Popular Actor Establishes His Own Company After Leaving YG Entertainment

According to OSEN, Kang Dong Won, a renowned figure in the Korean entertainment world, has branched out on his own. After parting ways with YG Entertainment last December, instead of joining an existing agency, Kang has established his independent agency, AA Group.

Kang’s departure from YG Entertainment made waves in the industry, with many speculating on his next move. The new venture answers that question in a grand manner. AA Group, as revealed, will not only handle the actor’s activities but might also venture into scouting new talent.

Furthermore, illustrating Kang’s multifaceted interests, he also revealed plans for running a production company. Kang’s profound interest in movie and drama scenarios’ development and production has given birth to this separate entity, broadening his footprint in the entertainment domain.

In more immediate news, fans of Kang Dong Won are eagerly waiting for his upcoming movie, Chun Doctor’s Exorcism Lab: The Secret of Snow Scene, slated for a September release.

The intriguing plot revolves around Dr. Cheon, a faux exorcist, skeptical about ghosts but possessing an almost ghostly insight. The film takes a thrilling turn when he confronts an unprecedented powerful case.

Despite becoming one of South Korea’s top actors, Kang’s beginnings were humble. During his early years, his father was met with financial constraints, thus Kang had to work part-time to fund his university education.

Gifted with an impressive IQ of 137, Kang pursued mechanical engineering and graduated from Hanyang University at Ansan. However, it was his foray into acting that catapulted him to nationwide recognition. His role in Temptation of Wolves in 2004 marked his major breakthrough, making him a household name not only in Korea but also extending his popularity across Asia, especially in Japan.

From portraying an inmate in Maundy Thursday to playing the antagonist in Voice of a Murderer, Kang’s cinematic journey is filled with versatile roles. Collaborations with notable director Lee Myung Se in films like Duelist and M further accentuated Kang’s esteemed position in Korean cinema, receiving accolades for his unique style and choices.

Today, with the establishment of AA Group, Kang Dong Won is all set to chart a new chapter in his illustrious career, and fans can’t wait to witness the magic he will bring forth in this new venture.
