History

[edit]

2005–2021: Big Hit Entertainment

Big Hit Entertainment was founded on February 1, 2005,[5] and signed the trio 8Eight in 2007.[6] In 2010, the company signed a joint management contract with JYP Entertainment over the boy group 2AM.[7]

In 2012, the company signed Lim Jeong-hee,[8] and formed the girl group Glam as a collaboration with Source Music.[9] The group was active until 2014 when it was disbanded due to a controversy involving one of its members, Kim Da-hee—Kim was sentenced to prison after being found guilty of blackmailing actor Lee Byung-hun.[10][11][12]

Following the end of the joint contract between Big Hit and JYP in April 2014, three members of 2AM returned to JYP, while Lee Chang-min remained with Big Hit in order to continue with his solo career and as part of the duo Homme.[7] The year also saw the disbandment of 8Eight after Baek Chan and Joo Hee's contracts with Big Hit ended.[6] In May 2015, Lim Jeong-hee parted ways with the agency, following the expiration of her three-year contract.[8]

In February 2018, Homme disbanded after member Changmin's contract came to an end. He left the company to start his own agency, while Lee Hyun continued on as a solo artist.[13] and Big Hit debuted its second male group, Tomorrow X Together (TXT), in March 2019.[14]

2021–present: BigHit Music

[edit]

On March 19, 2021, Big Hit Entertainment announced that it had been renamed Hybe Corporation to emphasize its wider array of business units and ventures. With the change, the Big Hit record label was renamed BigHit Music .[15][16][17] On April 1, 2021, Hybe announced through a board resolution that it would separate the label business (BigHit Music) from Hybe and establish a new company with 100% of the stake held by Hybe.[18] On July 1, 2021, BigHit Music became a subsidiary of Hybe.[19]

Philanthropy

[edit]

In January 2017, Big Hit Entertainment donated ₩30 million to the 4/16 Sewol Families for Truth and A Safer Society, an organization connected to the families of the sinking of MV Sewol.[20]
