Lee Soogeun's Contract Expires On the 17th --> Taemin's Contract Will End in Late March, Leaving SM ... Moving to Big Planet Made
Taemin, who debuted as the youngest member of SHINee in 2008, has been with SM for 16 years, signing multiple contract renewals. It's anticipated that he will move to Big Planet after his exclusive contract with SM expires at the end of this month. However, he plans to continue group activities with SHINee under SM.
It's been reported that Baekhyun, a former EXO member who left SM, had advised and influenced Taemin's decision to move. A source stated, "Taemin decided to move to Big Planet under the influence of his close friend Baekhyun."
Baekhyun left SM this year and co-founded the agency INB100 with fellow EXO members Chen and Xiumin. During this process, he also sought advice from his close friend and senior in the music industry, MC Mong. Big Planet is a company where MC Mong was previously known to hold a position as an executive.
Kang Jung-hyun, including An Sung-hyun, the husband of Sung Yuri, and other figures implicated in the suspicion of actual ownership of Bithumb, have been indicted on charges of embezzlement mediation. MC Mong has been identified as a key witness to uncover the circumstances surrounding the transfer of 5 billion KRW between An Sung-hyun and Kang Jung-hyun. The prosecution alleges that in January 2022, An Sung-hyun received 20 billion KRW in cash under the pretext of a security deposit in exchange for acquiring a 5% stake in Big Planet Made Entertainment, an entertainment planning agency where MC Mong served as an internal director, to facilitate a 20 billion KRW investment from Kang Jung-hyun.
Big Planet is a company embroiled in controversies surrounding investments and cryptocurrencies. Although Big Planet denied last year that MC Mong was not an internal director, the prosecution has identified him as one and is currently summoning him. MC Mong failed to appear three times, resulting in a fine of 6 million won.

-Did they become close while working together as a unit?
-Taemin isn't a kid, why bring up such nonsense?
-Ah, I just wished he stayed with SMㅜㅜㅜ
-This can't be a coincidence.
-It's not particularly unusual to seek advice from someone who has the experience of leaving SM Ent. first, right? He's a man in his 30s, he knows how to decide his own path.
-A man in his thirties who has been in the entertainment industry for more than a decade isn't just going to listen to what one friend says. He probably made the decision himself for the better.
-Even though he's in his thirties, sure, people might have given advice around him, but he would have made the decision himself.
-He's an adult, he must have decided on his own.
-Taemin isn't in middle school, he's a 33-year-old adult, he must have chosen on his own.
-He's not a child, he must have done it on his own.
-Taemin is over thirty years old.
-Is Taemin a child? He's senior to Baekhyun and knows more about this industry. Who's saying Baekhyun led everything, is he a consultant?
-Just because he moved companies once, all sorts of articles are popping upㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Taemin isn't a childㅋㅋㅋ This is really absurd.
-Really, what a bunch of nonsense... He's not even a kindergartener, it's all his decision.
-Wait, why didn't MC Mong attend...;; Instead of paying 6 M KRW, just go, I don't get it.
-It's funny that Baekhyun is not even in that companyㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-No problem with moving after the contract ends, why all the fuss?
-Who do they think is the fool here? Taemin has been in the entertainment industry longer.
-What's the point of these articles? After all, if the contract is over, he can move to another agency, listen to advice from people around him, and decide on his own.
-Taemin is a senior to SHINee in both joining the company and debuting in the entertainment industry...
-It's kind of strange. If he went to a better company or started his own, the reaction wouldn't be like this.
-No, even if Taemin's contract is over, who cares where he goes with whose advice?
-I don't understand why they're making a fuss about him leaving SM. Shouldn't he leave if he wants to? What does it matter where he goes?
-Taemin is in his thirties... Not a child.
-Oh, I thought SHINee would stay in SM.
