[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] Singer Lee Mu-jin has left Big Planet Made Entertainment and joined a new label established by the comprehensive entertainment company Mound Media.

The new label established by Mound Media announced on the 10th that it had signed an exclusive contract with Lee Mu-jin. As he is the first artist signed since the label’s launch, the company plans to work with Lee Mu-jin to establish a new musical direction. The label name and brand identity (BI) will be revealed at a later date.
This contract has also drawn attention as it marks Lee Mu-jin’s establishment of a new foundation for his activities following the court’s approval of a preliminary injunction. On the 24th of last month, the court granted Lee Mu-jin’s request for a preliminary injunction to suspend the effect of his exclusive contract with his former agency, Big Planet Made Entertainment. A main lawsuit is currently underway, in which he is seeking the termination of the exclusive contract and the payment of approximately 2 billion won in unpaid settlement funds.
A label representative stated, “We are very pleased to be working with Lee Mu-jin,” adding, “He is an all-around artist capable of not only delivering sincere vocals but also writing lyrics, composing, and arranging music. Given that he has resonated deeply with the public, we are even more excited about the synergy we can create together in the future.” The representative continued, “We will spare no effort in providing full support so that he can freely unfold his unique musical world.”
Lee Mu-jin, who debuted in 2018 with “A Walk,” the OST for the webtoon “Goyang Voice,” made a name for himself among the public by placing third in the 2020 JTBC show “Singer Again: The Battle of Unknown Singers.” Since then, he has established himself as a unique singer-songwriter by scoring consecutive hits with songs such as “Traffic Light,” “It’s Snowing, Isn’t It,” “Episode,” and “I Couldn’t Find a Reason Not to Propose.”
He has made his mark not only in the music industry but also in soundtracks. Through his contributions to the dramas “Hospital Playlist Season 2,” “It’s Breaking Up Now,” and “Office Match,” he has been praised for enhancing the viewers’ immersion in these works with his unique, delicate sensibility and deeply compelling vocals.
Lee Mu-jin’s outstanding live performance skills are another of his strengths. He has consistently been in high demand at various festivals and college festivals, earning the reputation for “live performances you can trust.” Additionally, he has served as the host of the web variety show “Limousine Service” for over four years, leading this premier music talk show with his relaxed hosting style and musical empathy.
