Lee Hi, Akmu And WINNER Contract Remain On YG Become Highlights Following Seungri Scandal - B.I - A series of problems that occurred at YG Entertainment made public attention turn to artists who are still sheltering at the agency and how long they have remaining contracts.
YG Entertainment has continued to be hit by controversy in the past few months. Now attention is focused on artists who still have contracts with one of the biggest entertainment agencies in South Korea.
In March, YG Entertainment ended a contract with Seungri who decided to leave Big Bang and the agency after the Burning Sun controversy broke out. Recently, they ended a contract with B.I on June 12 when he left iKON following an exclusive report from Dispatch about himself trying to buy marijuana and LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) three years ago.
Not only that, Yang Hyun Suk as the agency's founder was also suspected of avoiding taxes and destroying evidence. A series of problems that occurred made public attention turn to artists who were still sheltered at the agency and how long the remainder of their contract remained.
It is said that other artists like Lee Hi, Akdong Musician and WINNER (II) still have some time left on their exclusive contracts with YG Entertainment. But there is no detailed information about the BLACKPINK contract (aka Black Pink).
Lee Hi debuted in 2012 with digital singles "1, 2, 3, 4,". But it is known that he just signed a contract in July 2013. His contract with YG Entertainment is 10 years, so he still has the rest of the year to go because it is set to expire in 2023.
Akdong Musician, a duo of siblings who debuted in April 2014, signed a seven-year contract with YG Entertainment. Their contract start date is the date of debut, so the duo group contract with Lee Chan Hyuk and Lee Soo Hyun will end in April 2021.
WINNER was recently mentioned about the contract in an interview during their comeback. "We still have a lot of time left (on our contract) to talk about contract renewal," they said. Although it is unclear how long their contract is, for now it seems that WINNER will remain with YG Entertainment.
