SS501 Kim Hyung-joon may sign with Kang Ji-hwan agency

[dysphoriia.livejournal.com]

Boy band SS501 member Kim Hyung-joon is looking into signing with actor Kang Ji-wan's agency S Plus Entertainment.

An official at S Plus told Asia Economic Daily over the phone on Wednesday that they are reviewing whether to sign an exclusive contract with the singer which will support his activities in Korea, although emphasizing "nothing has been decided."

The official also explained, "S Plus' headquarters in Japan currently handles various affairs for Kim in Japan but that's different from signing an exlusive contract."

S Plus supports several 'Hallyu,' or Korean Waves stars in Japan including Song Seung-heon, Kang Ji-hwan and Lee Jun-ki, either managing their career in the country, creating their Japanese websites or promoting their businesses.

If Kim signs with S Plus, he will become the third member of the five-man band to leave DSP Media, the agency his contract ended with in early June.

The group's leader Kim Hyung-joon was the first to find a new nest, signing with Bae Yong-joong's agency KEYEAST soon after his previous contract ended and Park Jung-min just last week joined CNR Media, a firm set up jointly by major Taiwanese drama producer Comic-Ritz and Korea's ROY MEDIA.

The boys have reassured fans SS501 will not disband despite going separate ways but the future of the band has been up in the air ever since.

Other members Heo Young-saeng and Kim Kyu-jong too have yet to make a decision.

SS501 has been one of the most popular bands in Korea and in several countries in Asia since forming in 2005.

I really hope this isn't the end of SS501, but actions speak louder than words so I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens in the end. If they don't return, then R.I.P. a great band.

[lopezfitzgerald.livejournal.com]

i don't think they'll "officially" disband but i seriously doubt they'll ever make music again

sounds like disbandment to me. just admit it, SS501's fans can handle it.

[i-n-o-j.livejournal.com]

also I hope Baby does something big, he's one of my unfest kpop boys.

[decodexx.livejournal.com]

Well, damn. :/

[decodexx.livejournal.com]

good luck to Baby regardless, lol.

[jyului.livejournal.com]

[i-n-o-j.livejournal.com]

Ugh idec I love this guy.

[jaele.livejournal.com]

[annanuna.livejournal.com]

[xblackchristmas.livejournal.com]

T___T i was hoping at least the other 3 would stay together to do something.
jungmin going into acting rather than singing was already a </3

[queenhinata.livejournal.com]

yea I was hoping for U R MAN ver.2 =/

[billisamidget.livejournal.com]

I've passed the shaking and crying phase, and now I'm just hoping that all of these new contracts mean that SS fans will be able to see more of the members... even as individuals.

[rosamajalis.livejournal.com]

He should go the progamer route, imo.

(Or was that the other guy? Different romanisations confuse me.)

[whynotplay.livejournal.com]

yeah it was him lol

[sushifaced.livejournal.com]

Question: Are any of the agencies they're signing with any good? I've never heard of any of them.

And honestly, I'm just happy this means he still has a career or something, because bb is fine and I need to see him on my laptop screen as much as possible.

[yunhalove.livejournal.com]

Ugh. I never really thought much about him until I saw him in his progamer series, and now I'm worried the most for him out of all of them. Poor bb deserves to be happy. <3

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]

why are you worried the most about him? I'm more worried about the other two young saeng and kyu, especially kyu. atleast baby isn't shy and he can make due with some variety show or another. Plus he's a decent singer imo, probably second best after young saeng.

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]

awww baby. He's always been my favorite out of the group. I wish him all the best.
