Will actor Yoo Ah-in transfer to G-Dragon's agency, Galaxy Corporation, after receiving a transfer fee of several billion won?

On the 30th, TV Daily reported that "Galaxy Corporation has confirmed to have proposed an exclusive contract fee worth at least 5 billion won to actor Yoo Ah-in."

According to the report, Galaxy Corporation proposed a contract to Yoo Ah-in in the form of cash and stock option rights. Taemin of the group SHINee, who recently transferred to Galaxy Corporation, also received a contract fee of 7 billion won, including stock options, and Yoo Ah-in is reportedly considering a similar contract proposal.

In response, StarNews contacted Galaxy Corporation multiple times, but the agency's representatives remained silent.

The rumors of Yoo Ah-in's transfer stem from the expiration of his exclusive contract with UAA (United Artist Agency), where he had been affiliated for 12 years. On this day, UAA told StarNews, "Yoo Ah-in's exclusive contract expired long ago. We have decided not to renew it."

Galaxy Corporation represents BIGBANG's G-Dragon, Taemin, Kim Jong-kook, and actor Song Kang-ho.

Meanwhile, Yoo Ah-in was brought to trial on charges of habitually administering four types of medical narcotics, including propofol, midazolam, ketamine, and remazolam, under the guise of cosmetic procedures with sedation anesthesia at hospitals in Seoul from September 2020 to March 2022, totaling 181 instances.

In addition, he was charged with illegally prescribing and purchasing 1,100 tablets of two types of sleeping pills under another person's name on 44 occasions from May 2021 to August 2023, and with smoking marijuana in the United States in January 2024 alongside Mr. Choi and others, and inciting others to smoke. In September 2024, he was sentenced to one year in prison and placed under judicial detention in the first instance. Later, the sentence was reduced to one year in prison with a two-year probation period, and he was released. The Supreme Court upheld the original ruling.
