I was reading this article: https://www.billboard.com/pro/…-label-lawsuit-interview/
The company was founded in 2023 but seems like it already has several controversies, from The Boyz to CBX members to Yong Junhyung.
The Boyz (Haknyeon): ONE HUNDRED signed The Boyz in late 2024, then suddenly put Haknyeon on hiatus and terminated his contract days later over rumors of paid sexual activity. Police later cleared him, saying the claims came from unverified online posts but the company still removed him.
EXO (CBX lawsuit): ONE HUNDRED’s chairwoman publicly declared war on SM, filing lawsuits over unpaid royalties and distribution fees for CBX members. After multiple mediation attempts, the courts eventually ruled in SM’s favor.
Yong Junhyung: Junhyung said that on the day his 2024 EP dropped, the company abruptly told him they were restructuring and offered to cancel his contract. Later, they pressured him to leave and demanded he repay “damages” worth billions of won. When he asked them to follow the contract, they allegedly cut off communication.
