IST’s statement regarding The Boyz’s trademark rights
“Hello,
This is IST Entertainment.
We would like to address the recent misunderstandings and incorrect information regarding the trademark rights of THE BOYZ.
Contrary to reports, we had decided to grant all 11 members of THE BOYZ full rights to use the trademark free of charge. This decision was communicated to the members, and we intended to allow them to use the trademark for any activities they agreed upon, including unit or solo projects.
Additionally, for a member with approximately six months left on their exclusive contract, we agreed to terminate the contract early to support their new journey, and this decision was also conveyed to the member.
Our intention to provide trademark rights directly to the members rather than their new agency was based on our commitment to THE BOYZ’s continued success and a seamless connection with their fans.
Reports that we demanded excessive trademark fees or made unreasonable requests to the new agency are entirely false. We remained open to discussions and made standard proposals to ensure a smooth handover.
Although our time with THE BOYZ is ending, we will do everything in our power to support their future activities and wish them every success. Thank you.” cr koreaboo

3. The members should take it. Why is the new company trying to take it?;;
4. MC Mong’s company is a mess
5. If the members have trademark rights, can the new company use The Boyz’s trademark rights to release albums and produce merchandise?? I ask because I don’t know
6. IST = I will give the trademark rights to the members. One Hundred = Why are you giving it to the members? Give it to me
