"YG contract is unfounded" Park Bo-gum's contract decision is being agonized over by FA

Attention is being paid to the future plans of actor Park Bo-gum, who has become a free agent.

On the 17th, amid reports that Park Bo-gum was signing an exclusive contract with YG Entertainment due to his relationship with singer Sean, YG Entertainment stated, "This is groundless," and "He is only a personal friend of Sean."

Park Bo-gum parted ways with Blossom Entertainment, with whom he had had many ups and downs, in December last year, and has remained a 'free agent' until now. As Park Bo-gum has a large fandom, special interest has been paid to his future actions.

Park Bo-gum and Sean are running mates and work out together. In addition, Park Bo-gum maintains a good relationship with Sean by participating in various volunteer and donation activities and supporting him. There are reports that Park Bo-gum, who has a close relationship with Sean, the registered director of YG Entertainment, might take his influence and establish a home at YG Entertainment. However, YG Entertainment dismissed the possibility, calling it 'unfounded'.

Park Bo-gum's currently expected course of action is twofold: one is to open his own one-person agency, and the other is to join a like-minded company that can well support his life as an actor.

While it is expected that many management companies have sent love calls to Park Bo-gum's free agency, Park Bo-gum's free agency status is extending for about a month. Park Bo-gum appears to be considering his future actions in a very cautious and careful manner.

Park Bo-gum gained great popularity through tvN's 'Reply 1988' and emerged as a popular actor. Afterwards, he continued his activities through tvN's 'Boyfriend' and 'Youth Record'. He also acted in movies such as 'Seobok' in 2021. He appeared in 'Wonderland', directed by director Kim Tae-yong. ‘Wonderland’ is scheduled to be released this year.
