KQ Entertainment was founded in 2016 and is best known as the agency behind ATEEZ - one of the most successful 4th generation K-pop boy groups. ATEEZ has achieved remarkable global recognition despite KQ being an independent label, demonstrating that well-managed indie acts can compete directly with Big 4 groups. Their debut through the KQ Fellaz training reality show, followed by their concept-rich debut, set a new standard for storytelling in K-pop.
