Actor Cha Seung Won To Join YG Family

Actor Cha Seung Won signed with one of the largest entertainment agencies in Korea, YG Entertainment. He will be joining singers PSY, Big Bang, and 2NE1, and actors Jung Hye Young, Ku Hye Sun, and Yoo In Na.

On January 20, a YG Entertainment rep stated, "Cha Seung Won is a man of many talents with outstanding acting abilities and masculinity. He believed the professionalism and skill set he brings to the table coupled with the YG brand power will produce a better synergy toward his career."

Cha Seung Won left lasting impressions on the audience in the films '71: Into the Fire', 'Eye for an Eye', and more. He starred in the Korean drama 'The Greatest Love' and received the men's MBC Grand Award in the Mini Series genre.

He has worked with singer and actor Big Bang member Choi Seung Hyun in '71: Into the Fire' and with actress Yoo In Na in 'The Greatest Love'.

Meanwhile, veteran actress Yim Ye Jin, who currently stars in the dramas 'Miss Korea' and 'Can We Love', as well as actor Jang Hyun Sung, who earned rave reviews for his role in the film 'Hwayi: A Monster Boy' and the entertainment show 'Superman Has Returned', will also join the YG Family.

YG Entertainment CEO Yang Min Suk shared, "Through our partnership with KT in the hologram business and our recent acquisition of the production company Red Rover that produced the Hollywood animation film 'The Nut Job', we believe this will strengthen our capabilities in managing actors and plans in video production. It will also strengthen our in-house broadcasting contents production team 'Winner TV'."

YG Entertainment plans to continue evolving its business globally, so that it will not only be a world-renown leader in music production and musician management, but also in actor management and other production-related businesses.
