Having announced his retirement from acting, Jang Dong-ju is launching a new chapter as an entrepreneur and creator, now fully embarking on preparations for the initial public offering (IPO) of Prior Group Co., which he leads.

On the 21st, Jang Dong-ju told StarNews that Prior Group has formulated a medium-to-long-term growth strategy for its IPO and is actively strengthening its business competitiveness.

Jang explained, "Building on his experience in content and entertainment gained through acting, as well as his background in academy and agency operations, he is expanding the concretization of businesses while broadening Prior Group's portfolio to include investments, cultural arts, and space-related ventures."

According to him, Prior Group operates several subsidiaries, including Prior Investment, Prior Stay, Calling Art Center, Kwangdae Acting Academy, and D2J Seongsu. The group plans to strengthen synergies across businesses by leveraging the expertise of each subsidiary.

It is reported that Jang has received hands-on training in corporate management and organizational operations from his father, who has operated World General Construction for decades. Based on this experience, he has maintained a consistent interest in corporate growth strategies, investments, and business expansion alongside his acting career.

Prior Group stated, "We are currently solidifying our existing businesses while actively seeking external investments."

The group intends to expand investments in high-growth potential new ventures and content-related projects, strengthening its business competitiveness through collaborations with strategic partners and investors.

Aggressive M&A (mergers and acquisitions) is also being pursued as a key growth strategy. The company plans to strategically review acquisitions and investments in businesses that can generate synergies with its existing operations in content, entertainment, cultural arts, investment, space, and accommodation, gradually expanding the group's scale and business portfolio.
