On 13 December, Cube Entertainment made an official announcement that Jang Hyun Seung has renewed an exclusive contract with the agency and will continue as a solo artist.
Jang Hyunseung has been receiving attention and praise for his participation in MNET dance survival program 'Hit The Stage' following his departure from idol group, BEAST, in April 2016. He had also previously gained popularity for his hot collaboration with Hyuna in 'Troublemaker'.
Meanwhile, the current five members of BEAST are still in discussion regarding a contract renewal with no confirmed decision made as of yet. As their 7-year contracts ended in October 2016, there has been talks of the members parting ways with Cube Entertainment to start their own independent label.
