Overview
- 78 Records said it will be exclusively responsible for THE BOYZ’s group activities for Sangyeon, Jacob, Younghoon, Hyunjae, Juyeon, Kevin, Q, Sunwoo and Eric.
- Each member will keep solo and individual schedules with their own personal agencies, with examples including Younghoon at Namoo Actors and Sunwoo at AT AREA.
- The change follows a legal fight over unpaid settlement payments that led the Seoul Central District Court to suspend the members’ exclusive contracts with One Hundred Label.
- 78 Records was set up by industry veterans who previously worked with the group and say they aim to preserve the band’s creative direction and ties with fans.
- The split-management arrangement clears the way for the nine-member unit to restart group promotions under 78 Records while members pursue separate careers, and it highlights a growing model in K-pop where group and solo work are managed by different companies.
