Actor Jang Ki-yong is expected to work with Song Hye-kyo.
Recently, Jang Ki-yong discussed an exclusive contract with UAA. On the 18th, UAA stated, "We had a meeting regarding the exclusive contract with Jang Ki-yong," adding, "We are in the stage of positive consideration."
Jang Ki-yong has been looking for a new agency after YG Entertainment decided to focus on its core music business and ended its actor management operations.
Jang Ki-yong's move to UAA seems natural. He has a connection with Song Hye-kyo, having starred as the male and female leads in the SBS drama "Now, We Are Breaking Up" before his military enlistment, and he has mentioned that their relationship continued after the show ended, with Song Hye-kyo visiting him during his military service.
Additionally, Jang Ki-yong will be paired with UAA actor Ahn Eun-jin in the upcoming SBS drama "Kiss First!" scheduled to air this year.
Jang Ki-yong has established himself as an actor with both acting skills and star quality through various works, including the dramas "Come and Hug Me," "Search WWW," "My Roommate is a Gumiho," "Now, We Are Breaking Up," and "I'm Not a Hero." His upcoming projects include "Kiss First!" and a mystery thriller titled "Pigsty," alongside Shin Ha-kyun and Park Hee-soon.
