EXO's Xiumin's agency INB100 has not paid the production cost of the music video. Today (19th), the video production company 815 VIDEO announced, "We will present our official position regarding the music video production of Xiumin's song 'Overdrop' under INB100." They clarified, "In August 2025, we received a request from INB100 to produce one main music video and one teaser video, and the project was smoothly completed based on the contract signed between both companies." They continued, "The total production cost was 82.46 million won (approximately 8.77 million yen, including VAT), of which we received an advance payment of 16.5 million won (approximately 1.75 million yen). However, the remaining balance of 65.96 million won (approximately 7.02 million yen) has not been paid since the project was completed. We have requested payment of the remaining balance multiple times after the payment deadline and have also sought formal confirmation from the company. However, since the departure of the person in charge at that time, we have not received any clear responses or specific payment schedule guidance to date." They further stated, "The music video has already been released through the official channel and is being used in the artist's activities. We have faithfully fulfilled all production obligations based on the contract. Nevertheless, we express our deep regret that the rightful compensation has not been paid for a long time. If the unpaid balance is not paid promptly, we will have no choice but to consider all necessary measures to protect our rights under the contract." Cha Ga-won, chairman of INB100, One Hundred, and Big Planet Made, is embroiled in various controversies, including infidelity allegations with MC Mong and debt issues, as well as allegations of unpaid settlement amounts totaling about 5 billion won (approximately 470 million yen) related to EXO's Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin (EXO-CBX), SHINee's Taemin, and THE BOYZ.
