HYBE JAPAN establishes new label JCONIC, aoen to join; &TEAM to remain with YX LABELS
HYBE JAPAN has established a new label, "JCONIC," with the philosophy of "creating icons that symbolize the era from Japan."
Based on its "HYBE 2.0" strategy for further growth as a global entertainment company, HYBE is promoting its "Multi-home, Multi-genre" strategy of developing businesses tailored to the culture and characteristics of each region. Building on this policy, HYBE JAPAN is moving forward with establishing an independent multi-label system, and the creation of JCONIC is a key initiative at its core.
The new company, JCONIC, established on January 1, will reportedly focus on developing and producing artists who are memorable in all aspects—music, visuals, philosophy, and presence—by integrating the areas of strategy, production, and management, founded on Japan's unique aesthetics, precision, and school of thought. With the establishment of the new company, HYBE JAPAN's multi-label system has also been restructured. The organization that previously housed both &TEAM and aoen was split into separate corporations as of January 1.
Han Hyon-rock, President and CEO of HYBE JAPAN, will continue to serve as President of YX LABELS, home to &TEAM. Meanwhile, aoen will join JCONIC. For JCONIC's management structure, Kenji Shima has been appointed President and JEFF MIYAHARA as Chief Creative Officer, with the aim of strengthening and growing a business foundation optimized for the Japanese market and audience.
