A change of name, new investors, what will be the future and the new beginning of TS Entertainment?
TS Entertainment‘s de facto successor, MBK Company, has announced its launch. MBK Company is an entertainment agency and management consulting company run by Filipino investors and the family of former TS Entertainment executives, and is currently owned by model Kim Gyu Gyeol.
MBK Company has a large number of TS Entertainment executives, so it can be considered the de facto successor of TS Entertainment.
TS Entertainment was established in 2008 and produced idol groups B.A.P., SECRET, SONAMOO, and TRCNG. At that time, B.A.P.’s “Power” and “Warrior”, SECRET’s “Starlight moonlight” and “Shy Boy“, Song Jieun’s “Twenty five“, Jun Hyo Seong’s “Into you” were big hits, making it reach the rank of influential idol agencies.
“We will continue to become an influential entertainment agency in the world of popular culture by building on TS Entertainment‘s reputation in the past,” said a senior official of MBK Company. “We will hold various international auditions in the future to discover idol groups that will surpass the talented B.A.P. and SECRET.“ The agency has also launched auditions to find its future artists

For fans, even if TS Entertainment has created and managed great popular groups, they also remember the many setbacks and mismanagements of these groups. Will a name change be enough to bring about a real renewal? Will the management team have learned from its mistakes? Will a framework carried out by foreign investors be able to bring a real breath of fresh air? The future of this agency will tell us.
