Following The Boyz' demand to be released from their exclusive contract with One Hundred Label, several other K-pop idols linked with the main company have apparently said they want to leave, too.
According to reports by Korean media, VIVIZ, soloist Lee Mu Jin, and hip-hop artist BE'O have applied to terminate their contracts with Big Planet Made (BPM) Entertainment. Read on to find out how BPM Entertainment reacted to this news, first reported by The Fact.
VIVIZ, consisting of former GFriend members Eunha, SinB, and Umji, was created by BPM Entertainment in 2022. They are leading the exodus of K-pop artists leaving the company alongside Lee Mu Jin and BE'O. This was published by The Fact on March 19, 2026. They said the violations of their contracts, alongside trust breaches, made them take this step. Supposedly, they had sought explanations from CEO Cha Ga Won, but remained unsatisfied with the responses.
Following this report, Big Planet Made decided to make its own side heard. A source from the company told Xsports News that "no final decision" had been arrived at about the contracts of the three entities, with respect to termination. In light of the artists wanting to leave, BPM Entertainment was working to ensure no changes in the regular functioning of VIVIZ, Lee Mu Jin, and BE'O.
Earlier on March 19, the parent company of Big Planet Made, One Hundred Label, announced that it would not release The Boyz from their individual and group contracts. The K-pop group had allegedly sent individual letters regarding this in February. This is an ongoing news story, and we await further details.
There seems to be a large overhaul of the K-pop industry, and one hopes it moves in a better direction for the artists involved.
