CJ ENM at a Glance

Where does true originality come from?

Since 1995, CJ ENM has been answering that question. We are at originality’s frontier, creating must-see dramas, award-winning movies, and addictive reality entertainment. We are discovering K-pop’s next stars, inventing anima-tion’s next sensation, and producing world-class musicals for Broadway, London’s West End, and Asia. Originality thrives on common themes in every language, every age, and every generation. New characters and stories bring us together through the emotions we all share.

At CJ ENM we love to find the familiar within the unfamiliar —and the thrill that comes with it.

The teaming of CJ ENM and Big Hit Entertainment combines the power of two of South Korea’s biggest pop-culture brands for a rather unbeatable product. Big Hit has birthed internationally beloved acts like BTS and TXT. Meanwhile, CJ ENM’s wide business reach means they work with nearly all aspects of Korean entertainment. Putting their brands together creates a synergy that hasn’t been seen for a moment and creates a global platform for a show like I-LAND.
