A-Man Project

A-Man Project (에이맨프로젝트) is a South Korean entertainment company founded on March 5, 2018, by actor Lee Jong-suk after departing YG Entertainment. The founding followed a brief period under YNK Entertainment, where Lee signed in 2017 but terminated his contract within months to establish his own operation. A-Man Project launched initially as a talent management agency, handling Lee Jong-suk's acting career and early talent signings. Lee Jong-suk had built one of the most sustained run of hit dramas in Korean television by the time he founded the company. He debuted as a runway model in 2005, becoming the youngest male model to walk the runway at Seoul Fashion Week at the time, before transitioning fully to acting. His drama credits include "School 2013," "I Can Hear Your Voice" (2013), "Doctor Stranger" (2014), "Pinocchio" (2014), "W" (2016), "While You Were Sleeping" (2017), and "Big Mouth" (2022). Each title added to an accumulated audience that gave him significant leverage when forming his own management structure. In 2022, A-Man Project signed a strategic agreement with Hijium Studio, transferring management operations to Hijium while retaining its content production arm. The company now focuses on drama and film development. A-Man Project maintains a production partnership with Bon Factory Worldwide and ACE FACTORY, a shared-universe romantic drama project starring Lee Jong-suk and Lee Joon-hyuk. The company has also maintained a relationship with HiSTORY D&C, production company behind "While You Were Sleeping" and "Start-Up."
