Kyung Soo-jin has officially signed an exclusive contract with Studio Uhoo, a newly launched agency that also represents actors Kim Dong-wook and Kang So-ra. The announcement was made on August 14, 2025, and confirmed by multiple Korean media outlets.
Background: YG’s Exit from Actor Management
On January 17, 2025, YG Entertainment announced it would shut down its actor management division to concentrate on its core music business. This decision led several actors, including Kyung Soo-jin, to seek new representation.
About Studio Uhoo
Studio Uhoo was founded by Yoo Eun-sook, the former CEO of Plum A&C. The new agency has signed several of her former colleagues from Plum A&C, creating a roster that already includes Kim Dong-wook, Kang So-ra, Lee Jae-won, Kim Hyun-sook, Yoon Ji-min, Kwon Hae-sung, and Choi Chan-ho.
Kyung Soo-jin’s Career
Kyung’s acting credits span a range of genres, from the historical daily drama TV Novel: Eun-hui to the sports-themed hit Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo, the crime-thriller Mouse, and the Disney+ drama Shadow Detective.

However, this is industry analysis, not a confirmed plan, and future roles will depend on casting decisions and production timelines.
