(Keyeast)

Korean actress Hong Soo-hyun has extended her contract with her agency Keyeast, to which she belonged since 2007.

Debuting in 2006 as a model, the 34-year-old actress’s previous contract with Keyeast was to expire in late January.

Keyeast’s head Yang Geun-hwan welcomed her decision.

“Keyeast and Hong have shown faith and confidence in each other for the last decade,” Yang said. “I promise I will respect (her career) and offer best support possible.”

This comes in sync with Keyeast’s move to extend the contracts with its talents. In 2015, Keyeast reached extension deals with model-actor Park Seo-joon and budding actor Lee Hyun-woo.

Hong acts a young lady Se-ryung in an MBC TV drama series, aired on Saturdays and Sundays at 8:45 p.m.

Keyeast is gaining a foothold in Korea as the leading acting agency in Korea, which boasts a lineup of Bae Yong-joon, the first generation hallyu star actor who starred in “Winter Sonata”; Han Ye-seul from “Madame Antoine”; Kim Soo-hyun, who starred in “My Love From the Star”; Goo Ha-ra, former girl band Kara’s member, and 35 more actors and actresses.
