THE BOYZ has signaled a new departure at a new label established by people involved who have nurtured long-standing ties. 78 RECORDS announced today (the 14th), "We will exclusively handle the group activities of THE BOYZ’s Sangyeon, Jacob, Younghoon, Hyunjae, Juyeon, Kevin, Q, Sunwoo, and Eric," and "We will fully support THE BOYZ’s group activities and continue a close cooperative relationship so that the members’ will and direction can shine even more brightly." 78 RECORDS is a new label founded and represented by industry figures who have built ties since THE BOYZ’s casting stage. The members’ individual activities are planned to continue separately from group activities, in line with each person’s own agency and individual activity plans. Prior to this, nine THE BOYZ members excluding New notified One Hundred in February of this year that they were terminating their exclusive contracts. While the two sides were in conflict over matters such as settlement and whether contractual obligations had been fulfilled, the court in April accepted the members’ application for a provisional injunction to suspend the validity of the exclusive contracts. While supporting THE BOYZ’s group activities, 78 RECORDS plans to gradually begin full-scale label operations and discover new artists. ・Nine THE BOYZ members are preparing group activities at a new label: "Individual activities will be handled under separate contracts" ・Nine THE BOYZ members have terminated their exclusive contracts with One Hundred
