Smooth Rights Transfer: Group Name & SNS Intact

Unlike many agency transitions in the K-pop industry that lead to legal disputes or mandatory name changes, Hi-Hat Entertainment reached an amicable agreement enabling the team to keep the trademark name ifeye.

Furthermore, all existing official social media channels and the PlusChat platform will continue operation without structural changes, ensuring direct communication lines with fans remain open throughout the transition.

Fresh Start with Chorokbaem Music

Chorokbaem Music (CRB Music) represents the newly established music entertainment branch under media giant Chorokbaem Media, widely recognized for producing high-profile drama series such as My Mister and The Penthouse. By signing ifeye as its flagship music act, the agency positions the six-member ensemble for expanded global activities.

Having debuted in April 2025 with the EP Erlu Blue, ifeye followed up with Sweet Tang and their April 2026 release As if. Under their new management, the group is reportedly targeting a Japanese digital single release in early 2027, complemented by live performances in Japan later that spring.
