Jo In Sung and Cha Tae Hyun are making big moves in the entertainment industry!

According to an exclusive report from DongA.com, Jo In Sung has officially ended his 13-year partnership with NSE&M (formerly IOK Company) and is now preparing to launch a brand-new agency.

But he won’t be doing it alone—his longtime friend Cha Tae Hyun is joining him. Cha Tae Hyun has also wrapped up his contract with Blossom Entertainment, the agency he had been with since the very beginning.

The two actors have a strong friendship, having worked together on tvN’s Unexpected Business and the Disney+ hit series Moving.

Now, they’re taking their teamwork to the next level by starting a company together, alongside a trusted manager. Their goal? To recruit actors and build a solid team under their new agency.

Fans are excited to see how Jo In Sung and Cha Tae Hyun will grow as business partners, not just friends.

Since they were once both under SidusHQ in the past, many are curious about the kind of powerhouse agency they’ll create this time.

Xiumin’s agency, ONE HUNDRED, has spoken out about his unexpected exclusion from KBS 2TV’s Music Bank.

On March 4, the agency released an official statement, saying, “Xiumin, under INB100, is preparing for his solo comeback with Interview X on March 10, his first in two years and six months."

They added, "We have tried multiple times to reach out to KBS to secure a stage for him, but they have completely ignored us.”

The agency also revealed shocking details, stating, “Recently, KBS unofficially told us that Xiumin cannot appear on Music Bank or any programs where SM Entertainment artists are also performing.”

They continued, “We have repeatedly contacted KBS, asking them to put the artist and his fans first, but they won’t even respond.”

ONE HUNDRED strongly criticized the situation, saying, “As a public broadcast station, KBS should not be making decisions based on a specific company’s stance."

They added, "This is extremely unfair. We have done everything we can to resolve this, and we’re deeply disappointed to have to break this news to fans.”

Despite the setback, the agency reassured fans, promising, “Even if Xiumin can’t appear on KBS, we won’t give up. We’ll find even better opportunities for him to showcase his performances in front of fans.”

Meanwhile, Xiumin, who moved to INB100 (a subsidiary of ONE HUNDRED LABEL) in 2023, is set to release his second mini-album, Interview X, on March 10.

Fans are now waiting to see how this situation unfolds.
