History[]
Callisto was founded by former member of 3rd generation K-pop group, Seo Kangmin, who was falsely accused of bullying and harassment. He was kicked out of his group and fell into depression. One of his family members suggested that he should create an entertainment company for idols who were kicked out/removed from the group (and pre debut line up) so they can be given a second chance. The entertainment was founded and SUNNI was the first artist under the entertainment.
The entertainment was small at first, barely noticeable. The first ever group to get Callisto out of the shadows was B4NDTEAM. They made Callisto into what it is today and got it into one of the big companies.
