After soloist Lee Mujin did not show up to his own show amid a “boycott” by his agency, making NMIXX‘s Kyujin shoot alone, MC Mong‘s One Hundred Label (and its subsidiaries, including Big Planet Made) faced fierce backlash as K-Pop fans found out about its ongoing feud with KBS.
Amid the backlash, One Hundred Label issued an official statement stating that Lee Mujin will be returning to the show for the upcoming episodes. While demanding cooperation from KBS, One Hundred Label also asked the broadcast channel to provide an explanation for Xiumin‘s “banning” from Music Bank.

Here’s the full statement:
“Hello, this is One Hundred Label.
We are aware of the high volume of inquiries regarding the broadcast schedules of our artists, Lee Soo Geun and Lee Mujin.
At the “2025 KBS Spring New Variety Show Presentation” held yesterday morning on March 7, 2025 (KST), Mr. Han Kyung Choon, the head of KBS Entertainment Center, addressed the ongoing issue, stating, “This is a bit of a miscommunication between the production team and the agency. We are not considering another host in Lee Mujin’s place. We believe that, by waiting and keeping an open line of communication, we will eventually come across a good opportunity to work things out.”
In response, we trust Mr. Han Kyung Choon’s statement and will ensure that our artists, including Lee Soo Geun and Lee Mujin, will return to their scheduled recordings starting next week. We ask for KBS’s full cooperation in this matter.
However, as we stated in our initial statement in regards to why Xiumin was unable to appear on Music Bank, we have only received an unofficial response that ‘It is not possible to feature artists from certain agencies simultaneously.’ We believe this is an unfair treatment of our artist and have attempted to communicate with KBS multiple times. However, aside from a media response claiming the allegations were ‘groundless,’ we have yet to receive any concrete explanation.
We are still awaiting KBS’s official statement regarding Xiumin’s exclusion from Music Bank.
Xiumin and our team have meticulously prepared his comeback stage for the fans, who have patiently waited for him for a long time. This is why we are seeking clarification and making necessary preparations for his activities. We will continue to do our best to present great performances for our fans, and we appreciate your interest and support. Thank you.”
