While Girls’ Generation leader Taeyeon renewed her contract with SM Entertainment, it was revealed that soloist BoA has decided to part ways with the company.
The news was confirmed by the agency on 12 January, saying that their collaboration has come to an end after 25 years.
“After extensive and in-depth discussions with BoA, we have agreed to conclude our 25-year journey together as of 31 December 2025,” it stated.
“BoA debuted in 2000 at the age of 13, and even now, as she marks the 25th anniversary of her debut, she has continued to receive immense love from global music fans as the ‘Star of Asia,’ having pioneered the Korean Wave across Asia. She has also become a role model for countless junior artistes who are leading the global K-pop phenomenon today,” it added.
Saying that the singer-dancer has been their pride and treasure, the company added that they will support BoA’s future endeavours.
Meanwhile, the singer herself posted on social media, writing, “After giving and receiving without holding back, I will leave without hesitation. Thank you for the time we spent together, and I will continue to support the brilliant SM Entertainment. Thank you.”
