CJ ENM

CJ ENM Co., Ltd (, CJ Entertainment aNd Merchandising) is a South Korean entertainment and retail company founded in 1994.

CJ ENM was established as a result of the merger of two CJ Group subsidiaries, CJ E&M and CJ O Shopping respectively, on July 1, 2018.[3][4]

In 2020, the company established a first look deal with Warner Horizon.[5]

In early December 2021, CJ ENM has partnered with ViacomCBS (now Paramount Skydance) for bringing Paramount+ into TVING along with co-production in future projects.[6]

In January 2022, CJ ENM bought a majority stake of Endeavor Content and changed the name to Fifth Season[7] in September 2022. In December 2023, Japanese film company Toho, through its subsidiary Toho International, announced its intent to acquire 25% of Fifth Season for $225 million.[8]

In February 2026, following the successful Bugonia film based on Jang Joon-hwan's Save the Green Planet!, CJ ENM partners with Konami Group and Electronic Arts to produce and collaborate indie anthology films while focused on Metal Gear and Silent Hill series during the PlayStation's State of Play program.[9][10]
