THE BOYZ Retain Their Group Name Amidst Transition to ONE HUNDRED
On December 5, ONE HUNDRED announced that an amicable agreement had been reached with IST Entertainment over trademark rights to THE BOYZ’s name. The resolution came after a public dispute sparked concerns among fans about the group’s future identity.
“Today (December 5), through a meeting with IST Entertainment, we amicably came to a mutual agreement about the use of the ‘THE BOYZ’ trademark and three major points of discussion,” the statement read. “After resolving our past misunderstandings and opening up in an honest conversation, our company and IST Entertainment came to an agreement that can make everyone happy while prioritizing the members of THE BOYZ and their fans, The B.”
“We would also like to sincerely thank IST Entertainment, who came to this discussion with an open mind,” it added. “We would like to thank The B and the IST Entertainment family, who have walked THE BOYZ’s path together with them for the past seven years, and we ask for your continued interest and loving support in the future as well.”
Following the expiration of their exclusive contracts with IST Entertainment on the same day, all 11 members of THE BOYZ will officially transition to ONE HUNDRED, a new agency co-founded by renowned artist MC Mong and p_Arc Group chairwoman Cha Ga Won.
ONE HUNDRED operates alongside its affiliate labels Big Planet Made—home to notable artists such as Lee Seung Gi and SHINee’s Taemin—and INB100, which represents EXO members Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin. The impressive roster of artists associated with ONE HUNDRED has heightened anticipation for THE BOYZ’s next chapter under this new management.
THE BOYZ, known for hits like “The Stealer”, “MAVERICK”, and “ROAR”, have consistently dazzled fans with their powerful performances and diverse music. With their group name secured and a promising new agency behind them, fans are eager to see what fresh opportunities and achievements lie ahead for the talented group.
