So I found out 143 Entertainment is founded by Digital Masta. I was wondering why a small, pretty much unknown company was able to sign a group just coming out of a YG Entertainment contract and having had all the success that iKon has had.
DM has a long history with YG Ent. He was in a hip-hop group with Masta Wu called YMGA in around 2007. Some years later, he founder D-Business Entertainment. This label was part of the 1punch duo along with Brave Entertainment. From what it seems like, One (jung jaewon) was under D Business. As we all know, One ended up at YG Entertainment after a deal between YG and D Business. NOW, it seems like 143 was able to acquire iKon.
Anyway, this is really interesting. I was wonder what came of D Business. Digital Masta's connection with YG Ent seems to still be working out for him after all of these years. 143 is doing A LOT of stuff for iKon too. So many tours, solos, and all types pf stuff. It's crazy how 143 is able to still do so much for iKon. Overall it seems like iKon has a pretty sweet deal.
