Out of the four departments in CJ E&M (broadcast, film, music, performance), the music department had the greatest increase in sales. 'Produce 101' season 2 boy group Wanna One and 'Show Me The Money 6' are the factors that played major roles in the increase.

In comparison to Q3 of 2016, the music department saw a 40% (YoY) increase in sales and 179.6% increase (YoY) in operating profit.


A strong 'Wanna One Effect' is once again expected in the 4th quarter of 2017 for CJ E&M with the boy group's impending comeback with '1-1=0 Nothing Without You'.
