History

2019-present: Founding and first artists

Following Psy's departure from YG Entertainment in 2018, Psy founded his own entertainment company, P Nation. Psy announced the first artist signed to his label in January 2019, the rapper Jessi. Later that month P Nation signed Hyuna and Dawn, after their joint departure from Cube Entertainment.

Following the announcement of the establishment of P Nation, the stock of DI Corporation, owned by Psy's father, rose for eight consecutive days, despite the companies having no business connections.

In April, SK Telecom invested 5 billion won in the company as part of their content investment strategy, bringing their sharehold to ten percent. In June, P Nation signed the singer Crush.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “south Korean record label” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

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 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q61410007. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2018, 2026 and 2019.

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.
