As the conflict between One Hundred and KBS intensifies, the group The Boyz, which has transferred to One Hundred, also announced their absence from the recording of 'Limousine Service.'
According to music industry officials on the 7th, The Boyz expressed that they would not participate in the recording of 'Limousine Service' on KBS's YouTube channel, which was scheduled for next week, resulting in a cancellation of the shooting.
Previously, on the 4th, One Hundred stated that as Shumin is set to release a solo album after 2 years and 6 months, KBS has unofficially conveyed that it is impossible for Shumin to appear simultaneously on programs featuring SM Entertainment artists, such as 'Music Bank.'
In response, KBS stated that it is 'not true' and they are currently communicating, but the absence of Lee Mujin, belonging to One Hundred's subsidiary Big Planet Made Entertainment, from the recording of 'Limousine Service' on KBS's YouTube channel on the 6th escalated the conflict.
Additionally, on the 7th, Lee Soo Geun from Big Planet Made Entertainment also did not participate in the recording of KBS JOY's 'Ask Anything' and the cancellation of The Boyz's recording of 'Limousine Service' is causing the situation to escalate.
In this regard, One Hundred stated, 'We have been unable to reach the KBS entertainment center head, who is ultimately responsible for the appearance of our artists, for the past two weeks. Despite several attempts to convey this to the production directors, we have yet to receive any response, and we have not even been able to meet.'
'The center head, who decides on the appearance of the artists, has not responded, forcing us to accept the rejection of our entire roster's appearance, leading us to the current situation,' they explained. 'If our artists were to participate under the conditions set by KBS while minding their responses, we believe that this situation would solidify and ultimately perpetuate unfair circumstances.'
On the other hand, in response to One Hundred's claim that KBS blocked the appearances of their artists, KBS Entertainment Center head Han Kyung Cheon noted, 'We appreciate your interest in 'Music Bank' among various music programs. There were tough times for 'Music Bank,' but I handled 99% of the casting and lineup myself. This is an issue of communication between the production team and the planning agency. We are not considering casting other MCs for 'Limousine Service' until Lee Mujin returns.'
