KPlus (Korean: 케이플러스) is a South Korean model and actors management company established by fashion model-turned-CEO Go Eun-kyung in 2008.
History
K-Plus was founded by former model Go Eun-kyung in 2008 to train future models and fashion industry professionals.
In February 2014, K-Plus signed a contract for strategic partnership and share investment with talent agency YG Entertainment and finalised the merger with a new name called "YG KPLUS" in September. Go's former protege model-turned-actor Cha Seung-won would be training K-Plus models to become future actors.
In September 2014, top model Kang Seung-hyun signed a contract with YGKPlus.
In June 2017, for the first time in Vietnam's Next Top Model, starting from All-stars' cycle onwards, the winner will receive this contract for him/her to include in the roster list of models.
In May 2022, Chorokbaem Media acquired 50% of the company's shares. On August 22, 2022, it was announced that the company would change its name from YGKPLUS to KPLUS after the acquisition, while still collaborating with YG in the future.
