Song Ji-eun (Shannen)

Song Ji-eun, often surfaced in business coverage as Shannen Song, is one of the executives shaping JYP Japan and ONE Label inside the wider JYP Entertainment system. The official JYP Japan online-store disclosure names her as president and representative director, which gives her page a rare kind of public-paperwork clarity that many music executives never get.

That role matters because JYP's Japan business is not a side office. It is one of the company's most important market engines, supporting fan commerce, local execution, and long-term infrastructure around artists including TWICE, Stray Kids, NiziU, NEXZ, and 2PM. Shannen sits where artist strategy has to become an actual market-facing business.

Her visibility rose again in 2026 when Billboard Women in Music recognized her in the labels, distributors, and artist services field. That recognition underlined a broader shift in K-pop: the executives building durable overseas systems now shape the story almost as much as the artists at the front of it.
