JKN Global Group Public Company Limited (formerly known as STGCP, JKN Living and JKN Global Media[1]) is a Thai multinational conglomerate founded by Jakkaphong Jakrajutatip. Its headquarters are in the JKN Empire building in Samut Prakan, Thailand. It comprises numerous businesses in various industries of foods, beverages, content distribution, cosmetics, health products, home shopping, energy drinks, entertainment, events, film, mass media, personal care, television advertisements, and television programs.[2][3][4]
JKN Global Group owns the television networks – JKN18, JKN Dramax and JKN-CNBC (in collaboration with Comcast's NBCUniversal),[5][6][7] the notable beauty pageants – Miss Universe, Miss USA, and Miss Teen USA,[8][9] and the home shopping JKN Hi Shopping (in collaboration with Hyundai Home Shopping Network).[10]
In November 2023, JKN Global Group PCL filed for bankruptcy. Facing significant financial challenges, the firm submitted a petition for "business rehabilitation" to Thailand’s bankruptcy court. JKN, led by CEO Anne Jakapong Jakrajutatip, missed a crucial $12 million loan repayment deadline, prompting the bankruptcy filing. Despite this setback, JKN plans to continue operating and prioritizing the Miss Universe 2023.[11][12][13]
