In a shocking escalation, THE BOYZ have publicly refuted agency Onehundred’s declaration that all settlement payments were “completed,” reigniting a fast-growing controversy.
On the 22nd, attorney Kim Mun-hee of Yulchon LLC, legal counsel for nine members — Sangyeon, Jacob, Younghoon, Hyunjae, Juyeon, Kevin, Q, Sunwoo, and Eric — released an official statement: “Not only at the time the company announced it had completed settlement payments, but even now, none of the members has received a single cent.” Kim added, “Including unpaid settlements for Q3–Q4 2025, there has been no actual payment whatsoever,” arguing that the agency’s announcement was false.
The BOYZ’s side also claimed Onehundred repeatedly pushed back payment deadlines even before filing for an injunction. “The company repeatedly named payment dates and promised to pay both the settlements and late interest, but it never followed through,” Kim said. “Issuing an official statement of ‘settlement completed’ when no settlement has taken place is very regrettable,” Kim continued, criticizing that the allegedly false announcement is fueling conflict and fatigue.
They further addressed their criminal complaint. THE BOYZ have filed a complaint against Onehundred CEO Cha Ga-won on suspicion of embezzlement under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes. “The members are fully cooperating with investigators, including submitting documents upon request,” Kim stated, adding, “We have also confirmed that Yongsan Police Station transferred the case to the Financial Crime Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.” Kim concluded, “Questioning the validity of the complaint based on which investigative unit took the case is nothing more than an attempt to mislead public opinion.”
Previously, on the 21st, Onehundred issued its own statement insisting it had “faithfully fulfilled” its settlement obligations to THE BOYZ, claiming it had completed payment of a large signing bonus and settlements and that the embezzlement allegation was a false claim.
Currently, nine members — all except New — are locked in a legal dispute with the agency. The standoff between THE BOYZ and Onehundred now appears headed for courtroom and law-enforcement judgment.
