KPOP Meaning
Ent. or ENT is short for Entertainment, which ends many Korean agency names such as JYP Entertainment. Articles shorten it, as in "JYP Ent.", which a 2019 Korean business news article used throughout its text. That article reported that JYP Ent. had overtaken its rivals to rank first in market value among the three big agencies, and it also wrote "JYP엔터". Korean clips the word to 엔터 (enteo) as well; the same article calls agency shares 엔터주 ("ent stocks") and the three big agencies 엔터 3사.
Usage
Used in agency names, e.g. "signed to ___ Ent.". Korean business news also uses the clipped form 엔터, as in 엔터주 for agency shares.
Examples
- JYP Entertainment may be shortened to "JYP Ent." in articles.
- A 2019 Korean business article calls agency shares "enteo-ju" (ent stocks).
