Descriptiontext

Big Planet Made (BIGPLANETMADE ENTERTAINMENT Corp.) is a privately held South Korean entertainment company headquartered in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, that operates as a full-service K-pop and entertainment talent management agency. The company manages a roster of eight major artists spanning K-pop girl groups (VIVIZ, BADVILLAIN), solo vocalists and ballad performers (Ha Sung Woon, Lee Seung Woon), veteran entertainers (Lee Seung Gi, Lee Su Geun, Lee Mu Jin), and hip-hop artists (BE'O, REN), covering diverse genres including pop, R&B, hip-hop, ballads, and dance music. Its core offering is end-to-end artist management encompassing music production, content creation, concert and fan-event organization, media appearances across variety shows, dramas, and musicals, and brand endorsement brokerage.

The company distributes content through global digital streaming platforms (Melon, Genie, and international services), official artist YouTube channels for music video releases, and in-person concerts and fan meetings primarily in Korea. It maintains a multi-platform social media presence across Instagram, X, YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook for direct fan engagement. Big Planet Made also operates wholly-owned subsidiary labels One Hundred Label Co., Ltd (100RED) and INB100, which enable sub-label branding and cross-artist collaborative projects. Revenue is generated through three primary streams: one-time licensing of digital single/album releases and music video production, transaction fees from concert tours and live performances, and licensing royalties from artist endorsements and brand partnerships. Active talent acquisition is maintained through online and in-person audition programs.

The only disclosed C-suite role is Seo Jin-a (서진아), serving as Chief Privacy Officer handling privacy compliance and management support operations, consistent with the company's privately held structure. No institutional investors, parent company, or public shareholders are identified. Geographic footprint is primarily domestic (Seoul, South Korea), though recent roster artist Taemin's appearances at the Grammy Museum Global Spin Live stage in the US and preparation for Coachella indicate international expansion underway. Pricing, revenue figures, headcount, and capital structure are not publicly disclosed.

TimesNowEXO Baekhyun Among 'Biggest Victims' In MC Mong And Cha Ga-Won Controversy? Claims Of KRW 63 Billion Losses EmergeYouTuber Lee Jin-Ho claims that EXO member Baekhyun faces alleged financial losses of approximately KRW 63 billion due to a dispute involving MC Mong, Cha Ga-Won, and the company ONE HUNDRED. The controversy centers on unpaid settlements, a lease deposit, and a promised luxury property from Eterno Phase 3 that has not yet been developed. This incident is part of the broader legal conflict between SM Entertainment and Big Planet Made regarding contract terminations and agency representation.NateBIBI's Umji, halting activities amid agency disputes 'I never thought it would last this long...' feelings [RE: Star]: Nate EntertainmentBIBI member Umji has paused her activities due to an ongoing exclusive contract dispute with her agency, Big Planet Made Entertainment. The artist expressed regret for the extended hiatus while affirming her intention to continue creating content once the legal issues are resolved. BIBI initiated legal proceedings to terminate their contract with the agency in April.Nate'Big Planet and Dispute' BIBI's Umji 'I didn't know the gap would be this long, sometimes it's hard'... feelings: Nate EntertainmentBibiji member Umji released a handwritten letter on her birthday addressing the prolonged hiatus caused by a contract dispute with her agency, Big Planet Entertainment. The court previously ruled in favor of Bibiji in June, acknowledging the agency's violation of payment obligations and breach of trust. Umji expressed regret for the long wait but affirmed her commitment to returning with new content.The Korea HeraldThe woman behind a K-pop empire — and its stunning collapseCha Ga-won, CEO of One Hundred Label, was detained on Monday on fraud charges involving approximately 30 billion won ($21 million), including allegations she received 24.2 billion won in advance payments from Nomos for an IP-based business project that was never executed. The K-pop multilabel empire she built in just two years through acquisitions of Big Planet Made Entertainment, Million Market, INB100, and The Boyz collapsed equally fast, with nearly all artists departing citing unpaid settlements and management breaches. The company's downfall was accelerated by internal disputes with co-founder MC Mong, including a 12 billion won loan lawsuit and allegations of a secret relationship, as well as a scandal involving Ju Haknyeon of The Boyz.
