Amidst the ongoing dispute between One Hundred Label (referred to as One Hundred) and KBS, there have been recent developments involving Lee Mu Jin and Hyunjae. Lee Mu Jin, under One Hundred's subsidiary Big Planet Made Entertainment, and The Boyz’s Hyunjae, associated with One Hundred, were notably missing from the 'Limousine Service' recordings. However, exciting news has emerged as their participation is set to resume next week.
As reported by News1 on the 11th, The Boyz’s Hyunjae is set to make a guest appearance on Lee Mu Jin's web variety show, Limousine Service, during the upcoming recording session.
The conflict between One Hundred, which oversees Lee Mu Jin's agency, and The Boyz’s agency with KBS had led to their absence from the recording of Limousine Service on the 5th. Fortunately, with Lee Mu Jin confirming his return for the upcoming recording, Hyunjae will also be back on schedule.
Previously, One Hundred raised concerns on the 4th regarding Xiumin, signed under subsidiary label INB100, being allegedly barred from appearing on KBS 2TV’s Music Bank without clear justification. KBS refuted these claims, emphasizing ongoing communication with Xiumin’s agency. Subsequently, tensions escalated, leading to Lee Soo Geun and Lee Mu Jin boycotting KBS programs.
In a recent development on the 8th, One Hundred responded to statements from the 2025 KBS Spring New Variety Program Briefing, quoting KBS Variety Center Director Han Kyung Cheon’s perspective on the matter. One Hundred expressed trust in Director Han Kyung Cheon's remarks, affirming their readiness to resume recording with artists like Lee Soo Geun and Lee Mu Jin and called for active cooperation from KBS.
However, the agency reiterated concerns about Xiumin's exclusion from Music Bank, highlighting the lack of clarity in the communication. They emphasized the need for a proper explanation from KBS regarding Xiumin's participation. The fans await official updates and hope to see an amicable resolution soon.
