LinQ is a Fukuoka-based idol group that was formed in 2011. The members were formerly split into Lady (older) and Qty (younger) teams, which stopped with the group's Demolition and Redevelopment Project, which was announced on June 20, 2017.

Following the graduations of 3 members and the transferring of 7 members to new theatrical unit Toki wo Ikiru, the group officially started activities with their new lineup on August 26, 2017.

Their name stands for Love in Qushu (a stylized spelling of Kyushu).

On April 16, 2023, at the 12th anniversary live, a new student team LinQ Qty debuted, consisting of members that joined in the main group since 2021.
