YG Entertainment acquired Phoenix Holdings, a public relations company from Bongwan Group, in November 2014 and rebranded it as YG Plus. Yang Min-suk, the younger brother of YG Entertainment founder Yang Hyun-suk, was appointed as the company's CEO, with YG Entertainment owning 38.6% of the company's shares. In 2019, the company entered the music distribution industry. On January 27, 2021, it was revealed that Hybe Corporation, and its technology subsidiary, Weverse Company (formerly beNX) invested 70B KRW (~63M USD) in the company, acquiring 17.9% of the company in a merchandising and distribution deal that would see YG Entertainment's artists join Weverse in return. In March 2021, Choi Sung-jun was appointed as the new CEO while Yang Min-suk was appointed as the executive director for the company. On September 23, 2025 Hybe sold its entire 7.67% stake in YG Plus for a total of 38.22 billion won (approx. USD $27 million). HYBE's total ownership in the YG Entertainment thus reduced to 10.23% from 17.9% as it still maintains a position through subsidiary Weverse.
