Actor Jang Ki Yong might be joining UAA, and fans are already buzzing with excitement!

On February 18th, UAA confirmed to Star News that they held a meeting with Jang Ki Yong to discuss the possibility of him signing an exclusive contract with the agency. However, they also made it clear that nothing has been finalized yet.

Jang Ki Yong's current agency, YG Entertainment, has been going through restructuring and decided to shift its focus more towards music, leaving its actor management division behind. As a result, it looks like Jang Ki Yong is on the hunt for a new agency, and UAA could be the perfect fit!

UAA is home to big stars like Song Hye Kyo, Ahn Eun Jin, Kim Dae Myung, and Kim Da Mi, and Jang Ki Yong already has a connection with them. He worked alongside Song Hye Kyo in SBS’s Now, We Are Breaking Up, so the two have some history together.

Jang Ki Yong, who started his career as a model, kicked off his acting journey in 2014 with the hit drama It's Okay, That's Love. Since then, he’s taken on leading roles in popular dramas like Go Back Couple, My Ahjussi, Come and Hug Me, Search: WWW, The Strange Housekeeper, and Not a Hero But....

But that’s not all! Jang Ki Yong will also be starring alongside UAA’s Ahn Eun Jin in the upcoming SBS drama Kiss is Nothing But Trouble!, which is set to air later this year. The drama tells the story of a single woman who pretends to be a mother to get a job, and the team leader who falls for her. Jang Ki Yong will play the male lead, Gong Ji Hyuk, and fans are already excited for the chemistry between him and Ahn Eun Jin!

Could this be the start of a new chapter for Jang Ki Yong at UAA? Fans can’t wait to see what happens next.

Kwon Eun Bi recently opened up about the generation gap she felt with Jang Wonyoung during their time together in IZ*ONE.

On April 4, Kwon Eun Bi made a guest appearance on the YouTube channel “Workman”, where she worked with host Jang Sung Kyu as a luxury car mechanic.

During the episode, Kwon Eun Bi shared, “When we were active in IZ*ONE, I was the oldest member, and there was a 9-year age gap with the youngest member, Jang Wonyoung (born in 2004).”

Jang Sung Kyu teased her, saying, “So, you were like her aunt,” to which Kwon Eun Bi responded with a laugh, “More like her teacher!” This playful comment got everyone laughing.

Jang Sung Kyu then asked, “Did you feel the generation gap, especially when talking?” Kwon Eun Bi reminisced, “We were singing the song ‘It’s Already One Year’, and Jang Won Young asked, ‘What’s that?’ That’s when I felt the generation gap. It’s a song I used to sing a lot at karaoke—it’s a real nostalgic classic.” ‘It’s Already One Year’ was a hit song by Brown Eyes, released in June 2001.

Jang Sung Kyu commented, “Your generation is similar to mine,” but Kwon Eun Bi quickly replied, “Oh, no, that’s not true!” causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Kwon Eun Bi’s candidness about the generational difference in IZ*ONE had fans reminiscing about the unique chemistry and moments from their time together in the group.
