Kyuhyun, who made his debut as a member of Super Junior in 2006, left SM Entertainment in July after 17 years.
Aside from Kyuhyun, Donghae and Eunhyuk also parted ways with SM Entertainment. On the other hand, Donghae and Eunhyuk, who also promotes as the Super Junior sub-unit D&E, are rumored to establish their own talent agency. However, there’s still no confirmation about it, as of writing.
Donghae, Eunhyuk, and Kyuhyun said that they will still promote as members of Super Junior moving forward.
Kyuhyun made his debut as a solo artist in 2014 with the mini-album At Gwanghwamun. He also starred in various musicals and hosted variety programs.
Meanwhile, Antenna is an agency founded by singer-songwriter Yoo Hee Yeol. It is home to artists like Lee Hyori, Yoo Jae Suk, Lee Sang Soon, Kwon Jin Ah, Mijoo, and more.
