Since 2PM group activities have been loved by domestic and foreign fans for a long time, we will do our best so that 2PM’s activities will continue with JYP Entertainment.
51K started as a one-man agency but is growing into a comprehensive entertainment agency with sectors in publishing, music, and broadcast content production.
We are very pleased to be able to work with Taecyeon, who is a multi-talented artist and actor as we continue to pursue growth as an agency.
Taecyeon, who is currently serving in the military, is pleased to have a new start through 51K. He is determined to return to the entertainment industry in a more mature form so that he can return his fans’ love.
