An agency losing like all their acts in such a short period of time…the extent to which you have to screw up in order for that to happen…

It doesn’t seem like that long ago where they were recruiting artists like crazy and now they’re imploding. I don’t know if there’s any other mid-tier agency that’s had such a mass exodus of artists within a month.

Really hope this isn’t the end for VIVIZ…

I would love Badvillain to escape too and find another home but I don’t see it for them as a rookie group.

goddamn, are they all in a group chat or something? or did they see the news drop about tbz three hours ago and collectively go, “DO IT NOW!!!!!”

this company was always a mess. i pray that all the artists will be released from their contracts. working without pay is inhumane, when you know the money is coming in.
PhoenixHusky on
is there any info on their lawyer? I wonder if they all went and grabbed the firm that represented Taemin like The Boyz did lol

I feel bad for VIVIZ. Not even sure what would be the next agency to join. Something that would fit them and help their career. They already went through the disbandment of Gfriend, now they have to go through with this?
Lee Mujin would be fine since he’s a soloist. He could join Antenna and it wont affect his career much.

I’m always a bit torn when I see headlines like this. Although I’m happy for the artists doing right by themselves and leaving an agency that’s not supporting them or doing well by them. I always wonder, “what’s the next plan for them”?? Small indie companies are dying out, and yes while the artists can go and establish their own agencies, its not sustainable long term.
I hope and pray for the best for them. I really hate seeing talented artists fade out all because an agency can’t get their act together. 🙁

Complete implosion of this dogshite company. Wonder if CBX will follow suit

A couple years ago BPM/100 seemed really promising. They were able to recruit several experienced artist in such a short time. Its kind of wild how fast everything has fallen apart. I hope that the artists leaving are able to find other agencies but I am a bit worried about their less popular acts like VIVIZ.

Mass exodus…
Clawmaster13 on
I’m worried about Badvillain now, they’re a new group, basically dungeoned by BPM, and I think it might be the end of them all together.
They were one of my top 5 groups of 5th gen, their music is totally my style and they are, imo, the best dancers of their generation. I really hope they get out together and another company picks them up so they can continue

It’s kinda insane some short years ago Viviz was all I knew about BPM. Eunha is my bias in Gfriend and I’ve quietly followed them and their banger discography hoping to see the girls thrive. I was under the impression they were doing alright, I’ve seen comments here and there that they seemed content with BPM (though this was probably around 2023), yet how the hell did this company fumble everything in such a short period of time?? I’m just sad, I saw Viviz was scheduled for a fanmeeting a while ago and now I wonder if they’re also on the same boat as TBZ and Taemin paying out of pocket to keep their activities going….

Oh wow I was just talking about them this is crazy so now only
REN of NU’EST and BADVILLIAN are left??!

thank god viviz left even tho ill miss them so much

If you’ll visit X and search CBX or INB100, gosh those EXO-Ls are still in denial that INB100 is not related to One Hundred in any way. And guess how many artists are left under that umbrella? CBX only.

“No final decision has been made regarding the termination of exclusive contracts for VIVIZ, Lee Mujin, and BE’O.”
I don’t know, it sure as hell sounds like a final decision *has* been made. You’re just not the ones making it.

Good for them.
I have always felt that bpm was a shady company.
Temporary_Shoe_5863 on
They were a bad company
Ok-Elk-1520 on
It sucks that all of these artists found a company where they could consistently pump out good music and grow their popularity only for it to implode a few years later.
Hopefully we also hear some news soon about Badvillain escaping this sinking ship because they are one of the most mismanaged groups I think I’ve ever seen.
Temporary_Shoe_5863 on
Its sad.

Damn it really feels like there less and less smaller companies these days, then again big planet made was only established in 2021 but still
ronnietp on
It was like just few years ago when kpop fans always said that their favs should leave the company (most of these are from Big4) and joined BPM instead.
Going further than that, it was PNation.
And now we know why some artists still stay in these companies after all these years.
ghiblix on
it was a matter of time, right? these artists deserve better agencies 💔
extremely curious where mujin will end up, being such a chart mainstay and a hot commodity. he’s only 25 so still some time before enlistment. lots of places seem like they’d be good fits — edam and antenna come to mind? but i have a feeling he’ll be spoiled for choice
sindrandi_ on
Is Lee Seung-gi still signed with Big Planet Made? If so, I’d be really curious to find out, what’s going on in his camp and whether he’ll make a move soon as well. If he’s dealing with payment issues again, that would honestly be crazy, after everything that happened with Hook Entertainment. And reading parent One Hundred’s statement regarding The Boyz and the “deficits due to difficulties of maintaining normal team activities”, I was reminded of Hook Entertainment calling Lee-Seung-gi “an unprofitable singer who requests too many things from the company”.
