Ryu Seung-bum Ends Exclusive Contract With YOne Entertainment After 3 Years… Steps Into Independent Career After Filming ‘Dealer’

Actor Ryu Seung-bum is leaving his agency.

Official announcement of end of exclusive contract with YOne Entertainment In an official statement on the 22nd, his agency, YOne Entertainment, said, “After sufficient discussion, we decided to end the exclusive contract between our company and actor Ryu Seung-bum.” It added, “We would like to convey our gratitude to actor Ryu Seung-bum for having worked with YOne Entertainment, and our company will sincerely support the new steps actor Ryu Seung-bum will take moving forward.” As Ryu Seung-bum indicated his intention to pursue independent activities in step with the season when his exclusive contract expired, the two sides agreed to go their separate ways naturally after about three years, without renewing the contract.

Rise with global OTT projects and currently filming ‘Dealer’ Earlier, Ryu Seung-bum showed a strong commitment to domestic activities by signing an exclusive contract with YOne Entertainment as he prepared to return with Disney+ original series ‘Moving’ in 2023. He then continued to appear in a string of projects, including Coupang Play drama ‘Family Plan’ and Netflix film ‘Good News,’ gaining plenty of benefits from global OTT platforms and carrying out active work. He is currently in the final stretch of filming Netflix’s new series ‘Dealer.’ He also decided to wrap his involvement with his agency only up to the ‘Dealer’ wrap-up (crank-up) work scheduled for the end of May, and to say a graceful goodbye afterward.

Affection for his family and activities based in Slovakia Known for his free-spirited charm and loved for a long time, Ryu Seung-bum married a Slovakian painter in 2020, and formed a family that same year with the birth of a daughter in June. He has consistently shown a distinctive love for family, saying in a past interview, “The reason I’m acting right now is only because of my family.” He currently lives in Slovakia. Ryu Seung-bum continues his activities by living locally most of the time and traveling to South Korea only when he has filming schedules there. Interest from global fans is also gathering over his independent path after the end of this exclusive contract.
