Son Suk Ku, now a free agent following the expiration of his exclusive contract with SBD Entertainment in August of the previous year, has embarked on a distinctive career path by venturing independently without a traditional agency. Those familiar with the industry observe that the Son Suk Ku name has evolved into a brand, naturally drawing attention and opportunities, even without proactive pursuit. Despite the potential challenges of managing a solo agency, he has chosen to sustain his flourishing acting career by aligning with a trustworthy manager.


Throughout the past year, Son Suk Ku, known for his interest in content creation, has engaged in discussions with various writers and directors, with plans to finalize contracts in the future. His new venture Stannum, a production and entertainment company, was officially registered on January 2, located in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, setting the stage for his upcoming endeavors in the industry. The former financial director of Saetbyuldang Entertainment, Son Suk Ku's previous agency, serves as the CEO.
