Former Teen Top member Bang Minsoo has ended his contract with his agency.

On the 22nd, Air Global Castle stated, "Our exclusive contract with Bang Minsoo had already ended last November," adding, "The contract termination was decided through mutual agreement."

The agency continued, "Our company is completely unrelated to Bang Minsoo's efforts to establish an idol labor union or his political activities," and added, "We ask that people refrain from unconfirmed speculation or exaggerated interpretations."

Bang Minsoo debuted in 2010 as a member of Teen Top and gained public recognition. After leaving the group, he signed an exclusive contract with Air Global Castle (formerly Modern Berry Korea) and pursued personal activities in various fields outside of the entertainment industry, including promoting the establishment of an idol labor union.

The Idol Labor Union Preparatory Committee is an organization created to protect the rights and interests of popular culture artists, including idols. It submitted its establishment report to the Seongnam branch of the Ministry of Employment and Labor in September of last year.
