ONE HUNDRED Refuses To Terminate The Boyz Members’ Contracts, Says Controversies Deemed Normal Group Functioning Difficult
Releasing a statement on The Fact report, One Hundred Label (100 Label) has clarified that their contract with The Boyz included a “substantial exclusive signing bonus” for all 11 members. The caveat was that they would carry out activities as a team. However, considering the “various controversies” in 2025, one member (Ju Haknyeon) had to leave the group. Thus, the boy group’s regular activities were disrupted. Saying that it worked hard to continue previously signed projects with outside companies, One Hundred allegedly even took on “significant deficits.”
All of these details were deliberated, and the label clarified that it could not terminate the nine members’ contracts. Then, referring to The Fact‘s write-up on this, One Hundred said it would be suing the media agency for inaccurate reportage. The article implied that the company had withdrawn support for vehicles, managers, practice rooms, and more, something 100 Label categorically denied. While they were willing to provide it, The Boyz members refused to accept the support.
Further, they rejected the claim that One Hundred’s CEO, Cha Ga Won, took over The Boyz’ deposits for their dormitory. Additionally, the company called it “completely groundless, malicious, and clearly false.” 100 Label warned that it would not let this go, threatening legal action.
