History

Founding

JYP Entertainment was originally found as Arion Corp. (아라리온), a company that made integrated circuit chips and computer data storage while offering servers. The company's established date is set as the day Arion Corp. was found. On January 29, 1999, the company changed its name to Bogang Media (보광미디어). Afterwards, the company integrated a wireless communicator company called Saytech Corp., so the company name was changed to Saytech Corp. On November 11, 2007, the company was given to the entertainer Rain. Due to that, the name was changed to Jaytune Entertainment (제이튠인터테인먼트).[3]

On December 2008, the company changed its type of enterprise to entertainment. On February 23, 2011, Park Jin-young's JYP Entertainment became the biggest stockholder of J. Tune Entertainment, so the name was changed to reflect the event.[3]

The studio and headquarters of its United States (US) branch, JYP USA, officially opened in New York City in June 20, 2007.[4] In October 2008, JYP Entertainment opened the JYP Beijing Center as its China branch. On November 2011, JYP Creative, a US subsidiary division was established.[5] The company was forced to close all US operations. [6]

Current

The company is divided into three divisions: entertainment management, phonograph record business, and contents. The entertainment management division manages advertising, concerts, and events. The phonograph record business division manages the planning, production, and distribution of phonograph records. The phonograph division also manages casting and the training of singers. The contents division provides digital media and is involved in licensing.[7]

On November 2012, JYP Entertainment shut down its New York City office and its US subsidiary corporation "JYP Creative." The subsidiary shut down after a $1.2 million investment and a consequent $1.5 million loss. [5] On Jun 19, 2013, JYP Entertainment finalized a deal to merge with JYP Corporation,a company that dealt with production and distribution of records and music products. On October 17, 2013, JYP Entertainment merged with JYP Corporation.[7] It has been reported that the group is worth in excess of $100 million.[8]

On December 9, 2013, it was revealed that JYP Entertainment has decided to liquidate it's sub-label, AQ Entertainment, at the latter's meeting of shareholders.[9]

Partnerships

In June 2009, it was officially announced that JYP Entertainment and the Jonas Group signed a management deal for the Wonder Girls. Wonder Girls joined the Jonas Brothers' World Tour 2009, in selected cities,and performed their two songs "Nobody" and "Tell Me" as the opening act.[10] In the same year, Hyerim, a joint venture between JYP Entertainment and KeyEast BOF, was founded.[11]

KMP Holdings

In March 2010, KMP Holdings was established via a joint venture between JYP, S.M., YG, Star Empire, and other companies. KMP is the official distributor of releases from these companies. KMP stands for "Korean Music Power".[12] In November 2010, JYP Japan (Tokyo) was founded.

AQ Entertainment

In December 2010, Park Jin-Young announced that Rain would be merging his entertainment company, J. Tune Entertainment, with JYP Entertainment.[14]

United Asia Management

In 2011, JYP Entertainment partnered up with SM Entertainment, YG Entertainment, KeyEast, AMENT and Star J Entertainment to create United Asia Management in an effort to promote Korean pop music internationally.[15] In February 2011, JYP Entertainment was changed to JYP co., Ltd.
