Super Junior members Donghae and Eunhyuk have officially embarked on a new venture by founding their own entertainment agency, ODE Entertainment. This comes after the expiration of their exclusive contracts with SM Entertainment on August 31. Moreover, Super Junior Donghae and Eunhyuk announce their world tour 2023 schedule. This is an exciting development for fans of the Super Junior duo and the Kpop world in general.
Super Junior Donghae and Eunhyuk Ready for New Chapter After SM Entertainment
In July, SM Entertainment reported that although Super Junior had collectively renewed their contract, individual members Eunhyuk, Donghae, and Kyuhyun chose not to renew their contracts. The transition to independence materialized swiftly, with Donghae and Eunhyuk assuming their new executive roles at ODE Entertainment just one day after their previous contracts ended. Confirming the move, an official from ODE Entertainment stated,
“Following the expiration of their contracts with SM Entertainment, Donghae and Eunhyuk have founded ODE Entertainment and taken on the role of co-CEOs.”
Focus on D&E Duo and Future Prospects
According to sources close to Donghae and Eunhyuk, their partnership goes beyond just business. They’ve been close friends for a long time and intend to continue both their individual pursuits and their D&E duo activities under the banner of their newly established company. Donghae adn Eunhyuk are even considering recruiting new artists in the future.
“They plan to continue their individual activities as well as their D&E duo activities under ODE Entertainment. They are also considering recruiting new artists once the company is fully established.”

Despite their move to an independent platform, both Super Junior members Donghae and Eunhyuk maintain a strong affinity for their original group. Their love for Super Junior is so strong that they have committed to continuing participation in all group activities. Adding another familiar face to ODE Entertainment, Super Junior’s manager Won Yong Sun, who appeared with them on the MBC variety show “The Manager,” has also joined the new agency.
