YG Entertainment remains vague on the renewal status of Se7en's contract

Se7en
In light of the recent controversy surrounding celebrity soldiers, one of which includes Se7en, more attention is being shed on the status of the singer's contract with YG Entertainment.


As some fans may already know, Se7en's contract was actually said to have expired in April of 2013, a month or so after his enlistment. A music industry insider also confirmed, "Se7en has already finished his contract with YG Entertainment. He naturally ended his contract after the expiration of the contract term."


However, the singer is still looked upon as being part of the agency in the technical sense as his profile and artist listing is still up on the agency's homepage as well as in the singer's public profile.

With his enlistment, his contract renewal was left up in the air, most likely until he finished his service. However with the current situation, questions are being raised about if the contract will be renewed at all after this whole ordeal.


When contacted regarding the matter, most of the YG reps kept a firm silence on the issue, commenting, "We cannot say anything regarding this matter." However, there was one rep that spoke a bit more in length, saying, "Our contract with Se7en expired before his enlistment. Normally contracts end with enlistment, but we had delayed it until after he went into the military in Se7en's case. Realistically, Se7en is not part of YG since his enlistment." On the issue of renewing the contract, the same rep, like the others, kept things vague as he stated, "We'll have to see when it gets around to the time of his discharge."
