GOT7 Jackson and Youngjae might join the same agency following their departure from JYP Entertainment.
On Jan. 11, JYP Entertainment confirmed that all GOT7 members will not renew their exclusive contracts with them, which means the boy band will be leaving the record label following their contract expiration, which has now taken place on Jan. 19.
According to an exclusive report from Newsen on Jan. 20, the Chinese member of GOT7, Jackson, is currently in discussion with Sublime Artist Agency. Earlier this month, TEAM WANG confirmed that they will also be managing the male idol's activities.
Considering the two record labels, people's interests are focused on GOT7 Jackson probably being active both in Korea and China. Well, in previous reports of Dispatch, it is said that the rapper plans to promote in both countries. In response to the report, Sublime Artist Agency confirmed that they are currently talking about a potential exclusive contract with the male idol.
On Jan. 10, the entertainment company also shared that they were discussing with GOT7 Youngjae about a possible contract. This only means that two GOT7 members would make the label their new home where they will start their new chapters in life.
Sublime Artist Agency is a comprehensive entertainment label that works in artist management, album planning and production, and advertisement. It currently is home to Rain, Song Kang Ho, EXID's Hani, T-ara's Hyomin, former PRISTIN member Lim Nayoung, and more.
