IX Entertainment
IX Entertainment (IX엔터테인먼트) is a South Korean independent record label and entertainment agency founded in 2023. Originally launched as BK Entertainment (BK엔터테인먼트), the company rebranded on May 7, 2024, expanding its roster and positioning itself as a home for artists bridging K-pop and global alternative music.
The label operates under the Korean government's Popular Culture and Arts Agency Business framework and built its international pipeline through an audition program conducted in partnership with Juang Jing International Vocational School in Taiwan. That program produced core members of V01D, the label's flagship five-member band.
V01D debuted on March 11, 2026, with the mini album [01], preceded by the pre-release single "ROCKROCK" (樂樂) on March 3. The group includes members Jo Juyeon, Kevin Park, Jung Jiseob, Song Uchan, and Shinnosuke, blending rock instrumentation with K-pop production. V01D has attracted significant attention as a label debut, with members boasting average height exceeding 180cm.
Beyond V01D, IX Entertainment's roster includes K-indie soloist KAYA, Shin Eui Jin, YUL2, Fujimaki Taiga, Lynn Lynn, Kevin Park, and Taishrhau, covering solo and group formats across genres. The label's global audition pipeline and international member strategy reflect an emerging model in Korean entertainment: building acts designed from inception for cross-border audiences.
