In 2000 EBM merged with production company Uno Films to become a new entertainment company, Sidus.[3] At this time, Sidus was known as the management company of popular K-pop group g.o.d (as part of a cooperation with music producer and songwriter Park Jin-young of JYP Entertainment) and rising young actors and actresses such as Jang Hyuk, Cha Tae-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun. By 2002 the production and talent management divisions had separated; the production division is now known as Sidus Pictures while the talent management division became iHQ (also known as SidusHQ).[4]

In 2005 iHQ acquired YTN Group's cable TV broadcasting division (YTN Media), and changed its name to present-day . It expanded into China, opening an office in Beijing in partnership with SK Telecom China in 2007. The branch serves to promote the activities of Korean stars in the Chinese market.[5][6]

In 2013 iHQ acquired 60% of shares in , owner of the music site monkey3.[7] It also became the biggest share holder (50.01%) in Cube Entertainment.[8] At the same time, CU Media was sold to .

In July 2018 it re-acquired New Able Entertainment. It had previously been spun-off as an independent subsidiary company and was home to the likes of Park So-hyun, Lee Yoo-jin and Danny Ahn. All artists on its roster were transferred to SidusHQ.[9][10]
