Kangta will continue to be with SM Entertainment for 10 more years

Singer and ex-H.O.T member Kangta announced that he will continue to work as an artist under a contract with SM Entertainment for 10 more years.

On the 6th, Kangta was present at the event titled “Announcement for the Establishment of Improved Entertainment Contracts.” At this event he said, “It’s been 15 years since I’ve debuted with H.O.T. I never left my company in those 15 years and I had four contracts. I will continue being with this company for 10 or more years.”

He continued, “It’s rare for someone to keep a contract with one company for 15 years so I always get questions regarding why I renew my contract. The answer and reason is that I feel the work I do with my company is fair.”

He added, “Since I was in H.O.T, I had a huge interest in overseas promotions. SM had success in China and more Asian countries. They also have an access to the Japanese market so it’s a company I need. SM has fair decisions so I’m with them.”

I guess Kangta is really for SM. It’s so confusing because quite a few artists are wanting to leave SM but some want to stay for another decade.
