On February 25, reports mentioned, "Se7en had enlisted in the army without having his contract renewed with YG Entertainment so there were questions as to whether or not they'll be continuing their ties now that he has been discharged. However, both parties decided that they will not be renewing the contract."
Although Se7en's contract with them had expired, YG Entertainment showed their support by sending a car to bring him back when he was discharged from the military back in December. This led to speculations that he could perhaps be signing on with the agency again, but it seems that was not the case. One source commented, "Since Se7en currently does not have an agency, it seems YG was looking after him. Since he is no longer an artist under the agency, they probably won't be able to help him directly, but it seems they'll try to help him behind the scenes."
According to various articles YG and Se7en had shown affection towards each other throughout the Lunar New Year, but it has been agreed that renewing the contract would not be in the best interest for either party. Se7en didn't seem to want to put pressure on the agency, and the agency also wanted Se7en to be given more chances at making his comeback sooner, which they could not guarantee with so many artists' comebacks or debuts already lined up this year.
Se7en's acquaintance told the media, "Se7en has been traveling and getting plenty of rest. Because he had been through a lot, it seems he still needs some time for himself. It seems he'll look into finding an agency after that."
