Following the news, JungGiGo himself also uploaded a post via Instagram to thank the agency for all the support he has received over the years. He wrote, "Hello, this is JungGiGo. My contract with Starship, a company that I received a lot of help from, has come to an end. I had such a happy time, met so many amazing people and learned a lot. I would like to say thank you once again to Starship as when it was time to renew my contract, I expressed my desire to create my own company and they understood. They even supported and cheered me on. Even though my contract is over, I'll be continuing to cheering on Starship as an honorary citizen/member. Starship's staff, managers, and family who've supported me all this time, you worked very hard. Thank you! #Starship #HonoraryCitizen #JungGiGo."

안녕하세요 정기고 입니다. 오랜동안 신세를 졌던 스타쉽과의 계약이 끝났습니다. 정말 좋은 사람들을 만나서 많은 것을 배우고 너무 행복한 시간을 보냈습니다. 재계약 시점이 되어서 제 회사를 만들고 싶다는 제 뜻을 이해해주시고 감사하게도 여러가지로 지원까지 해주시고 응원해주신 우리 스타쉽에게 다시 한번 감사드립니다. 계약은 끝이 났지만 앞으로도 스타쉽의 명예시민으로 항상 응원하고 함께 할거에요. 우리 스타쉽 회사 사무실 직원들 매니져들 모든 식구들 그동안 저를 서포트 해주시느라 수고 많으셨어요. 감사합니다! #스타쉽 #명예시민 #정기고
