K-Plus was founded by former model Go Eun-kyung in 2008 to train future models and fashion industry professionals. On February 2014, K-Plus signed a contract for strategic partnership and share investment with talent agency YG Entertainment and finalised the merger with a new name called "YG KPLUS" in September. Go's former protege model-turned-actor Cha Seung-won would be training K-Plus models to become future actors.
