For Yong Jun-hyung, the separation didn’t happen suddenly—it built over time.
On March 30, he revealed via Instagram that he had formally notified BLACKMADE of his decision to terminate his exclusive contract, citing prolonged issues that, in his words, made trust difficult to maintain.
According to his statement, repeated requests to address key contractual concerns had gone unresolved for years. By March 12, he said, the situation had reached a point where he moved to end the agreement under applicable legal grounds.
The conflict itself isn’t new. He had previously spoken out about disputes involving financial demands tied to investments he claims he neither approved nor discussed, bringing the issue into public view long before this announcement.
With no official response from the agency so far, Yong stated that he now considers the contract effectively terminated—and plans to continue independently.
After years of friction, the next chapter appears to be one he defines on his own terms.
