What have we done so far and what will we do in the future? Here’s Everything About White Entertainment!
Founded in February 2021, White Entertainment is Türkiye’s first and only Korean-themed entertainment company.
We have been working non-stop since the day we were founded and we have been operating with different activities related to Korea. Moreover, we have partners in Korea, and our activities are followed from Korea and receive great interest and appreciation.
As Türkiye’s No. 1 Korea-focused entertainment company, take a look at what we have done so far and our future goals below!
Concerts and Fan Meetings:
The next stage of this adventure, which started when our founder Gülin Tarhan took Turkish fans to Korea for Actor Lee Min Ho’s fan meeting, was the Jung Il Woo online fan meeting. We had planned an online fan meeting for Turkish fans with actor Jung Il Woo in 2021. Although our event was canceled due to some events that took place in our country at that time, it managed to attract the attention of Korean fans.
In addition to these fan meetings, as the global ticket sales partner of the Red Angel World Cheering Online K-Pop concert; We offered Turkish K-pop fans the chance to attend online concerts featuring popular K-Pop artists such as Pentagon, Epex, The Boyz, Ikon, Itzy, and show themselves on the screen via Zoom.

K-Pop Parties:
In 2022, we developed the K-Pop Party format, a first in Türkiye. We offered our participants a wonderful Korean party experience with a DJ performance consisting of popular K-pop songs in this format, dance cover shows, stands where various Korean products are sold, Korean games, random dance, random karaoke, beautiful surprise draws, and colorful content about Korea.
K-Pop Parties, which we held for the first time in Istanbul on March 26, 2022, and which we continue to offer to K-pop lovers by constantly enriching and improving their content in the future, attracted great attention and became our signature event. We appealed to all kinds of K-pop lovers in Istanbul, Ankara, and Eskişehir by organizing K-Pop Party Night events that take place in the evening and have an age limit and alcohol sales, as well as the K-Pop Parties that take place during the daytime and have no age limit.
