Fans feel frustrated as they suspect that The Boyz, currently being managed by One Hundred Label, has withdrawn from the upcoming '2025 Seoul Spring Festa.'
On March 10, fans gathered in various online communities and social media platforms to discuss the latest announcement regarding the '2025 Seoul Spring Festa' set to take place on April 30.
Previously, The Boyz was part of the artist lineup alongside NCT WISH and n.SSign. However, the new announcement now includes just NCT WISH and n.SSign and The Boyz was also removed from the ticketing page, sparking speculation that The Boyz withdrew from the festival due to the ongoing feud between One Hundred and KBS. The event is scheduled to be live-streamed on KBS's YouTube channel, KBS Kpop.
KBS has been embroiled in a dispute with One Hundred Label earlier this month. The feud surfaced when One Hundred Label accused KBS of blocking its artist Xiumin from appearing on 'Music Bank' because SM Entertainment artists would also appear on the program. One Hundred Label stated that "KBS unofficially informed us that it would be impossible for Xiumin to appear on programs such as 'Music Bank' where SM Entertainment singers perform. Despite our continued efforts to reach out, we were ignored."
One fan expressed concern that The Boyz's appearance on Seoul Festa has been affected by this latest dispute. They explained, "The Boyz had been participating in Seoul Festa every year since 2022, so they were supposed to join for the fourth consecutive year in 2025. Why should The Boyz be unable to attend just because ChenBaekXi got blocked from broadcasts? They’re not even from SM, seriously..."
Other netizens also joined the conversation and commented:
"If that's true, I feel so bad for the fans."
"Their new company is so weird."
"This is driving me crazy."
"Please save The Boyz."
"I hope this isn't true."
"How many of their artists' schedules are they going to cancel just because of ChenBaekXi?"
"What are they doing??"
"I feel so bad for the fans who have to endure this."
"That label is legendary..."
"This is making me cry for real."
"A company like this really exists?"
"The Boyz didn't do anything wrong but their label is seriously screwing them over. Why should they suffer like this!?"
"This is only bad for The Boyz's fans."
"They removed The Boyz? Why would they do this?"
"This is making the fans suffer."
"This is so messed up."
