C-JeS Studios (formerly known asC-JeS Entertainment) is a South Korean entertainment company established in 2009 that handles the management of various artists.
The agency was established to meet the management needs ofJaejoong,Junsu andYoochun, former members ofTVXQ, after the trio filed a lawsuit against their former record label,S.M. Entertainment. The singers met Baek Chang-jou in mid-2009, not long after they filed the lawsuit. C-JeS was established shortly after that. Baek has directly said in the interview that C-JeS was established solely because of JYJ. Baek invested heavily in building the newly created band,JYJ's image and credibility after the Korean entertainment industry closed its doors on the artists perceived as "rebels" for going against their previous management.[1][2]
On 8 March 2013, actorLee Jung-jae signed on to be exclusively managed by C-JeS Entertainment. He reportedly chose C-Jes after working withSong Ji-hyo in movieNew World.[3]
^While no official disbandment or departure has been announced, the group's artist page was removed from the C-JeS website in 2022, signifying the group is no longer active under the label.
