Youngjae of boy band GOT7 has signed an exclusive contract with a newly established agency, AndBut Company, and is set to drop his digital single “T.P.O” on July 9.

AndBut Company was founded by a former employee from JYP Entertainment.

"We are delighted to have signed an exclusive contract with Youngjae, who is poised to become a representative artist of South Korea," said AndBut Company on Monday, according to local media reports. "We plan to fully support him to maximize his talents and strengths so that he can be loved by many people. We ask for your enthusiastic support."

The company is set to collaborate on management tasks for its artists through a memorandum of understating (MOU) with A-Side Company (translated), another company established by a former manager from JYP Entertainment.
