Content production company SLL officially announced the establishment of a new music label 'UNCORE' in collaboration with YG PLUS on the 12th, marking a significant expansion into the music business beyond its existing production of dramas, films, and entertainment content.
'UNCORE' is an idol-specialized agency established under SLL, focusing on music content production, performance planning, and distribution of digital music and albums. YG PLUS will support the expansion of global fandom and systematic domestic and international activities.
The first artist of 'UNCORE' will be the debut group formed by the final seven selected contestants from the survival audition 'PROJECT 7', currently airing on JTBC, with management activities set to begin in the first half of 2025, expanding into music, albums, performances, and even IP business.
Additionally, 'UNCORE' plans to strengthen its competitiveness as a K-POP entertainment agency through follow-up broadcasting projects and its own rookie development.
An SLL representative stated, "The establishment of UNCORE will be a significant stepping stone for SLL to grow from its existing drama production and distribution-centered business structure into a global IP powerhouse," adding, "We will internalize our music business capabilities and continuously secure artists through follow-up projects."
Meanwhile, the label name 'UNCORE' is inspired by a term related to microprocessors that must be closely connected to the core for high performance. This reflects the intention to view fandom as the 'Core' of the music business and to fulfill an important role between fans and artists.
