Bae Yong-joon's agency denies signing Kim Hyun-joong

Bae Yong-joon's agency KEYEAST has denied recent rumors that they have signed with singer and actor Kim Hyun-joong.

In a phone call with Asia Economic Daily on Monday, an official at KEYEAST dismissed such reports as "groundless" and said that they "have not signed with Kim Hyun-joong."

Several media reports had claimed that Kim, whose contract with agency DSP Entertainment expired yesterday, signed an exclusive management contract with Bae's agency.

Last month, it was reported that Kim and Bae had a private meeting, which some people thought hinted at their future partnership. At the time, DSP downplayed the rumor, saying it was only a personal meeting between Kim and Bae, a close friend and mentor figure to the young star.

There was even talk that the pop idol was likely to sign with an agency which recently signed on three TVXQ members -- Hero Jaejoong, Xiah Junsu and Micky Yoochun -- who are currently embroiled in a legal battle with major talenthouse SM Entertainment.

Kim, 23, is the leader of boy band SS501, one of the most successful K-pop acts in Asia since their debut in 2005. The singer has also done some acting work, most notably in the smash hit drama "Boys Over Flowers" last year alongside actors Lee Min-ho and Ku Hye-sun.

I really hope SS501 decides to renew with DSP/DSP offers to renew, because I'm just not ready to stop fangirling over them.

I never think he will joined other agency. I think DSP is a agency that treat them well and HJ is a loyal person toward DSP and of course, SS501

That's one assumption. And I believe it. Furthermore I believe it's their own company as not to violate any contract term they may still have with SME. Instead of going to another management company, it will be like: "Hey it's us representing ourselves". Again that's my fanwank.

I doubt he was even considering leaving his members.
But whatever he decides to do i'll support him.
