History
In 2017, Starship Entertainment launched another subsidiary label House of Music, which focused on recruiting smaller, independent artists, with MoonMoon being the first signed under the label.[1] In 2018, Starship renamed the label "Highline Entertainment".[2][3]
In 2018, DJ Soda signed with Highline after "House of Music" was defunct.[4]
In January 2019, Highline signed Jang Seok-hoon, previously a member of the hip hop scene super rookie Balming Tiger.[5]
In April, Highline signed Mnet's High School Rapper 3 contestant PLUMA.[6]
In 2020, Starship began expanding Highline, with a focus on artists who are prominent in subculture.[7]
In April, they signed artist Wonho, previously a member of the boy group Monsta X, to the label, who debuted in September.[8][9]
In September, they announced that singer Yoo Seung-woo had signed to the label. This moved him from Starship's acoustic sublabel "Starship Y", which brought that label to an end, as Yoo was the only artist on the label.[7]
In August 2021, Highline sent You Da-yeon in the survival program Girls Planet 999.[10]
