Comedian Moon Se-yoon is expected to leave FNC Entertainment, where he has been for 11 years, and move to SM C&C.

According to a StarNews report on the 3rd, Moon Se-yoon is positively discussing a exclusive contract with SM C&C. His exclusive contract with FNC Entertainment is set to expire this month, and he recently held a meeting with SM C&C while searching for a new agency and exchanged detailed discussions. SM C&C also stated, "Nothing is confirmed yet, but it is true that we are positively discussing it."

Moon Se-yoon is preparing to part ways with FNC Entertainment, with whom he has been together for about 11 years since May 2015. FNC Entertainment announced its withdrawal from the variety and broadcaster management business to expand profitability, marking the end of its partnership with Moon Se-yoon.

In contrast, SM C&C has been accelerating its efforts to recruit broadcasters since last year. The agency has strengthened its lineup by signing exclusive contracts with potential stars such as Jang Do-yeon, Jang Sung-kyu, Hwang Jae-gyun, and Shin-giru, and is moving to expand its variety-focused management business. Popular broadcasters including Kang Ho-dong, Jeon Hyun-moo, Seo Jang-hoon, and Hwang Je-seong are also under contract.

Coincidentally, Kim Jun-hyeon, who has worked closely with Moon Se-yoon on Comedy TV's "THE Delicious Guys," recently left SM C&C. After his exclusive contract expired last month, he chose to pursue an independent path without renewing the contract. Recently, he was also involved in a controversy over "disregarding fans." His behavior of passing by fans without much reaction on his way to work on a broadcast was spread online, putting him under scrutiny. Later, he was captured smiling and greeting a broadcast official he encountered, further fueling the controversy. Kim Jun-hyeon parted ways with SM C&C without issuing a separate explanation. In the industry, if Moon Se-yoon's joining SM C&C is finalized, he is seen as the right person to fill Kim Jun-hyeon's void.

Meanwhile, Moon Se-yoon, who debuted as the 6th generation SBS comedian in 2003, gained prominence through SBS's comedy program "X-Factor." He later moved his stage to tvN's "Comedy Big League" and continued his activities, delivering laughs with his chubby character and vocal impressions.

Currently, he is active in numerous variety programs, including Comedy TV's "THE Delicious Guys," KBS 2TV's "2 Days & 1 Night," and tvN's "Amazing Saturday." In particular, he secured his position as a top-tier entertainer by winning the Grand Prize at the "2021 KBS Entertainment Awards" for the first time in his career. Additionally, on the 2nd, he served as the host alongside broadcaster Boom at the wedding of Shin Ji, a member of the group Coyote, and singer Moon Won.
