Source-derived summary

Highline Entertainment (Korean: 하이라인 엔터테인먼트) is a South Korean entertainment company founded in 2017 and a subsidiary of Starship Entertainment.

History

In 2017, Starship Entertainment launched another subsidiary label House of Music, which focused on recruiting smaller, independent artists, with MoonMoon being the first signed under the label. In 2018, Starship renamed the label "Highline Entertainment".

In 2018, DJ Soda signed with Highline after "House of Music" was defunct.

In January 2019, Highline signed Jang Seok-hoon, previously a member of the hip hop scene super rookie Balming Tiger.

In April, Highline signed Mnet's High School Rapper 3 contestant PLUMA.

In 2020, Starship began expanding Highline, with a focus on artists who are prominent in subculture.

In April, they signed artist Wonho, previously a member of the boy group Monsta X, to the label, who debuted in September.

In September, they announced that singer Yoo Seung-woo had signed to the label. This moved him from Starship's acoustic sublabel "Starship Y", which brought that label to an end, as Yoo was the only artist on the label.

In August 2021, Highline sent You Da-yeon to participate in the survival program Girls Planet 999.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Highline Entertainment” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Highline, Entertainment and South provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q108471160. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
