Management rights will be handled by Hee Upi, responsible for planning and production.
They are embarking on new challenges in communication activities with fans, celebrating their 15th anniversary.
[TV Daily Reporter Kim Jin-seok] Idol group B1A4 (Shinwoo, Sanduel, Gongchan) is set to establish B1A4 Company and prepare for future activities. On the 24th, the three members of B1A4 announced the official launch of B1A4 Company, aimed at planning and developing upcoming content and albums. They will take on roles as internal directors, continuing their activities. Currently, management rights for B1A4 are handled by Hee Upi, while B1A4 Company will focus on producing and planning the members' overall activities.
Despite differences in contract durations, the three members have established this structure based on their commitment to consistently engage in group activities. Notably, Gongchan continued his solo fan meeting tour after his contract ended in August last year, considering the relationships with his bandmates, and is set to hold a solo fan meeting in Taiwan on January 10. Shinwoo's contract ends on December 31, while Sanduel's goes until February 28. The support of Kim Jin-woo from WM Entertainment played a significant role in this process.
B1A4 stated, 'We established B1A4 Company to continually work with our fans, so we feel both excited yet anxious about this new challenge.' They pledged to maintain ongoing communication with their fans and engage in various activities. Hee Upi expressed their honor in being able to collaborate with B1A4 and assured support for the members' diverse activities. Since their debut in 2011, B1A4 has given us numerous hits and has consistently engaged in various endeavors, with plans to celebrate their 15th anniversary in April this year.
The establishment of B1A4 Company marks a significant turning point, emphasizing the members' autonomy as artists rather than just a restructuring of the group. By launching B1A4 Company, they create an environment conducive to independent production, allowing direct involvement in planning upcoming albums and content. This not only fosters a greater sense of belonging and trust among fans but is also expected to bolster each member's individual activities.
The newly established B1A4 Company will serve as an integrated platform for the diverse activities of B1A4. The structure crafted for collaboration, despite their varying contract durations, showcases the solidarity among the members. Such a refined approach to their activities is likely to further strengthen their bond with the fan base.
The support from WM Entertainment plays a crucial role in the launch of B1A4 Company, demonstrating the group's potential for sustained growth. With smooth negotiations surrounding management contracts, B1A4 is expected to present an array of rich content and activities for their fans in the near future.
