Jung Joon Young leaves CJ E&M and signs with Cheetah's and Younha's agency

[GirlCrush:Joy]

 

Singer Jung Joon Young has switched companies to C9 Entertainment, which houses artists such as Younha and Cheetah.

 

Jung Joon Young’s contract with CJ E&M has recently expired. On December 24, CJ E&M issued a press release that revealed, “A wonderful parting with Jung Joon Young has taken place.â€

 

After his previous contract’s expiration, Jung Joon Young has decided to hold hands with C9 Entertainment and start a new path for his singing career.

 

C9 Entertainment has been very successful in promoting many artists of various genres and unique charms. With Younha’s ballads and Cheetah’s hip hop style, the addition of Jung Joon Young’s rock sound will allow C9 Entertainment to widen its spectrum of musical styles.

 

Jung Joon Young first made himself known to the public when he got into the top 3 in the singing competition show, “Superstar K4.†In 2012, he had signed with CJ E&M. He is currently the vocalist of a band and is also a permanent member of KBS 2TV’s “1 Night 2 Days.â€

 

Furthermore, Jung Joon Young will be holding a concert with his band on December 30 to 31. This concert will mark the end of his ties with CJ E&M

This company is not really one that has a good track of successful promotions but hey if he's happy with what was offered and signed on.

[Wonder.]

he got loads of opportunities under cje&m tho

[Oliver]

Isn't Younha under Wealive?????

[GirlCrush:Joy]

he got loads of opportunities under cje&m tho

 

I think he is probably looking for an agency that will focus more on his music? Not that he wasn't active under CJ & M but I think they probably advised him to go with the variety lane? Such a company tends to focus on the better prospects (in terms of profit).

 

Isn't Younha under Wealive?????

 

C9 entertainment has 3 sub labels under it: WEALIVE, ALIVE, REALLIVE.

Each focuses on a certain genre or demographic

[jieblack91]

wait, is that means disbandment of JJY band too ?

[gummybear_dragon]

What is this company going to do with him? It would make more sense for him to stay in CJ E&M

[ari]

cj e&m is a great company tho they got them $$$

[asutra]

Younha influence! Do well jjy.

[Byakugan]

He aint gonna get more $$ with C9, CJEM got him alot of spots in shows

[timpa]

Guess he resisted Seo Yuri's temptation to join her company (which is more acting/variety oriented.

 

[BubbleGumPop]

wth, lmao hella downgrade

[lovesgoku]

Wow, I wasn't expecting that. I hope he gets to focus more on his music when this move though. I loved his 2nd album and Escape to Hangover with JJY Band. Hell I brought Escape to Hangover cause it was so good. Would love another album by them. Hopefully the band is coming with him/

[Nev Schulman]

Did not expect that tbh

I though he would stay with them

[elolery]

C9/WeAlive may not be promoting well on variety shows, but their artists have 100% music cred, prob why Joonyoung joined them. He's earned enough money anyways, so why not pursue his dream in a better way.

After that?

[Gen_ki]

After that?

The three other members of JJY Band weren't under CJ E&M's main office like Jung Joon Young. They are under MMO Ent., a subsidiary of CJ E&M and also agency for soloist Park Boram. So who knows?
