Member of the group Shinwa, Lee Min-woo has cut ties with his former agency.
On the 30th, according to OSEN reporting, Lee Min-woo has terminated his exclusive contract with the agency Linbranding.
Lee Min-woo, a member of the 'longest-serving idol' Shinwa and a solo musician, signed an exclusive contract with Linbranding in 2023. At that time, Linbranding noted, 'Staying true to being the original Hallyu idol, he plans to continue music activities around the world, and he is preparing to meet many fans as a solo musician M with a unique identity. In particular, he plans to contribute to the birth of a new 'K-pop new icon,' consolidating his own know-how accumulated over about 25 years as a producer for a new idol group that Linbranding will create.'
However, according to OSEN reporting, Lee Min-woo and Linbranding decided to go their separate ways at the end of last year when they terminated their exclusive contract. Lee Min-woo is currently continuing his activities while appearing on KBS2's 'Mr. House Husband 2.'
Meanwhile, Lee Min-woo posted a handwritten letter on his social media account on the 25th, directly informing fans of his marriage.
Lee Min-woo stated, 'Recently, after experiencing various situations, I reflected on the meaning of family and, after confirming the precious ties and each other's hearts, we decided to become one family,' adding, 'Since debuting with Shinwa, I have received support and love from fans throughout my passionate teens, twenties, and thirties. Although I thought a lot about how the Shinwa Creation would be surprised by this sudden news, I wanted to convey my sincere feelings in hopes of receiving congratulations from them, who I cherish the most.'
With this, Lee Min-woo becomes the fourth member of Shinwa to join the ranks of married men, following Eric, Jeon Jin, and Andy. In particular, Lee Min-woo is expected to share his marriage story on KBS2's 'Mr. House Husband 2' in early August.
