MBC's 'Birth of a Great Star 2' contestant, Jang Lee Jung has recently signed a contract under LOEN Entertainment, the same agency as IU and co-ed group Sunny Hill.

On February 29, a representative of Loen Entertainment held a brief phone call with StarN and shared, "He has signed a contract with us and has begun to receive training." They continued, "After seeing him on broadcast, we saw future potential in him," explaining the reason for the contract."

In addition, some netizens have already begun comparing him with IU and immediately began to assume that he'll be known as the "male IU". In response, Loen added, "He's currently in the beginning stages of training so nothing has been confirmed yet."
