Joo Ji-Hoon Net Worth 2021: Is 'Kingdom' Actor Worth More Under His New Agency?

Joo Ji-Hoon entered 2021 with a truly fresh start by signing with a new agency and leaving his old one, KeyEast. He joined H& Entertainment, which promised to take care of the actor's career, which has certainly seen a boost ever since the "Kingdom" series dropped on Netflix.

Since almost half a year has passed with him being managed by the new agency, this begs the question, how much is Joo Ji-Hoon worth right now?

Joo Ji-Hoon Net Worth 2021

Joo Ji-Hoon's net worth is estimated by many reports to be around $1 Million. It can be hard to come at a definite amount, especially for a busy actor like Joo Ji-Hoon. If projects keep on coming, his net worth is likely to keep expanding.

The "Kingdom" actor was born on sixteenth May 1982. He broke through the entertainment industry by first modeling in 2003. He was able endorse so many popular brands, including but not limited to Levi's, Reebok, and Calvin Klein.

In 2006, he got his big acting break when he joined the ever-popular "Princess Hours." This particular role won him the best new actor award.

The show was so good that apart from him, his co-star Yoon Eun-hye earned the best new actress award at the MBC Drama Awards.

The rest is history when it comes to how successful of an actor he has become.

Joo Ji-Hoon Changing Agencies

On January 4 of 2021, H& Entertainment excitedly made an announcement that Joo Ji-Hoon has signed an exclusive contract with the company. The company was established by Hong Min Ki, who used to be KeyEast's vice president, and therefore, had been somewhat of a mentor for Joo Ji-Hoon ever since 2011.

For Joo Ji-Hoon to suddenly make this massive shift in his career is, therefore, not that surprising. It's not as if he's moving into a completely unfamiliar territory.

At the time, H& Entertainment stated, "We are thrilled that Joo Ji Hoon has joined our agency. Joo Ji Hoon has shown unrivaled charm through his many works and gained a global fandom beyond Asia. We will do our utmost to support him so that he can build a stronger acting career."

The agency is not to be undermined, despite being relatively new. It is already the home to many actors who are household names, such as Jung Ryeo Won, Son Dam Bi, Kwak Dong Yeon, Jung In Sun, among others.

Regardless of the new agency's plans, there is no doubt that the actor's past performance already earned him a reputation as a dependable talent who deserves all sorts of lucrative projects. 

New agency or not, Joo Ji-Hoon is already an actor of outstanding caliber. His net worth can be attributed to how hard he has worked on every project that went his way. This was already quite obvious in "Kingdom 1" and "Kingdom 2."

People would not be patiently waiting for the third installment if he had done a poor job of being the main cast as the prince fighting monsters and securing the people against famine while dealing with all sorts of betrayals and conspiracies.

Apart from "Kingdom," Joo Ji Hoon's impressive acting was already seen in so many movies and dramas, such as "Along With the Gods" and "Hyena."

He is also part of an upcoming drama called "Mount Jiri," which is set to air in the latter part of this year.
