Woolim Entertainment- its subsidiary company rep has mentioned on 30th August that Hoya has been together with the band members for seven years. He has ended his contract with the agency once it expires on 9th September.
"While discussing the contract with Hoya, he wanted to take a different path to expand his own dreams and career. The rest of the members decided to respect that choice."
The rest of Infinite members Kim Seong Gyu, Jang Dong-woo, Nam Woo-hyun, Lee Sung-yeol, L (Kim Myung-soo) and Lee Seong-jong have renewed their contracts with the agency. The company has planned to actively support group activities and individual activities in the future as well. As a result, INFINITE is also unable to escape from the seventh-year jinx which follows the idol groups like a tag.
In July 2009, the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) enacted standard terms and conditions for entertainers 'exclusive contracts, including that entertainment contractors and performers' exclusive contracts can't exceed seven years.
As a result, it looks like the idol groups are in crisis within five to seven years in line with the regular renewal period. As the individual activities of the members gradually increase and the degree of illumination changes, it is not easy to balance the members in the agency.
INFINITE who has been criticised for playing music reminiscent of the British boy band 'Take That' in the 1990's, has become a popular group with hit songs such as 'Paradise' and 'You Are Mine' since their debut in 2010.
