THE BOYZ to Continue as 9-Member Group Without New… "Prioritizing Promises to Fans"

Group THE BOYZ will continue their team activities as a nine-member lineup.

THE BOYZ members Sangyeon, Jacob, Younghoon, Hyunjae, Juyeon, Kevin, Q, Sunwoo, and Eric have agreed to continue group activities together, excluding New, and have finalized their group activity contract. They are currently preparing for their activities under a new label system.

Prior to discussing individual activities, the members reportedly deliberated extensively, placing decisions for their fans (The B), who must have endured long waits and worries, as their top priority. Determining that protecting the time and trust built with fans was paramount, they first clearly defined the group's direction before setting out to prepare for individual activities.

Accordingly, individual activities for each member will be pursued through separate contracts with agencies capable of maximizing their respective strengths, while group activities will be carried out seamlessly in parallel through full cooperation. The plan is to maintain a close cooperative system to ensure that team activities as "THE BOYZ" continue stably while respecting individual pursuits.

The members stated, "Our mindset that all nine of us must be together has remained unchanged from the beginning. Above all, we wanted to share our intentions first with the fans who have been waiting for and worrying about THE BOYZ group activities." They added, "We will do our best in our respective positions while striving to continue the precious time we have built with our fans as THE BOYZ."

They further added, "We sincerely thank The B, who have sent us unwavering love and support. We will work hard to prepare so we can repay you with great appearances. We ask for your continued support."

Specific plans and schedules for THE BOYZ's future team activities will be sequentially revealed later.

Meanwhile, the nine members of THE BOYZ excluding New notified One Hundred Label of the termination of their exclusive contracts last February, citing unpaid settlements and the breakdown of trust, and the court subsequently granted their injunction application to suspend the validity of the exclusive contracts. Cha Ga-won, head of One Hundred Label, was arrested on the 3rd of last month on charges of a multi-billion-won investment fraud (approx. 30 billion won).
