The head of the agency One Hundred, MC Mong, revealed his aspirations.
On the 5th, MC Mong shared a story about the upcoming full-length third album 'Unexpected' by the group THE BOYZ, scheduled for release on the 17th, through his social media.
MC Mong recalled, "Was the regular album feasible?" That was the first question. It started with, "Let's believe in ourselves and each other just once, and before the leader goes, let's definitely release a regular album." He mentioned, "Time was tight, and it might have been an impossible timeline. Everyone worked so hard that they couldn't sleep properly day by day," while recalling the album preparation period.
He added, "We absolutely have to release it before Sang Yeon goes to the military. It might not have been possible without the 21 producers, 11 singers, A&R team, and production team who gathered with that single goal. The music video schedule and filming during the 5 nights and 6 days, along with the fan meeting, would have been even harder, but not once did we show that it was difficult," expressing gratitude towards the members.
He also revealed, "The theme of the album is simply an unexpected story. This album contains the pains and farewells of youth that are unexpected, along with some hidden surprises." He emphasized, "The artists at One Hundred love and cherish their fans more than unusually. We will become a company that prioritizes fans. We will break into genres that THE BOYZ has never tried before."
Meanwhile, One Hundred is the parent company of Big Planet Made, which includes singers Taemin, Lee Mujin, VIVIZ (Eunha, SinB, Umji), B.O, Haseongwoon, Ren, performance director Kasper, Kany, singer and actor Lee Seung Gi, entertainer Lee Soo Geun, and Bad Villain, as well as EXO's Baekhyun, Xiumin, and Chen. Recently, Kim Dae Ho, who declared his independence, has also become a new family member.
Recently, One Hundred attracted attention by claiming that EXO member Xiumin is being blocked from appearing on KBS2's 'Music Bank' by his former agency, SM Entertainment, ahead of his solo comeback. One Hundred stated on the 4th, "KBS has unofficially communicated that Xiumin cannot simultaneously appear on programs, including KBS2's 'Music Bank,' where SM Entertainment singers are featured," raising their voice.
However, KBS took the position that Xiumin's claims are unfounded. In fact, artists under One Hundred, such as Baekhyun, Taemin, and Bad Villain, have previously appeared on 'Music Bank' last year, drawing attention.
