Jung Joon Young has switched agencies!

On January 3, his former agency, C9 Entertainment, stated, “With our contract with Jung Joon Young due to expire, after many deep discussions, we agreed to part ways. However, we will continue to cheer on his cool image as an artist in many different fields. Thank you to all the fans who have loved Jung Joon Young and we ask you to continue supporting him in the future.”

After the conclusion of his contract with C9, Jung Joon Young signed with a new label formed by MAKEUS Entertainment, the same agency that houses Sunmi, Urban Zakapa, and Park Won.

Also on January 3, MAKEUS Entertainment released a statement that said, “We will pour all our resources into supporting talented musicians so they can bring out their true musical capacities. Our agency will be building a new music label and focusing more on the music business. Jung Joon Young is the first artist to sign under our new label.”

The statement continued, “We made a new label just for Jung Joon Young, who is an all-around player that is able to work in many different fields such as music, broadcast, variety programs, and as a pro gamer. We intend to support him in all his entertainment activities, not only his musical capacities. We will put our resources into making it possible for him to promote as a musician and a multitalented entertainer.”

Jung Joon Young first made his name known in 2012 through Mnet’s “Superstar K Season 4.” He is currently promoting as part of the band Drug Restaurant and is a member of variety shows like “2 Days & 1 Night” and “Salty Tour.” He is also preparing for the official launch of his Paris restaurant.
