YG Entertainment is closing its acting management branch to concentrate on its music business. The company confirmed this news on January 17 KST, expressing gratitude to the actors and actresses who have worked with them and to the fans for their support. YG Entertainment also stated they will continue to support their actors until their current contracts expire.
YG Entertainment’s Farewell to Actors
YG Entertainment is parting ways with its entire roster of actors and actresses. This list includes many well-known names in the Korean entertainment industry:
- Kim Hee Ae
- Cha Seung Won
- Jang Hyun Sung
- Yoo In Na

- Yoo Seung Ho
- Lee Sung Kyung
- Jang Ki Yong
- Lee Soo Hyuk

It is important to note that YG Entertainment has later clarified that the actors will remain with the company until their contracts conclude. They will not be renewing contracts with any actors, but this does not mean all actors will leave the company at the same time. They will depart as their individual contracts end.
YG Entertainment’s Shift to Music
YG Entertainment’s move back to a music-focused agency began last year. The company internalized its musician training center, YGX, and increased its in-house production team to 50 members. There are also reports that YG Entertainment is preparing a significant project related to BLACKPINK‘s expected comeback and world tour in 2025. Other artists, like BABYMONSTER and 2NE1, are also expected to have more activities in 2025.
