VIXX‘s N will be leaving Jellyfish Entertainment in favor of joining 51K.
According to an exclusive report from Sports Donga, N will be leaving Jellyfish Entertainment as he has decided not to renew his exclusive contract with the company. He was previously signed to Jellyfish Entertainment for the past 8 years.
Instead of staying with Jellyfish Entertainment, he has decided to join 51K, and is in the final stages of negotiating his new exclusive contract. 51K is currently home to a variety of actors, including 2PM‘s Taecyeon, So Ji Sub, and Lee Seung Woo. This move is N seeking to cement his status as an actor, and seeing Taecyeon’s transition from an idol to an actor was a factor in his decision.
In response to the report, Jellyfish Entertainment confirmed N would in fact be leaving the company, but eased Starlights’ hearts, also confirming he will still be around for VIXX’s promotions.
