Glam

Source Music was founded on November 17, 2009 by So Sung-jin, who was a former talent manager at SM Entertainment and president and chief executive officer of H2 Entertainment. In 2010, the label's first-ever artist, female soloist (and former Baby V.O.X member) Kan Mi-youn released her first digital single titled "Going Crazy".[2][3] The music video features Lee Joon and Mir from MBLAQ.[4] The song peaked at #11 on South Korea's national chart Gaon.

In 2012, Glam was formed. The group was a collaboration between Source Music and (future parent company) Big Hit Entertainment and consisted of members Dahee, Trinity, Zinni, Miso and Jiyeon. However, Trinity resigned before her debut due to personal reasons. The group was active until 2014 and was disbanded after Dahee was sentenced to one year imprisonment for a case of extortion against actor Lee Byung-hun. At that time, Glam's contract with Big Hit Entertainment ended. The members did not want to renew the contract, partly due to the Dahee scandal.[5]

2015–present

GFriend

In 2015, GFriend was formed. The group consisted of members Sowon, Yerin, Eunha, Yuju, SinB, and Umji.[6] They made their debut with the extended play Season of Glass on January 15, 2015.[7]

In July 2019, Hybe Corporation (formerly Big Hit Entertainment) acquired Source Music, making the company a subsidiary under Hybe Labels, Hybe Corp.'s subdivision of labels, and keeping its existing management and style.[8][9] In September 2019, it was revealed that a joint girl group between Source Music and Big Hit Music is expected to debut in 2021 from PLUS Global Audition.[10]

On March 22, 2021, Source Music, as well as the other labels part of Hybe Labels, moved to its new headquarters in the Yongsan Trade Center in the Yongsan District, the new headquarters of its parent company, Hybe Corporation.[11] On March 31, 2021, the official website of Source Music changed its physical address to the new building in Yongsan, Seoul.[12]

All of the GFriend members left the company on May 22, 2021 upon the completion of their six-year contract.[13][14]
