2020–present[]
It wasn't until January of 2020 that Cord Share would expand as a unique project with SNS accounts for the project opening and the launch of its own website. Additionally, Amoeba Culture no longer had a role in Cord Share and was now solely operated by Devine Channel.
The first artist of the year to publish under Cord Share was K-hip-hop artist Kana Bathe who released the EP MISFIT on January 27, 2020.[12]
In late June, Cord Share announced its own sub-project, '8bar Relay', which would be conducted through TikTok to invite various fans to create music with their favorite artists.[13] The project ended in late July.
Later, in September, Cord Share announced its next project release, a collaborative single album between Kei Lim, Lil Cherry and GOLDBUUDA, titled "BYPRODUCT".[14] The single album was released on September 3, and featured artists Loopy, Chanyeol, Gaeko, Hwangil Jo and Lil Cherry and GOLDBUUDA.[15]
Its third project release of the season was digital single, "Hijacking", by hip hop artist Long Drive featuring Ourealgoat, released on June 20, 2021.[16]
