Park Jungmin of SS501 has signed an exclusive contract with Sony Music Taiwan.
Although, this is just a 3rd party agency in Park Jung Min's part.
Sony Music Korea said on the 3rd, " Park Jung Min has signed with Sony Taiwan, But that has nothing to do with his activities in South Korea. Park Jung Min signing witn Sony Taiwan is just to control his activities and agreements in Taiwan and on releasing an album in Taiwan. Also, Park Jung Min has business in Taiwan such as his shopping mall and such".
Park Jung Min signed with Sony Music Taiwan is just to represent him on his international activities, and it is common for local artists to sign with international labels. Just like how SM Entertainment is being represented by Avex with their artist's activities in Japan.
Although, Park Jung Min has not yet decided on his agency in South Korea. Park Jung Min debuted with SS501 and their contract has expired already earlier this month, Kim Hyun Joong has already signed with KeyEast Entertainment.
DSP Entertainment officials have said their side on this, "There has been a draft of the renewal of contract made on the 29th of June regarding the future of SS501, however the other four member's have not decided yet. Kim Hyung Joon is continuing his DJ activities with SBS Music High, Young Saeng and Kim Kyu Joong with Park Jung Min are taking a break for a while before they will decide".
So far, Park Jung Min has not decided on an agency he will sign with in South Korea. There are possibilities for the four members to renew their contract with DSP Entertainment or to another agency.
The future of SS501 is still yet to be determined.
UPDATE! No signing has happened yet.
“Priority is agreement with the members.. Mutal agreement on SS501 activities”
With regards to news reports on SS501 member Park JungMin signed a contract with Sony Music Taiwan, Park JungMin’s representative said “This is not true.”
Park JungMin’s representative said to Nocutnews on 3-Jul through a telephone interview “The news report today on Park JungMin’s future (contract) is untrue. Even though it is true that they have some discussions about contracts with Sony Music Taiwan, but they have not officially signed on any contracts yet.”
The representative continued “Before signing the contract, the very first question is member’s agreement. The members have not been having sufficient conversations, especially for the case of HyungJun, who is very stressed because his very close friend Mr Park Yong Ha’s death. Question on Park JungMin’s future is also the question for the whole of SS501, therefore they must have ample discussions before they come into conclusion.”
He added “They must come into a conclusion on SS501’s continuality of activities such as album, concerts, etc before they consider the contracts. After they solve the problems such as those mentioned just now, they will then sign the contracts, and after they signed a contract, they will announce it officially.”
SS501’s contract has expired in early June with their current management company DSP Media. Leader Kim HyunJoong signed a contract with Bae YongJun’s company Key East, while the remaining members Park JungMin, Heo YoungSaeng, Kim KyuJong and Kim HyungJun have not decided on their future contract yet.

Date: 2010-07-03 05:26 pm (UTC)Second, TT_TT
Every time an artist signs up with another agency, even if it's a 3rd party agency, I have doubts. You never really know what's gonna happen or what they're gonna decide on.
But I don't think Jungmin's gonna be full on with Sony Taiwan though. He might be popular over there, but he's not as likely to make it solo than if he was with SS501.
At least they're resting for now though. Although resting means more time to think about separating from the group. TT_TT
