On April 2, SM Entertainment confirmed the contract renewal, stating, “Kangta is a valuable artist who is part of SM’s 30-year history. We will actively support Kangta’s activities in various fields and continue to create a wonderful future together.”
Expressing his gratitude, Kangta shared his thoughts on the renewal. “I’m delighted to be continuing my relationship with SM, who has supported and watched over me since my pre-debut trainee days. I will keep striving to present great work both as an artist and as a producer,” he said.
Kangta, a singer-songwriter, first entered the music industry in 1996 as a member of the legendary group H.O.T.

In this position, he mentors younger artists and contributes to the company’s content strategy and business innovations. More recently, he has expanded his influence as the executive producer of SMASHHIT, a K-pop production label, where he collaborates with various songwriters to support the genre’s continued growth.
With this contract renewal, Kangta solidifies his nearly three-decade-long partnership with SM Entertainment, paving the way for more exciting projects.
