I'm so glad he's out of that disgusting agency who stabbed him in the back out of pettiness. They knew they did him dirty and that's why when a law suit was brought up and they promptly apologised.

I'm also glad that Kim Jung Hyun has his brother who went to meet a representative from the company on his behalf. I can imagine it went a little something like this "You know what you did was wrong, but if you let my brother leave peacefully then we won't sue. Let's end this here and cut ties."

Kim Jung Hyun could probably expose his agency for a lot, but didn't want to drag this out. 1. For his mental wellbeing. 2. So he can move on. 3. So the man can actually continue working (if he's in the middle of a law suit then he won't be able to work, no other agency will want to sign with him until it's over).

I wish Kim Jung Hyun all the best with his future endeavours! Hopefully he'll be back on our screens in no time! 👏🏼

On a side note - I wish people would STOP dragging Kim Jung Hyun and blaming him for the drama with Seo Ye Ji. It was a private matter between the two of them, but he wasn't the one who exposed those texts messages. His agency did this to them. His agency tried to use those texts messages as a way to keep him in his contract longer. He quit that drama and went on hiatus and his agency were trying to say that the 12 month hiatus doesn't count as part of his contract as he wasn't active so they exposed the messages to try pressure him into lengthening his contract by 12 months. However this backfired because all the agency did was expose a private matter that everyone moved on from, which involves Seo Ye Ji.

The agency was even approached for a statement about all of this, but they simply responded with "we're in dispute with Kim Jung Hyun at the moment so we're in no position to comment" aka they stabbed him in the back and then left him to fend off any drama by himself. IT IS THE AGENCY'S FAULT not Kim Jung Hyun so please don't point your fingers at him anymore. Seo Ye Ji should sue the agency for defamation.

Let's all move on from this mess now.
