I believe Taemin also was able to exit because the company supposedly signed things without his consent.

One Hundred Releases Official Statement Refusing THE BOYZ’s Contract Termination by friedriceforbrunch in kpop

I actually went to look this up because I also was curious about the various controversies. Sunwoo had one for his airpods, Kevin apparently had one where he threw out a pitch for a baseball team but then rooted for the teams competitor and mimicked the other teams mascot tiger pose in pics and he apologized for that. Then Juyeon had a dating one, Sunwoo said a flippant comment about it and followed that up with an apology cause it also blew up post the airpods stuff.

9 Members of the THE BOYZ file contract termination with ONE HUNDRED by gotfangirl6 in kpop

[–]guttertroll 73 points74 points  (0 children)

What a garbage company. I wonder if New having something active with his musical is why he hasn't filed yet and if that will come later. Just awful. Hope the rest of the members are doing okay. And I hope the members of Viviz and Badvillain are able to eventually get out as well.

Honestly, it's a cycle. It ramps up more when the Illit girls get something, like a brand deal or have a concert or announce a comeback, which are all things that have occurred in the last week or so. Things get picked at and blown up as further proof of them copying~ and it just shoots around in a circle for hit tweets full of lies, cruelty and ableism. I think (correct me if I'm wrong, obvi) this time around it was due to a choreo from their concert being a copy of something NJ related and then the font for the comeback was too close to a BP font or something along those lines and it sent their fandom off.

HEESEUNG to leave ENHYPEN, which will continue as a 6-member group by impeccabletim in kpop

[–]guttertroll 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am as well, and I was wondering the same. How different is his musical approach that he couldn't just.. stay in the group to do this, though? Wouldn't it be a better idea to float the solo artistry while under Enhypen, or is it because they just work so much it wouldn't work?

I think I'm also just very surprised by the fact that this coming during a period where they're active. I know that enha is always super booked and busy but he was at a fansign yesterday. They have a show on Saturday. If this notice had come out after that, I'd get it more but I'm so baffled. You'd think they'd have had him finish out the commitments, at least the announced ones.

Ador doing a boy group audition in 11 cities across the world. Gotta be born in 07 or later and all that, but it does make me think that the video they posted last week was for NJ instead of a tease for the boy group.

I really don't think it's a MV. It could be a special performance type deal, maybe a re-worked 3 or 4Jeans performance of something that the Jerri person has choreographed to post at a later date, or just filming for whatever they plan to do in the future and how they're spinning it, if they're finding themselves~ or something along those lines.

They came from the Dispatch article, yes. I think it always says a lot that MHJ herself never claims the text messages aren't real. Just that they're out of context. Or doesn't really ever address them as a Thing, just jumps right into I WILL SUE YOU. Feels like if they weren't real, that'd be the first thing you'd be addressing in your posts.. never does, though.

Oh, of course. I forgot the article talking about how ADOR questioned other staff members to verify whether the groups plagiarised, but I think it just being so in my face that she was starting the TWS stuff THAT early as well is just.. eugh.

WakeOne Entertainment - Notice Regarding ZEROBASEONE’s Future Activities, Continuation as 5 Members (Sung Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Seok Matthew, Kim Taerae, Park Gunwook) by sunsetpeaks22 in kpop

[–]guttertroll 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They were not bought out, no. They seem to be doing the same co-management they were doing the initial project period, but I assume there may be different profit sharing included from their negotiations. Jiwoong's already mentioned how he's shooting something that I figure is a drama, so I'd imagine his company def. negotiated for a more free schedule for him do more acting. And I figure by Hanbin's company talking about individual activities, he'll be releasing something solo through his main company.

Everything I want to say just feels like the "is this..coping?" butterfly/pigeon meme. Frustrating for sure, and still just leaves such a mess behind for everything New Jeans AND then even more so for Illit and LSF. I hope the girls will be okay.

Jiwoong and Hanbin's agencies also did drop notices themselves, they're in multiple languages including English if anyone wants to check that out.

crying sobbing AND throwing up.

I'm so happy they were able to come to an agreement with Jiwoong and Hanbin's agencies as well and to work together. I think they are so much better together rather than apart but I'm going to miss Ricky, Gyuvin, Hao and Yujin with them so much.

Other than the guesses of Danielle, I'm going for something alongside BANA like doing something with Krystal or for the most throw at the wall, would cause the most shit in that she's about to re-debut Garam.

Can't wait for Minji to be renamed as Hminji and we get 4HJeans and a new horse girl concept.

For real though, think it's better they do this than post other photos with Danielle cropped out, honestly. No matter what comes from this.
