In December 2015, S.M. Entertainment formed a strategic alliance and partnership with ESteem.[1] ESteem has sent some of its models to K-pop competition shows like Produce X 101 as representatives of both the ESteem model company and S.M. Entertainment, giving those models a chance to cross over into the Korean music industry and possibly debut as Korean idols in addition to being fashion models.

The agency represents the biggest models in Korea, many of whom become the faces of Korea’s growing authority in the fashion, culture and entertainment industries both in Asia and globally.
