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).[4]

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.[4]

The studio and headquarters of its United States (US) branch, JYP USA, officially opened in New York City in June 20, 2007.[5] 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.[6] The company was forced to close all US operations.[7]

Current

The company is divided into three divisions: entertainment management, phonograph record business and content. 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 singer training. The content division provides digital media and is involved in licensing.[8]

On November 2012, JYP Entertainment shut down its New York City office and its US subsidiary JYP Creative. The subsidiary was closed after a $1.2 million investment and a consequent $1.5 million loss. [6] 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.[8] The group is reportedly worth in excess of $100 million.[9]
