Lee Seung Gi, EXO-CBX, VIVIZ terminate contracts as ONE HUNDRED’s implosion continues

How bad have things gotten for ONE HUNDRED and their subsidiaries? Bad enough that they get their own tag given their apparent impending implosion.

Amid ONE HUNDRED CEO Cha Ga Won‘s multiple fraud allegations, Taemin left BPM Entertainment back in February, then nine members from THE BOYZ terminated their contracts in March (disputed by ONE HUNDRED), and it was reported soon after that VIVIZ, Lee Mujin, and BE’O requested contract termination from BPM.

Unsurprisingly at this point, things have since gotten worse.

• Lee Seung Gi, who had previously been put through hell by his previous agency, terminated his contract with BPM due to breach of contract via non-payment. Given the lack of response to this from BPM, it seems like that is another done deal.

• EXO-CBX (Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin) have reportedly requested contract termination from INB100 due to lack of payment. The response from the company was basically that they’re scrambling.

Cha Ga Won’s side stated, “We are working to normalize the company. We will do our best to resolve the situation, whether through additional investment or by using personal funds.”

• VIVIZ also confirmed that they filed for contract termination, citing lack of payment and not fulfilling support duties for activities, leading to a breakdown of trust. They added that their album and fanmeetings for 2026 were unilaterally cancelled. Like THE BOYZ, they also say their contracts have been lawfully terminated.

• Furthermore, it was reported that THE BOYZ are going through with their INTER-ZECTION concert from April 24-26 and are funding it themselves. They also pledged to fulfill their previously confirmed schedules before the contract dispute arose.

For those asking why ONE HUNDRED’s artists seem so confident in their positions with minimal apparent pushback or the company straight-up letting them go, it’s because ONE HUNDRED seems very likely to be on the wrong side of contractual issues. It’s become apparent that enforcement of the contract is above all in the results of recent K-pop legal cases, and the long stretches without payment is probably a violation. On top of that, part of the fraud accusations that Cha Ga Won is facing is that she was selling off the IP of her artists to companies for payments and then just … not doing the fulfillment part. Needless to say, that’s likely a contract violation, and it’s a reminder that ONE HUNDRED has bigger issues to deal with first.
