According to ONE HUNDRED, their decision to terminate the idol’s contract came after a thorough internal review of behavior that violated their agreement. The agency cited Clause 6-3 of the contract, referring to “conduct that significantly damages the dignity required of a public figure.” While they didn’t provide graphic details about the exact incident, their statement affirmed that the recent scandal was a serious risk to THE BOYZ’s reputation and internal dynamics. Additionally, the company confirmed Haknyeon had been suspended from group activities before making the decision to end his contract.
