On Wednesday, Sublime announced that Youngjae had joined its ranks, and the agency was now sorting out plans to work with Jackson.

The news came soon after the Got7 members’ contracts with JYP Entertainment expired around the date of their seventh anniversary earlier this month. No member of the group opted to renew with the company.

Youngjae, who is focused on working primarily in the South Korean market and was unsigned after leaving JYP, joined Sublime Artist Agency for exclusive artist representation, and Sublime announced it had signed a deal for “extensive global collaboration” with Jackson’s company, Team Wang.

Hong Kong-born Jackson Wang launched Team Wang in 2017 to focus on his solo work in China and other markets outside South Korea, and Team Wang is poised to continue expanding as the artist moves into the next stage of his career.
