WAKEONE Co., Ltd. (Korean: 주식회사 웨이크원), is a South Korean entertainment company under CJ ENM. Current artists include Davichi, Roy Kim, Ha Hyun-sang, Jo Yu-ri, Zerobaseone, TO1 and Kep1er (co-managed with Swing Entertainment) as well as dance crew Mbitious.[1]

History

The company was founded in 2014 by Son Dong-hoon under the name MMO Entertainment (MMO standing for Music Makes One, the slogan of CJ ENM's flagship music channel Mnet).[2]

In September 2018, MMO and CJ ENM founded Off the Record Entertainment (Korean: 오프더레코드 엔터테인먼트) to manage Iz*One (now disbanded) and Fromis 9. Pledis Entertainment was involved in the creative direction and music production of both while they were in Off the Record until Pledis CEO withdrew from being involved with IZ*ONE after April 2020[3] (Fromis 9 continued to be in the label until they fully transferred to Pledis in August 2021). Iz*One and Fromis 9 are debut groups of Mnet's girl group survival shows Produce 48 and Idol School, respectively.[4]

In March 2020, the company name was changed to Onefect Entertainment.

In May 2021, CJ ENM launched 'Wake One'. In August 2021, CJ ENM officially launched the label with integrating their in-house production and management labels Stone Music Entertainment, One Effect Entertainment, Studio Blue, and Off the Record.[5][6] In the same months, Stone Music and Off Record co-managed artists Fromis 9 were transferred to Pledis Entertainment.[7]

Following the terminated management contract with n.CH Entertainment by CJ ENM in early 2021, TO1 were transferred to Wake One Entertainment in May 2021 (after the company reorganization in the same month).[8]

On October 25, 2021, it was announced that Wake One Entertainment would co-manage the winner of the Girls Planet 999 group, Kep1er, with sister company Swing Entertainment. The group's contract will last for two years and six months.[9]

In December 2021, former RBW composer and producer Park Woo-sang transferred to the label.[10]
