Boy group The Boyz (THE BOYZ) has established a new home.

On the 14th, Seven Eight Records (78 RECORDS) announced, "The members Sangyeon, Jacob, Young-hoon, Hyunjae, Ju-yeon, Kevin, Q, Seunwoo, and Eric will focus exclusively on The Boyz's group activities. We will fully support The Boyz's collective endeavors and maintain close cooperation to allow the members' intentions and direction to shine even brighter."

Seven Eight Records is a label founded by industry experts who gathered with shared purpose after gaining experience in artist discovery, growth, music, and content across major entertainment companies such as Kakao Entertainment. The '78' embodies their commitment to continuously create new possibilities based on deep reflection on the essence of music and artists. Under the philosophy "From Essence, We Make the Next Move," the label aims to deeply understand each artist's unique identity and potential, transforming them into differentiated music, content, and new projects.

The label is led by co-presidents who have been with The Boyz for over a decade, guiding them from casting through debut and major activities. They plan to operate the label based on their experience in creating key turning points for the team—including winning Mnet's "Road to KINGDOM" and becoming runners-up in "KINGDOM: Legendary War"—along with their profound understanding of the artists.

A representative from Seven Eight Records stated, "Having been with The Boyz for a long time, we deeply understand the values the members hold dear and their direction moving forward. Above all, we fully recognize the hearts of THE B (The Boyz's fans), who have trusted, waited for, and remained by The Boyz's side without change. We will communicate closely with the members to demonstrate that their long wait and support were not in vain through great music, performances, and content, and will provide steadfast support so that The Boyz and THE B can create even more moments together in the future."

Seven Eight Records plans to begin by stably supporting The Boyz's group activities, then sequentially proceed with preparing new journeys for The Boyz and THE B, officially launching the label, discovering rookie artists, and advancing other initiatives.

Sangyeon, the leader of The Boyz, is approaching his military discharge. Meanwhile, individual activities by the members will continue separately from the group activities managed by Seven Eight Records, according to each member's respective agency and personal activity plans.

Previously, in December 2024, The Boyz left their former agency and partnered with Cha Ga-won, CEO of PIAK Group, and MC Mong's One Hundred Label. However, in February, The Boyz filed for a temporary injunction to suspend the exclusive contract with One Hundred Label. In April, Seoul Central District Court granted the request, bringing an end to their brief collaboration.

New, who did not participate in the termination notice of the previous agency or the application for the injunction, was also excluded from this group contract.
