JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong has set up a new agency!

Kim Jaejoong, who became the head of the new agency, will participate in not only his own activities as an artist but also the production of new artists as the CSO (Chief Strategy Officer) of iNKODE. In addition to nurturing rookie idols, Kim Jaejoong plans to lead various businesses such as management of K-pop artists and actors with great potential.

CEO Noh Hyun Tae, who founded iNKODE with Kim Jaejoong, served as the vice president at Cube Entertainment and led the success of the groups BEAST and 4Minute. As the CEO of iNKODE, he plans to focus on discovering and producing new artists who will lead the next generation of K-pop.

Congratulations to Kim Jaejoong on his new start!
