Fantagio (Hangul: 판타지오) is a management agency in South Korea. Fantagio was established in 2008.[1][2]
History
Founded in 2008, the management agency was originally named N.O.A (which stood for "Network of Asia") before being changed to Fantagio in June 2011.[3]
On 4 March 2013, former manager-turned-CEO Na Byeong-jun opened Fantagio's "Managers' Academy," the first of its kind which aims to properly train "managers" in their work of driving, assisting and promoting stars with a systemized curriculum, which include classes in training actors in acting and speech, film production and media relations.[4][5]
Aside from talent management, Fantagio has also expanded to film/TV drama production, with its subsidiary Fantagio Pictures behind Love Fiction (2011), 577 Project (2011), Silenced (2011), Fasten Your Seatbelt (2013), After School: Lucky or Not (2013), and Cunning Single Lady (2014).[6] It also invested in dessert restaurant franchise Mango Six.[7][8]
