History
Founded in 1991 as Signal Information & Communication Corp. (Signal I&C), the company was the national licensee of the now-defunct American company Motorola. In 1997, it partnered with the now-defunct Korea Telecom Freetel (a Korea Telecom (KT) company) for PCS service.

1999 was the year when Signal I&C became the official distributor of Motorola Multimedia Group Cable Services. It also partnered with KT for PCS service. Signal I&C got the ISO 9001 certification in this same year.

In 2001, Signal I&C signed a business partnership with Lucent (presently Alcatel-Lucent), then partnered with SK Telecom for IMT Advanced service.

Then in 2003, the company signed another business partnership, this time  with CommWorks Corporation (then a subsidiary of now-defunct 3Com, presently a subsidiary of UTStarcom). Later on, it partnered again with KT for ATM service.

Signal I&C joined the Korea Exchange (KRX)'s KOSDAQ index in 2011.

2015 became the start of a new era for the company as it launched its present corporate name - then started to diversify into the show business, media and cosmetics industries.
