Not gonna lie, I'm surprised he didn't do this sooner. However, it makes sense that he'd stay with CJeS for the time that he did, especially when he really started integrating his career with more focus on Korea. With all the bans and red tape with SM, it was necessary to have a strong backing to help navigate through all that. Now that things seemed to have calmed down a LITTLE bit, he likely feels more comfortable and capable to handle it as a one man show- which also means he gets to keep much more of his hard earned profits in the process. Good for him, I wish him well!
