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.

[72659374] 헐..... Seems like Yoonie really has moved on from VEGA now... I’m curious...

On January 9th, J-Sun Entertainment issued an official statement regarding the circulating rumors of solo artist Ahn Hyunjin, who was spotted on a date at Seokchon Lake with former label-mate and VEGA member, Kang Seyoon. The company has confirmed with Hyunjin privately and states that the two are not involved in a romantic relationship. The company’s statement is as follows.

“On January 7th, Ahn Hyunjin was seen spending time with a former label-mate at Seokchon Lake. Hyunjin has assured us that she and Seyoon are not involved with each other in any way and that the supposed date was just a misunderstanding. 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.”

The two were photographed chatting together and kissing on a bench viewing the lake Sunday night before returning to Hyunjin’s place of residence. Kang Seyoon has not made a statement regarding the claims against him.

What do you think? Are they telling the truth, or do you think they’re secretly dating?

[78654732]: What??? I thought for sure they would announce it’s the truth! They don’t look like just friends...  

[37564876]: ㅠㅠ please... I actually liked them as a couple...

[78654933]: I knew it! ᇂᇂHyunjin would never date someone like him. She already said her type was Choi Taejoon~

[37465738]: What???? If they aren’t dating, then why did they kiss? And I thought someone claimed to see them going into her apartment. I really have lost respect for them both... This is disappointing...
