best actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards for 'Scout.'
In the 2010s, Lim Chang-jung made a successful comeback as a singer, releasing hit songs like 'I Am a Guy Like This,' 'Love Again,' and 'The Love I Committed' and regaining his prime. Although he faced a crisis in 2023 due to his involvement in a manipulation investment incident, it was revealed in 2024 that he was also a victim when the prosecution declared him not guilty.
It remains to be seen what kind of synergy Lim Chang-jung, who overcame the crisis, will create with JG Star, with whom he has collaborated on promotions and performances for a long time.
