EXPG ENTERTAINMENT

Introduction

EXPG ENTERTAINMENT (Korean: EXPG 엔터테인먼트, Japanese: EXPGエンターテインメント), formerly known as EXPG Studio, is the comprehensive name of all public talent schools (schools for performing arts) established by LDH that train people who want to become artists in the field of dancing, singing, acting or modelling. The name "EXPG" is an acronym for "EXILE Professional Gym", deriving from its founders. The first EXPG Studio opened in October 2003 in Tokyo and since then the schools have expanded around the globe. There are currently 12 schools at different locations in Japan, 3 schools located in other countries (2 in the USA and 1 in Taiwan) and an online school (opened in 2018). In 2015, the EXPG division spun off to form its own subsidiary within LDH called expg Inc. The representative director and CEO of the subsidiary is Yasushi Kijima while EXILE AKIRA and Charisma Kantaro (Kanda Kantaro) are involved as directors. On June 1, 2021, it was announced that the EXPG STUDIO would be expanding globally and be renamed as EXPG ENTERTAINMENT. The plans included the opening of a new branch in Shanghai with EXILE AKIRA serving as honorary principal / chief art director.
