Hello Pancakeysshi! I hope you don't mind me editing the contents and info into boxes. I've also left the original content in the

codes. You can always adjust it back if you'd like. I just thought this would make the page look neater and less empty :) See you around!
Hello. I updated a few things on the page and have some discussion items, as well. Andy is not the CEO; it is Lee Jae-hong. Also, the company appears to have been founded in 2005, but it's hard to pin down specifics. On the ND Enter site, the news announcements begin on May 5, 2005 with a "welcome to TOP Media" message ( [1]). Messages later in 2005 and 2006 talk about Seo Min-woo's activities and such. The page is also copyrighted to 2005/TOP Media. Korean Wikipedia also lists the founding as 2005, not that it's a reliable source. However, I can't find any news stories predating 2007 about TOP...
Also, I don't think the company was called ND Entertainment when it was founded; it appears to have been TOP all along. News stories in Korean media announcing the founding of ND Entertainment begin in 2007 ( [2]), which corresponds to another news story on ND's site announcing opening of ND's website as Andy's personal site ( [3]). These stories mention TOP and it sounds (according to my crappy Korean) as though TOP already existed. Andy's first album, New Dream (2007), lists TOP and ND under the copyright. News stories for ND stopped appearing in 2008, and Andy's second album, Single Man (2009), lists only TOP for copyright. I know nowadays media stories always call TOP Andy's management company. However, currently the ND website is obviously alive and well and functioning solely as Andy's personal site. Long story short, I don't really know what ND is exactly, but I don't think it was the original name of TOP. A lot of content from older versions of the site(s) and older news stories are long gone. So yeah, that's what I've discovered in my feeble research efforts. I'd love contributions from anyone who has additional info/corrections! :) Shinyang-i ( talk) 08:03, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
