Actor and model Lee Soo-hyuk has officially joined SARAM Entertainment, the agency currently representing stars like Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung and Park Gyu-young. The news was confirmed via South Korean media outlet The Fact and later announced on SARAM’s official Instagram handle.
Lee, known for his roles in ‘Tomorrow’ and currently starring in ‘S Line’, marks a new chapter in his career after parting ways with YG Entertainment. He had been with YG since 2017, spending over eight years under their management. The SARAM agency captioned the post, “Actor Lee Soo Hyuk and Yoon Entertainment are building an exclusive image as an actor and a top model. Please look forward to actor Lee Soo Hyuk, who will continue his active activities on the global stage. More detailed news from the actors of Man Enter. Check it out on the ‘People Enter Stage’!

This move follows YG Entertainment’s decision to shut down its actor management division earlier this year to refocus on its core strength music. The label, known for managing K-pop giants like BLACKPINK, cited the division’s low profitability as a key reason behind the strategic shift.
Welcoming Lee, SARAM Entertainment stated on July 14, “We recently signed an exclusive contract with Lee Soo Hyuk. We will fully support him in expanding his career globally.” The agency is also home to names such as Gong Myoung, Claudia Kim, Yoon So-hee, and Lee Yeon-hee.
With a fresh start under a new banner, Lee Soo-hyuk’s fans can expect exciting projects ahead as he continues to build on his distinctive image in the entertainment industry.
