Starting with the group The Boyz, VIVIZ, singers Lee Moo-jin and Bio have been controversial as a series of exclusive contract conflicts between artists from the One Hundred label, headed by Cha Ga-won.

Except for member New, the nine members of THE BOYZ (Sangyeon, Jacob, Younghoon, Hyunjae, Juyeon, Kevin, Q, Sunwoo, and Eric) announced their separation from the agency One Hundred label through lawyer Kim Moon-hee, a law firm (Yoo) Yulchon, who served as legal representative on the 19th.

Lawyer Kim said, "On February 10, 2026, the exclusive contract was terminated due to the serious violation of the exclusive contract of Wonhun Red Label and the resulting irreparable damage to the trust relationship, and as a result, the exclusive contract was legally terminated and its effect was terminated."

"In the meantime, the agency has not paid the artist a normal settlement for all activities from July 2025 after the settlement payment in the second quarter of 2025. In addition, even though the artist repeatedly requested access to basic materials such as contracts to confirm the transparency of the settlement, he refused without justifiable reasons, and he/she has not given any responsible explanation or convincing explanation for the current situation in which the settlement is not paid to the artist, he/she said.

In this regard, Wonhun Red Label said, "We signed a contract by paying a large amount of exclusive down payment for each member on the premise that they are active in compliance with the contract period," adding, "Last year, the premise collapsed due to various controversies among members, which led to one member withdrawing from the team, making normal team activities difficult." Despite the losses, the company has been trying to maintain its group activities even at the expense of deficits. We cannot accept the members' request to terminate the exclusive contract," he said.

Not only The Boyz, but also VIVIZ, Lee Moo-jin, and Bio, affiliated with One Hundred label Big Planet Made Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as Big Planet), reportedly notified of the termination of the exclusive contract.

Big Planet said, "VIVIZ, Lee Moo-jin, and Bio have not all reached a final conclusion regarding the termination of their exclusive contracts," adding, "We are doing our best for the normal activities of artists."

After the issue of One Hundred's unpaid bills was raised, group SHINee member Taemin ended his exclusive contract with the company and announced a new start at Galaxy Corporation, where G-Dragon belongs. On top of that, artists such as THE BOYZ, VIVIZ, Lee Moo-jin and Bio have left their agencies one after another, and internal problems are rising to the surface.
