Broadcaster Park Ji-yoon has once again entered a period of change as she has terminated her exclusive contract with JDB Entertainment. With the divorce proceedings from her ex-husband, broadcaster Choi Dong-seok, ongoing alongside her breakup with the agency, attention is focused on Park Ji-yoon's new steps.

According to multiple media reports on the 2nd, Park Ji-yoon recently requested the termination of her contract with JDB Entertainment, which is said to be related to the departure of her manager, who had been with her for a long time.

Park Ji-yoon signed an exclusive contract with JDB Entertainment in May 2023, joining the agency through her manager, who had been with her for nearly 10 years. At that time, JDB noted, "We expect the active participation of Park Ji-yoon, a professional MC with various charms," promising full support.

JDB Entertainment is an agency known for its lineup of comedians such as Kim Jun-ho, Kim Ji-min, Yoo Min-sang, and Hong Yun-hwa, and Park Ji-yoon's joining was regarded as a way to strengthen its entertainment activities. However, following her manager's departure, it was reported that Park Ji-yoon also decided to terminate her contract.

Currently, about one year remains in the contract period between Park Ji-yoon and the agency, and both parties agreed to terminate the contract with no penalty fees, but it is known that some of the remaining contract amount will be refunded.

Park Ji-yoon is currently in divorce proceedings with her ex-husband, KBS announcer Choi Dong-seok. The couple, who married in 2009, has one son and one daughter but has been facing legal disputes since unexpected news of their separation in October last year. The divorce mediation has failed, and they are currently undergoing a divorce lawsuit and a lawsuit for damages against a third party. Park Ji-yoon has custody and parental rights of the children, and Choi Dong-seok is reportedly meeting the children through visitation.

Alongside this, Park Ji-yoon has also parted ways with the agency she has been with for about two years, beginning to reorganize her official activity base. However, he is expected to continue her broadcasting activities steadily, as she has hinted at her participation in the Netflix variety show "Crime Scene Zero" in the realm of mystery entertainment, separate from her personal changes.

Attention is drawn to what steps Park Ji-yoon will take next as she stands at a new starting point.
