History

TOP Media was founded as ND Entertainment (New Dream Entertainment) by Andy and his former long-time manager at SM Entertainment, Lee Jae-hong, in 2005. In 2009, the company debuted Jumper, a male pop duo, who released two singles, "Yes!" and "Dazzling" (Korean: 눈이부셔). Jumper, however, disbanded soon after the release of their second single. A year later, Teen Top[4] debuted, followed by 100%[5] in 2012, and Up10tion in 2015.[6]

The company's newest boy group, MCND, debuted on February 27, 2020 with the EP Into the Ice Age. On October 9, 2021, 100% disbanded after the remaining members' contracts expired and they left the company.[7] In January 2022, Teen Top members Niel and Changjo's contracts expired. In March 2023, the contracts of several members of Up10tion expired.[8][9] On May 11, C.A.P. left Teen Top and terminated his contract with TOP Media.[10] On March 5, 2024, Kim Woo-seok's contract expired. On November 1, the company debuted their first girl group Odd Youth.
