History

On June 2010, Woollim debuted their first ever boy group, Infinite.[4]

On August 2013, Woollim Entertainment merged with SM Entertainment's subsidiary SM Culture & Contents (SM C&C) to form "Woollim Label", an independent record label whose music would be different from SM Entertainment's sounds with their own color of music and an eclectic lineup of artists.[5]

On November 2014, Woollim debuted their first girl group, Lovelyz.[6]

On March 21, 2016, SM C&C announced that it decided to separate its video content business from its music content business. SM C&C established Woollim Entertainment (Woollim Entertainment Co., Ltd) to handle its music content business, with SM C&C owning all stocks of the company. The partition came into effect on June 8, 2016.[7]

On August 2017, Woollim debuted their second boy group after seven years, Golden Child.[8]

On August 2019, Woollim debuted their second girl group, Rocket Punch.[9]

On October 2020, Woollim debuted a seven-member boy group Drippin.[10]
