History

Perspective
The company was formed by Kim Shin-ae on March 23, 2017, as a food and beverage service company, operating the "8D Seoul Cafe" in Dosan Park Gangnam. Prior to founding 8D Creative, Kim had experience in founding the bakery goodovening (굿오브닝; later sold to a Japanese company) and the pizza chain Mick Jones's Pizza (믹존스 피자). The name "8D" is based on the :D (happy face) emoticon, which symbolizes both her experiences as a businesswoman and divorced single mom, as well as her mission to create a "funky" workplace.[3]
8D Creative was later sold to ESV (now Kyungnam Pharm Healthcare), with Kim Shin-ae staying as president and CEO. The acquisition propelled the company's diversification to other industries including music and entertainment.[4]
In the first half of 2018, 8D Creative trainee Kang Hye-won was sent to participate in the survival girl group television show Produce 48.[5] She finished eighth and debuted as part of Iz*One.[6]
On June 15, 2018, actor Kam Woo-sung signed the exclusive contract with 8D.[7] On October 10, actress Yoo In-young also joined the company.[8]
On April 30, 2019, 8D Creative established two new subsidiaries, an actor-specialized management WIP and an idol-specialized label RSVP.[9]
On November 12, 2020, RSVP was renamed as 8D Entertainment and 8D Creative was integrated into the company. Kim Shin-ae became the executive director of the company, with Park Jin-hyoung replacing her as president and CEO.[10]
