How it's used
This term is specifically reserved for the entertainment industry, referring to someone who handles the career, schedule, and public image of performers. It carries a more professional and industry-specific nuance than the general term for a business manager, which is usually just referred to as 經理.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with a general business manager or a store manager, who are simply called 經理. Using 經理人 for a corporate role sounds unnatural and implies they are managing a celebrity.
