Lee Jun-ho, popular actor and member of the second-generation boy group 2PM, is officially parting ways with JYP Entertainment after a remarkable 17-year partnership.
JYP confirmed the news on 20 March, announcing that Jun-ho’s exclusive contract will expire on April 15th. According to their statement, both parties reached this decision following extensive discussions, “After a long period of deep discussion, our company and the artiste have decided not to proceed with renewing the contract.”
“We sincerely thank Junho for accompanying the company’s growth and journey for 17 years,” the agency added, acknowledging his significant contributions.
There’s good news for fans, as JYP will continue to manage Jun-ho’s activities in Japan and handle 2PM-related collaborations, maintaining some continuity for the group’s supporters.
Jun-ho expressed his gratitude to fans, “I sincerely thank you for your generous support over the past 17 years. I will move forward while cherishing the relationship we have built over our long time together and the value of the support you have given me.”
