About Starship Entertainment

Starship Entertainment is a mid-tier K-pop agency founded in 2009, known for launching several significant acts. The company became notable with SISTAR - one of K-pop's iconic girl groups of the 2010s, dubbed 'summer queens.' Starship later achieved major success with MONSTA X and their passionate international fanbase. In 2021, IVE debuted under the Starship label and rapidly became one of the defining 4th generation girl groups. Starship is now effectively part of the Kakao Entertainment network.
