Shinhwa member Kim Dong-wan has declared his independence.

On the 4th, Kim Dong-wan announced via his Threads account that "I have ultimately decided to proceed without an agency."

He explained, "After considering various options, I concluded that continuing activities without an agency, as I am doing now, is the direction that best suits me."

Kim Dong-wan has previously been involved in multiple controversies due to posts he uploaded on his Threads account.

He once posted content advocating for the legalization of prostitution and later faced criticism for writing a post supporting Lee Soo, a member of MC The Max who had halted activities due to past prostitution-related charges.

In March, he posted a message supporting MC Dingdong, who was sued for assault after grabbing a female BJ's hair during an internet platform broadcast.

As the controversy spread, Kim Dong-wan deleted the post and clarified that "the expression did not fully consider the situation." Last month, he sparked further debate by confessing to having smoked since his teenage years.

Seemingly aware of the ongoing SNS controversies, he posted in May: "These days, I always consult with GPT before posting anything—sentence refinement, grammar checks, potential for controversy. Fortunately, we live in an AI era."

He later stated, "From now on, Instagram and Threads will be managed from the office," adding, "Take care of your health. Let's meet again happily offline someday."

However, he ultimately chose to go it alone. Now active without an agency, Kim Dong-wan continues to maintain a strong presence on social media.
