TN Nation Entertainment

TN Nation Entertainment (티엔 네이션 엔터테인먼트) is a South Korean entertainment company originally founded as a subsidiary of Envy Entertainment in 2002. After Tony Ahn decided to go his separate way from jtL, in 2004 he acquired the majority of the shares of TN Nation, becoming CEO. In 2012, Koen Group acquired and merged the entertainment division and changed the name to Koentien, and then to KOEN Stars. Koen's artists were transferred to TN Nation and began working as a single agency. In July 2017, TN authorities reached an agreement with IOK Company and IOK Company ended up buying more than 10% of the company's shares. In January 2018, 26 IOK artists were transferred to TN's subsidiary, WOORIDLE Company. After IOK acquired part of TN, Koen Group decided to break the deal it had with TN. Of the artists who were transferred, some stayed at KOEN Stars, while others remained under TN.
