BEATS Entertainment

BEATS Entertainment (비츠엔터테인먼트) is a South Korean independent hip-hop entertainment label founded in January 2021 in Gangnam, Seoul. Led by CEO KIGGEN, a veteran of the Korean underground hip-hop scene, the company was built to bring authentic rap and street-music production into the mainstream K-pop market.

The label gained its highest-profile foothold through a co-production partnership with DSP Media, launching YOUNG POSSE in October 2023. The collaboration gave the five-member girl group its sonic identity: sharp hip-hop production, uncompromising street aesthetics, and a refusal to chase the polished girl-crush formulas that saturate the 5th-generation landscape. BEATS Entertainment handles creative and production direction while DSP manages distribution and operations.

Through 2024 and into 2025, YOUNG POSSE built a consistent release cadence that expanded the group's fanbase both domestically and internationally. Their 2026 comeback single VISA, performed on Show Champion in February 2026, demonstrated continued creative momentum under BEATS' direction, with KIGGEN maintaining the label's signature blend of aggressive production and street-credible aesthetics. BEATS Entertainment has established itself as one of the more distinct and uncompromising creative voices operating behind the scenes in contemporary K-pop.
