Lee Soo Hyuk parts ways with YG Entertainment
Lee Soo Hyuk worked for YG Entertainment, the agency that managed BLACKPINK, for over eight years. The S Line actor joined the label in March 2017 and has been managed by them until now. He is now headed to a new home following YG Entertainment's shutdown of its actor management business. The label shared the update in January of this year. They decided to go back to focusing on their main department—music.
According to some prior reports, YGE's actor management division has struggled to yield significant profits over the past few years. As a result, the company made the strategic decision to refocus its efforts on its profitable departments– managing K-pop artists and other musicians.
