History

The company was formed by Kim Shin-ae on March 23, 2017 as a food and beverage service company, operating the "8D Seoul Cafe" in Dosan Park Gangnam. Prior to founding 8D Creative, Kim had experience in founding the bakery goodovening (굿오브닝; later sold to a Japanese company) and the pizza chain Mick Jones's Pizza (믹존스 피자). The name "8D" is based on the :D (happy face) emoticon, which symbolizes both her experiences as a businesswoman and divorced single mom as well as her mission to create a "funky" workplace.[3]

8D Creative was later sold to ESV (now Kyungnam Pharm Healthcare), with Kim Shin-ae staying as president and CEO. The acquisition propelled the company's diversification to other industries including music and entertainment.

In 2018, 8D Creative trainee Kang Hye-won was sent to participate in the survival girl group television show Produce 48. She finished eighth and debuted as part of Iz*One.[4]
