History
Yang Hyun-suk announced, in May 2018, a subsidiary company called YGX would merge with Seungri's DJ label NHR. On June 4, on his official Instagram account, he posted a picture of a business card showing Seungri as the CEO of YGX Entertainment. In 2018, the label launched a dance and vocal academy, called X ACADEMY, where students could potentially be scouted by YG Entertainment as trainees.{{Cite web|url=https://www.soompi.com/article/1243435wpp/yg-entertainments-x-academy-reveals-photos-details-class-structure|title=YG Entertainment's X Academy Reveals Photos + Details About Class Structure|date=2018-10-10|website=Soompi|access-date=2019-01-02}}{{Unreliable source?|reason=See reliable sources list on WP:KO/RS|date=January 2025}}
In 2020, the label was converted to a full-fledged dance group and academy with all of its actors, recording artists, and producers transferred to YG Entertainment.
The YGX academy announced its end of operations on 30 April 2024.{{Cite web |title=Instagram |url=https://www.instagram.com/p/C6YrtltxIV9/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link |access-date=2024-07-24 |website=www.instagram.com}}
