Key East and Kim Hyun Joong; Will there be an Official Break? Will Fans be left Wondering? Or is Their Silence an Expression of Cultural Expectation?
As we have watched the last four months unfold into our worst nightmares for Our Only One Kim Hyun Joong, we are faced with the glaring fact that his Agency, Key East, seems to have no intention of continuing to support their Shining Star and Biggest Asset. Stone Wall Silence is the only consistent response from the agency that was basically launched by adding Kim Hyun Joong to their roster in 2010. At that time, the fledgling company only had two big names on their payroll: Sunbae and Hyung Bae Yong Joon and doensang Kim Hyun Joong. BYJ and KHJ were seen as being very close in the beginning of their business relationship born out of a friendship developed during Kim Hyun Joong’s SS501 days when he spent a good deal of his time in Japan. He met and befriended BYJ just before his contract with DSP came to an end. He was in the right place at the right time for Key East, and they owe their success to him, in my opinion. There were no other big names on their roster until just last year, and Kim Hyun Joong is undoubtedly their top grossing Artist. As we have watched this scandal play out and witnessed the after effects, Kim Hyun Joong’s Brand Power has seemed to be of of little consequence to Key East at all now that he has been given a Scarlet Letter by a JEALOUS EX. In the public eye, it seems they have left him tied to the stake to be burned alive like an accused Salem Witch in the famous story The Crucible.
