Before the duo's formation, both members often collaborated with Shinsadong Tiger. Rado worked on hit songs such as 4Minute's "Volume Up", Apink's "My My" and "Hush", and Trouble Maker's "Trouble Maker" and "Now", while Choi Kyu-sung was involved in T-ara's "Roly-Poly", Hyuna's "Bubble Pop", and Beast's "Fiction".
In August 2017, the duo joined forces with CJ E&M to launch a new entertainment company called High Up Entertainment,[7] which became an independent company in 2018. In February 2019, the duo debuted their first boy duo 415 (Korean: 사이로).[8] In November 2020, the duo debuted their first girl group STAYC (Korean: 스테이씨).[9] In March 2025, Rado and Choi Kyu-sung parted ways due to differing musical styles, with Choi leaving High Up Entertainment.[7]
