Lee Sung Kyung parts ways with YG Entertainment
Lee Sung Kyung was part of YG Entertainment, the agency managing BLACKPINK for 11 years. The Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo actress joined the label in 2014 as a model and debuted as an actress under them. She is now headed to a new home following YGE's shutdown of the actor management business. YG Entertainment announced in January of this year. Their decision was based on their focus on their primary department– music.
Some reports also claimed that their actor management sphere hasn't been not quite profitable in the last couple of years, and thus they decided to shift back to focusing solely on K-pop artists and other musicians.
