Girls' Generation member Yuri is reportedly approaching a major career decision as her long-time contract with SM Entertainment nears its end.
According to reports on July 4, Yuri's exclusive contract with SM Entertainment is set to expire next month, marking the end of a 25-year relationship that began during her trainee days.
As she prepares to become a free agent, Yuri is reportedly considering multiple options, including renewing her contract with SM Entertainment or signing with a new agency.
Because she is active as both a singer and actress, Yuri is said to be reviewing opportunities with companies that specialize in actor management while carefully planning her next career move.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding her agency future, Yuri is expected to continue activities with the Girls' Generation unit Hyorisu, which includes fellow members Sooyoung and Hyoyeon.
Fans are now waiting to see whether Yuri will extend her long partnership with SM Entertainment or begin a new chapter elsewhere.
