[News+Vid] [19/08] SS501 Kim Hyung Joon May Sign with Kang Ji Hwan Agency

This is the news that somehow shocked me this week. But since there is still no confirmation coming from Hyung Joon himself I'm still hoping for something. ^_^

Boy band SS501 member Kim Hyung Joon is looking into signing with actor Kang Ji Hwan'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 Hyun Joong 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 hope Hyungjoon will make the right decision and go to an agency that will make him happy. I hope that agency is also music oriented because he has a future to have his own solo album. I hope the Youngsaeng and Kyujong will soon find the right agency also. I was hoping for any of them to have a cameo on Leader's drama and even an OST.

Poor boys, although the media has the right state their opinion on the issue, sometimes I wish they'd stop reporting news in such negative light, with headlines such as 'dissolution'. I'm not angry with the media, i just think that just like us, the boys will also get to see media reports about themselves. I doubt they'll actually love to see such headlines, it'd make them even more stressed, and worried over what TSes will think about it.

Nonetheless, all the best to all of them.
