History
4nologue was founded on 11 May 2007 by Anuwat Wichiennarat. The company initially specialized as an event/concert organizer for international artists performing in Thailand, especially K-pop bands including TVXQ, Big Bang and Got7. It operated at a loss during its first six years but began turning a profit in the seventh, after which it became more successful.[2]
In 2018, the company began branching into talent management and music production, launching the boy group Nine by Nine as a pilot project in association with Nadao Bangkok.[3][4] After the project concluded in 2019, the company debuted its new boy band Trinity, comprising four of Nine by Nine's members.[5]
Company CEO Anuwat planned to further develop Thai male and female idol groups and introduce them to international markets.[6][7]
On 29 February 2024, 4nologue announced the expiry of all Trinity members' contracts, as well as the termination of all its remaining artists. It would continue in the events organization business.[8]
