박진영 제이튠엔터테인먼트에 최대주주 입성, 비와 재결합

박진영과 비가 다시 뭉친다.

JYP 엔터테인먼트측은 27일 "최근 제이튠엔터테인먼트가 JYP 프로듀서인 박진영에게 제 3자 배정, 경영 등을 제안함으로써 논의가 시작됐다"고 설명했다.

또한 비가 내년 군대에 입대할 때까지 가수와 배우 등 연예인으로서 활동에만 집중하고 싶다며 JYP 엔터테인먼트에게 회사의 경영을 맡아 줄 것을 요청했다고 덧붙였다.

현 JYP 엔터테인먼트의 주주들 역시 비와 동일한 제안을 해 와 검토 끝에 JYP 엔터테인먼트의 제이튠 엔터테인먼트제3자 배정이 성사됐다.

JYP는 이에 앞으로 비가 연예계 활동을 하는데 지장이 없도록 적극 지원할 예정이다.
