Actor Yoo Ah-in (39), whose contract with UAA after 12 years has expired, is now the subject of rumors about a potential move to Galaxy Corporation.

On the 30th, UAA told StarNews, "Yoo Ah-in's exclusive contract expired a long time ago. We have decided not to renew it."

Following reports that Yoo Ah-in is in discussions to join Galaxy Corporation, the company has not yet issued any official statement on the matter.

Galaxy Corporation currently represents singers G-Dragon and Taemin, actor Kim Jong-kook, and actor Song Kang-ho.

Meanwhile, Yoo Ah-in was indicted for allegedly habitually administering medical propofol and other substances 181 times between 2020 and March 2022 under the guise of cosmetic procedures using sleep anesthesia at hospitals in Seoul.

Additionally, from May 2021 to August 2023, Yoo Ah-in was accused of illegally obtaining and purchasing over 1,100 tablets of two types of sleeping pills under another person's name on 44 occasions. In January 2024, he also faced charges of smoking marijuana in the United States with Choi and others, and instigating others to smoke.

Yoo Ah-in was sentenced to one year in prison and detained in court during the first trial in September 2024. In February, the second trial reduced his sentence to one year in prison with a two-year probation, leading to his release. The Supreme Court has since upheld the original verdict.

Later, news emerged in December last year that Yoo Ah-in would make his comeback after three years with the film 'Vampire' directed by Jang Jae-hyun, but at the time, his agency stated, "Nothing has been decided." Director Jang Jae-hyun has also denied reports of Yoo Ah-in's involvement.
