(Summary translation by me)

According to Ilgan Sports, ONE HUNDRED, former label of The Boyz, plans on filing a lawsuit totaling 8.8 billion KRW against The Boyz (excluding New). The members previously were granted an injunction back in April 2026 to suspend their exclusive contract with ONE HUNDRED, citing breach of trust, non-payment, and managerial issues. They initially signed with the label on December 4, 2024.

ONE HUNDRED plans on suing the members for their exclusive contract signing bonuses, which they claim were advance payments made under the assumption of their activities under the label. Each member received a 1.5 billion KRW advance signing bonus.

In preparation of the lawsuit, ONE HUNDRED has stated they plan on filing provisional asset seizures against the members ahead of the lawsuit. They have already done so for members Younghoon and Q, and will be doing so for all other members. Younghoon's legal representative, Yulchon LLC, filed an objection on July 13th.

EDIT to include additional details:

The objection from Younghoon's legal team stated that his contract did not contain a clause that the bonus was an advance payment or that the bonus must be repaid, in contrast to ONE HUNDRED's claims.

Also as a translator's note: a provisional asset seizure does not have bearing on a lawsuit's judgement. It's in place mostly to ensure a plaintiff does not sell off assets in case they must pay for any costs or damages or anything else resulting from the lawsuit.
