After winning Season 2 of the SBS survival audition 'K-Pop Star' in 2012, AKMU signed an exclusive contract with YG Entertainment the following year and made their official debut in 2014.

They previously shared the news of their departure on November 21, 2025 from YG Entertainment, the company they had been with for 12 years since their debut.

In particular, there had been predictions that they would go independent with the manager they have shared their journey with to establish a one-man agency for AKMU.

Finally, the new agency name has been revealed as “Fountain of Inspiration,” attracting interest. “Fountain of Inspiration” is a name already familiar to fans. In 2023, Lee Chan Hyuk held an exhibition under the name “Fountain of Inspiration” in 2023, followed by “Lee Chan Hyuk: Fountain of Inspiration: The Last Drop” in 2025.
