Galaxy Corporation, which is also an agency of G-Dragon, has reportedly had exclusive meetings with several actors, including Kim Nam-gil, Ji Chang-wook, Kim Seolhyun and Na In-woo. Some of them are working on the terms of the contract, but some actors are said to have almost made up their minds.

"After Song Kang-ho's exclusive contract was announced, negotiations with other actors are accelerating", an official from the entertainment industry said on August 21st. "The public will soon learn about the recruitment of No. 2 and No. 3 actors". Regarding the question, "Is it an expansion of appearance for listing on the stock market?" he added, "Of course, sales are important, but it is more appropriate to have a stable production environment".

Galaxy has mainly produced entertainment shows such as "Teaming Up 2", "Mr. Trot 2", "Steel Troops W", and "Physical: 100" through its affiliated studios and subsidiaries, and will recruit leading actors to produce various content such as dramas, movies, and short-forms.

Another official said, "We understand that the preparation for the listing has been completed to some extent with the existing IP, G-Dragon's concerts, and the sale of goods", adding, "We are in the stage of strengthening our position so that the company will not be swayed by whether to renew the contract with G-Dragon in the future". Regarding the recruitment of Jun Ji-hyun, who left the IEUM# and established the agency Peach Company in July, he said, "It is difficult to confirm". Instead, he said, "I understand that an exclusive down payment of more than 500 million won has been set for Song Kang-ho".

Meanwhile, CEO Choi Yong-ho, who is the head coach of Galaxy Corporation and owns a 22% stake, is known to have studied in the U.S. and was a former publisher of Hallyu magazines. CEO Choi Yong-ho is close to G-Dragon, but other executives and employees are known to have to go through two stages: a dedicated manager from YG and a bodyguard to contact G-Dragon.
