JYP Entertainment Experiences Stock Growth After Park Jin Young, miss A, 2PM Releases

The third of South Korea's "big three" entertainment companies has seen stock prices climb to their highest prices since April of last year.

JYP Entertainment, run by CEO Park Jin Young, made gains in stock prices since releases by three of the company's top musical acts. The success in Korea by Park Jin Young and girl group miss A, and in Japan by male idol group 2PM, are directly related to the current gains.

Even as other Korean entertainment companies make gains, the resurgence of JYP Entertainment's stock reinsured its place in the Korean entertainment industry.

The stock prices of JYP Entertainment peaked in 2012, trading on the KOSDAQ at nearly 10,000 points. As of April 21, 2015, JYP Entertainment was trading around 6,000 points.

The last time JYP Entertainment's stock prices was traded at this high per share was in April 2014, after the news of an upcoming 2PM comeback in South Korea.  

JYP Entertainment saw much success with comebacks by girl group miss A and CEO Park Jin Young. The two competed for top place on Korean music charts, with Park Jin Young's song "Who's Your Mama?" eventually overtaking miss A's "Only You" as the number one song in South Korea.

In Japan, JYP Entertainment's male group 2PM latest album, "2PM of 2PM," topped daily album charts and are in the midst of preparations for a Japanese stadium tour.

The stock prices of JYP Entertainment suffered a minor dip in early April after the news of miss A's front runner Suzy dating Hallyu actor Lee Min Ho, but rebounded as the music releases climbed music charts.
