BC, Dimensions, and Gold Star to open new “culture complex”

BC Entertainment, Dimensions Entertainment, and Gold Star Media have made their business partnership official on several occasions in recent years, including the introduction of their Triple Fantasy concerts featuring the rosters of all three companies and, most recently, the opening of base, a multi-media platform created to encourage collaboration and cross-company innovation. The trio have now been reported to be making a physical representation of their partnership.

A building under construction in Gangnam was recently reported to be another joint project between the three companies. The building will allegedly be turned into a “culture complex” utilized by all three companies, according the reports from insiders from the three companies. The building will include exclusive merchandise, a museum that will house the history of Hallyu as shaped by the three companies, including exclusive behind the scenes videos, real stage outfits on display, and never before seen photos. The complex is also stated to include multiple theaters for performances, a gift ship, a cafe, and even an unspecified implementation of virtual reality to help fans feel closer to their idols. According to sources, the project has been kept top secret up until now.

When reached for comment, BC, Dimensions, and Gold Star declined to comment, but since, a teaser image has been uploaded on base social media accounts with only a computer-generated image of a building that shares a resemblance to the one under construction in Gangnam and the words: base Culture Complex: coming soon.

[NEWS] Dimensions Entertainment acquires company, announces new 2020 solo debut

Dimensions Entertainment has announced today that they recently acquired Z Entertainment, a small company home to a handful of budding music producers and one artist: the former main vocal of now-disbanded girl group Sapphire. Dimensions Entertainment has confirmed the producers will be joining their in-house team and that they will now be taking control of the solo debut of Sapphire’s former main vocal, while Z Entertainment as a separate entity will now cease to exist.

The former girl group member left her original company in January of 2019 following the expiration of her group’s contract along with the other five members of the group. Despite debuting in 2011 and becoming a popular member of her group due to her success in drama soundtracks, she never made a solo debut while Sapphire was still active. After signing with Z Entertainment in 2019, she released the pop version of “Into The Unknown” for Frozen 2′s Korean release. According to inside sources, she began  working on her solo debut with Dimensions Entertainment last month and is considered a priority for the company this year.

In a statement to the press, a representative for Dimensions Entertainment was quoted as saying, “In addition to the new members of Dimensions Entertainment’s top-tier music production team, Dimensions Entertainment is also happy to welcome her into our Dimensions United family for the next step of her career. She has already proven her talents through drama soundtracks, and we hope to help lead her on her way to showing more sides of herself.”

Sources state Dimensions is planning an April debut.

[+1,756, -92] finally! your fans have been waiting loyally for you!

[+1,401, -126] i hope she will come back as the best version of herself

[+1,122, -39] dimensions? but she has a bc voice and a gold star image ㅜㅜ i hope she knows what she’s doing ㅜㅜ

[+703, -68] dimensions is splurging. a new building soon and an established idol as their next solo debut

[+330, -52] she’s a weird fit if you think of gal.actic or alien, but their other female soloist has been successful for a long time and their male soloist and lucid have really good rookie personalities

Founded in 2002, Dimensions Entertainment has had a bumpy ride to becoming one of the top entertainment companies in South Korea. Recently, it has often been named the most creative and conceptual entertainment company, and even more impressively, the fastest growing company in the country. Industry experts have said its growth in an often stalling industry is not something to be taken for granted. Having secured its spot at the top in recent years, fans have been curious as to why the company has done little to acknowledge its fifteen year anniversary so far in 2017.

When asked, a representative for the company stated, “We cannot confirm or deny any reports at this time, but for its fifteenth year and beyond, Dimensions is striving to push itself forward and embrace new frontiers. Dimensions plans for the rest of the year exemplify this mission and we hope to share our excitement at experiencing fifteen years of hard work by our staff and artists.” 

With Dimensions Entertainment’s founding date anniversary drawing nearer, the Dimensions representative hinted that we may be hearing more of them very soon.

[NEWS] Men’s groups withdraws injunction against Gal.actic

On the evening on April 15, Dimensions Entertainment held a press conference addressing the injunction that had been filed against their girl group Gal.actic by a men’s group, citing reasons of ill intent towards members of the military and lyrics and imagery that are harmful to the youth of the country. Gal.actic was removed from a festival performance for the South Korean troops following the controversy.

Following the press conference, it was announced the men’s group had withdrawn their injunction. Dimensions Entertainment stated, “It has been revealed that the injunction initially filed against our company on February 12 has been withdrawn after much discussion and negotiation between both parties. Gal.actic will be happy to continue to support the South Korean troops in the future.” Dimensions Entertainment also added that Gal.actic is excited to meet with their fans at a mini fanmeeting on the 21st of this month.

The men’s group issued a statement following the one from Dimensions Entertainment, stating, “We have withdrawn our injunction. We are thankful to the representatives and legal team of Dimensions Entertainment who spoke to us openly and heard our side during our negotiations.”

[1,411, -39] i’m glad that’s all finally over. it was all media play for both sides.

[+921, -307] men who are saying they can’t be fans of gal.actic anymore weren’t fans of them in the first place ㅋㅋ

[+512, -104] if the members show they’ve learned and support the military now, they should be forgiven

[+425, -91] the men’s group shouldn’t have given in. as a member of the military, i can’t support gal.actic anymore
