B2M Entertainment
B2M Entertainment (Hangul: B2M 엔터테인먼트) is a South Korean management agency and music label founded in 2010 by Gil Jong-hwa based in Seoul, South Korea. B2M recording artists include Kim Kyu Jong and Nicole Jung.
History
B2M Entertainment was originally found as Gil Entertainment. The company changed its name to B2M Entertainment right after Lee Hyori joined in. The company was found in 2010 by Gil Jong-hwa, who formerly worked for DSP Media, handling the management of several artists including Sechs Kies, Fin.K.L, SS501 and Kara.
Kpop superstar Lee Hyori left Mnet Media in early 2010 and joined B2M Entertainment to work with Gil Jong-hwa who had been Fin.K.L's co-manager and had worked with the group since its debut. Heo Young-Saeng and Kim Kyu-Jong from the successful boy group SS501 left DSP Media upon expiration of their contract and joined B2M Entertainment in the same year.
Spica was formed by B2M Entertainment in January 2012, consisting of 5 members: Kim Bo-A (leader, main vocal), Kim Bo-Hyung (lead vocal), Park Si-Hyun (rapper, sub vocal), Park Na-Rae (vocal, visual), and Ji-Won (vocal, visual). On January 31, 2012, B2M Entertainment officially announced that the group would have their formal debut with a mini-album, titled Russian Roulette. A music video teaser for "Russian Roulette" was released the following day. The full-length music video was released on February 7, 2012.

Beta-2 microglobulin
β2 microglobulin also known as B2M is a component of MHC class I molecules, which are present on all nucleated cells (excludes red blood cells). In humans, the β2 microglobulin protein is encoded by the B2M gene.
Structure and function
β2 microglobulin lies beside the α3 chain on the cell surface. Unlike α3, β2 has no transmembrane region. Directly above β2 (that is, further away from the cell) lies the α1 chain, which itself is next to the α2.
β2 microglobulin associates not only with the alpha chain of MHC class I molecules, but also with class I-like molecules such as CD1 and Qa.
An additional function is association with the HFE protein, together regulating the expression of hepcidin in the liver which targets the iron transporter ferroportin on the cytoplasmic membrane of enterocytes and macrophages for degradation resulting in decreased iron uptake from food and iron release from recycled red blood cells respectively. Loss of this function causes iron excess and hemochromatosis.
Entertainment
Entertainment is a form of activity that holds the attention and interest of an audience, or gives pleasure and delight. It can be an idea or a task, but is more likely to be one of the activities or events that have developed over thousands of years specifically for the purpose of keeping an audience's attention. Although people's attention is held by different things, because individuals have different preferences in entertainment, most forms are recognisable and familiar. Storytelling, music, drama, dance, and different kinds of performance exist in all cultures, were supported in royal courts, developed into sophisticated forms and over time became available to all citizens. The process has been accelerated in modern times by an entertainment industry which records and sells entertainment products. Entertainment evolves and can be adapted to suit any scale, ranging from an individual who chooses a private entertainment from a now enormous array of pre-recorded products; to a banquet adapted for two; to any size or type of party, with appropriate music and dance; to performances intended for thousands; and even for a global audience.
Entertainment!
Entertainment! is the debut album by English post-punk band Gang of Four, released in September 1979. This album was released on EMI in the UK and on Warner Bros. in the US.
The music on the first album shows clearly the influence of punk, yet also incorporates funk and less-obvious influences of reggae and dub, similar to other bands at the time such as Public Image Ltd., Pere Ubu, and The Pop Group. As with these other influential post-punk bands, the bass is mixed much more prominently than it typically is in rock or punk.
The album has attracted praise from rock musicians. Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers stated that the first time he heard the record, "It completely changed the way I looked at rock music and sent me on my trip as a bass player." In 2003, the album was ranked number 490 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 2012, the album ranked at No. 483 on a revised list by the magazine. In March 2005, Q magazine placed the track "At Home He's a Tourist" at number 52 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks.
