Galaxy Corporation Denies Reports Of Recruiting Baekhyun

Galaxy Corporation has denied rumors regarding the recruitment of singer Baekhyun.

On April 22, a media outlet reported that Baekhyun is in talks to sign an exclusive contract with Galaxy Corporation, the agency that currently represents G-Dragon.

In response to the report, a representative from Galaxy Corporation stated, “The reports regarding discussions of signing an exclusive contract with Baekhyun are not true.”

Baekhyun had previously established his own independent label INB100, and fellow EXO members Chen and Xiumin, who are active as part of the sub-unit EXO-CBX, also joined the label.

The label was subsequently absorbed as a subsidiary of ONE HUNDRED, a company led by CEO Cha Ga Won. However, CEO Cha Ga Won is currently facing allegations of fraud, accused of leveraging the intellectual property (IP) rights of the agency’s artists to receive advance payments while failing to carry out the promised business operations.

In the wake of these events, artists under the umbrella—including THE BOYZ, Lee Seung Gi, VIVIZ, Lee Mujin, and BE’O—have been leaving the company, and EXO-CBX has also sent a formal notice of contract termination.

Chen, Baekhyun, And Xiumin Reportedly Notify INB100 Of Contract Termination

Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin have reportedly moved to terminate their contracts with INB100.

On April 10, THE FACT reported that Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin sent a formal notice in late March to INB100 CEO Cha Ga Won, informing her of their intent to terminate their exclusive contracts while requesting clarification regarding unpaid settlements and other alleged contract violations. Despite allowing an additional two weeks for a response, the trio reportedly did not receive a satisfactory explanation and ultimately decided to proceed with the termination.

In response to the report, Cha Ga Won’s side stated, “We are working to normalize the company. We will do our best to resolve the situation, whether through additional investment or by using personal funds.”

INB100 is a company Baekhyun established while preparing to become independent from SM Entertainment. In May 2024, it was incorporated as a subsidiary of ONE HUNDRED, a company founded by Cha Ga Won and MC Mong. Cha Ga Won later became the largest shareholder, overseeing INB100 alongside ONE HUNDRED and Big Planet Made Entertainment.

Prior to Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin, several artists under Cha Ga Won—including nine members of THE BOYZ from ONE HUNDRED, as well as Taemin, Lee Mujin, BE’O, VIVIZ, and Lee Seung Gi from Big Planet Made Entertainment—had also notified the company of their contract terminations.

Cha Ga Won is currently facing three fraud allegations. She is suspected of signing contracts involving the use of her artists’ intellectual property and receiving large advance payments without carrying out the related business. Police are reportedly consolidating the cases and continuing their investigation.

Stay tuned for updates.
