4nologue Co., Ltd. (Thai: บริษัท โฟร์โนล็อค จำกัด) (branded as 4NOLOGUE) is a Thai media company based in Bangkok. The company was founded in 2007 by Anuwat Wichiennarat, who serves as its CEO. The company began its operations as an event organizer, but from 2018 to 2024 also branched into talent management, television, and music production.[1]

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]
