Star Actor Ji chang Wook entering in the Free Artis Market
According to the coverage of World Biz & Sports World on the 7th, Ji Chang-wook will go his own way as soon as his exclusive contract with Glorious Entertainment ends. An insider said, "Both sides have decided on a beautiful breakup. We agreed to support each other's future without signing the new contract."
In order to transfer to an agency, several conditions must be met. In the case of Ji Chang-wook, it seems that he will carefully consider whether the company he is transferring to has reliable acquaintances and whether his eyes for viewing the work are trustworthy.
Ji Chang-wook rose to the ranks of Hallyu stars with his acting skills recognized for his dramas ‘Warrior Baek Dong-soo’ and ‘Empress Ki’. Since then, he has shown his potential in 'Healer', 'Suspicious Partner', and 'THE K2'.
Now is the time to leap forward again. After being discharged from the military in 2019, Ji Chang-wook continued his acting skills through steady work activities such as the dramas 'Melting Me', 'Convenience Store Morning Star', 'Love in the City', 'Annara Sumanara', and 'If You Talk About Love'. However, his ratings and ripple effect are disappointing compared to before his enlistment.
Nevertheless, his popularity in Asia remains strong. Ji Chang-wook is an actor who can hold fan meetings in Asia. Last year, he met 15,000 fans in Seoul, Manila in the Philippines, Jakarta in Indonesia, and Osaka in Japan. He plans to communicate directly with fans in the first half of the year through a fan meeting tour.
Thanks to the solid Asian fandom, "Convenience Store Morning Star" was simultaneously aired all over the world, including China and Japan. The Netflix original series ‘Annara Sumanara’ rose to No. 4 globally within two days of its release and topped the list in 13 countries. Therefore, the upcoming free agency is expected to be an inflection point to determine whether or not he is an emergency as a Hallyu star.
Meanwhile, Ji Chang-wook's next film, Worst Evil, is set to be released worldwide through Disney+ in the second half of 2023.
