The Korean music industry has 3 MAIN Entertainment management companies.

They are: SM, JYP, and YG. All the names of these three companies stand for the names of the president of the company.

• SM: Lee Su Man is the owner of the SM entertainment. Although Lee Su Man was not a singer, his company has been extremely successful. All of his idol groups have been successful in Korea. Dong Bang Shin Gi-a 5 member Korean Pop Idol group is mentioned in the book of Guinness World Record for having the most fans in the world..
• JYP, mentioned in the previous posts was an ugly, one of Korea’s sexiest man singer when he was young, and still is today. He works at America with one of the greatest singers as a producer today.
• And lastly YG, was part of Korea’s BIGGES IDOL group- Su Tae Ji and the kids band when he was younger.

Few of my favorite singers- Big Bang, Gummy, Se7en, Jinusean- are part of the YG family, or also called the Yang Goon Entertainment. The owner of this entertainment, Mr. Yang, was part of the biggest Idol Group in the history of Korea, “Su Tae Jee and the kids.” It would not be an exaggeration to describe the YG Entertainment as Korea’s biggest Hip Hop & Pop management company. Check out their website. Because of their international extensions, it is easy to view the English website.

: JYP

: SM

These videos are the performances of singers during the end of the year concert in 2007. In my opinion, the best overall company is the YG family (my personal favorite), then JYP, then SM. SM entertainment singers are almost products- rather than singers. They can’t sing….

But sure YG can, and maybe JYP (:
