Yoo Jun-won, who has been in conflict with Funky Studio, the production company of MBC's 'Boys Fantasy - After School Excitement Season 2' (hereinafter 'Boys Fantasy'), shared his feelings about making a fresh start with a new agency.

Recently, Yoo Jun-won began his message on Instagram, saying, "It has taken too long to greet you like this."

He stated, "For the past three years, there were many days when I wanted to speak but could not. All I could do was endure, and the time I had to bear it alone was much longer than I expected."

He continued, "Nevertheless, I did not stop. I met members who will run alongside me with a company that will genuinely support me. This is my second challenge. Thinking of those who have always believed in me, I am preparing so as not to be ashamed."

He added, "Regarding parts that have been reported differently from the facts, I will respond calmly through legal means."

Yoo Jun-won was scheduled to debut as a member of the group Fantasy Boys after finishing first in MBC's 'Boys Fantasy,' which ended in 2023. However, just before the debut, Funky Studio, which was in charge of management, claimed that Yoo Jun-won had left the team without authorization, leading to a legal conflict. Subsequently, Fantasy Boys debuted with 11 members, excluding Yoo Jun-won.

However, on the 4th, Conty announced, "We signed an exclusive contract with Yoo Jun-won in March. Yoo Jun-won is scheduled to debut as a member of our boy group, which is currently in preparation for launch."

In response, Funky Studio stated, "We recommended a smooth agreement, but Yoo Jun-won has maintained his previous position. We deeply regret that, with the final judgment approaching in July, he unilaterally disclosed the contract with a new agency and his activity plans, and distributed related materials."

Hello, this is Yoo Jun-won.

It has taken too long to greet you like this.

For the past three years, there were many days when I wanted to speak but could not.

All I could do was endure.

The time I had to bear it alone was much longer than I expected.

Nevertheless, I did not stop.

And now, I have met a company that will genuinely support me and members who will run alongside me.

Though cautious, I am sharing this news with a trembling heart.

This is my second challenge.

Thinking of those who have always believed in me, I am preparing so as not to be ashamed.

Regarding parts that have been reported differently from the facts, I will respond calmly through legal means.

Thank you.

Yoo Jun-won
