[Official] THE BOYZ leaves IST Entertainment; signs with MC Mong's label One Hundred

Quote from tetetete

According to the Korea Entertainment Management Association's Tempering (contact before contract expiration) regulations, it is okay to contact other agencies or discuss exclusive contracts starting three months before the contract ends. The Boyz is about three months away from the end of their contract, so they can contact other agencies at this point.

No wonder it took bp members some time to establish their labels they can't contact other agencies before the 3 month period by law

( very weird law I must say and does it hold for foreign labels too??)

Makes sense why Hybe pushed early renewals for BTS and seventeen.

Yup, that also came from an article today about G-Idle's Soyeon's contract expiring in November, it says that Soyeon heading to Zico's KOZ Entertainment is unlikely now( thank god I don't want her heading to Hybe).

100 is an entertainment agency established by singer MC Mong and Cha Ga-won, chairman of Piak Group. Its subsidiary labels include Big Planet Made, which includes Lee Seung-gi and Taemin, and INB100, which includes EXO-CBX (Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin). It remains to be seen whether they will be able to keep their team name. The Boyz's trademark is owned by their agency IST Entertainment.

MC Mong "poaches" another. lol
