I would think that most companies wouldn't want to touch the guy with a ten-foot pole considering all the scandals he's had abusing women. We've seen how it can end careers for Korean artists (and rightfully so in most cases), but if this is the route he's going, I think it's a pretty cheap shot. The guy's career isn't going much of anywhere in the west given not only the nature of what he's done, but the number of times he's done it. I'm not saying people can't change, but I'm truly surprised that any company would want their artists to collaborate with him given the stigma around him for being an abusive person. I get that people might argue with his name comes notoriety, but there has to be a line somewhere. I don't wish bad things for him, but he's definitely the wrong move for anyone in the K-pop industry trying to do a Western collab. I loved his music back in the day, so it was a real shame for me when his true colors came out, so I could no longer support him as an artist. Oh well, feel free to disagree with me, but I just think this reeks of desperation and him trying to ride the K-wave after some artists finding success in the west.
