VICTON’s Hanse moves on after leaving IST Entertainment, signs with hip-hop label Dial Music
VICTON member Hanse shocked fans by choosing not to renew his contract with IST Entertainment amid the group’s indefinite hiatus. Unlike older members still tied up with military service, Hanse and the younger members parted ways this year.
Hanse debuted in 2016 with VICTON and gained spotlight solo with his 2021 album Blaze. After signing a one-year deal with hip-hop label Dial Music—founded by rapper BIGONE and home to soloist Dive—he parted ways with the company in July 2024.
Instead of waiting around, Hanse jumped into new projects fast. He appeared in BIGONE’s “Pop-Punk” and performed at the Rapbeat festival, proving he’s still going strong.
Fans noticed his fresh energy and couldn’t hide their excitement online. Hanse kept followers updated on Instagram, sharing his journey freely after K-Pop constraints.
His latest move is a collaboration mini-album with LAVEEN from July 2024.
Hanse’s solo activities hint at new directions for him, while VICTON’s future remains uncertain with ongoing military commitments for older members.
