Former VEGA member Kang Seyoon reportedly signed under Home of Many Entertainment.
Former VEGA member Kang Seyoon has reportedly signed under Home of Many Entertainment. Kang Seyoon, who is better known by the stage name Yoon, is reported to have signed a contract under the label on October 7th of 2018. Yoon was previously signed under J-Sun Entertainment and was part of the then six member boy group VEGA, which debuted in 2013 and has reached high popularity in both South Korea as well as globally. He left the company and group in February of 2017 following a short hiatus due to health reasons. It was stated at the time by his former company that he was leaving J-Sun Entertainment in order to focus on his health and well-being.
It was reported that following his departure from J-Sun Entertainment, Yoon sought out work at ‘Vanille & Chocolate’s Library Cafe’ in Myeongdong, owned by Sulli of SM Entertainment, and former f(x) member. The two were well known same age friends since Yoon’s 2013 debut. Later, Yoon reportedly began working at the ‘Two Unnies Guesthouse’ in the same area of Seoul. The guesthouse, which was bought and re-opened in 2017, is supposedly owned by the wife and sister-in-law of Yoon’s older brother. Following his departure from J-Sun Entertainment, it appears Yoon has not sought out any work that would bring him publicity until now.
Yoon notably garnered attention back in January of 2018 with a dating scandal alongside former J-Sun label-mate, Ahn Hyunjin. The soloist and former idol were spotted on what appeared to be a date at Seokchon lake, though J-Sun Entertainment formerly issued a statement soon after denying the dating rumors and stating that the two were just friends.
J-Sun Entertainment:
“...Seyoon and Hyunjin both trained with the company for many years and have known each other since they were very young. They always maintained a strong junior-senior relationship after Hyunjin’s debut in 2010 and Seyoon’s in 2013. Though Seyoon already parted ways with the company, the two naturally wanted to keep in touch because of their strong bond. We ask that you please understand the rumors about Hyunjin and Seyoon dating are not true.”
Fans of VEGA and Hyunjin were shocked to see the two former label-mates together. After officially leaving the company, Yoon had not been spotted with any other J-Sun artists until photos of the rumored date began surfacing. He has not been spotted with any other J-Sun artists since then. Many Lyras (the name of VEGA’s fanclub) were upset at the news of the dating rumor considering the dates of the scandal coincided with VEGA’s debut anniversary. Following his departure from J-Sun, some netizens looked to Yoon as a traitor for leaving his group and members behind. It is not known whether Yoon has any contact with his former group members.
At this time, neither Yoon nor his new label, Home of Many Entertainment, have issued any information about his future endeavors.

[84739484] Our Seyoonie ㅠㅠ Our baby is back... wah... It’s something I could only have dreamed about until now... I still feel like I’m dreaming? ㅠㅠ
[32874838] Why is he coming back? Why??? After he left VEGA and his fans behind, he dares to come back? I won’t support him... He doesn’t deserve another chance..
[72659374] 헐..... Seems like Yoonie really has moved on from VEGA now... I’m curious...
[63847493] He’s untalented and ugly, so why is he bothering? He was always the worst member of VEGA. The reason he’s at Homent is because he’s not good enough for J-Sun. And he ruined his career already, so he won’t be successful. He should really stop trying.
