History

[edit]

Plan A Entertainment

[edit]

In 2011, A Cube Entertainment was established as an independent label of Cube Entertainment. A Cube signed its first solo artist Huh Gak[1] and launched girl group Apink, which was made up from former Cube Entertainment trainees.

In November 2015, LOEN Entertainment (later Kakao M and then Kakao Entertainment) acquired 70% of the entire label and subsequently absorbed it as an independent subsidiary. The label announced in March 2016 that it has been renamed Plan A Entertainment since it was no longer affiliated with Cube Entertainment.[2] It launched its first boy group Victon in November that year.

In early 2018, Plan A Entertainment acquired Kakao M's actor agency E&T Story Entertainment, owning 60% of the agency's shares. In the following months, Choi Jin-ho (founder and co-CEO) resigned and 30% of the remaining shares were sold for 3.51 billion won. As a result, it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Kakao M.[3]

Fave Entertainment

It was spun-off as a separate subsidiary label in 2016 and renamed Fave Entertainment.[4][5] Artists who were transferred to Fave Entertainment included Fiestar, History, IU and Sunny Hill.[6][7] Its trainees have notably featured in MIXNINE, Under Nineteen, and Produce 101. In October 2018, the label announced its upcoming girl group, temporarily known as "Fave Girls".[8]

2019–present: Merged agency named to IST Entertainment

[edit]

On February 13, 2019, Kakao Entertainment released a statement that Plan A Entertainment and Fave Entertainment would be merging on April 1.[9][10] Plan A Entertainment, being the surviving entity in the merger, was renamed Play M Entertainment[11] and absorbed Fave Entertainment's assets and remaining artists, including trainees.[12]

In May 2020, it was announced that "Fave Girls", who became "Play M Girls" following the merger, would be debuting in June as Weeekly.[13] It is the company's first girl group since Apink.[14]

On September 17, 2021, Kakao Entertainment announced that Play M Entertainment and Cre.ker Entertainment would be merging in the future.[15]

On November 12, 2021, it was announced that the company's new corporate name would be IST Entertainment, which took in effect on November 1.[16]

On February 7, 2022, IST Entertainment announced the debut of a new boy group in the second half of the year through a reality competition show, The Origin – A, B, Or What?. The show premiered on March 19, 2022.[17] On the finale episode aired on May 7, 2022, it was announced that the final 7 will debut as ATBO, and will debut in July 27.[18]
