“We will become Choi Jong Hyun’s reliable partner and support him so that he can infinitely unfold the potential he has as an actor,” it continued. “Also, we will provide wholehearted support so he can promote solo in a variety of ways, including album promotions and various content.”
The statement concludes with the company asking fans for “lots of support and interest in Choi Jong Hyun.” It is noted that Changjo “is taking a new leap as an actor and solo artist” with BEAT INTERACTIVE.
There is a good reason why Changjo has finally signed with a new agency. In April, it was confirmed that TEEN TOP is preparing for their first comeback in four years. Since Choi Jong Hyun did not renew his contract with TOP Media in January, he will need a new company to represent him.
