A
related source confirmed on the 28th, “Kim Hyun Joong has decided not
to renew his contract with DSP Entertainment. … He will move to another
agency.” It’s also been reported that Hyun Joong will enter Keyeast
(키이스트
, an agency known for its prominent actors including Bae Yong
Joon, Park Ye Jin, Bong Tae Gyu, Lee Bo Young, Lee Na Young and
Hwanhee, so it’s very likely that Hyun Joong’s career will take the
acting route.
Due to Kim Hyun Joong’s decision to leave DSPE,
there are now questions about the rest of the members of SS501. Many
wonder if this will mark the end of SS501, or whether the rest of the
members will follow the routes of Shinhwa and g.o.d and complete
promotional activities together with Hyun Joong under different
agencies.
UPDATE: DSPE reportedly hasn’t decided whether SS501
will gain a new member or stay as a quartet, implying that, although
Hyun Joong will be leaving the group, his departure won’t mark the end
of SS501. As the rest of the members of SS501 are working on renewing
their contracts with DSPE, fans can only hope for the best until an
official statement is released.

best to help Kim Hyun Joong's entertainment career and train him to
become a world level celebrity."

as a group. To this, Keyeast representative expressed that even though
KHJ has left DSP Entertainment company, but he still kept a good
relationship with the other SS501 members. There is a possibility
that he will participate in future SS501 albums. Although Keyeast
