I'm feeling so shitty right now...
A related source confirmed on the 28th, “Kim Hyun Joong has decided not to renew his contract with DSP Entertainment. … He will move to another agency.” It’s also been reported that Hyun Joong will enter Keyeast (키이스트), an agency known for its prominent actors including Bae Yong Joon, Park Ye Jin, Bong Tae Gyu, Lee Bo Young, Lee Na Young and Hwanhee, so it’s very likely that Hyun Joong’s career will take the acting route.
Due to Kim Hyun Joong’s decision to leave DSPE, there are now questions about the rest of the members of SS501. Many wonder if this will mark the end of SS501, or whether the rest of the members will follow the routes of Shinhwa and g.o.d and complete promotional activities together with Hyun Joong under different agencies.
UPDATE: According to new reports, DSPE hasn’t decided whether SS501 will gain a new member or become a quartet, implying that, although Hyun Joong will be leaving the group, his departure won’t mark the end of SS501. As the rest of the members of SS501 are working on renewing their contracts with DSPE, fans can only hope for the best until an official statement is released.

sighz… as much as i love hyunjoong and the boys and wish to believe in them. it’s hard. not everyone can pull a shinhwa system as well as shinhwa themselves. plus, most (or all?) of the shinhwa members are under their own self-setup agencies, that’s why it’s much easier for them to keep up with the together but apart system under different agencies. this is not the case for hyunjoong and the boys. unless TripleS really stand up for them strongly, DSP and Keyeast may not allow them to remain together. plus, hyunjoong may really wanna focus on acting and put a hiatus on singing….
why hyunjoongie, why?
i wld really be feeling less a shitty as now if you're not the one telling us fans to believe in SS501, and also not the one making a joke out of the initial rumours of disbandment.
but since you're the one doing both, you'll make sure SS501 won't become SS401 or worse, SS501 with a new leader, right?
