He stated that “I used to be with JYP Entertainment. When I started looking for a new agency, I had several conditions in mind—and one of them was that I wanted to continue as a member of 2PM. There were quite a few companies that didn’t like that. Many said, ‘If you’re going to keep doing that, then you should officially retire from idols and fully transition to acting.’”
He then mentioned how the CEO of his current company reassured him and provided him with the belief that joining this agency would align with his goals.

I never perform elsewhere—only in front of my fans.”
