WONHO, formerly of K-pop boy group MONSTA X, is preparing himself to kick off his activities in the United States by signing with a management agency co-founded by American singer Madonna.

On May 7, WONHO's management agency Highline Entertainment revealed that WONHO has signed with a U.S management agency Maverick.
The agency stated, "WONHO, whose captivating vocals and outstanding songwriting, composing and producing skills have captured many hearts of fans, is teaming up with Maverick to collaborate with local producers in the U.S. and create new musical synergies."

They continued, "In addition to that, the company also plans to support WONHO's global activities in various ways."
Co-founded by Madonna in 1992, Maverick became a music management group after signing partnerships with production company Live Nation in 2014.
