After his much celebrated legal victory, former Monsta X member Wonho is now moving forward with his career by signing an exclusive contract with Highline Entertainment.

On Friday, April 10, news broke after Highline Entertainment announced that the 27-year-old is now pursuing a solo career.

It wrote, “We recently signed an exclusive contract with Wonho. We will provide our full support for Wonho to newly start activities as a solo artist.”

In the same statement, Wonho commented, “I am deeply reflecting on my foolish and thoughtless actions from the past.

"I am very thankful to the fans who have given me this opportunity and I will do my best to repay the support they have given me.”

Minutes after the announcement, Highline Entertainment has also launched the official Twitter and Instagram accounts as well as a fan cafe for the K-pop singer.
