History
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". Jumper, however, disbanded soon after the release of their second single. A year later, Teen Top debuted, followed by 100% in 2012, and Up10tion in 2015. 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. In January 2022, Teen Top members Niel and Changjo's contracts expired. In March 2023, the contracts of several members of Up10tion expired. On May 11, C.A.P. left Teen Top and terminated his contract with TOP Media. On March 5, 2024, Kim Woo-seok's contract expired. On November 1, the company debuted their first girl group Odd Youth.
