Three members of Super Junior will leave SM Entertainment while still staying with the group, according to the management firm on Friday.
Eunhyuk, Donghae and Kyuhyun decided not to renew their contract with the label, while the remaining six will re-sign, it added. The three will, however, continue their activities as part of the band.
The band debuted in 2005 with “Super Junior 05,” and put out its 11th studio album, “The Road,” last year.
Kyuhyun is said to be in talks to sign with Antenna Music, led by singer and songwriter You Heeyeol.
Meanwhile, Eunhyuk and Donghae kicked off a tour as duo Super Junior—D＆E late last month with concerts in Seoul. The tour continues later this month in Taipei, Taiwan. The two plan to establish their own agency, according to a local media report. AP/ra
