The group THE BOYZ will continue activities as a nine-member unit excluding New.
THE BOYZ members Sangyeon, Jacob, Younghoon, Hyeongchae, Juyeon, Kevin, Q, Sunwoo and Eric decided to continue group activities together as nine members and signed a group activity contract.
Hyeongchae is preparing to promote under the newly formed Ray system, and before the members formalize individual activities they will organize clear team activity directions to prevent fans' concerns and then begin preparing for individual activities.
Accordingly, team activities will take place under the newly formed Ray label system, and members' individual activities will proceed under separate contracts with companies that can maximize their abilities. However, group activities will be carried out concurrently without disruption.
THE BOYZ will respect each member's individual activities while working closely to ensure team activities continue stably.
Regarding this, the members said "From the start, our determination that all nine must be together has not changed. Above all, we wanted to first convey our intentions to fans who have waited for and worried about THE BOYZ's group activities," and "While doing our best in our respective places, we will do our utmost to continue the precious time we have built with fans as THE BOYZ."
They added, "We sincerely thank THE BUDDYs for their unwavering love and support. We will prepare diligently to repay you with a good image, so we ask for your continued support."
Meanwhile, earlier in February the nine THE BOYZ members excluding New notified One Hundred of termination of exclusive contracts citing unpaid settlements and a breakdown of trust. Afterwards, the provisional injunction to suspend the effect of the exclusive contracts filed by THE BOYZ was granted.
