About FNC Entertainment

FNC Entertainment was founded in 2006 by Han Sung-ho and is one of K-pop's most unique agencies - managing both idol groups and live bands, a rare combination in the industry. FNC rose to prominence with rock bands CNBLUE and FT Island before expanding into idol acts. AOA was one of their biggest successes, while SF9 and P1Harmony continue to drive international growth. FNC has a strong Japanese presence and manages talent across music, acting, and general entertainment.
