Singer Lee Solomon Parts Ways with Agency Major9 as Exclusive Contract Comes to an End cover

Singer Lee Solomon has parted ways with his agency Major9. The company announced on Monday, November 9, that its exclusive contract with the singer has ended, and thanked him for the music and performances he shared during their time together.

In a statement reported by MHN Sports on Monday evening, Major9 said, “We would like to inform you that the exclusive contract with artist Lee Solomon has ended.” The agency said it will support the musical path Lee takes next and thanked fans “who have loved Lee Solomon for a long time,” asking for “continued interest and warm encouragement for Lee Solomon, who is beginning a new journey.” The announcement did not say when exactly the contract ended, whether it expired or was ended early, or where Lee will go next, and it carried no direct comment from the singer himself.

Lee first made his name in 2021, finishing third on “Tomorrow’s National Singer” (내일은 국민가수), the TV CHOSUN audition program that turned its finalists into nationally known acts. The result introduced him to a wide audience and set up the solo career that followed.

Since then, he has released solo albums, taken part in drama soundtracks and toured the country with concerts, building a steady presence as a live performer rather than relying on a single breakout moment. Those concerts, along with his soundtrack work, kept his name in front of audiences between album releases. His work across albums, soundtracks and the concert stage kept him active through the years with Major9.

The contract announcement brings his run with the agency to a close without spelling out what comes next. With no new agency named and no schedule announced, the immediate question is where Lee will land, and whether his next step keeps the same mix of recordings, soundtracks and touring that defined his time at Major9.
