There is a suspicion that the one-person Agency of rapper NO:EL (Jang Yong-joon), who informed Self-Exclusive contract Revocation in a series of scandals, is involved with officials including Like Nobody Knows (Shin Dong-hyun).
NO:EL was reported to have recently agreed with the Ford Motor Company, known as the One-person Agency, to an Exclusive contract. This is the Agency's action that came as NO:EL committed a drunkenness disobedience and assault on a police officer. In fact, there is criticism that it is self-Exclusive contract Revocation.
The Ford Motor Company was promoted as a one-person Agency for NO:EL at the time of its establishment. The Ford Motor Company announced its establishment on April 16, and the actual establishment of the company took place on February 8.
“In the case of NO:EL, it seems that it is not a one-person Agency that it established independently,” said a music industry official. “The company may also be closed or taken over,” he said.
The Ford Motor Company also announced the launch of NO:EL’s new album, along with news of its launch. There was also a strong criticism that NO:EL, which was on probation at the time, was engaged in entertainment activities.
A, who is a senior executive at the Ford Motor Company, is also a director of Million Markets, where Like Nobody Knows belongs. Mr. A is a non-registered director of Million Market and is still working on Million Market.
Million Market was founded in September 2012 by Like Nobody Knows and composer team side-by-side Park Jang-geun, and was acquired by SM Entertainment in August 2018. His singers include Shin Yong-jae and Giselle, starting with Like Nobody Knows. Like Nobody Knows resigned as director at the time of its acquisition by SM Entertainment while serving as an in-house director at Million Markets.
At the time of the establishment of the Ford Motor Company, there have been constant suspicions from some hip-hop fans that NO:EL is actually related to SM Entertainment, with Million Market on the label under SM Entertainment.
“In the case of NO:EL, there is a sensitive part of public opinion, so it seems that the Agency was operated in the form of supporting after establishing a one-person Agency rather than a direct Exclusive contract,” said another music industry official who asked not to be named.
NO:EL's criminal aftermath has led to a statement of the removal of the NO:EL hip-hop scene and a petition from the Blue House, which calls for the deprivation of his father,
Jang Jae-won resigned as general manager of Yoon Seok-yeol camp on the 28th. On the same day, the rich people turned to their own path as NO:EL's Exclusive contract 'Self Exclusive contract Revocation' continued.
NO:EL was driving unlicensed in Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul at 10:30 pm on the 18th. Police who were called to the scene demanded a breathalyzer test and identification for suspicion of NO:EL's drinking, but NO:EL refused and is accused of assaulting a police officer. Police will summon NO:EL as a suspect in the near future and conduct an investigation.
“Mr. A left the company in July and is promoting the Million Market on a moral level,” said Millian Market. “Mr. A, as well as NO:EL, are not related to the Million Market,” he said.
