EXO Baekhyun Faces Backlash as INB100 Merges with ONE HUNDRED

On May 16, it was announced that music production company ONE HUNDRED has acquired Baekhyun’s self-established agency, INB100, which belongs to EXO member Baekhyun.

The purchase has sparked debates among supporters and online users, especially because of the recent legal conflicts between Baekhyun, Xiumin, and Chen and their previous company, SM Entertainment.

Taemin, another artist who was previously signed to SM Entertainment, is notably from Big Planet Made.

The acquisition news has only added fuel to the ongoing rumors and suspicions surrounding Baekhyun’s motives and actions.

Earlier this year, Baekhyun, Xiumin, and Chen, who are part of the K-pop group EXO, made allegations against their agency SM Entertainment for enforcing “slave contracts.”They also took legal action against the agency.

During this time, there were accusations that Big Planet Made had been trying to recruit the three members and had initiated the lawsuit against SM Entertainment.

Despite previous accusations, Big Planet Made had denied any wrongdoing and clarified that MC Mong had only met with the EXO members for personal reasons.

There is growing skepticism among netizens about the credibility of Baekhyun and the other EXO members, as some speculate that their dispute with SM Entertainment may have been swayed by their ties to Big Planet Made.

This doubt is evident through the many comments found on social media platforms, in which users have shared their uncertainties and feelings of frustration.

One commenter stated, “Were they denying their connections while feuding with SM? The truth has finally surfaced.”Another user expressed, “Baekhyun has been lying this whole time… How shameful.”Several individuals also accused Baekhyun of betraying SM Entertainment, with one person declaring, “As expected, Baekhyun has betrayed SM.”

The dispute highlights the intricate and frequently contentious connections between K-pop idols and their management agencies.

Despite the steadfast support of certain fans towards Baekhyun and his colleagues, there are those who have become disenchanted with the recent developments and are skeptical of the validity of their actions, while remaining loyal to SM Entertainment.

The uncertainty of the situation leaves Baekhyun’s reputation and future endeavors in question.

Neither INB100 nor ONE HUNDRED have issued official statements addressing the backlash.

The K-pop community is keeping a close watch, eagerly anticipating the unfolding of events in this ongoing saga.
