/Rapper Beenzino has announced the closure of his one-person agency, Dejavu Group.

/On the 1st, in a lengthy post, Beenzino stated, "It has been nearly 10 years since I started making music and rapping. Throughout this time, I ran forward without doubt, believing in my ability to succeed. Even when I had nothing, I stood before you with that single belief, and eventually, I experienced success." He continued, "That experience gave me confidence, and I believed that the direction I chose would always be right. However, life did not unfold as I had planned."

/Beenzino added, "Business, human relationships, and even my inner beliefs have all flowed in directions vastly different from what I had envisioned. My mistakes and errors have multiplied, and I did not want to admit this. The moment I admitted it, I would have to face the fact that my choices were foolish and wrong, and I feared that the label of 'failure' would follow."

/He then declared, "But now, I will face it. I have failed. I have clearly come to understand my limitations, and I have decided to let go of my obsessions. I am ending the activities of my label, Dejavu Group, which I established in 2017."

/He further stated, "This decision was by no means a light one, and all responsibility lies entirely with me. I also want to express my gratitude to the artists who believed in me and stood by me. I sincerely thank everyone who has watched over and supported Dejavu Group, and at the same time, I offer my heartfelt apologies."
