Time Fengjun Entertainment (Beijing Time Fengjun Culture and Art Development Co., Ltd.) is a Chinese entertainment company based in Beijing. Besides talent management, it produces films, television series, music and variety shows. The company is known for managing boy groups such as TFBoys, TNT and the group T.O.P, and it operates a trainee training organization called TF Family. Its activities have drawn public attention for a series of legal and fan-related disputes.
Founding and training
Time Fengjun was registered in Beijing in 2009. The same year it set up the trainee training organization TF Family in Chongqing, which has supplied performers for the company's boy groups. Alongside talent management, the company has expanded into film, television, music and variety programming, linking its artists to a range of productions.
Disputes and controversies
The company has faced several controversies. In 2017, fans accused it of fraud over ticket sales for an anniversary concert, and a contract dispute with a former trainee went to arbitration and then to court. A court later ruled that a rival company's social media post amounted to commercial defamation against Time Fengjun. Voting events and ticket sales in 2020 also drew criticism from fan clubs.
