Singer-songwriter Kwon Jinah is embarking on a new journey, parting ways with the agency she has been with for 10 years.
On the 5th, it was reported in the music industry that Kwon Jinah’s exclusive contract with her current agency, Antenna, will expire this month. After long discussions, Kwon and the agency mutually agreed not to renew the contract, and they are currently preparing for a graceful farewell.
Kwon Jin Ah first came into the public eye in 2013 through SBS’s K-Pop Star 3. With her unique sensitivity, tone, and outstanding live performance skills, she received high praise from producer Yoo Heeyeol and gained attention by reaching the semifinals of the show.
After the show ended, Kwon signed an exclusive contract with Antenna the following year and began preparing for her debut, engaging with the public through various OSTs and project songs. She officially debuted in 2016 with her first full-length album One Strange Night and showcased a diverse spectrum of music through songs like "I Got Lucky," "The End," "Something’s Wrong," "Stupid Love," "Flower Heart," "Silly Silly Love," "Fly Away," and "Goodbye."
-Wow, even Kwon Jinah is leaving.
ㄴWhy? Has a lot of people been leaving Antenna lately?
-Seems like a lot of entertainers are entering this company while the musicians are gradually leaving.
-Kwon Jinah seemed like a top artist at Antenna, it's a shame.
-After 10 years, she might want to try something new. I'm sure she’ll do well wherever she goes.
-I hope she goes somewhere where she can pursue her music!
-To me, she was the singer I thought of when I thought of Antenna... She’ll do well anywhere, but I’ll support her!
-Antenna used to be all about music, but I’m not so sure nowadays...
-Is Antenna becoming a company for variety stars now?
-Antenna was great back in the day, but it feels like it’s losing its shine now.
-Antenna doesn’t really feel like a music-focused company anymore.
-Sam Kim also left after 10 years.
-She’s been there a long time.
-After 10 years, it’s natural to want to try a different company. Why are people obsessing about "identity" and all that?ㅋㅋㅋ Do people stay at the same company for their entire lives?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Oh, Sam Kim left? I didn’t know.
-I wonder where she’ll go now.
