THE BOYZ Confirm Plans to Continue Activities as a Nine-Member Group

THE BOYZ have confirmed that they will move forward with group activities as a nine-member act, opening a new chapter after a period of uncertainty around the group’s future. The members said they had reached a shared decision to continue together and had completed a group contract for their activities.

The announcement gives the group’s next steps a clearer shape. THE BOYZ are preparing for future work under a new label, with the members who took part in the agreement set to continue under the group name. Specific dates, release plans, and performance schedules have not yet been detailed.

A Clearer Path After a Difficult Stretch

The confirmation follows a complicated period involving the group’s relationship with One Hundred Label. Several members had pursued legal action seeking to invalidate their contracts, while questions remained about how the group would be organized going forward. The new agreement signals that the participating members have chosen to establish a framework for continuing their work together.

For an idol group with an established catalogue and a long-running connection with its audience, a decision to continue is about more than a single announcement. It creates a starting point for practical work behind the scenes: coordinating management, defining creative plans, arranging promotions, and preparing the stages or releases that will introduce the group’s next era.

That work can take time, particularly when a group is moving into a different management structure. The members and their team will need to align schedules, creative decisions, production plans, and communication with audiences. The absence of immediate release details is therefore not unusual; it allows the new arrangement to be put in place before the group presents a public project.

The nine-member announcement also makes clear that the group’s immediate future will not include every past member. Haknyeon had previously been removed from THE BOYZ, while New’s position had remained less defined as the other members’ contract dispute unfolded. Neither was included in the statement confirming the new nine-member activities.

What the New Contract Means

A group contract can give members a common basis for activities even while individual careers and agency arrangements develop in different ways. In K-pop, that structure is central to the work that fans see publicly: music releases, concert planning, variety appearances, branded content, and the daily coordination that keeps a group active across multiple projects.

THE BOYZ have built their identity through synchronized performances, varied concepts, and a large body of work developed over several years. Moving into a new operational setup will inevitably involve adjustment, but the members’ stated intention to continue together offers continuity for that identity while allowing the nine-member team to define its own direction.

The group has not announced how its next release or public appearance will be structured, and there is no indication yet of a timetable for its first activities under the new arrangement. That leaves room for the members and their new team to decide how they want to mark the transition, whether through music, live performances, or other projects.

Looking Toward the Next Era

For now, the most significant point is that THE BOYZ have set out an intention to remain active together. The move shifts attention from uncertainty over the group’s status to the practical question of what the nine-member lineup will present next.

As preparations continue, further details will determine the pace and scope of the new chapter. Until then, the announcement establishes a concrete foundation: nine members have agreed to continue THE BOYZ’ group activities, and the work of turning that decision into their next public moment is underway.
