YG Denies Exclusive Contract Rumors as 'Baseless'
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Where will actor Park Bo-gum (30) head next? The industry’s attention is focused on Park Bo-gum’s future after parting ways with his previous agency.
On the 17th, reports emerged that Park Bo-gum would transfer to YG Entertainment following singer Sean. Regarding this, a YG representative denied the claim, calling it "unfounded."
Park Bo-gum ended his exclusive contract with Blossom Entertainment last December. He began his acting career in 2011 at SidusHQ and moved to Blossom the following year when many management staff became independent.
After debuting in the film Blind (2011), he appeared in various works such as The Admiral: Roaring Currents (2014), Coin Locker Girl (2015), and dramas like Reply 1988, Love in the Moonlight, Encounter, and Record of Youth. He has built a solid fandom both domestically and internationally, walking the path of a top star.
He has also completed his military service. Park Bo-gum was discharged in April last year and is actively engaged in advertisements and events ahead of the release of the film Wonderland. Recently, he has been continuing volunteer work in rural areas, spreading positive influence.
Park Bo-gum is an actor with outstanding star quality. He has built trust through a strong fandom and diligent, upright self-management. The industry is highly interested in his future, given his powerful brand power. There is a buzz about various possibilities, including "going solo" and transferring to a major agency.
Recently, his jogging with singer Sean by the Han River and participation in house-building volunteer work attracted attention, leading to speculation that he might be joining YG Entertainment. However, YG’s statement that the rumor is "unfounded" has settled the matter for now.
Amid numerous love calls, all eyes are on what choice Park Bo-gum will make.
