Overview
- The nine members, excluding New, won an injunction Thursday that leaves their exclusive contracts with One Hundred no longer in effect.
- The court found the label failed to pay settlement earnings, withheld accounting data needed to verify pay, and fell short on management support and artist protection.
- Judges rejected the agency’s argument that large signing bonuses were advances that could offset settlements, stating the bonuses are separate from revenue-based payouts.
- The members say they will keep confirmed schedules, including their Inter-Zection concerts this weekend, as a livestream dispute led Knowmerce to refund online ticket buyers.
- Pressure on One Hundred has grown with a police financial-crime unit reviewing the members’ embezzlement complaint and with EXO’s Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin exiting its INB100 unit on April 10.
