Actor Jang Dong-ju has been confirmed to have been removed from the artist list on his agency's website following his retirement declaration.

As of 4 p.m. on the 15th, Jang Dong-ju's profile was no longer listed among the artists on the official website of Management W.

His profile was still posted on the website as of that morning, but after his retirement declaration, he was removed from the list of agency artists. However, interview articles related to Jang Dong-ju remain on the website.

Earlier, Jang Dong-ju drew attention by posting a message on his SNS hinting at his retirement. He wrote, "As of today, I intend to step down from my life as actor Jang Dong-ju," effectively declaring his retirement from the entertainment industry.

Jang Dong-ju's sudden behavior is not the first time. Last November, he disappeared after leaving only a black screen and the message "I am sorry" on Instagram, causing a stir as the agency scrambled to locate him. The situation was resolved when his whereabouts were confirmed within about four hours.

He later moved to Management Run in December of the same year, but terminated his contract shortly thereafter.

In January, he also publicly revealed that he had been a victim of hacking and extortion by the "Hyu Daejeon" group. At the time, Jang Dong-ju confessed via SNS that he had suffered losses of tens of billions of won due to hacking and found himself buried in debt.

Jang Dong-ju then signed an exclusive contract with Management W in February this year, announcing his comeback. However, he has once again disappeared following his retirement declaration.

Meanwhile, Jang Dong-ju made his debut in 2012 with the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream." He has since appeared in dramas such as "School 2017," "Revenge of Others," "Mr. Temporary," "I'll Be Your Night," "Trigger," and films including "Honest Candidate," "Count," and "Handsome Guys." Recently, he was active in the SBS drama "I'm Human Starting Today," which concluded in February.
