March 19, 2026 may go down as one of the most turbulent single days in K-pop industry history. On the very same day that nine THE BOYZ members served contract termination notices to ONE HUNDRED, multiple artists from ONE HUNDRED’s sister label Big Planet Made Entertainment made the exact same move — and the scale of this collapse is now impossible to ignore.

What Happened in K-pop?
On March 19, reports emerged that VIVIZ, Lee Mujin, and BE’O all served formal notices of contract termination to Big Planet Made Entertainment — citing serious violations of their exclusive contracts and an irreparable breakdown of the relationship of trust with the agency.
Big Planet Made responded with a carefully worded statement saying a final conclusion had not been reached and that they were doing their utmost to ensure artists could continue their activities normally. But that vague response, set against the scale of what has unfolded, tells its own story.
The timing is not coincidental. Big Planet Made is a label under the ONE HUNDRED umbrella — the same company whose CEO Cha Ga Won is already at the centre of the THE BOYZ contract termination saga, which broke on the same day. Earlier reporting on the THE BOYZ situation revealed that ONE HUNDRED had failed to pay artists billions of won since Q3 of last year, had dipped into dorm deposit funds, and had stopped providing basic operational support like practice rooms and transportation. Those conditions affected not just THE BOYZ but artists across ALL of ONE HUNDRED’s labels — including Big Planet Made.
For VIVIZ — the girl group formed by former GFriend members SinB, Eunha, and Umji — this marks a deeply significant moment after years of building their independent fanbase post-GFriend. Lee Mujin and BE’O are two of the most popular singer-songwriters of their generation, both with massive streaming audiences and loyal fanbases.
Big Planet Made Entertainment was founded in 2019 and had grown into a significant mid-tier K-pop label before the current financial difficulties at its parent company began cascading across all roster acts.
