Lee Junho Establishes His Own Agency + Poses For New Official Photos

Lee Junho is embarking on a new journey with his newly established agency O3 Collective! On August 18, Lee Junho’s representatives announced that he founded the entertainment company O3 Collective. The agency explained that its name reflects its philosophy: “It is a creative group where three elements—an artist’s identity (One), originality in content (Original), and management’s system (Orbit)—work together to form a single creative orbit.” The agency added, “We envision a team-based brand system where artists, content, and staff all share the spotlight. We aim to build a business lab centered on intellectual property that allows for unlimited expansion, going beyond a management company, and work together to design and achieve growth and progress for everyone.” Yang Hye Young, who previously led innovative projects at CJ ENM’s Brand Strategy Office and Performance Business Division, co-founded O3 Collective with Lee Junho. Lee Junho, who debuted in 2008 as a member of the group 2PM, has built a wide-ranging career as both a group and solo artist. Beginning with the 2013 film “Cold Eyes,” he has proven his strong acting skills and global appeal through numerous projects, including the dramas “Good Manager,” “The Red Sleeve,” and “King the Land.” In the second half of this year, he will star in the tvN drama “Typhoon Company” (literal title) as well as the Netflix original series “Cashero.” Check out Lee Junho’s stunning new photos below! Wishing Lee Junho all the best on his new beginning!

KATSEYE's Manon To Sit Out Summer Sonic Tokyo Due To Health

KATSEYE’s Manon will be sitting out the group’s performance at Summer Sonic Tokyo today. On August 17 KST, KATSEYE’s agency announced that Manon would not be able to perform at Summer Sonic Tokyo later that day due to her health. The previous day, the group cancelled their performance at Summer Sonic Osaka on August 16 “due to two members feeling unwell.” At the time, KATSEYE’s agency stated that both members in question had fully recovered and would be able to perform at Summer Sonic Tokyo the following day. However, the agency has now shared that because Manon’s “condition has declined upon landing in Tokyo,” “she has since made the decision after consulting her doctor to rest in order to recover as soon as possible.” The full announcement is as follows: This is your KATSEYE community manager. We are very sorry to share that Manon will not be able to perform at Summer Sonic Tokyo on Sunday, August 17, as her condition has declined upon landing in Tokyo. She has since made the decision after consulting her doctor to rest in order to recover as soon as possible. We know many EYEKONS were looking forward to seeing all KATSEYE members on stage at Summer Sonic Tokyo and we sincerely apologize for the unforeseen change. Your health and safety, as well as that of KATSEYE members, is always our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding. We wish Manon a speedy recovery. Thank you for your continued support for KATSEYE. Get well soon, Manon!
