SEOUL, Jan. 10 (Yonhap) – Korean actress Youn Yuh-jung signs an exclusive contract with the American agency, CAA (Creative Artists Agency).

 

"Youn Yuh-jung signed a contract with the U.S. CAA," a source from Youn Yuh-jung said on Tuesday.

 

Deadline, a U.S. entertainment news media, reported Monday that Youn Yuh-jung, who in 2021 became the first Korean actress to win an Academy Award, will be represented by CAA. 

 

CAA is a major Hollywood agency that houses Hollywood star actors and directors such as Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, Zendaya, and Reese Witherspoon. Among the Korean actors, Lee Jung-jae, Gang Dong-won, and Jung Ho-yeon have signed contracts with CAA.

 

Youn has ended her contract with South Korean agency Hook Entertainment last month. Hook Entertainment has been in conflict with singer Lee Seung-gi since late last year over the settlement of music revenue.
