Jung Man-sik's agency Big Whale Expands to Big Friends...With pets.



Big Whale Entertainment changed its name to Big Friends and declared its business expansion in earnest.

The change of the name follows the merger of a lifestyle company specializing in companion animals 'Big Friends' (CEO Cho Han-sun) and a management company 'Big Whale Entertainment' (CEO Lim Jung-bae), and said that it will combine entertainment and the pet industry to become a leading company in new fields.

Existing Big Whale Entertainment stands out in the area of artist management and is an actor management company that includes talented actors such as Jeong Man-sik, Kim Byung-chun, Hong Ye-ji, Park Se-hyun, Seo Jae-woo and Woo Jung-guk, and has established a position in the entertainment industry.

Targeting the 15 million companion population 'Pet+Family', Big Friends is introducing the world's first dog-only broadcast channel 'DOGTV' in Korea, creating a new trend in the pet content market.

On October 19th, various festivals are being planned to establish itself as an essential brand for pet families under the motto of 「Happiness" of companion and pet, and the second Yangju-si Pet Culture Festival 'By Mengnyang Market' will be held.

In addition, the acquisition of KOSDAQ-listed Sol Defense will play a decisive role in the merger and business expansion, combining the growth of the pet market and the influence of entertainment contents to show new convergence projects and various synergies.
