The six agencies manage stars such as Ju Ji-hoon, Choi Kang-hee, Jang Dong-gun, Hyun Bin, Shin Min-a, Soo Ae, BoA, Big Bang, Rain, Wonder Girls, 2PM and miss A.

"UAM consisting of the six agencies is designed to meet the needs of an international agency to lay a foundation for the Asian Wave beyond the Korean Wave and to build networks as well as a casting system within Asia",Keyeast said.

UAM will play the role of a global agency to manage the artists belonging to the six agencies, working to protect their rights, build a database system via online media and extend more content-based business related to films and dramas.
