K-pop entertainment agencies are comprehensive companies that oversee the entire process of discovering, training, debuting, and managing idols. South Korea’s major agencies—SM Entertainment, YG Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, and HYBE—have each established distinctive management systems and musical identities that shape the industry.

SM Entertainment, founded by Lee Soo-man in 1995, pioneered the systematic casting and large-scale production systems that laid the foundation for the modern K-pop industry. The agency has produced prominent groups including H.O.T., TVXQ, Girls’ Generation, EXO, and NCT, and has actively pursued localization strategies for overseas markets. YG Entertainment, established by Yang Hyun-suk in 1996, built its reputation on hip-hop and R&B-centered music. Home to BIGBANG, 2NE1, and BLACKPINK, the agency emphasizes in-house composition and production to create a distinctive musical identity.

JYP Entertainment, founded by Park Jin-young in 1997, is known for prioritizing character education alongside artistic training. The agency has launched successful acts including Wonder Girls, 2PM, TWICE, and Stray Kids, maintaining active presence in North American and Japanese markets. HYBE originated as Big Hit Entertainment, founded by Bang Si-hyuk in 2005, and rebranded in 2021 following its rapid growth driven by BTS’s global success. HYBE has expanded through acquisitions of global labels and multinational collaborations, and operates the fan community platform Weverse.

All major agencies are listed on the KOSDAQ or KOSPI stock markets and have evolved into comprehensive content companies encompassing album production, music production, choreography creation, and global tour planning. Beyond artist management, these agencies actively pursue global expansion through establishing local labels and operating joint ventures in overseas markets, reflecting the increasingly international scope of the K-pop industry.
