Boy band SS501 member Kim Hyung Joon is looking into signing with actor Kang Ji Hwan's agency S Plus Entertainment.
An official at S Plus told Asia Economic Daily over the phone on Wednesday that they are reviewing whether to sign an exclusive contract with the singer which will support his activities in Korea, although emphasizing "nothing has been decided."
The official also explained, "S Plus' headquarters in Japan currently handles various affairs for Kim in Japan but that's different from signing an exlusive contract."
S Plus supports several 'Hallyu,' or Korean Waves stars in Japan including Song Seung-heon, Kang Ji-hwan and Lee Jun-ki, either managing their career in the country, creating their Japanese websites or promoting their businesses.
If Kim signs with S Plus, he will become the third member of the five-man band to leave DSP Media, the agency his contract ended with in early June.
The group's leader Kim Hyun Joong was the first to find a new nest, signing with Bae Yong-joong's agency KEYEAST soon after his previous contract ended and Park Jung Min just last week joined CNR Media, a firm set up jointly by major Taiwanese drama producer Comic-Ritz and Korea's ROY MEDIA.
The boys have reassured fans SS501 will not disband despite going separate ways but the future of the band has been up in the air ever since.
Other members Heo Young Saeng and Kim Kyu Jong too have yet to make a decision.
SS501 has been one of the most popular bands in Korea and in several countries in Asia since forming in 2005.
