Newlywed singer and TV personality Kim Jong-kook is signing with the same agency as G-DRAGON and acclaimed actor Song Kang-ho.
On the 10th, AI entertainment-tech company Galaxy Corporation announced it had inked an exclusive deal with Kim. The company is also home to G-DRAGON and Song Kang-ho.
“It’s an honor to usher in a new era of AI-driven entertainment with Kim Jong-kook―a multi-hyphenate who achieved massive success both in a group and as a solo artist, and built a distinct presence in variety television,” said Choi Yong-ho, CEO of Galaxy Corporation.
Debuting in 1995 with the duo Turbo and going solo in 2001, Kim remains a fixture on SBS programs like "Running Man" and "My Little Old Boy." Galaxy Corporation added that his signing aligns with its vision to push beyond traditional entertainment by blending technology and art through AI.
Kim married a non-celebrity on the 5th in a private ceremony attended by family and close friends, with Yoo Jae-suk serving as the emcee. Following his label move, he’s preparing a 30th-anniversary album and concert.
