Singer-songwriter Ahn Ji Young, the face of indie sensation BOL4 (Bolbbalgan4), has officially parted ways with her longtime agency, Shofar Entertainment, marking the end of a decade-long partnership.

On March 31, Ahn took to her Instagram Story to personally announce the conclusion of her contract with Shofar Entertainment. "Today, I am sharing the news that my 10-year journey with Shofar Entertainment has come to an end," she wrote.

Reflecting on her career with the agency, Ahn expressed a sense of fulfillment and relief. "I gave my absolute best every single day, and because of that, I feel proud and free. A new beginning awaits, and while some fans may feel uneasy about this transition, I ask for your trust and support," she assured her followers with resilience.

She continued, "I am beyond excited for this new chapter with Lovelly (BOL4’s fandom). I promise to repay all your love and support with great music."

Earlier that day, Shofar Entertainment also released an official statement confirming the end of their exclusive contract with BOL4. "We announce that BOL4’s contract, which began in 2015, has officially ended as of March 2025. It has been an absolute joy working with an artist who has gifted so many people with beautiful music," the agency stated.

Originally a duo, BOL4 gained recognition through their appearance on Mnet’s 'Superstar K6' in 2014. Their unique sound, heartfelt lyrics, and exceptional songwriting abilities quickly established them as a leading indie act.

The duo officially debuted in 2016 with the mini-album Half Album 'RED ICKLE,' and their hit song 'Galaxy' became a sleeper hit, propelling them into mainstream success. They went on to release numerous chart-topping songs, including 'Some,' 'Travel,' 'Tell Me You Love Me,' 'Bom,' and 'To My Youth.'

However, in April 2020, founding member Woo Ji Yoon left the group, leaving Ahn Ji Young as the sole member of BOL4. Since then, Ahn has continued to captivate audiences with her music as a solo act under the BOL4 name.

As Ahn embarks on a new journey, fans eagerly anticipate what lies ahead for the beloved singer-songwriter.
