Yoo Ah-in splits from UAA after 12 years; Ryu Jun-yeol's future undecided; G-Dragon's agency silent

Yoo Ah-in, 40, has parted ways with UAA after 12 years. The agency confirmed his exclusive contract expired and will not be renewed.

When his drug scandal broke, Yoo Ah-in was technically already in free-agent status. UAA held on anyway, banking on the loyalty built over their long relationship. That loyalty has now ended.

Ryu Jun-yeol, also 40, sits in limbo. His contract period with UAA expired, but the agency says "there is nothing decided yet about his future plans." Discussions are ongoing. Not a clean break. Not a confirmed stay.

Song Hye-kyo, UAA's first-ever signed actress, closed out her 14-year partnership with the agency as of the 14th.

G-Dragon (real name Kwon Ji-yong, 38) is affiliated with Galaxy Corporation. That agency is currently staying silent amid considerable internal turbulence.
