Are you eventually going to group everything together? Like All the bands in one company near each other and the companies in alphabetical order. Just wondering. Thanks for this anyway!
Yes! I was kinda too lazy to do that when I first made this, but I promise you I shall eventually soon organize it better.
isn’t Miss A in J.Y.P Entertainment not J-Tune Entertainment
Nope. Miss A. has been signed on to J. Tune Camp since the New Year, I assure you.
So they used to be in J.Y.P now their in J.Tune?
How come their in J.Tune now instead of J.Y.P did they quit J.Y.P
Yes. They started out in JYP, but then got transfered to J.Tune Camp. If you check our “AGENICES/ RECORD LABELS” page on top, you will find that J.Tune Camp is a sub unit of JYP Entertainment, created by Rain himself. Rain was under JYP until he decided to create his own label, which is in fact J.Tune. Therefore, J.Tune is a sub unit – to some extent – of JYP, and it is completely normal for Miss A. to have been transfered to J.Tune.
If I still am not making any sense, Miss A. is allowed to work with JYP still because J.Tune is a sub unit of JYP, but all credit goes to J.Tune.
ItsJuSTTJo is right
can you put bands from Tn Entertainment?…advance thank you!
great, a well-done job of you ^^ thanks a lot dear. I’ve been looking for a list like this so long ^^
You’re welcome! Glad to help >U<
which entertainment mblaq belong?
since its all about k- pop, can you suggests what website to visit for me and others to know to learn korean language? thanks.. this page reaaly helped me a lot.
isn’t 2am and 2pm is from the same agency?
can i give a suggestion? I feel is much better if you put together every boy band, girl band and solo artists if they have same agency. I’m a bit confused because they are separate. would be easier if they unite.
but you guys are great, have made it all. Thank you.
2AM and 2PM are NOT under the same agency. They seem like it, but they are under separate ones. They are able to work together because Big Hit Entertainment is a sub unit of JYP Entertainment… understand?
That is a good idea! Maybe I’ll add that (:
okay.. i got it.. thanks for info
Can you do one of X-5 too?
Never heard of them before. But I’ll check for you!
They are under Open World Entertainment
Is U-kiss now under LOEN Entertainment or are they just posting their new music video 0330 for NH Media on youtube?
Well, I honestly don’t know the reason why 0330 is under LOEN Entertainment’s YouTube account.
However, I DO know that U-Kiss has NOT transferred to LOEN Ent.
because LOEN Ent distributes their album. The 3 biggest distributors in Korea – SM Ent, LOEN Ent and CJ E&M.
JQT are from LOEN ;p
Awww, really? Thank you for this!
Jqt isnt even of loen and neither is piggy dolls, n sonic or baek ji young. I dont know y ppl wrote it on wikipedia but it is fake. On loen site, they wrote that they supports only IU, SUNNY HILLS, ZIA, and RU-N. and those r the only ones as of now.
aren’t you adding solo artists?
Oh and just helping. You can add miss $ to brand new stardom ent
i love kpop
4 ever and ever
erm . if im not wrong , 2am and miss a is from jyp entertainment rite ?
Technically speaking, yes. But Miss A. is officially under J. Tune Camp, which is a sub label under JYP Entertainment.
I heard that there are J.Tune Entertainment and J.Tune Camp.
MBLAQ belongs to J.Tune Camp, which doesn’t relate anything to JYPE.
Miss A and Rain belongs to J.Tune Entertainment.
J. Tune Entertainment and J. Tune Camp are the same company.
J. Tune Camp is a sub-unit of JYP, created by Rain himself, who was once under JYP’s contract, until he broke off and created his own label – J. Tune Camp.
Isn’t Miss A suppose to be under AQ Ent?
yeah . .i think so . .
Nope.
JYP NATION IS ONLY HAVE 2PM,WONDER GIRL,MISS A AND 2AM.WHY MBLAQ…..
Thought so too. cause even Mblaq and miss A are under J. tune camp why in JYP Christmas video miss A was in it and not Mblaq…?? wierdddd. And i heard about miss A being under J. tune camp but never seen then there always see them with JYP nation =)
there are Zhang Li Yin (Jang Ri In) and CSJH The Grace in SM Entertainment
Zhang Li Yin is a singer from china but she made her debut in korean under SM Ent.
CSJH The Grace is girlband consists of 4 members (Dana, Lina, Stephanie and Sunday)
Both of them are from SM Entertainment
SM:
BoA
Kangta
i think solo artist Andy and Seo MinWoo in T.O.P media too look at this: http://www.itopgroup.com/
how about CSJH The Grace?aren’t they SM Entertainment’s girlgroup?
miss a from AQent and mblaq from j tune camp ^^
can u add J-Lim (Lim Jeonghee) to solo artist on JYP Entertainment?
oh, sorry, my mistake. j-lim is already in the right place (big hit) kkk sorry i didnt see that
hey just wanna inform you that X-5 is in Open World Entertainment too ^^
Star Empire is not formed by LOEN, it’s a main unit by itself.
And Starship is not a sub-unit of Star Empire. It’s also a main unit by itself.
Oh and may I add, there’s no Miji in Star Empire.
There’s V.O.S under their boybands, and also Seo In Young and Park Jung Ah under the solo artists. They’re no longer in Jewelry.
miss A, 2PM, 2AM, Wonder Girls aren’t in the same agency, are they?
