[2024] What is the contract situation for Korean entertainment agencies?

Many groups were unable to overcome the "Seven Years of Demons" and ended their activities in their seventh year of debut, the former Korean entertainment industry.😳

Even if the group did not disband, it was not uncommon for some members to leave.😭

⭐Click here for the special article "The Devil's 7th Year"🌟

🔗A compilation of K-POP groups that have overcome seven years of devils! Which group will be celebrating their seventh year between 2024 and 2025?

However, there have been new developments over the past few years...!

Even if some members move to another agency, they will not be disbanded or left.There is an increasing number of patterns of continuing activities💡

So from here on,Contract situations at Korean entertainment agenciesAboutRecent trendsWe will introduce you to✊✨

Has your lifespan been extended? K-POP Group activities are becoming more and more popular

In the highly competitive K-POP world, even if they debut, they are unable to make a break, and it is not uncommon for them to gradually decrease the chances of making comebacks, leading to disbandment.😢

Even if the company has become popular, it has been seen that when it is the seventh year of debut, when the company ends its exclusive contract period with the agency, it is often the case that it is unable to re-sign with the members and ends its disbandment.⚡

In the days when the so-called K-POP second and third generations were active, I feel that many groups disbanded even at the peak of popularity and shocked the public.

Therefore, the idea that "K-POP idols have a short lifespan" was once common.😲💔

However, it seems that the trend has gradually changed recently.👀❕

Even if members are transferred to the agency, the group is clearly stated that the group will remain alive, and the "long-term activities" is now progressing in a new way 🤍

Furthermore, there are increasing numbers of cases where all members have re-signed contracts, and group activities continue to last longer.♪

If your favorite group will last for a long time, including 10 or 15 years, fans will be able to support you with peace of mind.✊✨

Continuing group activities after transferring to the agency

The contract with your agency expires, and it seems that it is also time to consider how to advance your career as an idol.🌱

There are many cases where he has moved to a new agency, becomes active in solo activities as a singer, masters his acting career, and tries out musicals.👀✨

In the past, there were many cases where people left the group when they transferred to the agency...

The increase in the Korean entertainment industry these days is increasing."Even if you transfer from the agency, you will still be involved in group activities."I'm an idol! !

for example,2PM's Ok Tae-kyunghas moved from JYP Entertainment to the specialist management company for actors, 51k!

By transferring from the agency, I think it has become an environment where you can play the music you want even more.😌

The choice to "continue group activities after transferring to the agency" is a great choice for fans, as it allows you to see your idol-like appearance and your idol-like appearance up to now.🌷

Solo activities at a private office

Recently, the style of "continuing solo activities at the individual agency and group activities at the group's agency" has been attracting attention.❕

Among the options of "continuing group activities after transferring to an office," the independence pattern of "establishing a private office" has increased.👏

BirthdaySupport your favorite activities by launching ads as a crowdfan!

One of the cultures that started in Korea is the support method called "favorite ads."✨

「BirthdayAlso known as "advertising" or "supporting ads", it is a familiar presence to K-POP fans.💡

A favorite ad is an ad that fans spontaneously post to coincide with their favorite birthday or anniversary.📢

You can display advertisements in a variety of places, including visions around town and stations!

「I want to support my favorite!」「I want to celebrate my favorite birthday or anniversary!Fans around the world who have the desire to "that's what they're doing, are voluntarily posting non-commercial ads."😊

In addition to "translating our own feelings to our idols," there is also the advantage of "you can promote your idols to various people!!"💡

"I'd like to post an ad for my favorite one someday too... 🥺💖There may be some people who say, "💗

BirthdayWhat is a crowdfan?

「Individuals have launched a project to promote their favorites and have launched a project.A service where people who support each other provide support funds and support ads」

Every fan wants to have a long-lasting group activity 🥺💖

To respond to such feelings,Idols who continue to work in group even if their agency is dividedThere are more and more✨
