Uee is Now an Exclusive Talent of King Entertainment

K-pop idol-turned-actress Uee has officially inked an exclusive contract with King Entertainment.

After her contract with Yuleum Entertainment, her agency of two years, expired in May, reports have surfaced that she has been on the lookout for a new home. In June, media outlets have revealed that the 31-year-old was in discussion with King Entertainment for the possibility of being their newest talent.

Confirming this news on July 5, the agency said in a statement that they have “entered into an important relationship” with the award-winning actress, praising her for “adamantly building her filmography with her impressive acting ability.”

“We are elated to start this new journey with Uee. We will do our best to support her and help her continue her acting career, providing her a happy and comfortable working environment,” they further added.

The company concluded their statement with a call for Uee’s fans to continue supporting her as a “King Entertainment actress.”

Uee first broke into the Korean entertainment scene as a member of the girl group After School in 2009 (though she has been part of the outfit Five Girls since 2007, the group did not debut due to their agency’s financial issues).

She left After School and their agency Pledis Entertainment in 2017.

Her official foray into acting was in the 2009 hit period drama “Queen Seondeok.”

Consider by her peers as one of the industry’s most hardworking artists, Uee gained even more prominence when she joined the cast of “Ojakgyo Family.” Her role earned her a “Best New Actress” award from the Baeksang Arts Awards and KBS Drama Awards.

She has since starred in various dramas like “High Society,” “Marriage Contract,” “Manhole,” and My Contracted Husband, Mr. Oh.”

Her last project was KBS2’s “My Only One,” whose audience ratings have reached as high as around 49 percent.

By signing an exclusive contract with King Entertainment, she now shares the same agency with actors Kim Ah Joong, Kim Kang Woo, Soo Ye Ji, and Lee So Yeon among others.
