Comprehensive management company Billions is expanding its global business operations.

On the 21st, Billions announced that it has signed a local management contract with Japan's leading entertainment company Avex Music Creative Inc. for ONE OR EIGHT's activities in Korea.

Under this agreement, Billions will handle all aspects of ONE OR EIGHT's Korean activities, including domestic album releases and promotions. Through this partnership, the company aims to support ONE OR EIGHT's stable entry into the Korean market and expand its engagement with local fans.

ONE OR EIGHT is a global boy group expanding its activities beyond Japan to include the United States and Latin America. Their 2025 single "DSTM" spent five consecutive weeks on the Mediabase Top 40 chart, while also reaching the Top 40 on Billboard's US Pop Airplay chart, garnering attention in the local market.

Additionally, the title track "TOKYO DRIFT" from their first mini-album "GATHER," released this year, remained on the Mediabase Building Chart Top 40 for nine consecutive weeks. The group also held fan meetings and live tours across the United States and Latin America. As of September, they surpassed 79 million cumulative streams on music streaming platforms, 320 million cumulative views on YouTube content, and 910 million cumulative streams on TikTok, demonstrating their rising popularity.

Through this partnership, Billions plans to systematically support ONE OR EIGHT's Korean activities while further solidifying its network with the Japanese entertainment market, including Avex Music Creative Inc. Additionally, by collaborating with ONE OR EIGHT, which has signed a global contract with major U.S. record label Atlantic Music Group and is expanding its presence in overseas markets, Billions intends to continuously strengthen its foundation for connections with global markets beyond Asia.

Meanwhile, ONE OR EIGHT is an eight-member boy group consisting of Mizuki, Neo, Reia, Ryota, Souma, Takeru, Tsubasa, and Yuga. Having proven their musical competitiveness through collaborations with world-renowned artists such as Ryan Tedder and Big Sean, the group's future activities in Korea are drawing significant attention following this partnership with Billions.
