Now I see why Suzy not re-signing her contract was a mutual agreement. JYP probably had these plans ready for a while now.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but JYP is the single entertainment agency having the so called separate divisions for each group. The amount of manpower and resources needed for each division is huge, so calling off the actors division to focus on the music groups they have, fully makes sense. Also managing overseas activities like Japan's NIZI group upcoming debut! And ITZY's comeback preparations taking alot of work as well! It's logical to stretch only in the areas of expertise. Honestly JYP does great as a music only agency! Just my 2 cents!
