The actor and actress agency move is basically a lesser version of the off-season sign and trade racket of the NBA, of which is always so juicy it sizzles up the doldrums of summer to follow along. For K-stars, the agency swaps happen all year round usually when their contract is about to expire, and fans always think its the right move to change agencies but hard to predict whether the next one chosen is a good fit. Kim Ji Won parted ways with her prior agency SALT Entertainment earlier this summer after signing there in 2020. Since SALT got her the most recent critically beloved drama My Liberation Notes one could say it did right by her. But she’s moving on and K-ent is reporting that she’s in talks to join HIStory D&C, which reps Song Joong Ki her former costar from Arthdal Chronicles. It’s a new-ish agency Song Joong Ki founded with a production agency director who worked on Nice Guy with him. Song Joong Ki has been accumulating prior costars to his agency with former Vincenzo supporting actors Yang Kyung Won and Lim Chul Soo.

Didn't Lee Jong Suk also join Song Joong Ki agency?
SJK slowly growing his agency.
Lee Jong Suk is in there too. It would be a reunion of Kim Ji Won with both SJK and LJS.
I thought KJW got MLD because she knew the director from a previous work, not because SALT did anything for her.
The director of Kim Suk Yoon of MLN is also the director of the movie "Detective K: Secret of the Living Dead".
It's the reason that Kim Ji Won and Lee Min Ki got casted in MLN.
Salt Entertainment did nothing for her career. She was in her career peak and they barely promote her. Their "goodbye letter" sound "salty" too. They said that they do not extend her contract and wish her the best while she is the one ending the contract with them without considering of extension.
I wish she would choose a big agencies that very active in supporting their artists like BH entertainment or Artist Company.
History D&C is growing quite fast and it seem suit her introvert persona. Good luck Jiwonie!
Glad to see her being the same in the company with her previous co-stars.
Looking forward to see Jong Suk- Ji Won reunite in a drama/movie. It has been ages since High Kick.
Kim Ji Won a great favourite for me- Iwill always watch the dramas that she stars in!
Probably my favourite was Lovestruck in the City!!
