Jooyoung joins Starship X Entertainment?

This morning I was shocked by Jooyoung RTing Starship Entertainment's tweet about 'Starship X Troopers Concert' on August 31, 2014 in Olympic Hall.



It's been a while since the release of his single 'Popstar' on September 2013. He did a few featuring performances in Kim Feel's concert earlier this year, but still~ Seeing him listed in a concert held by a major label is totally.... wow. I am really speechless when I saw this at the first time. Jooyoung will share the same stage with Junggigo, MadClown, and SISTAR's Soyou and Hyolyn! :")

But does it mean he belongs to Starship X now?

Yes, it bugs me a lot. He left RealCollabo on April 2013 and has been under Belikewater Records ever since, as stated in his Facebook page. However, I highly suspect that Belikewater Records is his self-owned label, since it only has him under it (check their website here).

I tried searching for any news stating Jooyoung joins Starship X Entertainment only to find none. When I tried searching in Twitter, the first tweet stating Jooyoung is Starship X artist was made by @STARSHIPindo on 7:32 AM (GMT+7), followed by a tweet by @STARSHIPeffect on 8:09 AM (GMT+7).

@STARSHIPindo: OFFICIAL TWITTER JOOYOUNG (@soulgab) STARSHIP X Artist!!

@STARSHIPeffect: [INFO] Singer and song writer Jooyoung joins STARSHIP X!
 
I cannot believe it 100% since both of them are fanbase accounts which based in Indonesia. So I opened STARSHIPXent official twitter and found Jooyoung on the top of their following list.

STARSHIPX following list

I move to Jooyoung's personal twitter, opened his following list, and found he recently followed all Starship and Starship X Entertainment's artists.

Jooyoung's following list - 1 (newest)

Jooyoung's following list - 2

Jooyoung's following list - 3

Then I checked his profile on Naver, it also stated that he is now under Starship X. It also said that the profile has been changed today.

Seeing these, I think it's 99% safe to say that Jooyoung is under Starship X now. I am still bothered by the fact neither Jooyoung nor Starship X has announced him joining Starship X, so I leave that 1% there until there's an official announcement ^^. I mean, hey, Jooyoung took his time to announce his leave from RealCollabo~ And Starship X did announcements when Junggigo and MadClown joined them.

Thanks to that tweet by Starship Entertainment, today Jooyoung gained attention and new fans --especially from Indonesia ^^

Now that he's a part of Starship X, I hope I can see his 'official major debut' soon! (and maybe collaborations with K.Will? *wink wink*)

Eluphant's Kebee posted a photo of Jooyoung and Eluphant on July 29, 2014 in his Instagram and said Jooyoung is in Starship in the caption.