Yes, they are. ^^ That is JYP.
hi can u add MYNAME under h2media.. and bap too under ts.
this k-pop star agencies make me confused…btw thanks for the info…

which one is gp basic under? gp basic entertainment? ^_^
As far as I know, Cube Entertainment was never been the sister company of JYP. It was just said like that because the CEO of Cube Entertainment has worked years ago for JYP and he just had an idea to establish an entertainment company because of that work experienced.
Is Wheesung in YMC Entertainment with Ailee??
i wonder how does one form a record label/company. Sounds cool. Hard too. If you just started, hard to get people to audition for you :/ And to hire the music mixers, trainers etc..wow needa be a billionaire for that..
miss A, Wonder Girls, 2AM and 2PM are still in the same company and that is JYPE.
)))
But I know miss A is also under of AQ Entertainment. AQ is just a sub-unit of JYPE. So that concludes that they are STILL in the same company. Don’t you notice that every time Suzy gives her thank you speech, she includes JYPE and AQ.
And the time that Suzy and Min guested in Strong Heart, Seung Gi asked them how they joined JYPE. They even had a debate with Leeteuk,Shindong and Se7en about which is the best company to audition. And they defended for JYPE. ^^
you should list CJES Entertainment (JYJ,…)
Since Bang&Zelo, as well as Troublemaker duo are listed, I guess GD&TOP duo should be added to the list.
Isn’t Jo PD under Brand New Stardom?
JYP is under LOEN?? O_O *mindblown*
boohwal–> soloist…?
Daesung Ent? T.O.P Media?? LOL
supernova in ccm right ? ._.
Under SMe : TaeTiSeo (Sub-unit)
Under SMe : TaeTiSeo (Sub-unit) ^^
Juniel (soloist) under FNC entertainment….
Nell is in Woolim entertainment)
i
Nell is in Woolim entertainment)
and also..since you are putting the subgroups here, then you should put Orange Caramel,As red,as blue in Pledis entertainment, SM the ballad in sm entertainment,gdtop in yg))
i think you should add Shinhwa Company
kekekeke
ShinHwa member solo activities agency – Liveworks Company : Shin Hyesung and Kim Dongwan / M Rizing Entertaiment : Lee Minwoo / Top Class Entertaiment : Eric ( and girl group Stellar) – T.O.P Media : Andy and a new group that should debut this year call 100% ( I know lame, but blamce Andy for the name). JunJin was under Open World, but didn’t renew his contract with them, he don’t have any agency for his solo activities for now.
Oh and of course ShinHwa Company for ShinHwa group activities.
where’s NAP entertainment?
it’s the home of C-REAL and Soulstar, isn’t it?
hope it’ll be up in your site soon….
How about B1A4?._.
I guess there’s a bit of misunderstanding, since I can see beside a lot of entertainments the text “formed by LOEN”. These entertainments are NOT formed by LOEN, they are independent main units. They are only _distributed_ by LOEN – which means LOEN helps advertising them by uploading their videos on their channel too, but it’s the only connection with Cube Entertainment, Pledis Entertainment, TS Entertainment and TOP Media, for example. And I guess that’s the same with the others.
C-CLOWN is from Yedang Ent ^__^
ADDITIONAL!
Add girl group ‘Evol’ in Brand New Stardom
FNC is sub unit group?? for real?? i don’t know about that before… FNC Artists are so many… they are : FTISLAND, CNBLUE, M SIGNAL, AOA, Oh Won Bin, Juniel, Song Se Hyun (FTISLAND Seunghyun’s lil bro), Gwak Dongyeon (actor), Park Gwanghyun (actor) and Lee Ha Na (actress) not just FTI, CNB, and MS … i hope u can re-update FNC artists
thankyou… ^^
What company is GP Basic from?
hye, just wanna ask, which entertainment VIXX belong?
Jellyfish Entertainment
thank you…
Epik High = Tablo is not under yg entertainment ?
Tasty the duo group is wollim entertainment right ?
Sorry i mean * woollim ent not wollim ent
Miss A JYP agency instead, because every song Miss A was said opening ‘JYP’?
Miss A under AQ Ent .
AQ Ent is Sub-unit of JYP Ent
so , Miss A include at JYP Concert .
and in opening song of Miss A there is JYP whisper , ’cause JYP is composer of they song .
and Baek Ah Yeon is AQ Ent too .
100% is a rookie group under T.O.P Media. Teen Top’s labelmate.
Epik high isn’t in woollim entertainment anymore. They’re now in YG entertainment.
I disagree with YG being only a main unit agency. They should be a lead agency. Top 3 agencies in Korea are SM, JYP, and YG.
Hey Sumandu, you have so much priceless information on here! I am an expert electronic music producer trying to make contacts in the Kpop realm. Do you have any advice on getting instrumentals “placed” or “used” by any of these labels? They are tough to reach but I am very confident that my music is up to the level required, if not above and beyond. Please let me know and keep doing your thing! This site is fantastic. Best wishes
Will
Don’t forget to add Nu’est in LOEN Entertainment (:
WHERE IS LEE HI ><
BTOB is under Cube not Cube DC. He clarified on twitter for those who thought they were under Cube DC.
I think you must update this because Epik High now under YG Ent. and Lee Hi they new artist .
)
Epik high is already at YG now! and babysoul at woollim
C-CLOWN is at Yedang Entertainment, PURETTY is at DSP Media, Juniel, AOA, and Oh Wonbin are at FNC Entertainment. It’s not ‘music’ anymore, but ‘entertainment’. C-REAL and SoulStar are at N.A.P Entertainment. FIESTAR is at LOEN Entertainment. Epik High and Lee Hi are at YG Entertainment
Please re-update this page ^^
Your website was the best for kpop lovers…….<3
Keep up the good work……..^.^
