On April 23, 2018, Amoeba Culture revealed that Bang had signed an exclusive contract with them since last year, having previously turned down offers from major agencies such as SM Entertainment and YG Entertainment.[7] Two days later, Bang was confirmed to have his acting debut on Youtube Red's original series, Top Management.[8] He also contributed to the series' OST by releasing "Me In (Feat. Chancellor)", which was a rearranged version of the song included in the EP of S.O.U.L, the series' fictional band.[9]

On April 30, 2019, Bang terminated his exclusive contract with Amoeba Culture because of health reasons.[10]
