After rumors that linked him to both YG and Hybe was denied by both companies..
Park Bo-gum is friends with Sean, who's a former artist and current director of YGFoundation, the charitable arm of YG.
This is the first report stating he's actually been in contact with THEBLACKLABEL and has shown interest.
I've stated in the past to look for THEBLACKLABEL to make some big moves as they are going public and to increase the IPO as Teddy and the new CEO of TBL go to venture capitalists to gain interest.
It's the reason YG transferred Taeyang to THEBLACKLABEL. To make waves. Park Bo-gum would definitely do that.
The plan is to make THEBLACKLABEL into a mini-YG

While actor Park Bo-gum is looking for a new agency, attention is pouring into his activities both inside and outside the broadcasting industry. Sports Donga DB
'Catch Park Bo-gum.'
Top star Park Bo-gum (30) is ready to fly again. After being discharged from the Navy on April 30th of last year, he has not announced any new work, but he is accelerating preparations for his acting activities, such as finding a new agency. Unlike his debut in the entertainment industry in 2011, where he has been concentrating on appearing in movies and dramas, he is also determined to meet the public as a singer in the future.
For this purpose, Park Bo-gum is recently in contact with The Black Label, a subsidiary of YG Entertainment. The Black Label is a company founded by Teddy, a producer from the group 1Time, and many hip-hop singers such as Taeyang, Jeon Somi, Zion.T, and Kush belong to the group Big Bang. Since its establishment in 2016, it has never signed an exclusive contract with an actor until recently. Nevertheless, Park Bo-gum is known to be showing interest in the agency, revealing his will to work on his record.
As such, he is extensively looking for companies where stars from various fields belong to in order to pursue both acting and music activities. Park Bo-gum has developed his dream of music for a long time, enough to go to Sangmyung University's new media music department graduate school after going through the Department of Film and Musical at Myongji University. Previously, he released several singles such as KBS 2TV's 'Moonlight Drawn by Clouds' OST, 'Let's Go See the Stars', 'Happy Merry Christmas', and 'All My Love'. He made use of his singing and piano playing skills, and in August 2020, he passed and served in the keyboard part of the Naval Military Music Chairman Battalion Cultural Public Relations Sergeant.
Since Park Bo-gum left his former agency, Blossom Entertainment, in December of last year after 10 years, interest in him is growing both inside and outside the broadcasting industry as he moved in about two months. This is because he has been postponing discussions on a new work since the second half of last year, ahead of the expiration of his exclusive contract with his former agency. As Park Bo-gum moved to a new company and was expected to decide his next move, many drama and film production companies started working behind the scenes to propose works of various subjects such as historical dramas and romances in order not to miss the time.
Accordingly, it is expected that discussions on appearing in KBS 2TV's 'When the Camellia Blooms' will begin in earnest in the near future, such as 'Life' (tentative title), a new work by Lim Sang-choon. The movie 'Wonderland', which he filmed before enlisting, is waiting for release.
Meanwhile, Park Bo-gum is engaged in various volunteer activities apart from entertainment activities. Right after he was discharged from the military last year, he first visited a child welfare facility he had supported for 10 years and drew attention. On the 18th, he participated in volunteering to deliver briquettes for neighbors in need in Nowon-gu, Seoul, with hip-hop duo Jinusean member Sean and actor Yoon Se-ah.

Sean posted on his Instagram account on the 17th, "January 17, 2023, the 11th 20.23 km of the year, I ran 10 km with Im Si-wan and Park Bo-gum, and had a butter salt bagel and a cup of ice cafe latte at a restaurant."

The released photos show the Han River running crew Park Bo-gum, Im Si-wan, and Sean. It is known that the three of them gathered at the Han River as a running crew and spent time running together on a course near the Han River. Coincidentally, at the time the photo was uploaded, there was also a misinformation that Park Bo-gum was transferring to Sean's agency, YG Entertainment. but this is untrue.
On the same day, YG Entertainment told Dong-A.com, “The rumor about Park Bo-gum being recruited is groundless. Although he has a close relationship with Sean and visits them often, there was no process or any procedure to recruit Park Bo-gum as an actor. It is not an exclusive contract at all.”
Park Bo-gum is looking for a new agency after leaving Blossom Entertainment, which he has been with for a long time. He is also open to the possibility of establishing a one-man agency, but several companies have tried to contact Bogum Park to strike out a management contract. Its course is still undecided.
Park Bo-gum is also reviewing a comeback project. Park Bo-gum is on the lookout for a male lead in a new work by Lim Sang-choon, who wrote 'When the Camellia Blooms', and is considering appearing. Industry insiders explained that appearances are likely as long as there are no incidents. Her heroine is IU (real name Lee Ji-eun). The work will go into production this year. The time of organization and release is undecided.
