Chae Jongju, CEO of JPLANET Entertainment, where Yurisangja and NC.A are from, won an award for his contribution to the cultural section of the industry's development on the 21st.

Since his first attempt at pop culture and the art industry as a manager of JUJU CLUB in 1997, Chae Jongju has supported many (artist's) musical activities by planning and producing artists of various genres, including Kim Minjong, Uhm Junghwa, Koyotae, Typhoon, Yurisangja, NC.A and Sugarbowl, from 1997 to now in the local music market, where idol groups have dominated the industry most of the time.

Specifically, different than the current situations in the entertainment industry where serious conflicts and disputes between the agency and celebrities are becoming big problems, Chae Jongju has been working with his current artist, Yurisangja, without a single dispute from 2007 until now, and has maintained a trust-based relationship without a single contract until JPLANET became a subsidiary of NHN Entertainment.

Debuted in 2013, NC.A has been an example for (artists in) the industry, completing her contract renewal in 2019, even before the seven-year contract ended.

Recently, with growth being requested for in many different areas, such as more diversity in the pop culture industry, the establishment of better legal systems and moral responsibilities, Chae Jongju was awarded a commendation for his efforts to diversify pop culture and for his role in creating and maintaining exemplary partnerships with his entertainers over the past two decades.

Meanwhile, JPLANET Entertainment is also set to launch an existing girl group and also a different girl group with a unique concept in the first half of this year.
