MBK Entertainment, formerly known as Core Contents Media, is the main entertainment management in the past label of the CJ E&M Music Performance Division. CJ's company GM Planning (now known as the CJ E&M Music Performance Division) acquired and integrated the three companies — MAXMP3, Poibos, and Mediopia. However, in order to reduce the size, a separate subsidiary was created.
On October 1, 2014, it was announced that Core Contents Media was acquired by MBK Co., Ltd. (formerly CS ELSOLAR Co., Ltd.) and renamed as MBK Entertainment.[1][2] MBK is an abbreviation for "Music Beyond Korea". It is home to artists like T-ara, The SeeYa,Speed, Shannon, High Brow and DIA; actors like Moon Hee-kyung, Kim Gyu-ri and Son Ho-jun; and others.
