The prominent entertainment agency Eum Hashtag announced on October 24, 2025, that the exclusive contracts with actresses Seolhyun and Jung SoMin have officially ended. This confirmation marks a significant shift for the agency, following a series of high-profile departures this year. The news highlights a dynamic period of agency transfers and contract expirations among top Korean actors.
A Wave of High-Profile Departures
The departures of Seolhyun and Jung SoMin are the latest in a string of exits from Eum Hashtag. Earlier this year, the agency saw the departure of two of its biggest stars, Jun JiHyun and Kim SoHyun. Both actresses have since signed with Peach Company, a newly established agency, signaling a major realignment in the management landscape. This series of events has drawn considerable attention to Eum Hashtag, which was founded in 2022 by CEO Kim Sunjung, a long-time industry veteran.
The End of a Foundational Partnership
The move by Jun JiHyun was particularly noteworthy, marking the end of a long-standing partnership with CEO Kim Sunjung. Their professional relationship began in 2010 at the agency Culture Depot. Jun JiHyun later joined Kim Sunjung when she established Eum Hashtag in 2022, making her departure a significant turning point for the entertainment agency. Her agency transfer to Peach Company alongside Kim SoHyun suggests a strategic consolidation of talent under new leadership.
Eum Hashtag’s Future and Official Statement
In response to the recent contract expiration news, Eum Hashtag issued a formal statement. A representative for the agency stated, “We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Seolhyun and Jung SoMin, who have been with us. We will always cherish the time we spent together and will continue to sincerely support their future endeavors as they embark on new paths.” Despite the recent changes, Eum Hashtag continues to manage a roster of talented artists, including actresses Seo JiHye and Ahn SoYeon, who remain with the company. The focus now shifts to how the agency will rebuild and navigate the future.
What’s Next for the Korean Actors?
With their contracts concluded, Seolhyun and Jung SoMin are now free agents, and the industry is keenly watching their next moves. Their status as sought-after Korean actors means they are likely weighing multiple offers from various management companies. The trend of agency transfers among top-tier talent continues to be a major topic of discussion, as it reshapes the competitive dynamics within the Korean entertainment world. The decisions made by these actresses in the coming weeks will undoubtedly have a ripple effect across the industry.
