Actors Cha Tae-hyun and Zo In-sung have established a new management agency, Base Camp Company, marking a fresh start in their careers based on over two decades of friendship and trust.

The two stars announced the new management company's founding on Friday, choosing the name to symbolize a reliable foundation for artists — just as a base camp is essential for scaling a mountain or embarking on an expedition.

The agency is staffed by team members who have worked closely with both actors over a long period. Their shared history and mutual trust are expected to guide the agency’s future endeavors.

Through the new agency, Cha and Zo expressed their intention to continue focusing on their craft, remaining grounded and committed to delivering meaningful performances in quality projects.

Cha is currently appearing in the tvN variety show "Handsome Guys," while Zo recently wrapped filming for the movies "Hope" and "Humint."
