Esom is being talked about joining Artist Companies. She starred in "Warriors of the Dawn" with Lee Jung-jae last year and she starred in "Scarlet Innocence" with Jung Woo-sung in 2014.

Not only that, actors in their 40s with terminated contracts are also being talked about joining Artist Company. They have also been in movies with Lee Jung-jae and Jung Woo-sung.

Lee Jung-jae and Jung Woo-sung established Artist Company in May last year and currently houses Go Ara, Cha Rae-hyung, Lee Shi-ah and more artists in their 20s. This year, they are planning on expanding their profile with more actors in their 40s and 50s. They are not only aiming for leading actors but supporting actors as well. This way, they could make up a whole movie with their own cast.

The basis for their targets is 'acquaintance'. They are reaching out to actors with their bond of sympathy. Actors spend a lot of time on set so they talk a lot about many things, making them seem closer and friendly.

However, some worry about famous stars looking for more stars. They say it's easy to overlook the terms and conditions of the contract this way. A management claims there have been a case where an actor with time left on his contract was asked to join another company and this matter had to be checked with the Korean Management Committee.
