“Pinocchio” actor Lee Jong Suk (이종석) has finally found himself an agency and it is none other than YG Entertainment!
The entertainment agency confirmed that they have signed an exclusive contract with the actor in an official statement on 10th May.
According to Naver, he decided to join YG because he wanted to focus on acting within a more secure and stable environment. He will be joining fellow A-list actors and actresses like Cha Seung Won, Kang Dong Won, and Goo Hye Sun at the agency.
The 26-year-old actor’s contract with his previous agency ended in December 2015. An insider stated that the actor received many offers from other companies after his contract ended but he refused them all.
