Entertainment platform PLFIL has announced the signing of an exclusive contract with Go Won (real name Park Chaewon), former member of K-pop group LOONA.
 
 
Go Won debuted as a member of LOONA in 2018, winning the hearts of fans worldwide with her gentle presence and refreshing charm. After winning an exclusive contract dispute with her former agency in 2025, she has been preparing for a new chapter. Even during her hiatus, she maintained consistent communication with fans through social media. Through her partnership with PLFIL, Go Won plans to showcase new sides of herself across music, acting, and global activities.
 
 
PLFIL began as Korea's largest actor casting platform and has since evolved into a comprehensive talent discovery and management platform. With over 15,000 registered actors and thousands of production companies, advertising agencies, and entertainment agencies using its services, PLFIL made headlines in 2024 by managing Olympic shooter Kim Ye-ji's global activities—securing major partnerships including Balenciaga global campaigns, Tesla brand partnership, Riot Games Valorant partnership, and Samsung Galaxy endorsements. The company also proved its talent development model by growing YouTube web drama actor Jang Yong-won into a successful commercial actor.
 

 
PLFIL's management operates on principles different from traditional agencies. All casting offers and career decisions are discussed together with artists, with final decision-making power resting with the artists themselves. PLFIL aims to serve as a supporter and consultant for its artists.
 
 
PLFIL CEO Minguk You stated, "We feel a deep sense of responsibility that Go Won has chosen PLFIL. Based on transparent settlements, respect for artist decision-making, and flexible contract structures, we will work together to expand Go Won's diverse possibilities in music, acting, and global activities."
Go Won shared, "I'm grateful to have found a wonderful partnership and begin anew. Thank you to the fans who have waited so long—I look forward to connecting with you through various activities ahead.“
 
 
Meanwhile, PLFIL continues to present a new alternative to the traditional exclusive contract-centered entertainment industry through its platform-based transparent entertainment business.
