THE BOYZ have officially ended their exclusive contract with IST Entertainment, with whom they have worked for a long time. On December 5, IST Entertainment announced on the official fan café, “After in-depth discussions regarding the expiration of our contract with THE BOYZ (SangYeon, Jacob, YoungHoon, HyunJae, Juyeon, Kevin, New, Q, JuHakNyeon, Sunwoo, Eric), we have mutually agreed to terminate the contract.”
IST Entertainment expressed gratitude to THE BOYZ for their sincere attitude and impressive activities since 2017, stating, “Although our journey together ends here, we sincerely support their new beginning.” They added, “We ask for continued support and love for THE BOYZ’s future.”
Debuting in 2017, THE BOYZ gained significant attention after winning the final of Mnet’s ‘Road to Kingdom’ in 2020. Recently, they have been actively promoting their 9th mini-album ‘Dohwaseon’.
The new agency is reportedly One Hundred, founded by Chagawon Piac Group chairman and singer MC Mong. IST Entertainment announced their intention to provide trademark rights to THE BOYZ members free of charge, but One Hundred countered, stating, “It is not free,” highlighting differences in opinion between the two sides.
Many fans are keenly watching how THE BOYZ’s new journey will unfold. Expectations for their future endeavors are high.
