YONG JUN HYUNG
Singer YONG JUN HYUNG, former member of the group HIGHLIGHT, revealed that his agency, Black Made, demanded over 1 billion won (about €636,000) and unfairly terminated his contract.
In an Instagram story posted Friday, YONG JUN HYUNG said his agency suddenly offered to end their contract with him unconditionally on the very day his album was released last year. According to him, the company claimed the offer was part of a business reorganization.
The singer also accused the agency of being inconsistent—initially friendly when YONG JUN HYUNG said the exit request was “hard to understand,” but later reversing course and demanding that he leave the company within one to two months.
YONG JUN HYUNG added that Black Made demanded he pay damages for an investment from “another commerce company that I had never approved.” He insists he did nothing to violate his contract.
He explained that the demand for over 1 billion won was unilaterally calculated and called the order to leave the company “unacceptable.” He also claimed the agency ghosted him multiple times when he requested management services as per their contract.
YONG JUN HYUNG founded Black Made as an “independent label” in 2022, but the media outlet Xsportsnews later reported it was actually a subsidiary of the larger company Big Planet Made. YONG JUN HYUNG married singer HyunA last year.
