Lee Hyun, formerly of the mixed-gender group 8eight, has renewed her contract with Big Hit Music.

Big Hit Music officially announced the renewal on the 8th.

Lee Hyun and Big Hit Music have maintained a strong bond for 19 years since signing their first exclusive contract in 2007. Big Hit Music stated, "Continuing our relationship with an artist who has been with us since the company's early days holds great significance. Based on the solid trust built over 19 years, we plan to actively support Lee Hyun's activities."

Lee Hyun said, "I have renewed my contract with Big Hit Music, my musical homeland and most reliable partner. As always, this is grounded in deep mutual trust and respect." She added, "I aim to show fans more frequent and active performances, create more opportunities for communication through music, and become a singer who never stops singing." Expressing her sincerity, she said, "I bow my head in gratitude to Big Hit Music, which has always stood by me, and to the fans who continue to send their unwavering love." She concluded with, "Please look forward to and support our new journey together with Big Hit Music."

Lee Hyun signed an exclusive contract with Big Hit Music (then Big Hit Entertainment) in 2007 and debuted as part of the group 8eight. Under the production of Bang Si-hyeok, Chairman of HYBE, 8eight grew to become one of the top mixed-gender groups representing the 2000s. Songs such as "No Heart," "I Tried to Stop Your Lips," "Love Is Coming," and "Singing After Losing Love" are still regarded as timeless classics.

In 2010, Lee Hyun formed the duo Homme with 2AM's Chang-min, gaining widespread affection with their hit song "You Just Eat Well." The following year, her solo track "The Best Among Mine" further solidified her position as a vocalist. Lee Hyun consistently expanded her artistic scope and in 2023 released the digital single "Masquerade" under her alter ego MIDNATT. This song made headlines as the first K-pop release produced in six languages: Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, and Vietnamese. Last year, she showcased her third mini-album "A(E)ND" along with its title track "At This Point, You."

Meanwhile, Big Hit Music is home to Lee Hyun, BTS, Tomorrow X Together, and CORTIS.
