iKON parted ways with longtime agency YG Entertainment in late-December 2022. At the time, YG Entertainment announced that the agency and group had “mutually agreed” to end iKON’s exclusive contract, following a “long and careful discussion” with the group’s members. The group signed with 143 Entertainment the following month.
